Abstract
The performance of underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system is significantly affected by the air bubbles
present in the water. Due to the random interaction of different sized air bubbles with the propagating beam, the received
signal gets deviated from the weighted centroid and shows random variations. A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is
proposed to estimate these variations. Moreover, to check the feasibility of the proposed model Goodness of Fit (GoF) test
is performed which provides excellent results. Additionally, the experimental and theoretical outage probabilities are
compared which shows close agreement and hence, verifies the precision of the proposed mode.
