dc.description.abstract	In this work, we investigate the cooperative diversity technique as a candidate solution for combating turbulence-induced fading over Free-Space Optical (FSO) links. In particular, a one-relay cooperative diversity scheme is proposed and analyzed for noncoherent FSO communications with intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD). The error performance of this diversity scheme is derived in semi-analytical and closedform expressions in the presence and absence of background radiation, respectively. Results show the enhanced diversity orders that can be achieved over both Rayleigh and lognormal fading models.	en_US
