Switching-Based Cooperative Decode-and-Forward Relaying for Hybrid FSO/RF Networks

In this paper, we propose a switching scheme for a hybrid free-space optical (FSO)/radio frequency (RF) system with a selective decode-and-forward (DF) relay network. Specifically, the system transmits over FSO channels when the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the FSO receiver is ...
