Buffer-Aided Relaying Protocols for Cooperative FSO Communications

In this paper, we consider the problem of relay-assisted free space optical (FSO) communications in the case where the relays are equipped with buffers of finite size. The high directivity of the FSO links clearly distinguishes cooperative FSO networks from their radio frequency (RF) counterparts th...
