• An experimental performance evaluation of the hybrid FSO/RF 

      Touati A.; Touati F.; Abdaoui A.; Khandakar A.; Hussain S.J.; ... more authors ( SPIE , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      This paper is a first attempt to study the effects of atmospheric turbulences on hybrid free space optics/ radio frequency (FSO/RF) transmission system in Doha, Qatar. The state of Qatar is characterized by a Mediterranean ...
    • Atmospheric turbulence effect on hybrid FSO/RF systems 

      Touati A.; Hussain S.J.; Touati F.; Bouallegue A. ( IEEE Computer Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      This article is focused on the atmospheric turbulence attenuation and their effect on the hybrid free space optical and radio frequency (FSO/RF) under Qatar harsh and dry climate. Analysis has been done by calculating the ...
    • Experimental setup to validate the effects of major environmental parameters on the performance of FSO communication link in Qatar 

      Khandakar A.; Touati A.; Touati F.; Abdaoui A.; Bouallegue A. ( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)
      Weather conditions and chemical composition of the atmosphere are the most uncontrollable challenges for free-space optical (FSO) communications. Environmental parameters contribute directly in the characterization of ...
    • Indoor test of the fog's effect on FSO link 

      Touati A.; Abdaoui A.; Touati F.; Khandakar A.; Bouallegue A. ( SPIE , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      In order to distinguish the most rigorous model, we made a comparison between measurements data and the mostly used empirical models. These models use the visibility as a basic parameter to predict the fog attenuation. In ...
    • Prospects and challenges of free space optical communications 

      Touati A.; Touati F.; Abdaoui A.; Khandakar A.; Bouallegue A. ( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      Free space optical (FSO) transmission is a technology which uses a narrow laser beam to transmit the signal from the source to the destination through the free space. Although it has various advantages, a laser beam ...
