This study investigates the performance of a decode-and-forward-relay-based hybrid free space optical (FSO)/radio frequency (RF) system with selection combining. The proposed hybrid system considers an FSO sub-system as a default transmission option and RF sub-system is utilised when FSO is in outag...
