However, a number of factors like laser phase jitter, power fading and beam

scintillation
induced by FSO channels have a great impact on communication quality [9–11] and
increase
the difficulty of FSO network construction. Many methods have been proposed to
overcome
these problems. Mathematic distribution models such as Gamma-Gamma fading channel
[12,13], Log-Normal fading channel [14,15], and Weibull fading channel [16,17],
have been
set up to research the atmospheric channels. It’s worth noting that it is difficult
to optimize
the performance of FSO communication due to the stochastic distribution of
atmospheric
turbulence [18]. Forwarding relays, for example mixed Radio Frequency (RF)/FSO
relay
[19], Amplifier Forwarding (AF) relay [20], Decode and Forward (DF) relay [21],
combined
with atmospheric channel analysis, are regarded as other schemes to enhance the
effective
communication distance. In [22], Tian et al proposed the multi-hop parallel DF-
based FSO
relay system and also proved theoretically that the performance can be improved
effectively
by the max-min criterion and the increasing number of paths with consideration of
GammaGamma distribution. However, this scheme is hard to be applied in the future
in large
capacity FSO network construction because of its signal delay, large power
consumption of
relay, bandwidth limitation and high system complexity. In the real application
scenario, oneto-many broadcasting transmission in FSO communication can effectively
reduce the times
that the same signals enter the atmospheric channels. Generally, mixing RF and FSO
system,
which limits signal bandwidth and is insecure, is to convert optical signal to
radio frequency
signal and transmit to users [23]. So far, no effective, low-consumption, safe and
channelized
method to realize one-to-many channels broadcasting transmission for FSO
communication
has been proposed.
