Review of coded modulation free space optical communication system
This paper presents a constructive discussion and inclusive review on advancements in the coded modulation free space optical (FSO) communication system and corresponding techniques. These techniques mainly include channel model, forward error correction (FEC) and modulation schemes. Firstly, a complete view of FSO system is presented which contains the description, the current research situation along with the advantages over the traditional radio frequency (RF) wireless communication and fiber optical communications. Then, the channel model, FEC, modulation schemes and complete system of coded modulation FSO are analyzed successively. At last, the review work of coded modulation FSO system is summarized and further improvements are prospected.
