TL;DR: Results show that hybrid FSO/RF systems perform better than the FSO systems in an uplink scenario due to the backup RF link, and the performance is investigated using analytical and simulation results.

TL;DR: The proposed algorithms for the joint recognition of the type of FEC codes and interleaver parameters without knowing any information about the channel encoder classify the incoming data symbols among block coded, convolutional coded, and uncoded symbols and suggest analytical and histogram approaches for setting the threshold value to perform code classification and parameter estimation.

TL;DR: The theoretical results, which are validated by Monte Carlo simulations, show that the proposed switching scheme for a cooperative hybrid FSO/RF system drastically improves the performance compared to that of a single-hop (SH) switching-based hybrid F SO/RF and cooperative FSO systems.

TL;DR: The theoretical results show that the proposed cooperative decode-and-forward (DF)-relaying-based hybrid FSO/RF system drastically improves the system performance compared to single hop (SH) hybrid F SO/RF and cooperative FSO systems especially for large pointing errors scenario.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid FSO/RF communication between ground station (GS) and satellite, where the RF link will act as a backup link to improve the reliability of FSO communication, is considered.
