	abstract = {Recently, the Fisher-Snedecor F distribution was proposed to model the turbulence in free-space optical (FSO) communications. However, the existing model does not consider pointing error impairment. To fill this gap, in this letter, we derive novel closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) for irradiance fluctuations in the presence of pointing error impairments. Subsequently, the PDF and CDF of the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are derived and employed to obtain novel closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average bit error rate, and average ergodic capacity. To gain more insight into the impact of system and turbulence channel parameters, simple and accurate asymptotic expressions are further derived. Our analytical results are supported by Monte-Carlo simulations to validate the analysis. {\textcopyright} 1997-2012 IEEE.},
