| Popis: | In this letter, we analytically evaluate the end-to-end bit error rate (BER) of point-to-point multi-hop underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems with respect to all degrading effects of the UWOC channel, namely absorption, scattering, and turbulence-induced fading. To do so, we first derive the BER expression of a single-hop UWOC link as the building block for end-to-end BER evaluation. We also apply Gauss–Hermite quadrature formula to obtain the closed-form solution for the system BER in the case of lognormal underwater fading channel. Numerical results demonstrate that multi-hop transmission, by alleviating channel impairments, can significantly improve the system performance and extend the viable end-to-end communication distance. |
