Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is a genetic algorithm framework to explore optimized multi-element free-space optical (FSO) transceiver tiling patterns to ensure maximal signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR). The framework also serves to minimize the effects of vibration of the mobile platform and atmospheric turbulence. With the ever-growing demand for high-speed mobile data, smart free-space optical (FSO) communication is a critical technology due to its significantly faster data transfer rate, higher security, lower costs, and reduced power usage. This invention improves the performance of FSO communication links by multi-element tiling the laser-based transceivers, which is capable of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) communication.
