The optical wireless communication systems are rapidly gaining popularity as effective means of transferring data at high rates over short distances. These systems facilitate rapidly deployable, lightweight, high-capacity communication without licensing fees and tariffs. Nevertheless, the performance of this new technology depends strongly on the atmospheric conditions and the characteristics of the link. In this work, we study the influence of these parameters on both the average (ergodic) capacity and the outage capacity of optical wireless communication systems over weak to moderate turbulence channels modeled by the log normal distribution. Moreover, we derive closed-form mathematical expressions for the estimation of both, average and outage capacity.
