Outage Probability Analysis of Triple-Hybrid RF/FSO/THz Communication System

Terahertz (THz) and free space optical (FSO) transmission techniques are considered as alternatives for radio frequency (RF) transmission to meet the requirements for the sixth generation and beyond wireless communication systems. However, these transmission techniques may experience high level of deterioration under different weather conditions. In this study, triple-hybrid RF/FSO/THz system is proposed to enhance the system performance. The results have shown that the proposed system has improved outage probability performance under wide range weather conditions compared to only RF, only FSO, and only THz systems as well as dual-hybrid systems (RF/FSO, RF/THz, and FSO/THz). Theoretical results are validated via computer simulations.
