Relay selection in mixed RF/FSO system using DF relaying

Abstract: In this paper, we carry out the performance analysis of relay selection in decode-and-forward (DF)-based mixed radio frequency/free-space optical (RF/FSO) system. We consider two relay selection schemes, namely maxselect and distributed switch and stay, and compare their performance with the system having all relays active. The selected DF relay decodes the received RF signal from source and converts it into an optical signal using the subcarrier intensity modulation scheme for transmission over FSO links.

“…In this case, relay selection technique has been proposed as an efficient solution to alleviate these limitations whereby the best relays are selected for data transmission. The research work on relay selection has been studied in the work of Sharma et al where the relays employed DF protocol under different selection schemes and the RF link and FSO link are respectively subjected to generalized η − μ and Gamma‐Gamma distributions. The work was later extended to AF‐based system in the work of Sharma et al under the same channel conditions.…”

“…This can be accomplished through the use of either amplified-and-forward (AF) and/or decode-and-forward (DF) relaying node(s) to transmit information between the source and destination [1]. Traditionally, RF cooperative systems suffer from vital limitations such as spectrum scarcity and limited data rate [2]. To alleviate these problems, FSO system has been proposed to be used in conjunction with the RF system because of its desirable features such as unlicensed spectrum, high security, and cheap cost of deployment [3].…”

“…To overcome these limitations, relay selection technique has been suggested in literature where the best relay is selected for data transmission [11]. In [2], the performance of a DF mixed RF/FSO system under different relay selections was investigated with RF and FSO links subjected to generalized η-μ and Gamma-Gamma distributions, respectively. The authors further extended the work to an AF-based system under the channel characterizes in [12].…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9] The higher capacity and wide coverage advantages of mixed radio frequency (RF)/FSO cooperative communication systems have recently attracted the researchers. 3,[10][11][12][13][14] Different cooperative protocols such as amplify-and-forward 10,11 and decode-and-forward (DF) [13][14][15] have widely been investigated in mixed RF/FSO networks. Anees and Bhatnagar 3 investigated the error performance and the capacity analysis for the DF-based mixed RF/FSO system over Nakagami-m and GG fading channels.…”

“…Anees and Bhatnagar investigated the error performance and the capacity analysis for the DF‐based mixed RF/FSO system over Nakagami‐ m and GG fading channels. Sharma et al carried out a performance analysis of relay selection in DF‐based mixed RF/FSO system. The aforementioned authors also utilized a generalized model for RF fading as η − μ distribution and obtained the average error performance of the DF‐based RF/FSO system with GG‐distributed optical link.…”
