Abstract:To study the performance of various error-control coding schemes, exact expressions and upper bounds on the pariwise codeword error probability (PEP) for several modulation schemes (OOK, SC-BPSK, BP-PM) used in atmospheric optical communication systems are derived. to simplify the computation, this research was under the assumption of weak turbulence. Moreover, by simulation of expressions, the performances of PEP in different modulation schemes are compared and the best one of them is given.
