Bayesian and Frequentist Estimation of the Average Capacity of Log Normal Wireless Optical Channels

We investigate the average (ergodic) capacity of practical free-space optical communication channels using the frequentist and the Bayesian approach. We concentrate on the cases of weak and moderate atmospheric turbulence leading to channels modeled by Log-Normal distributed intensity fading and der...

Summary:We investigate the average (ergodic) capacity of practical free-space optical communication channels using the frequentist and the Bayesian approach. We concentrate on the cases of weak and moderate atmospheric turbulence leading to channels modeled by Log-Normal distributed intensity fading and derive closed-form expressions and estimation procedures for their achievable capacity and the important parameters of interest. Each methodology is reviewed in terms of their analytic convenience and their accuracy is also discussed.
