ABSTRACT
Wireless optical nodes with mobility capabilities (mobile free space optics [FSO]) have emerged as a way to overcome
limitations inherent in FSO links, for example, transmitter­receiver restrictive alignment requirement. This paper proposes
the use of an angular diversity model for characterizing the performance of mobile FSO over atmospheric turbulence, and
transmitter­receiver misalignment switch-and-examine combining technique is suggested for a diversity combining under
