High-Speed FSO System for Future Generation Networks for Long Reach
摘要
A free space optics (FSO) system is proposed and described mathematically to meet the needs of future networks. Various integrating and synchronizing methods of hybrid fiber optic and FSO components incorporating advanced modulation formats, are discussed. The system performance is evaluated considering FSO link losses, signal regeneration, and amplification. Simulation results depict that 200–1400 m range at 10 Gbps under clear air, rain, fog and dust for different frequencies. In addition, system throughput can be extended upto 5–20 Gbps at 200–1400 m range under diverse climate conditions. This system offers superior performance over other existing ones. In future this system can be realized for 5G based future network topologies, hybrid fiber-FSO technology for high infrastructure compatibility, high-speed, and long-reach capabilities by supporting new applications.
