Relay-assisted free-space optical (FSO) communication systems are exploited as a means to mitigate the limiting effects of the turbulence induced atmospheric scintillation. However, conventional ground relays are stationary, and their optimal placement is not always feasible. Due to their mobility and flexibility, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide new opportunities for FSO relaying systems. In this paper, a hovering UAV-based serial FSO decode-and-forward relaying system is investigated. In the channel modelling for such a system, four types of impairments (i.e., atmospheric loss, atmospheric turbulence, pointing error, and link interruption due to angle-of-arrival fluctuation) are considered. Based on the proposed channel model, a tractable expression for the probability density function of the total channel gain is obtained. Closed-form expressions of the link outage probability and end-to-end outage probability are derived. Asymptotic outage performance bounds for each link and the overall system are also presented to reveal insights into the impacts of different impairments. To improve system performance, we optimize the beam width, field-of-view and UAVs locations. Numerical results show that the derived theoretical expressions are accurate to evaluate the outage performance of the system. Moreover, the proposed optimization schemes are efficient and can improve performance significantly.

In this letter, we study multiuser communication systems enabled by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is equipped with a directional antenna of adjustable beamwidth. We propose a fly-hover-and-communicate protocol where the ground terminals (GTs) are partitioned into disjoint clusters that are sequentially served by the UAV as it hovers above the corresponding cluster centers. We jointly optimize the UAVs flying altitude and antenna beamwidth for throughput optimization in three fundamental multiuser communication models, namely UAV-enabled downlink multicasting (MC), downlink broadcasting (BC), and uplink multiple access (MAC). Our results show that the optimal UAV altitude and antenna beamwidth critically depend on the communication model considered.
A major performance degrading factor in free space optical communication (FSO) systems is atmospheric turbulence. Spatial diversity techniques provide a promising approach to mitigate turbulence-induced fading. In this paper, we study the error rate performance of FSO links with spatial diversity over atmospheric turbulence channels described by the Double Generalized Gamma distribution which is a new generic statistical model covering all turbulence conditions. We assume intensity modulation/direct detection with on-off keying and present the BER performance of single-input multiple-output (SIMO), multiple-input single-output (MISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) FSO systems over this new channel model.
Recently, the spatial modulation (SM) technique has been proposed for visible light communication (VLC). This paper investigates the average symbol error rate (SER) for the VLC using adaptive spatial modulation (ASM). In the system, the analysis of t he average SER is divided into two aspects: the error probability of the spatial domain and the error probability of the signal domain when the spatial domain is correctly estimated. Based on the two aspects, the theoretical expression of the average SER is derived. To further improve the system performance, an optimization problem is proposed to optimize the modulation orders on the LEDs. The ASM based and the candidate reduction (CR)-ASM based optimization algorithms are proposed to solve the problem, respectively. Numerical results show that the derived theoretical values of the average SER are quite accurate to evaluate the system performance. Moreover, compared with the existing schemes, the proposed two algorithms are better choices for VLC.
In this paper, the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) deployment, power allocation, and bandwidth allocation is investigated for a UAV-assisted wireless system operating at terahertz (THz) frequencies. In the studied model, one UAV can service ground users using the THz frequency band. However, the highly uncertain THz channel will introduce new challenges to the UAV location, user power, and bandwidth allocation optimization problems. Therefore, it is necessary to design a novel framework to deploy UAVs in the THz wireless systems. This problem is formally posed as an optimization problem whose goal is to minimize the total delays of the uplink and downlink transmissions between the UAV and the ground users by jointly optimizing the deployment of the UAV, the transmit power and the bandwidth of each user. The communication delay is crucial for emergency communications. To tackle this nonconvex delay minimization problem, an alternating algorithm is proposed while iteratively solving three subproblems: location optimization subproblem, power control subproblem, and bandwidth allocation subproblem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the transmission delay by up to $59.3%$, $49.8%$ and $75.5%$ respectively compared to baseline algorithms that optimize only UAV location, bandwidth allocation or transmit power control.
Telemedicine refers to the use of information and communication technology to assist with medical information and services. In health care applications, high reliable communication links between the health care provider and the desired destination in the human body play a central role in designing end-to-end (E2E) telemedicine system. In the advanced health care applications, $text{e.g.}$ drug delivery, molecular communication becomes a major building block in bio-nano-medical applications. In this paper, an E2E communication link consisting of the electromagnetic and the molecular link is investigated. This paradigm is crucial when the body is a part of the communication system. Based on the quality of service (QoS) metrics, we present a closed-form expression for the E2E BER of the combination of molecular and wireless electromagnetic communications. textcolor{black}{ Next, we formulate an optimization problem with the aim of minimizing the E2E BER of the system to achieve the optimal symbol duration for EC and DMC regarding the imposing delivery time from telemedicine services.} The proposed problem is solved by an iterative algorithm based on the bisection method. Also, we study the impact of the system parameters, including drift velocity, detection threshold at the receiver in molecular communication, on the performance of the system. Numerical results show that the proposed method obtains the minimum E2E bit error probability by selecting an appropriate symbol duration of electromagnetic and molecular communications.
