Abstract: Disclosed is a drone-assisted and non-drone assisted NLoS-FSOC network and method for high-speed communications in disaster-struck areas or where there is little or no communications. NLoS-FSOC uses a diffuse reflector that is in LoS of a transmitter and receiver for establishing a broadcast optical channel. NLoS-FSOC establishes uplink and downlink transmissions. The present disclosure services at least 130% more stations and provides at least 100% more aggregated downlink data rates than drone-assisted than RF-based schemes. It also consumes 116 times less energy compared to RF-based schemes by using high-bandwidth optical signals and coherent light of laser light in NLoS-FSOC, optical broadcast channel use, and drone or non-drone front-haul diffuse reflection placement. The present disclosure is used autonomously or in combination with other systems such as RF schemes for a more robust solution to RF schemes alone.
