Recently, a network coding-based packet forwarding architecture COPE was proposed for multihop wireless networks to improve the throughput. Both simulation and testbed results verified COPE’s capability of enhancing throughput. However, COPE si
In this paper, the end-to-end outage probability of a multihop free space optical (FSO) communication system over N independent Nakagami fading relay channels were analyzed. We assume that the channel state information-based relays have the knowledge
This paper proposes and analyzes the performance of the multihop free-space optical (FSO) communication links usinga heterodyne differential phase-shift keying modulation scheme operating over a turbulence induced fading channel. A novel statistical
