Performance optimization of free-space optical communication protocols based on results from FSO demonstrations [PDF]
, 2007 The mobile free-space optical channel mainly suffers from relatively long link outages, produced by short-term blockings of the line-of-sight (obstacles, clouds), pointing- and tracking-errors or deep signal-fades caused by index of refraction turbulence

Weighted Inter-frame Averaging-Based Channel Estimation for CO-OFDM System
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2013 We propose an efficient channel estimation method for coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) based on weighted inter-frame averaging (WIFA), in which the channel estimation results of the adjacent frames are averaged to ...
