Adaptive Subcarrier PSK Intensity Modulation in Free Space Optical Systems
We propose an adaptive transmission technique for free space optical (FSO)
systems, operating in atmospheric turbulence and employing subcarrier phase
shift keying (S-PSK) intensity modulation. Exploiting the constant envelope
characteristics of S-PSK, the proposed technique offers efficient utilization
of the FSO channel capacity by adapting the modulation order of S-PSK,
according to the instantaneous state of turbulence induced fading and a
pre-defined bit error rate (BER) requirement. Novel expressions for the
spectral efficiency and average BER of the proposed adaptive FSO system are
presented and performance investigations under various turbulence conditions
and target BER requirements are carried out. Numerical results indicate that
significant spectral efficiency gains are offered without increasing the
transmitted average optical power or sacrificing BER requirements, in
moderate-to-strong turbulence conditions. Furthermore, the proposed variable
rate transmission technique is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO)
FSO systems, providing additional improvement in the achieved spectral
efficiency as the number of the transmit and/or receive apertures increases.Comment: Submitted To IEEE Transactions On Communication
Coherent optical binary polarisation shift keying heterodyne system in the free-space optical turbulence channel
In this paper, analytical and simulation results for the bit error rate (BER) performance and fading penalty of a coherent optical binary polarization shift keying (2PolSK) heterodyne system adopted for a free space optical (FSO) communication link modeled as the log-normal and the negative exponential atmospheric turbulence channels are presented. The conditional and unconditional BER expressions are derived, demonstrating the comprehensive similarity between the 2PolSK and the binary frequency shift keying (2FSK) schemes with regards to the system sensitivity. The power penalty due to the non-ideal polarization beam splitter (PBS) is also analyzed. The receiver sensitivity employing 2PolSK is compared with other modulation schemes in the presence of turbulence and the phase noise. The results show that 2PolSK offers improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance compared to the binary amplitude shift keying (2ASK)
Directional Modulation via Symbol-Level Precoding: A Way to Enhance Security
Wireless communication provides a wide coverage at the cost of exposing
information to unintended users. As an information-theoretic paradigm, secrecy
rate derives bounds for secure transmission when the channel to the
eavesdropper is known. However, such bounds are shown to be restrictive in
practice and may require exploitation of specialized coding schemes. In this
paper, we employ the concept of directional modulation and follow a signal
processing approach to enhance the security of multi-user MIMO communication
systems when a multi-antenna eavesdropper is present. Enhancing the security is
accomplished by increasing the symbol error rate at the eavesdropper. Unlike
the information-theoretic secrecy rate paradigm, we assume that the legitimate
transmitter is not aware of its channel to the eavesdropper, which is a more
realistic assumption. We examine the applicability of MIMO receiving algorithms
at the eavesdropper. Using the channel knowledge and the intended symbols for
the users, we design security enhancing symbol-level precoders for different
transmitter and eavesdropper antenna configurations. We transform each design
problem to a linearly constrained quadratic program and propose two solutions,
namely the iterative algorithm and one based on non-negative least squares, at
each scenario for a computationally-efficient modulation. Simulation results
verify the analysis and show that the designed precoders outperform the
benchmark scheme in terms of both power efficiency and security enhancement.Comment: This manuscript is submitted to IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in

Method of Non-Data-Aided Carrier Recovery with Modulation Identification
A non-data aided carrier recovery technique using digital modulation format identification called multi-mode PLL (Phase Locked Loop) is proposed. This technique can be interpreted as a modulation identification method that is robust against static phase and frequency offsets. The performance of the proposed technique is studied and the analytical expressions are derived for the probability of lock detection, acquisition time over AWGN channel in the cases of M-PSK and M-QAM modulations with respect to frequency offset and signal-to-noise ratio
Distributed Space Time Coding for Wireless Two-way Relaying
We consider the wireless two-way relay channel, in which two-way data
transfer takes place between the end nodes with the help of a relay. For the
Denoise-And-Forward (DNF) protocol, it was shown by Koike-Akino et. al. that
adaptively changing the network coding map used at the relay greatly reduces
the impact of Multiple Access interference at the relay. The harmful effect of
the deep channel fade conditions can be effectively mitigated by proper choice
of these network coding maps at the relay. Alternatively, in this paper we
propose a Distributed Space Time Coding (DSTC) scheme, which effectively
removes most of the deep fade channel conditions at the transmitting nodes
itself without any CSIT and without any need to adaptively change the network
coding map used at the relay. It is shown that the deep fades occur when the
channel fade coefficient vector falls in a finite number of vector subspaces of
, which are referred to as the singular fade subspaces. DSTC
design criterion referred to as the \textit{singularity minimization criterion}
under which the number of such vector subspaces are minimized is obtained.
Also, a criterion to maximize the coding gain of the DSTC is obtained. Explicit
low decoding complexity DSTC designs which satisfy the singularity minimization
criterion and maximize the coding gain for QAM and PSK signal sets are
provided. Simulation results show that at high Signal to Noise Ratio, the DSTC
scheme provides large gains when compared to the conventional Exclusive OR
network code and performs slightly better than the adaptive network coding
scheme proposed by Koike-Akino et. al.Comment: 27 pages, 4 figures, A mistake in the proof of Proposition 3 given in
