Abstract

In this paper, we propose a dual-hop RF (Radio-Frequency)/FSO (Free-Space Optical) system with multiple relays employing the Decode-and-Forward (DF) and Amplify-and-Forward (AF) with a Fixed Gain (FG) relaying scheme. The RF channels are subject to a Rayleigh distribution while the optical links experience a unified fading model emcopassing the atmospheric turbulence that follows the Málaga distribution (or also called the M-distribution), the atmospheric path loss and the pointing error. Partial relay selection (PRS) with outdated channel state information (CSI) is proposed to select the candidate relay to forward the signal to the destination. At the reception, the detection of the signal can be achieved following either heterodyne or Intensity Modulation and Direct Detection (IM/DD). Many previous attempts neglected the impact of the hardware impairments and assumed ideal hardware. This assumption makes sense for low data rate systems but it would no longer be valid for high data rate systems. In this work, we propose a general model of hardware impairment to get insight into quantifying its effects on the system performance. We will demonstrate that the hardware impairments have small impact on the system performance for low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but it can be destructive at high SNR values. Furthermore analytical expressions and upper bounds are derived for the outage probability and ergodic capacity while the symbol error probability is obtained through the numerical integration method. Capitalizing on these metrics, we also derive the high SNR asymptotes to get valuable insight into the system gains such as the diversity and the coding gains. Finally, analytical and numerical results are presented and validated by Monte Carlo simulation.
