Abstract

The ever-growing demand for high-bandwidth communication in mobile networks necessitates innovative solutions that provide exceptional capacity and reliability. This paper introduces a novel dual hop hybrid system model that leverages the complementary strengths of free space optics (FSO) and millimeter-wave (mm W) communication, while incorporating a direct mm W link for added robustness. This paper analyzes the comprehensive performance of the proposed hybrid system using a single threshold selection combining. We consider a scenario where the channel state for the FSO link adheres to a Log-Normal distribution under conditions of weak turbulence. For the millimeter wave link, we assume it follows a Nakagami-m distribution, which encompasses a broad range of commonly encountered radio frequency (RF) fading distributions. The proposed system's performance is analyzed by deriving analytical expressions for average bit error rate (ABER) and outage probability (OP). The theoretical results of the proposed system, which are verified using Monte-Carlo simulations, unveil that under turbulence and adverse weather conditions, the performance of the proposed system over a standalone FSO system is improved significantly due to mm W backup link.

Keywords: Hybrid FSO/mm W, Outage Probability, Average Bit Error Rate, Selection Combining.
