| Abstract | The increase in deployment of various advanced wireless technologies, services, and applications have put significant pressure on the mobile network operators (MNOs) in terms of system requirements such as capacity, quality of service (QoS), and network coverage. In an effort to optimally meet the system requirements, the MNOs are confronted with high total cost of ownership (TCO), however, the associated income is relatively low. In order to address the challenges, MNOs as well as service providers (SPs) have given considerable interest to the small-cell schemes along with the associated advanced centralized and heterogeneous network architectures. This is due to their beneficial qualities regarding system performance optimization and cost-effectiveness. However, achieving the stringent requirements of the fronthaul for connecting the network elements is highly demanding. In this paper, taking into consideration the small-cell network architectures, we present multiuser mixed radio-frequency/free-space optical (RF/FSO) relay schemes as viable means of alleviating the stringent requirements. Furthermore, we study the end-to-end outage performance of the mixed RF/FSO schemes considering the effect of pointing errors in the FSO links. The simulation results portray the feasibility of deployment of the mixed RF/FSO schemes in real-life scenarios. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
