| Summary: | The performance of a dual-hop mixed radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) system with co-channel interferences (CCIs) is studied for both fixed-gain and variable-gain amplify-and-forward(AF) relaying scenarios. The RF link and interference link undergo the <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\kappa$</tex-math></inline-formula>-<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu$</tex-math></inline-formula> shadowed fading and the FSO link experiences the Fisher-Snedecor <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathcal F}$</tex-math></inline-formula> distribution with pointing errors. For the considered system, we derive new closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and average bit error rate (BER) of the end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). In addition, efficient numerical expressions for the ergodic capacity are also obtained. Moveover, the asymptotic expressions for the CDF and average BER are derived. Our results can be regarded as a generalization of the previous results. Finally, numerical and simulation results are presented to verify the correctness of the proposed expressions.
