Abstract
The mathematical model of a high-speed hybrid communication system based on free-space optical (FSO) and radio-frequency (RF) technologies is considered. Multimedia information is transmitted using two communication lines operating in the hot redundancy mode, namely, an FSO channel and a millimeter radio-frequency channel. In addition, we derive ergodicity conditions for the Markov process describing the system operation and provide some performance characteristics for the hybrid communication channel.
