An Integral Model of Two-Order and Three-Order Scattering for Non-Line-of-Sight Ultraviolet Communication in a Narrow Beam Case

Abstract
The study on multiple scattering propagation of non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication is based on the stochastic Monte Carlo method in the previous studies. In this letter, an integral model of two-order and three-order scattering is deduced in a narrow beam case. A prolate-spheroidal coordinates system and an isotropic scattering hypothesis are used to simplify the three-order scattering model. Compared with the Monte Carlo method, the computational efficiency and the stability of proposed model are much better and do not decrease with the increase of the communication range. This letter provides a new way to obtain the path loss of multiple scattering in long communication ranges.
