A case study for 5G/6G network free space optical (FSO) links affected by fog is reported. Twenty years of visibility data for some major cities of Pakistan were acquired from the Pakistan Meteorological Department. The visibility data consists of three daily measurements collected at 05:00, 08:00, and 17:00 Pakistan standard time (PKT). The data are used to calculate the availability of a 1550 nm FSO link, for each city. Results highlight large differences among the six locations, due to the different climatic conditions. Lahore has the worst performance: in that case, an FSO backhaul link shorter than 150 m would achieve an availability of 99.5%. Whereas, Peshawar has the best performance for the said availability.

Abstract
A case study for 5G/6G network free space optical (FSO) links affected by fog is reported. Twenty years of visibility data for some major cities of Pakistan were acquired from the Pakistan Meteorological Department. The visibility data consists of three daily measurements collected at 05:00, 08:00, and 17:00 Pakistan standard time (PKT). The data are used to calculate the availability of a 1550 nm FSO link, for each city. Results highlight large differences among the six locations, due to the different climatic conditions. Lahore has the worst performance: in that case, an FSO backhaul link shorter than 150 m would achieve an availability of 99.5%. Whereas, Peshawar has the best performance for the said availability.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
