The proposed hybrid link has a PON with fiber length of 10 km and 20 km, integrated with an FSO system capable of supporting high-speed connectivity for end-users within the link range of 100–1000 $m$. Also, MDM has been incorporated as a part of the strategy to improve the performance of FSO links under adverse atmospheric conditions. Four different Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes i.e. LG 00, LG 01, LG 10, and LG 11, have been used here with each mode capable of supporting user data of 10 Gbps. Among various modes, the proposed link has demonstrated promising results for LG 00 mode as compared to other modes. Additionally, in contrast to conventional FSO links, it has been observed that the MDM-FSO link is a highly reliable solution for delivering high-speed last-mile connectivity. However, for FSO links with link range typically beyond 700 $m$, the use of the non-MDM transmission is highly recommended.","PeriodicalId":235918,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third South American Colloquium on Visible Light Communications (SACVLC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122235876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the dynamic behavior of the network, the achievable secrecy rate of the legitimate users has been formulated. In order to allocate power to the legitimate users, the well-known gain ratio power allocation method is modified to improve the network sum secrecy rate (NSSR). The numerical results indicate that, the secrecy performance of the network is improved by employing the modified power allocation method. Furthermore, the effect of field of view (FOV) and the half-power angle have been taken into account and the simulation results show that, the NSSR depends on the FOV and the half-power angla of the optical transceivers.","PeriodicalId":235918,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third South American Colloquium on Visible Light Communications (SACVLC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128753959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this predictive study, all parameters are configured for both the radio base stations (RBS) and mobile stations (MS) located in certain points of the proposed coverage area. This allows obtaining the signal strength and visualizing the range in the covered maps. Subsequently, the data is exported to Google Earth Pro in order to identify the areas without coverage where it is not possible to establish of a point-to-point link communication. Consequently, the establishment of coverage in a given area will guarantee certain signal levels in the receiving equipment while considering different values for the coverage radius and azimuth. Finally, the proposed approach can be applied in all wireless communications systems allowing additionally Path Loss and E-field strength analysis.","PeriodicalId":235918,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third South American Colloquium on Visible Light Communications (SACVLC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130540462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the performance can be improved when an optical concentrator is placed on the transmitter side and a plano-convex lens on the receiver side. Experimental results obtained with an arrangement described in this work show a gain 9.23 times higher in the receiver when these elements are considered. And a gain of 3.07 times higher when only the optical concentrator is employed.
