Overview

This work presents a novel self-adaptive retroreflective free-space optical (Retro-FSO) communication system designed for high-speed air-to-ground connectivity. The system addresses the challenges of maintaining stable optical links between moving aerial platforms and ground stations.

Key Contributions

  • Self-Adaptive Design: Automatic alignment and tracking for mobile platforms
  • Retroreflective Technology: Enhanced link reliability and reduced complexity
  • Air-to-Ground Focus: Optimized for aerial vehicle communication scenarios
  • High-Speed Communication: Enables fast data transfer in challenging environments
