In the considered cognitive radio, the licence spectrum of a primary user (PU)is shared with an unlicensed user, denoted as secondary user (SU), using underlay spectrum-sharing and power control mechanism to keep the interference at the PU receiver side, always below a given threshold. For the FSO link, some practical issues such as pointing errors, and atmospheric turbulence are taken into considerations, where the IM/DD scheme is used for signal detection. It is also assumed that RF and FSO links follow the Rayleigh and the Gamma-Gamma distributions, respectively. To perform a performance analysis, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the received signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) at the SU receiver is presented. Using the CDF expression, a closed-form expression is derived for the average channel capacity of the considered hybrid RF-FSO system. Finally, the numerical results as well as Monte-Carlo simulation results, and discussions are presented.","PeriodicalId":375524,"journal":{"name":"2019 2nd West Asian Colloquium on Optical Wireless Communications (WACOWC)","volume":"312 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114111428","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}

For a better understanding of UAV-based FSO systems, it is important to study the capacity of such channels, which is the main goal of this paper. To this aim, we first derive the closed-form expression for ergodic capacity of ground-to-UAV link in terms of well-known elementary functions.

In contrast to conventional differential signaling which is based on equal gain combining (EGC)of the two wavelengths, here, the two wavelengths are combined at the receiver using non-equal channel-dependent weighting factors. By formulating the BER of the system and the background suppression criterion, the optimal weights are derived by minimizing the BER under background suppression constraints. Since the aforementioned optimization problem is non-convex, we optimize the upper bound of BER and show that the optimal scheme outperforms the conventional EGC scheme. Numerical results confirm the superiority of the proposed scheme in terms of achievable BER upper-bound compared to classical EGC method.","PeriodicalId":375524,"journal":{"name":"2019 2nd West Asian Colloquium on Optical Wireless Communications (WACOWC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125855197","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}

An interesting approach for network algorithm design is to use some knowledge about the future of the network. With this regards, the anticipatory design may improve the performance of the system in terms of delay and throughput. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art anticipatory algorithms proposed in the literature, given different prediction capabilities. The key element that all of these algorithms share is to find an event that correlates the current actions to the performance of the network in the future. Apart from the amount of possible prediction, two main approaches have been proposed for problem formulation. The optimal anticipatory resource allocation problem can be formulated in terms of a T-step look-ahead optimization problem. This approach requires more accurate information about the future of the network and yields higher performance improvements. The objective function can be adjusted to achieve high fairness and throughput or low latency in the system. On the other hand, the resource allocation algorithm can be expressed as a matching problem on a bipartite graph. The partial knowledge of the future can be added to the problem using proper heuristic preference functions.","PeriodicalId":375524,"journal":{"name":"2019 2nd West Asian Colloquium on Optical Wireless Communications (WACOWC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116853030","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}
