• Connectivity Issues for Ultraviolet UV-C Networks 

      Vavoulas, A.; Sandalidis, H. G.; Varoutas, D. (2011)
      This paper focuses on the connectivity issues of a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) optical wireless network operating in the ultraviolet UV-C spectral region. NLOS UV-C transmitters have a limited effective coverage and, hence, ...
    • Node Isolation Probability for Serial Ultraviolet UV-C Multi-hop Networks 

      Vavoulas, A.; Sandalidis, H. G.; Varoutas, D. (2011)
      Non-line-of-sight optical wireless transmission, operated in the unlicensed ultraviolet UV-C band, has been recently suggested as an alternative means of communication. However, due to limited coverage, relayed UV-C networks ...
    • Underwater Optical Wireless Networks: A k-Connectivity Analysis 

      Vavoulas, A.; Sandalidis, H. G.; Varoutas, D. (2014)
      In this paper, optical wireless has been addressed as a promising technology to provide high-bandwidth services for underwater communications. However, the significant attenuation degree due to high absorption and scattering ...
    • Using a HAP Network to Transfer WiMAX OFDM Signals: Outage Probability Analysis 

      Vaiopoulos, N.; Sandalidis, H. G.; Varoutas, D. (2013)
      Transferring wireless broadband services across extremely far distances on Earth is usually implemented nowadays either by ground-based or satellite communications. Terrestrial networks require, however, heavy installation ...
    • Weather Effects on FSO Network Connectivity 

      Vavoulas, A.; Sandalidis, H. G.; Varoutas, D. (2012)
      The use of relays is one of the most promising methods for mitigating impairments of the performance of free-space optical (FSO) systems and extending their limited transmission range. However, several factors contribute ...
    • WiMAX on FSO: Outage Probability Analysis 

      Vaiopoulos, N.; Sandalidis, H. G.; Varoutas, D. (2012)
      The transmission of multiple wireless signals over optical links has attained a great research interest nowadays. In case where optical fibers are difficult to be deployed, or installation cost is prohibited, optical ...
