In this paper, we investigate the performance of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted dual-hop mixed radio-frequency underwater wireless optical communication (RF-UWOC) system. An RIS is an emerging and low-cost technology that aims to enhance the strength of the received signal, thus improving the system performance. In the considered system setup, a ground source does not have a reliable direct link to a given marine buoy and communicates with it through an RIS installed on a building. In particular, the buoy acts as a relay that sends the signal to an underwater destination. In this context, analytical expressions for the outage probability (OP), average bit error rate (ABER), and average channel capacity (ACC) are derived assuming fixed-gain amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying protocols at the marine buoy. Moreover, asymptotic analyses of the OP and ABER are carried out in order to gain further insights from the analytical frameworks. In particular, the system diversity order is derived and it is shown to depend on the RF link parameters and on the detection schemes of the UWOC link. Finally, it is demonstrated that RIS-assisted systems can effectively improve the performance of mixed dual-hop RF-UWOC systems.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of a mixed radio-frequency-underwater wireless optical communication (RF-UWOC) system where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), as a low-altitude mobile aerial base station, transmits information to an auto nomous underwater vehicle (AUV) through a fixed-gain amplify-and-forward (AF) or decode-and-forward (DF) relay. Our analysis accounts for the main factors that affect the system performance, such as the UAV height, air bubbles, temperature gradient, water salinity variations, and detection techniques. Employing fixed-gain AF relaying and DF relaying, we derive closed-form expressions for some key performance metrics, e.g., outage probability (OP), average bit error rate (ABER), and average channel capacity (ACC). In addition, in order to get further insights, asymptotic analyses for the OP and ABER are also carried out. Furthermore, assuming DF relaying, we derive analytical expressions for the optimal UAV altitude that minimizes the OP. Simulation results show that the UAV altitude influences the system performance and there is an optimal altitude which ensures a minimum OP. Moreover, based on the asymptotic results, it is demonstrated that the diversity order of fixed-gain AF relaying and DF relaying are respectively determined by the RF link and by the detection techniques of the UWOC link.
We analyze the secrecy performance of a two-hop mixed radio frequency (RF)/underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system using a decode-and-forward (DF) relay. All RF and UWOC links are modeled by the $alpha-mu$ and exponential-generalized Gamma distributions, respectively. We first derive the expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) in exact closed-form, which are subsequently used to derive asymptotic expressions at high SNR that only includes simple functions for further insight. Moreover, based on the asymptotic expression, we can determine the optimal transmit power for a wide variety of RF and UWOC channel conditions. All analyses are validated using Monte Carlo simulation.

In this paper, the performance of a dual-hop relaying terahertz (THz) wireless communication system is investigated. In particular, the behaviors of the two THz hops are determined by three factors, which are the deterministic path loss, the fading e ffects, and pointing errors. Assuming that both THz links are subject to the $alpha$-$mu$ fading with pointing errors, we derive exact expressions for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and probability density function (PDF) of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Relying on the CDF and PDF, important performance metrics are evaluated, such as the outage probability, average bit error rate, and average channel capacity. Moreover, the asymptotic analyses are presented to obtain more insights. Results show that the dual-hop relaying scheme has better performance than the single THz link. The systems diversity order is $minleft{frac{phi_1}{2},frac{alpha_1mu_1}{2},phi_2,alpha_2mu_2right}$, where $alpha_i$ and $mu_i$ represent the fading parameters of the $i$-th THz link for $iin(1,2)$, and $phi_i$ denotes the pointing error parameter. In addition, we extend the analysis to a multi-relay cooperative system and derive the asymptotic symbol error rate expressions. Results demonstrate that the diversity order of the multi-relay system is $Kminleft{frac{phi_1}{2},frac{alpha_1mu_1}{2},phi_2,alpha_2mu_2right}$, where $K$ is the number of relays. Finally, the derived analytical expressions are verified by Monte Carlo simulation.
Employing reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) is emerging as a game-changer candidate, thanks to their unique capabilities in improving the power efficiency and supporting the ubiquity of future wireless communication systems. Conventionally, a wireless network design has been limited to the communicating end points, i.e., the transmitter and the receiver. In general, we take advantage of the imposed channel state knowledge to manipulate the transmitted signal and to improve the detection quality at the receiver. With the aid of RISs, and to some extent, the propagation channel has become a part of the design problem. In this paper, we consider a single-input single-output cooperative network and investigate the effect of using RISs in enhancing the physical layer security of the system. Specifically, we formulate an optimization problem to study the effectiveness of the RIS in improving the system secrecy by introducing a weighted variant of the secrecy capacity definition. Numerical simulations are provided to show the design trade-offs and to present the superiority of RIS-assisted networks over the conventional ones in terms of the systems secrecy performance.
This paper proposes highly accurate closed-form approximations to channel distributions of two different reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-based wireless system setups, namely, dual-hop RIS-aided (RIS-DH) scheme and RIS-aided transmit (RIS-T) scheme. Differently from previous works, the proposed approximations reveal to be very tight for arbitrary number $N$ of reflecting metasurfaces elements. Our findings are then applied to the performance analysis of the considered systems, in which the outage probability, bit error rate, and average channel capacity are derived. Results show that the achievable diversity orders $G_d$ for RIS-DH and RIS-T schemes are $N-1<G_d<N$ and $N$, respectively. Furthermore, it is revealed that both schemes can not provide the multiplexing gain and only diversity gains are achieved. For the RIS-DH scheme, the channels are similar to the keyhole multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels with only one degree of freedom, while the RIS-T scheme is like the transmit diversity structure.
