Title
Adaptive cooperation for free space optical communications
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new Adaptive Cooperation (AC) protocol for Free Space Optical (FSO) communications. Two versions of the protocol are presented. The first protocol uses the Instantaneous Signal to Noise Ratio (ISNR) to activate the relay only when the corresponding instantaneous throughput is better than that of the direct link. The second protocol uses the Average SNR (ASNR) to activate the relay when its average throughput is larger than that of the direct link. The proposed AC protocol has been extended to include Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC). Our results are valid for FSO communications in the presence of Gamma Gamma atmospheric turbulence.
