Abstract

The influence of anisotropic weak-to-strong oceanic turbulence on the performance of underwater optical communication (UWOC) systems is investigated in this paper. The Málaga distribution fading model is used to model the statistical distribution of a spherical wave propagating through anisotropic oceanic turbulence, which is a versatile model of weak-to-strong turbulence. First, the scintillation index for a spherical wave propagating in oceanic turbulence is formulated, and closed-form expressions for the outage probability and average channel capacity of the UWOC systems are then proposed in terms of Meijer’s G function. The simulation results demonstrate that both the outage probability and the average channel capacity strongly depend on the parameters of oceanic turbulence, such as the ratio of temperature to the contribution of salinity to the refractive index spectrum, the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, and the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature; they are also related to system parameters such as wavelength and aperture diameter. Numerical results are provided to verify the accuracy of our proposed expressions for outage probability and average channel capacity, and perfect agreement is observed.
