Performance Analysis of Mixed RF/FSO Relaying under HPA Nonlinearity and IQ Imbalance

Abstract

In this paper, we present the performance analysis of asymmetric dual-hop RF/FSO system with multiple relays. The RF channels follow the correlated Rayleigh fading while the optical links are subject to the Gamma-Gamma fading. To select the candidate relay to forward the communication, we assume Partial Relay Selection (PRS) with outdated Channel State Information (CSI). Unlike the vast majority of work in this area, we introduce the impairments to the relays and the destination. We will propose three impairment models called Soft Envelope Limiter (SEL), Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) and IQ Imbalance in order to compare the resilience of our system with the RF one against the hardware impairments. Closed-from of the outage probability (OP) is derived in terms of Meijer's G function as well as the upper bound of the ergodic capacity (EC). The Bit Error Rate (BER) and the exact EC are evaluated numerically. Finally, analytical and numerical results are presented and validated by Monte Carlo simulation.
