BER Performance of Lognormal Channel Model with Imperfect CSI for Free Space Optical Communication

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In this paper, Lognormal Channel model has discussed with the assumption of imperfect CSI. This channel model is used to describe atmospheric channel condition in mathematical form. BER performance of this channel model is shown according to turbulence scenario based on BER equation available. Here Gauss-Markov model is used for the case of imperfect CSI.
