Standard Deviation of Fiber-Coupling Efficiency for Free-Space Optical Communication Through Atmospheric Turbulence by Woohyeon Moon, Hoon Kim

“…Due to atmospheric turbulence, however, the coupling efficiency, which is defined by the ratio of the fiber-coupled optical power to the optical power reaching the aperture, fluctuates over time, and thus should be treated as a random variable. …”

A new method for routing protocols using hybrid fuzzy clustering in UWSNs by Xiaoju Wang, Bin Meng, Xuexu Yuan, Junwei Zhao

“…Besides, the new scheme improved energy variance by 40% at nodes to prolong the network lifetime and maintain a higher throughput in conditions of variable network load. This fuzzy clustering technique stands apart because it tries to overcome UWSN-specific challenges using adaptive data aggregation along with multistep communication and hence is more resistant and energy-efficient compared to the conventional protocols.…”
