| description | The performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing- (OFDM-) based free-space optics (FSO) depends on various parameters such as number of subcarriers, base band modulation, nature of laser beam, turbulence modelling, and much more. Various diversity techniques have been studied by researchers for the improvement of signal strength due to fading caused by atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, a novel channel coding scheme formed by serially concatenation of irregular low-density parity check (LDPC) and trellis code modulation (TCM) codes linked by interleaver is proposed. The proposed unified coding scheme is simulated and analyzed using the lognormal scintillation model, which is suitable for weak turbulent conditions. The obtained results are the comparative study of various channel coding schemes in terms of bit error rate (BER) vs. signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Simulation results confirm that newly designed hybrid code outperforms the independently coded and uncoded systems under weak turbulence conditions by reducing the number of errors in the transmitted information that occurs due to fading. It is found that the presented hybrid coded OFDM-FSO system with 16-level quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) provides significant improvement with less decoding complexity and reasonable delay. |
