Abstract
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) atmospheric optical communication between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a ground-based receiver is analyzed The experiments were conducted in nighttime at a wavelength λ = 450 nm with baseline distances up to 150 m and UAV altitudes up to 20 m. It is shown that if the altitude of UAV with a transmitter is 10 m, stable optical communication is possible with the symbol error rate no higher than 0.0002 at baseline distances up to 75 m. If the UAV altitude is 20 m, communication is possible with the symbol error rate of 0.015-0.031 at baseline distances up to 100 m.
