Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a hybrid communication architecture that combines millimeter-wave (MMW) in the radio frequency (RF) domain and free-space-optics (FSO) technologies using adaptive combining and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques. At the receiving end, we employed joint signal processing with an adaptive diversity combining technique (ADCT) based on a maximum ratio combining (MRC) algorithm. We derived closed-form expressions for the outage probability and throughput of the hybrid RF and FSO (RF/FSO) system, considering various characteristics of atmospheric turbulence in the FSO link. Experimental testing with 10-Gbaud quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) data was conducted under different simulated atmospheric turbulence intensities, FSO and MMW speed-ratios, and forward error correction (FEC) overheads. Additionally, we validated improvements in terms of bit error ratio (BER), outage probability, and throughput performance.
