Cloud coverage is one of the critical concerns for reliable hybrid free-space optic
(FSO)/radio frequency (RF) based satellite communications. This adverse issue poses …

Satellite-based Internet access for the whole globe, a newly emerging market, has recently
received much attention from both academia and industry. In this paper, we present an …

This paper presents an analytical study of the performance of transmission control protocol
(TCP) in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite based on free-space optical (FSO) communication …

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in Internet access from space assisted by
low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. In the domain of the last-mile access for the Internet …

Free-space optics (FSO)-based, low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite-assisted Internet of vehicles
(IoVs) has recently attracted research efforts worldwide. For the majority of Internet …

We developed an analytic characterization of the steady-state throughput of a free-space
optical satellite communications (FSOSC) system which includes an ultra-high-speed …

Inter-satellite links (ISL) are a useful technology to transmit data to space stations and to
communicate between satellites. However, there are serious limitations due to long delays …

Free space optic communication (FSOC) can be considered as high data rate providing
communication link between optical ground stations and satellites. However, clouds offer …

Objectives: The need for constricting, lightweight, low-power electronics-aggravated by the
thriving demand for large data flow rate and bandwidth is urging the use of optical …

Free space optics (FSO) communication due to its large optical carrier bandwidth offers
better data rates close to gigabits per second (GBPS) compared to radio frequency (RF) …
