Towards last-mile connectivity in 6G-IoT: An integrated MIMO-FSO communication system and FBG sensors under atmospheric attenuations, strain and temperature effects by R. Arunachalam, Rupali Singh, M. Vinoth Kumar

“…The results are observed for FSO links with the atmospheric attenuations with FBG sensors that reflect the pointing errors at the receiver, showing a comprehensive ability to capture strain and temperature parameters. For the transmission of 10 Gb/s data, it was observed that the inclusion of the Multiple input and multiple-output (MIMO)-FSO technique significantly reduces bit errors from −3.12494 dB to −35.018 dB and increase signal power from 52.4 dBm to 58.9 dBm, indicating the adaptability of this integrated strategy for FSO communication with FBG sensors for last mile connectivity in 6G-IoT applications.…”
