Abstract:<p>The performance analysis of hard-switching based mixed free space optical (FSO)/ intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided radio frequency (RF) communication system is carried out in terms of outage probability (OP). The FSO link with larger bandwidth is considered as primary link, it is active for transmission when the FSO channel condition is good enough. The RF link referred to as the back-up link is activated for transmission whenever the FSO link is poor. Further, the transmission via RF link is… Show more
