Abstract
In this paper, the performance of a mixed dual hop asymmetric radio frequency andfree space optical (RF-FSO) communication link is investigated. A closed form analytical expression for evaluating outage probability of mixed RF-FSO link is obtained. The source to relay link is RF link modelled using Nakagami-m fading. The relay to destination link is an FSO link subjected to atmospheric turbulence, modelled using K-distribution. Decode-and-Forward (DF) relaying protocol is used. Further, the effect of pointing error on the performance of the link is analysed using obtained closed form expression. It has been observed that increase in the pointing error leads to reduction in outage performance of the link.
