N2 - In this Letter, closed-form expressions of ergodic capacity, outage probability, and outage rate are derived for
an atmospheric optical communication link using intensity modulation and direct detection with unbounded
optical wavefront propagating through a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent medium. The optical scintillation
of the received signal is modeled with the recently proposed Málaga or M turbulence distribution. By taking
advantage of this unifying statistical model, the expressions here presented are valid for all possible irradiance
fluctuation conditions, leading to direct relationships between turbulence parameters and link capacity
performance.
