Approximations to the Performance of Wireless Optical Relaying Communications over Weak Turbulence Channels
Lognormal channel is a powerful mathematical tool in modeling fading effects for wireless optical communications over weak turbulence channels. However
which reveal little insights into the relation between the system performance and the channel parameters. Therefore
Wilkinson Approximation (WA) and Fenton Approximation (FA) are widely applied to approximate the performance of lognormal fading channels. However
their ranges of applications are not fully studied
which causes discrepancies in performance evaluations. In this work
we compare WA and FA based on the expressions of moments
and propose an approach to approximate the performance of Free-Space Optical Communications (FSO) relaying systems over the lognormal weak turbulence channels
and discuss the ranges of applications for WA and FA. It is shown that at low and medium Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
error probability approximation based on WA is more accurate. However
at large SNR
Fenton’s approach will provide better approximation accuracy compared to the WA. Simulation results indicate that the approximation error depends on the discrepancies between the variances over FSO links as well as the scintillation level of the channels.
