“…Similar to [147], a burst loss model was developed for the cross-layer performance analysis, which can accurately estimate the TCP throughput performance. Figure 17 quantitatively compares the use of different link-layer solutions, including IR-HARQ, pure sliding window ARQ, and no ARQ/FEC, for the throughput performance of TCP Cubic [150]. As expected, the TCP throughput could be significantly enhanced when using IR-HARQ based sliding window protocol, which requires retransmitting only the incremental redundancies for erroneous frames.…”

“…As for the cross-layer PHY/Link, the integration of AR and ARQ/HARQ is the most popular framework in FSO networks [21], [60], [66], [113]. Regarding the crosslayer Link/Transport, most of the studies focused on the joint design of ARQ/HARQ with loss-based TCPs [146]- [150]. A Cross-layer framework incorporating the UAV channel modeling, IR-HARQ, network buffer, and TCP variants summary of these cross-layer frameworks in FSO networks is provided in Table X.…”

“…The benefit of this solution is that a transparent transmission path over wireless links is seen by TCP variants, provided most wireless channel errors can be mitigated by link-layer error control schemes. Driven by that fact, many research efforts have addressed the cross-layer design between linklayer retransmission protocols and TCP variants to improve the TCP throughput performance over the FSO last-mile access [146]- [150]. The typical FSO-based last-mile access networks are illustrated in Fig.…”

“…2) FSO-based Satellite Networks: Link/Transport frameworks for satellite networks have been reported in [149], [150] A cross-layer design framework between link-layer IR-HARQ based sliding window protocol and TCP variants, including NewReno, Cubic and Hybla, was mentioned for the scenario of satellite-assisted Internet of vehicles in [150]. Similar to [147], a burst loss model was developed for the cross-layer performance analysis, which can accurately estimate the TCP throughput performance.…”

“…Another cross-layer framework incorporating the FEC code at PHY, link-layer SR-ARQ, and TCP variants, for satellitebased hybrid FSO/RF vehicular networks was introduced in [149]. Unlike [150], where only the congestion avoidance phase was considered, a complete model taking into account other phases of TCP operation was presented in [149]. In addition, a novel channel-state model was developed considering relatively different coherence times of FSO and RF to facilitate the operation of SR-ARQ, which processes multiple frames simultaneously.…”

Free space optical (FSO) communication has established a reputation for itself capable of delivering high-speed data services over long distances without exhausting radio frequency (RF) resources. FSO communication can be considered in different network scenarios, including inter-satellite/deep-space links, ground-station/vehicles, satellite/aerial links, and terrestrial links. It is expected to be one of the key enabling technologies for the next generation of 6G wireless networks. Nevertheless, despite the great potential of FSO communications, its performance suffers from various limitations and challenges: atmospheric turbulence, clouds, weather conditions, and pointing misalignment. The error-control solutions, including physical layer (PHY) and linklayer methods, aim to mitigate the transmission errors caused by such adverse issues. While the existing surveys on errorcontrol solutions in FSO systems primarily focussed on the PHY methods, we instead provide a review of link-layer solutions. In particular, we conduct an extensive literature survey of state-ofthe-art retransmission protocols, both automatic repeat request (ARQ) and hybrid ARQ (HARQ), for various FSO communication scenarios, including point-to-point terrestrial, cooperative, multi-hop relaying, hybrid FSO/RF, satellite/aerial, and deepspace systems. Furthermore, we provide a survey of recent literature and insightful discussion on the cross-layer design frameworks related to link-layer retransmission protocols in FSO communication networks. Finally, the lessons learned, design guidelines, related open issues, and future research directions are exposed.
