Abstract:Bearing in mind the high data rate and volume requirements of 5G and beyond networks, millimeter wave (mmWave) systems can be utilized with the assistance of free-space optical (FSO) systems since both technologies exhibit distinctive behaviors under different weather conditions. Therefore, in this study, we investigate a relay-based dual-hop hybrid FSO-mmWave systems from an outage performance point of view, where the communication in each hop is established on both FSO and mmWave links simultaneously.
