Optical wireless GEO satellite-to-ground downlinks: rateless codes as solution for scintillation fading
2013
Scintillation fading can corrupt a satellite-to-ground optical wireless links with burst errors. Rateless codes, suitable for erasure channel, are able to eliminate or to reduce these communication errors. We analyzed the performances of three different rateless codes in a simulated Geo satellite-to-ground downlink.
Correlated channel model for terrestrial Free Space Optics: performance analysis of rateless codes
2012
We describe a novel correlated channel model able to predict random temporal fluctuations of optical signal irradiance caused by scintillation. With regards to the same channel, we also report simulation results on the error mitigation performance of Luby-Transform and Raptor codes.
FREE SPACE OPTICS LINKS AFFECTED BY OPTICAL TURBULENCE: CHANNEL MODELING, MEASUREMENTS AND CODING TECHNIQUES FOR ERROR MITIGATION
2014
FSO is an optical wireless line-of-sight communication system able to offer good broadband performance, electromagnetic interference immunity, high security, license-free operation, low power consumption, ease of relocation, and straightforward installation. It represents a modern technology, significantly functional when it is impossible, expensive or complex to use physical connections or radio links. Unfortunately, since the transmission medium in a terrestrial FSO link is the air, these communications are strongly dependent on various atmospheric phenomena (e.g., rain, snow, optical turbulence and, especially, fog) that can cause losses and fading. Therefore, in worst-case conditions, i…
