Proposal of Single Sideband Modulation Scheme Using Frequency Domain Filtering
With the rapid development of wireless systems, the demand for frequency resources has been increasing in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the high-quality communication method that efficiently utilizes finite frequency resources. In this paper, Single Sideband 16 Pulse Amplitude Modulation (SSB 16PAM) scheme for the uplink communication is proposed. It transmits data in only Lower Sideband (LSB) without extra Hilbert components. Under Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel environment, Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme is superior by 3 dB in terms of Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) to 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (256QAM) scheme with the same frequency efficiency and the same Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Our proposed scheme employs the original frequency domain filter on the transmitter side to form an ideal spectrum. The configuration of its process is almost similar to Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), moreover, half of the input data on the frequency domain is removed. The proposed frequency domain filter produces the SSBmodulated spectrum with a roll-off rate of zero without degrading the BER performance
Iterative decoding and detection for physical layer network coding
PhD ThesisWireless networks comprising multiple relays are very common and it is
important that all users are able to exchange messages via relays in the
shortest possible time. A promising technique to achieve this is physical
layer network coding (PNC), where the time taken to exchange messages
between users is achieved by exploiting the interference at the relay due
to the multiple incoming signals from the users. At the relay, the interference
is demapped to a binary sequence representing the exclusive-OR of
both users’ messages. The time to exchange messages is reduced because
the relay broadcasts the network coded message to both users, who can
then acquire the desired message by applying the exclusive-OR of their
original message with the network coded message. However, although
PNC can increase throughput it is at the expense of performance degradation
due to errors resulting from the demapping of the interference to
bits.
A number of papers in the literature have investigated PNC with an iterative
channel coding scheme in order to improve performance. However,
in this thesis the performance of PNC is investigated for end-to-end
(E2E) the three most common iterative coding schemes: turbo codes,
low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and trellis bit-interleaved coded
modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID). It is well known that in
most scenarios turbo and LDPC codes perform similarly and can achieve
near-Shannon limit performance, whereas BICM-ID does not perform
quite as well but has a lower complexity. However, the results in this
thesis show that on a two-way relay channel (TWRC) employing PNC,
LDPC codes do not perform well and BICM-ID actually outperforms
them while also performing comparably with turbo codes. Also presented
in this thesis is an extrinsic information transfer (ExIT) chart
analysis of the iterative decoders for each coding scheme, which is used
to explain this surprising result. Another problem arising from the use
of PNC is the transfer of reliable information from the received signal at
the relay to the destination nodes. The demapping of the interference to
binary bits means that reliability information about the received signal
is lost and this results in a significant degradation in performance when
applying soft-decision decoding at the destination nodes. This thesis
proposes the use of traditional angle modulation (frequency modulation
(FM) and phase modulation (PM)) when broadcasting from the relay,
where the real and imaginary parts of the complex received symbols
at the relay modulate the frequency or phase of a carrier signal, while
maintaining a constant envelope. This is important since the complex
received values at the relay are more likely to be centred around zero and
it undesirable to transmit long sequences of low values due to potential
synchronisation problems at the destination nodes. Furthermore, the
complex received values, obtained after angle demodulation, are used to
derive more reliable log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) of the received symbols
at the destination nodes and consequently improve the performance of
the iterative decoders for each coding scheme compared with conventionally
coded PNC.
This thesis makes several important contributions: investigating the performance
of different iterative channel coding schemes combined with
PNC, presenting an analysis of the behaviour of different iterative decoding
algorithms when PNC is employed using ExIT charts, and proposing
the use of angle modulation at the relay to transfer reliable information
to the destination nodes to improve the performance of the iterative decoding
algorithms. The results from this thesis will also be useful for
future research projects in the areas of PNC that are currently being
addressed, such as synchronisation techniques and receiver design.Iraqi Ministry of Higher

Experimental Validations of Bandwidth Compressed Multicarrier Signals
We comprehensively summarize experimental validations 1 of bandwidth compressed multicarrier waveforms for future 5th generation (5G) applications. The proposed waveforms are derived from an existing non-orthogonal multicarrier concept termed spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) where sub-carriers are non-orthogonally packed at frequencies below the symbol rate. This improves the spectral efficiency at the cost of self-created inter carrier interference (ICI). In this work, experiments are reported and testing is carried out in three scenarios including long term evolution (LTE)-like wireless link; millimeter wave radio-over-fiber (RoF) link and optical fiber link. In the first scenario, for a given 25 MHz bandwidth, the SEFDM testbed can provide 70 Mbit/s gross data rate while only 50 Mbit/s can be achieved for an OFDM system occupying the same bandwidth. For the millimeter wave experiment, occupying a 1.125 GHz bandwidth, the gross bit rate for OFDM is 2.25 Gbit/s and with 40% bandwidth compression, 3.75 Gbit/s can be achieved for SEFDM. Two experimental optical fiber links are described in this work; a 10 Gbit/s direct detection optical SEFDM system and a 24 Gbit/s coherent detection SEFDM system. The LTE-like signals and millimeter wave technologies are well suited to provide last mile communications to end users as both can support mobility in wireless environments. The lightwave signals delivered by optical fibers would offer higher data rates and support long-haul communications. The reported techniques, used individually or combined, would be of interest to future wireless system designers, where bandwidth saving is of importance, such as in 5G networks, aiming to provide high capacity and high mobility, simultaneously while saving spectrum

Bandwidth Compressed Waveform and System Design for Wireless and Optical Communications: Theory and Practice
This thesis addresses theoretical and practical challenges of spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) systems in both wireless and optical domains. SEFDM improves spectral efficiency relative to the well-known orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) by non-orthogonally multiplexing overlapped sub-carriers. However, the deliberate violation of orthogonality results in inter carrier interference (ICI) and associated detection complexity, thus posing many challenges to practical implementations. This thesis will present solutions for these issues. The thesis commences with the fundamentals by presenting the existing challenges of SEFDM, which are subsequently solved by proposed transceivers. An iterative detection (ID) detector iteratively removes self-created ICI. Following that, a hybrid ID together with fixed sphere decoding (FSD) shows an optimised performance/complexity trade-off. A complexity reduced Block-SEFDM can subdivide the signal detection into several blocks. Finally, a coded Turbo-SEFDM is proved to be an efficient technique that is compatible with the existing mobile standards. The thesis also reports the design and development of wireless and optical practical systems. In the optical domain, given the same spectral efficiency, a low-order modulation scheme is proved to have a better bit error rate (BER) performance when replacing a higher order one. In the wireless domain, an experimental testbed utilizing the LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation (CA) with SEFDM is operated in a realistic radio frequency (RF) environment. Experimental results show that 40% higher data rate can be achieved without extra spectrum occupation. Additionally, a new waveform, termed Nyquist-SEFDM, which compresses bandwidth and suppresses out-of-band power leakage is investigated. A 4th generation (4G) and 5th generation (5G) coexistence experiment is followed to verify its feasibility. Furthermore, a 60 GHz SEFDM testbed is designed and built in a point-to-point indoor fiber wireless experiment showing 67% data rate improvement compared to OFDM. Finally, to meet the requirements of future networks, two simplified SEFDM transceivers are designed together with application scenarios and experimental verifications
