Several optimization problems in satellite optical communications: Models and solutions

In this paper, we address several optimization problems in satellite optical communications. We show that the inter-satellite links with swaying transmitters can be described as an equivalent fading model. We further indicate that the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio follows the reciprocal Pareto distribution. Then we conduct the analysis on several performance metrics such as the first and second moments of signal-to-noise ratio, the amount of fading, as well as the outage probability. Based on these metrics, we establish optimization models and provide the corresponding solutions.
