In this paper, we investigate the probability of error
for an optical wireless communication system employing binary
phase-shift keying (BPSK) subcarrier intensity modulation (SIM)
in underwater communication channel. The communication
channel through which the Gaussian beam is propagating is
assumed to be log-normal distributed, that is valid for the weakly
turbulent regime. The receiver is a PIN-type point photodetector.
Results are obtained for various parameters of the underwater
turbulent medium, Gaussian beam, and receiver, which include
the average temperature and salinity concentration, the
dissipation rates of temperature and energy, temperature-salinity
gradient ratio, wavelength, link distance. Results underscore the
destructive impact of turbulence on the performance of
underwater optical wireless communication. |
