• 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 ...
    • Performance of Mixed RF/FSO with Variable Gain over Generalized Atmospheric Turbulence Channels 

      Yang L.; Hasna , Mazen; Gao X. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)
      In this paper, we consider a free-space optical (FSO) communication scheme with the help of a variable gain relay where the links from the source to the relay are radio-frequency (RF) links while the links between the relay ...
    • 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 ...
