This paper investigates a novel method for boosting the performance of parallel-relaying decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative free space optical (FSO) networks. The proposed solution takes advantage from the presence of the ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of relay-assisted free space optical (FSO) communications in the case where the relays are equipped with buffers of finite size. The high directivity of the FSO links clearly distinguishes ...

Relay-assisted FSO systems were proposed as a means for remedying the effects of the various atmospheric impairments on the quality of the FSO signal. Conventional relay-assisted FSO systems, however, are designed around ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) free-space optical communications under the Poisson photon-counting detection model. Aiming for high bit rate objectives, we consider the ...

The GPS‐derived velocity field (1988–2005) for the zone of interaction of the Arabian, African (Nubian, Somalian), and Eurasian plates indicates counterclockwise rotation of a broad area of the Earth's surface including ...

Free Space Optics (FSO) communication systems have been heavily studied in the literature during the recent decade. Compared to the widely used and traditional Radio Frequency (RF) communication systems, FSO systems are ...

This paper presents a methodology to develop an energy management strategy that would quasi-optimize the fuel consumption of a parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle in real-time operations over the entire trip. Hence, the main ...

Increasing the HMA base thickness and modifying the HMA mixture properties to improve the resistance to fatigue cracking are among the most popular methods for achieving long-lasting pavements. Such methods are based on ...

Space scheduling pertains to allocating the work space to resources associated which activates in a schedule as it changes over time. This is an important aspect of materials management in dynamic environments in which ...
