Abstract
The rising demand for channel bandwidth as a result of drastic rise in the number of mobile users and high-bandwidth
utilizing applications has congested the traditional networks. Free space optics (FSO) links guarantee to offer huge
bandwidth for various types of present 5G wireless networks to share massive amount of data at high transmission rates for
multiple users. In this work, a 2 10 Gbps mode division multiplexing (MDM)-FSO transmission system has been suggested
and investigated. The performance of the proposed link is compared for distinct Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes and Donut
Transverse (DT) modes. Further, the link is investigated under the impact of different weather conditions i.e. clear, light fog,
moderate fog, and heavy fog. The results illustrate that DT modes perform better than HG modes under all weather
conditions and are more suitable for realizing long-reach FSO links. The proposed system can suitably meet the demands
of high channel-bandwidth in backhaul and front-haul links in future 5G services.
