Abstract
In this Letter, general closed-form expressions for the average
bit error rate in atmospheric optical links employing
rate-adaptive channel coding are derived. To characterize
the irradiance fluctuations caused by atmospheric turbulence,
the Málaga or M distribution is employed. The proposed
expressions allow us to evaluate the performance of atmospheric
optical links employing channel coding schemes such
as OOK-GSc, OOK-GScc, HHH(1,13), or vw-MPPM with
different coding rates and under all regimes of turbulence
strength. A hyper-exponential fitting technique applied to
the conditional bit error rate is used in all cases. The proposed
closed-form expressions are validated by Monte-Carlo
simulations.
