Title
Outage Performance of the Mixed RF/FSO Relaying Channel in the Presence of Interference.
Abstract
We present novel closed-form expressions for the outage probability of the amplify-and-forward dual-hop semi-blind relaying channel, composed of mixed radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) links, while the relay is corrupted by both co-channel interferences and noise. The RF link is assumed to follow Nakagami-m distribution, while the FSO link is under the influence of atmospheric turbulence modelled by the Gamma–Gamma fading taking pointing errors into account. The analytical results are validated by Monte Carlo simulations. The obtained general expressions are simplified when RF link is noise-limited. The numerical results show the existence of the outage probability floor, which can be taken into account in the system design.
