Title: Adaptive free space communication systems
Abstract: 
Spectrum of radio frequency (RF) communications is limited and expensive to install new applications. Free space optical (FSO) communication is a viable technology which offers enormous bandwidth, license free installation, inexpensive deployment and error prone links. The FSO links degrade significantly due to the varying atmospheric and weather conditions (fog, cloud, snow, haze and combination of these). We are moving towards hybrid FSO/RF communication system which adapts the varying nature of atmosphere and weather. For the adaption of varying atmosphere and weather scenarios, we are developing a novel optimisation algorithm. We are working on: Adaptive Transmission techniques, Channel Codes, and Multi-user environment.
