Abstract
Conference Title: 2017 Opto-Electronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and Photonics Global Conference (PGC) Conference Start Date: 2017, July 31 Conference End Date: 2017, Aug. 4 Conference Location: Singapore, Singapore Recent advances in underwater wireless optical communications necessitate a better understanding of the underwater channel. We propose the Weibull model to characterize the fading of salinity induced turbulent underwater wireless optical channels. The model shows an excellent agreement with the measured data under all channel conditions.
