On Achievable Rates for Long-Haul Fiber-Optic Communications
Lower bounds on mutual information (MI) of long-haul optical fiber systems
for hard-decision and soft-decision decoding are studied. Ready-to-use
expressions to calculate the MI are presented. Extensive numerical simulations
are used to quantify how changes in the optical transmitter, receiver, and
channel affect the achievable transmission rates of the system. Special
emphasis is put to the use of different quadrature amplitude modulation
formats, channel spacings, digital back-propagation schemes and probabilistic
shaping. The advantages of using MI over the prevailing -factor as a figure
of merit of coded optical systems are also highlighted.Comment: Hard decision mutual information analysis added, two typos correcte
Efficient detection and signal parameter estimation with applications to high dynamic GPS receivers
A novel technique for simultaneously detecting data and estimating the parameters of a received carrier signal phase modulated by unknown data and experiencing very high Doppler, Doppler rate, etc. is discussed. Such a situation arises, for example, in the case of Global Positioning Systems (DPS) where the signal parameters are directly related to the position, velocity and acceleration of the GPS receiver. The proposed scheme is based upon first estimating the received signal local (data dependent) parameters over two consecutive bit periods, followed by the detection of a possible jump in these parameters. The presence of a detected jump signifies a data transition which is then removed from the received signal. This effectively demodulated signal is then processed to provide the estimates of global (data independent) parameters of the signal related to the position, velocity, etc. of the receiver. One of the key features of the proposed algorithm is the introduction of two different schemes which can provide an improvement of up to 3 dB over the conventional implementation of Kalman filter as applied to phase and frequency estimation, under low to medium signal-to-noise ratio conditions

Energy-Efficient Power Control in Impulse Radio UWB Wireless Networks
In this paper, a game-theoretic model for studying power control for wireless
data networks in frequency-selective multipath environments is analyzed. The
uplink of an impulse-radio ultrawideband system is considered. The effects of
self-interference and multiple-access interference on the performance of
generic Rake receivers are investigated for synchronous systems. Focusing on
energy efficiency, a noncooperative game is proposed in which users in the
network are allowed to choose their transmit powers to maximize their own
utilities, and the Nash equilibrium for the proposed game is derived. It is
shown that, due to the frequency selective multipath, the noncooperative
solution is achieved at different signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios,
depending on the channel realization and the type of Rake receiver employed. A
large-system analysis is performed to derive explicit expressions for the
achieved utilities. The Pareto-optimal (cooperative) solution is also discussed
and compared with the noncooperative approach.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing
