Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the performance of free space optical (FSO) systems with parallel multihop relaying and path selection. Specifically, we consider an FSO communication system which employs M parallel relaying paths each of which consists of N decode-and-forward relays. We assume the deployment of the so-called m^th best path selection (m-BPS) protocol. In this protocol, data is transmitted through the m^th (m≥2) best path towards the destination since the best path (i.e., m = 1) might not be available due to scheduling or load balancing issues. Under the assumption of log-normal turbulence channels, we derive a closed form outage probability expression for the FSO communication system with m-BPS protocol and further confirm the accuracy of derived expression through Monte Carlo simulations.
