Impact of Channel Correlation on Different Performance Metrics of OSSK-Based FSO System
In this paper, we study the impact of correlation on the bit error rate (BER) and the channel capacity of a free-space optical (FSO) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system employing optical space shift keying (OSSK) over a fading channel. In order to study a practical correlated channel, we consider the effect of channel correlation due to both small-and large-scale eddies and show that the use of OSSK over correlated FSO channel can lead to an improved system performance with increasing correlation level of upto 0.9. In this work, we first develop an analytical framework for different performance metrics of the OSSK multiple-input single-output system with correlation and then extend our investigation by proposing an asymptotically accurate mathematical framework for MIMO. We also validate all the analytical results using MATLAB simulations. Finally, we develop an experimental setup of FSO with two correlated links to study the throughput and latency of the links at different turbulence levels
Reliable Communication over Optical Fading Channels
In free space optical communication links,atmospheric turbulence causes random fluctuations in the refractive index of air at optical wavelengths, which in turn cause random fluctuations in the intensity and phase of a propagating optical signal. These intensity fluctuations, termed ``fading,'' can lead to an increase in link error probability, thereby degrading communication performance. Two techniques are suggested to combat the detrimental effects of fading, viz., (a) estimation of channel fade and use of these estimates at the transmitter or receiver; and (b) use of multiple transmitter and receiver elements. In this thesis, we consider several key issues concerning reliable transmission over multiple input multiple output (MIMO) optical fading channels. These include the formulation of a block fading channel model that takes into account the slowly varying nature of optical fade; the determination of channel capacity, viz., the maximum achievable rate of reliable communication, when the receiver has perfect fade information while the transmitter is provided with varying degrees of fade information; characterization of good transmitter power control strategies that achieve capacity; and the capacity in the low and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes.
We consider a shot-noise limited, intensity modulated direct detection optical fading channel model in which the transmitted signals are subject to peak and average power constraints. The fading occurs in blocks of duration (seconds) during each of which the channel fade (or channel state) remains constant, and changes across successive such intervals in an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) manner. A single-letter characterization of the capacity of this channel is obtained when the receiver is provided with perfect channel state information (CSI) while the transmitter CSI can be imperfect. A two-level signaling scheme (``ON-OFF keying'') with arbitrarily fast intertransition times through each of the transmit apertures is shown to achieve channel capacity. Several interesting properties of the optimum transmission strategies for the transmit apertures are discussed. For the special case of a single input single output (SISO) optical fading channel, the behavior of channel capacity in the high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes is explicitly characterized, and the effects of transmitter CSI on capacity are studied
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
MIMO CDMA-based Optical SATCOMs: A New Solution
A new scheme for MIMO CDMA-based optical satellite communications (OSATCOMs)
is presented. Three independent problems are described for up-link and down-
link in terms of two distinguished optimization problems. At first, in up-link,
Pulse-width optimization is proposed to reduce dispersions over fibers as the
terrestrial part. This is performed for return-to-zero (RZ) modulation that is
supposed to be used as an example in here. This is carried out by solving the
first optimization problem, while minimizing the probability of overlapping for
the Gaussian pulses that are used to produce RZ. Some constraints are assumed
such as a threshold for the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In down-link,
the second and the third problems are discussed as follows, jointly as a
closed-form solution. Solving the second optimization problem, an objective
function is obtained, namely the MIMO CDMA-based satellite weight-matrix as a
conventional adaptive beam-former. The Satellite link is stablished over flat
un-correlated Nakagami-m/Suzuki fading channels as the second problem. On the
other hand, the mentioned optimization problem is robustly solved as the third
important problem, while considering inter-cell interferences in the multi-cell
scenario. Robust solution is performed due to the partial knowledge of each
cell from the others in which the link capacity is maximized. Analytical
results are conducted to investigate the merit of system.Comment: IEEE PCITC 2015 (15-17 Oct, India
Cellular Underwater Wireless Optical CDMA Network: Potentials and Challenges
Underwater wireless optical communications is an emerging solution to the
expanding demand for broadband links in oceans and seas. In this paper, a
cellular underwater wireless optical code division multiple-access (UW-OCDMA)
network is proposed to provide broadband links for commercial and military
applications. The optical orthogonal codes (OOC) are employed as signature
codes of underwater mobile users. Fundamental key aspects of the network such
as its backhaul architecture, its potential applications and its design
challenges are presented. In particular, the proposed network is used as
infrastructure of centralized, decentralized and relay-assisted underwater
sensor networks for high-speed real-time monitoring. Furthermore, a promising
underwater localization and positioning scheme based on this cellular network
is presented. Finally, probable design challenges such as cell edge coverage,
blockage avoidance, power control and increasing the network capacity are
addressed.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Design guidelines for spatial modulation
A new class of low-complexity, yet energyefficient Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission techniques, namely the family of Spatial Modulation (SM) aided MIMOs (SM-MIMO) has emerged. These systems are capable of exploiting the spatial dimensions (i.e. the antenna indices) as an additional dimension invoked for transmitting information, apart from the traditional Amplitude and Phase Modulation (APM). SM is capable of efficiently operating in diverse MIMO configurations in the context of future communication systems. It constitutes a promising transmission candidate for large-scale MIMO design and for the indoor optical wireless communication whilst relying on a single-Radio Frequency (RF) chain. Moreover, SM may also be viewed as an entirely new hybrid modulation scheme, which is still in its infancy. This paper aims for providing a general survey of the SM design framework as well as of its intrinsic limits. In particular, we focus our attention on the associated transceiver design, on spatial constellation optimization, on link adaptation techniques, on distributed/ cooperative protocol design issues, and on their meritorious variants
