Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures that advantageously provide hybrid free-space optical (FSO)-radio frequency (RF) communication links (HFRCLs) that enable building integrated software-defined network (SDN) infrastructure capable of integrating ultra-high-throughput satellite networks, composite wireless infrastructures, heterogeneous networks (HetNets), hybrid networks, satellite networks, and fiber-optics networks—among others.

Claim (Index 7):
In a communications network comprising a plurality of nodes, said network including hybrid free-space optical (FSO) radio frequency (RF) communications links (HFRCLs) interconnecting the plurality of nodes, an adaptive, energy-efficient hybrid coded modulation technique for the HFRCLs comprising:\n a rate adaptive code (rate-less cod) providing error correction and whose rate is changed according to time-varying channel conditions wherein the rate adaptive code is one selected from the group consisting of: punctured codes wherein the rate is varied by puncturing parity bits such that effective code rate is increased; and fountain code, wherein the rate is changed by increasing codeword length.
