Performance Analysis of Mixed Nakagami- $m$ and Gamma–Gamma Dual-Hop FSO Transmission Systems (2015, background): “This impairment caused by the atmospheric effects is known as the atmospheric turbulence [2].”
Performance Analysis of the Asymmetric Dual-Hop Relay Transmission With Mixed RF/FSO Links (2011, background): “However, the existence of an atmospheric turbulence may lead to a significant degradation in performance of the FSO communications system over the distances of 1 km or longer [7].”
BER Performance of Free-Space Optical Transmission with Spatial Diversity (2007, methodology): “, D0 >> d0, the detrimental effect of turbulence-induced fading is reduced due to the aperture averaging [2].”
Pointing Error Effects on Free-Space Optical Communication Links in the Presence of Atmospheric Turbulence (2009, methodology): “For the weak turbulence regimes, the results so obtained are directly applicable for detector aperture diameters much smaller than the turbulence coherence diameter [13].”
A Unifying Statistical Model for Atmospheric Optical Scintillation (2011, methodology): “Of course, as the effective number of discrete scatterer cells, α , becomes unbounded (a huge thick turbulent medium), i.e., α → ∞ , the K distribution tends to the negative exponential distribution as the gamma distribution that governs X approaches a delta function (Andrews et al., 2001).”
Performance analysis of MIMO free-space optical systems in gamma-gamma fading (2009, methodology): “The K–distribution is typically used to model strong turbulence conditions [9], [10], [12], [17], while the NE distribution can be seen as a limit distribution for extremely strong turbulence [8] and has been used in the literature mostly because of its mathematical tractability [7], [28].”
Free space optical system performance for laser beam propagation through non-Kolmogorov turbulence (2007, neutral): “Using this new spectrum, following the same procedure already used from Andrews and Phillips [1][2], we have analyzed the impact of the exponent’s variation on Long Term Beam Spread, Scintillation index, Probability of fade, mean Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and mean Bit Error Rate (BER) for…”
Survey on Free Space Optical Communication: A Communication Theory Perspective (2014, methodology): “This results in a considerable degradation of the system performance, especially in long-distance transmissions of about several kilometers [51], [88].”
Wireless Myths, Realities, and Futures: From 3G/4G to Optical and Quantum Wireless (2012, background): “In the context of long-range outdoor point-to-point free-space links [known as free-space optics (FSO)] there has been a substantial amount of work on mitigating the effect of weather-dependent attenuation and atmospheric turbulence, which limits their transmission integrity and throughput [111].”
Underwater Optical Wireless Communications: Overview (2020, background): “Moreover, since the optical band is not included in the telecommunications regulations, it does not require payment of licensing fees and tariffs [34–40].”
