S Sharma, AS Madhukumar, R Swaminathan - Journal of Optical Communications …, 2019

In this paper, we propose a switching scheme for a hybrid free-space optical (FSO)/radio frequency (RF) system with a selective decode-and-forward (DF) relay network. Specifically, the system transmits over FSO channels when the …
