Parameter optimization for hovering multi-rotor drones-based free-space optical links. Applied Nanoscience, 1-9.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12939/2260Multi-rotor (MR) Drones have recently emerged as a viable method for creating fexible free-space optical (FSO) connections. In this study, we look at how precise parameters optimization can be used to evaluate the benefts of using MR Drones for such nanometer links, with consideration of the combined efect of atmospheric turbulence along with pointing error factor hp. The related parameters of hp are the connection distance d and pointing error angle (PEA) θ. In contrast to past studies on the subject, this one increased the connection distance d between drones swarm for high values PEAs that had been got high Bit Error Rate (BER). The system consists of two channels type: Single Input–Single Output (SISO) and Multiple Input–Single Output (MISO), and was simulated using MATLAB 2020. The results showed that for PEA θ=10−3 and 10−2 rad, the connection distance d increased from 5 to 20 percent per one centimeter increasing in the receiver diameter Dr, and for PEA θ=10−1 rad, the connection distance d increased few meters; therefore, it is not recommended to increase the receiver diameter.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHospitalize and HealthcareHovering Multi-RotorHealthcare SystemMulti-rotor (MR)Bit Error RateArticle192-s2.0-85124326180N/AWOS:000750779000056N/A
