links with nonzero boresight pointing error is the subject of this paper. In particular, utilizing
log-normal turbulence model, we propose a novel closed-form statistical channel model for
UAV-based FSO links that takes into account the effect of nonzero boresight pointing errors.
Subsequently, utilizing Gamma-Gamma turbulence model, we propose a novel channel
characterization for such links that is valid under moderate to strong turbulence conditions …
