Reducing Turbulence-Induced Outages in a Deployed Terrestrial Free-Space Optical Communication Link via Interleaving

Published 15 Jun 2026 in physics.optics and cs.IT | (2606.16855v1)

Abstract: We present an experimental study of data interleaving for terrestrial free-space optical communication over a 4.6~km urban testbed. Results demonstrate a two-order-of-magnitude reduction in outage probability. A dependency between measured turbulence strength, interleaver length, and achievable data rate is revealed, enabling robust system design.
