This article proposes receiver spatial diversity propagation path-loss channel models based on real-field measurement campaigns that were conducted in a line-of-site (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) indoor laboratory environment at 2.4 GHz. We apply equal gain power combining (EGC), coherent and noncoherent techniques, on the received signal powers. Our empirical data is used to propose spatial diversity propagation path-loss channel models using the log-distance and the floating intercept path-loss models. The proposed models indicate logarithmic-like reduction in the path-loss values as the number of diversity antennas increases. In the proposed spatial diversity empirical path-loss models, the number of diversity antenna elements is directly accounted for, and it is shown that they can accurately estimate the path-loss for any generalized number of receiving antenna elements for a given measurement setup. In particular, the floating intercept-based diversity path-loss model is vital to the 3GPP and WINNER II standards since they are widely utilized in multi-antenna-based communication systems.

AbstractSatellite-to-Ground Downlink-Free Space Optics (SatGD-FSO) communication systems are emerging as the key driver for telecom investment, with several factors driving this convergence. It is attractive to minimize the size, weight, and power profiles of the space terminals by utilizing high affectability and huge accumulation collection zone ground terminals. Multiaperture coherent receivers using spatial diversity approached is considered on the attractive solution can fulfill this necessity and have numerous focal points over the single enormous opening cognizant recipients. The effects of atmospheric and climatic conditions using various dynamic system parameters have been investigated as a function of bit-error-rate (BER) performance of multiaperture coherent receivers. Types of orbits, aperture averaging, zenith angle, transmit optical power, and modulation schemes are systematically investigated and compared to the SatGD communication system. The proposed solution with a maximum throughput of 2.5 Gbps is useful for a plan and optimization improvement of the SatGD-FSO systems.

AbstractA spherical wave propagates through the strong underwater turbulence media is modeled as gamma–gamma random variable in the underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. To mitigate turbulence-induced fading, spatial diversity over UWOC links is proposed. Furthermore, the exact bit error rate (BER) expressions for both single-input single-output (SISO) and single-input multiple-output (SIMO) UWOC systems with optimal combining based on on–off keying (OOK) modulation are analytically derived. Then the system performance is simulated with various variations of the underwater turbulence, i.e. the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, and the UWOC system link length. The results show that the analytical expressions for describing the system performance are valid and spatial diversity can considerably improve the system performance.
