Channel Measurement and Markov Modeling of an Urban Free-Space Optical Link
Abstract
Free-space optical (FSO) communication links provide high data rates; however, their reliability is heavily dependent on weather conditions. This paper presents our experimental urban 1.87 km FSO link based on a customized commercial system and develops a library of channel measurements in clear and light rain weather conditions. A channel model for the link is proposed and experimentally quantified. Channel measurements are obtained by …
