Abstract
Free space optical (FSO) communication systems experience turbulence-induced fading. As a possible solution, adaptive transmission, which adjusts transmitter parameters based on instantaneous channel state information (CSI), can be used. Most of the existing channel estimation methods ignore the impact of detection noise at the receiver, which will lead to additional estimation errors. In this paper, a joint estimation model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed to estimate detection noise and turbulence fading parameters. We obtained turbulence channel simulation data sets considering the background of detection noise based on the edge probability distribution function of the receive signal. The training of the CNN estimator is carried out through maximum pooling, adaptive learning rate, and regularization, ultimately accurately estimating channel characteristics based on the optimal output results of the network. The simulation results show that the proposed CNN joint estimator performs better in high-detection-noise environments compared with traditional maximum likelihood estimators, and it has better generalization ability in different real atmospheric environments.
