Improving Performance of Integrated Ground-HAPS FSO Communication Links With MIMO Application by Emna Zedini, Yalcn Ata, Mohamed-Slim Alouini

“…We then derive the probability density function (PDF) of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under the combined effect of turbulence, AOA fluctuations, attenuation due to absorption and scattering, and generalized pointing error impairments. Capitalizing on this PDF expression, we present novel results for fundamental performance metrics, including outage probability, average bit-error rate (BER) of on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme, and ergodic capacity expressed in terms of the Meijer's G function. …”
