Abstract

Optical wireless communication (OWC) enables wireless connectivity using ultraviolet bands, infrared or visible. With its advantages features as high bandwidth, low cost, and operation in an unregulated spectrum. Free-space optical (FSO) communication systems are near terrestrial as a communication link between transceivers, the link is line-of-sight and successfully transmitted optical signals. Nevertheless, the optical signals transmissions over the FSO channels bring challenges to the system. To overcome the challenges posed by the FSO channels, the most common technique is to use relay stations, the most recent is the reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) technique. This study introduces a Weibull distribution model for a free-space optical communication link with RISs assisted, the parameter used to evaluate the performance of the system is the average symbol error rate (ASER). The RISs effect is examined by considering the influence of the transmitter beam waist radius, shape parameter, aperture radius, scale parameter, and signal-to-noise ratio on the ASER.

Abstract

In optical wireless communication (OWC), the reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are used to manipulate optical signals by controlling the phase shifts or amplitude of reflected beams, which helps improve signal quality. RIS units can be tailored to increase the strength and reliability of the communication link, especially in challenging fading conditions. The double-hop scenario involves two RIS-assisted segments, such as transmitter to RIS-1 and RIS-1 to RIS-2 or a receiver. Each hop encounters log-normal fading, which impacts the overall link performance. Log-normal fading models the irradiance fluctuation caused by turbulence, which is significant in free-space optical (FSO) systems, this fading model assumes that the received optical signal’s amplitude varies with a log-normal distribution, making it more suited for weak to moderate turbulence. Numerical results are obtained under different of link distance, subcarrier quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is displayed quantitatively illustrate the average symbol error rate in the absence of RIS and with double-hop of RIS.
