Passive optical fast frequency-hop CDMA communications system

This paper proposes an all-fiber fast optical frequency-hop code division multiple access (FFH-CDMA) for high-bandwidth communications. The system does not require an optical frequency synthesizer allowing high communication bit rates. Encoding and decoding are passively achieved by Bragg gratings, Multiple Bragg gratings replace a frequency synthesizer, achieving a hopping rate in tens of GHz. A main lobe sine apodization can be used in writing the gratings to enhance the system capacity and the spectrum efficiency. All network users can use the same tunable encoder/decoder design. The simultaneous utilization of the time and frequency domains offers notable flexibility in code selection. Simulations show that the encoder efficiently performs the FFH spread spectrum signal generation and that the receiver easily extracts the desired signal from a received signal for several multiple access interference scenarios. We measure the system performance in terms of bit error rate, as well as auto-to cross-correlation contrast. A transmission rate of 500 Mb/s per user is supported in a system with up to 30 simultaneous users at 10^-9 bit error rate. We compare FFH-CDMA to several direct sequence-CDMA systems in terms of bit error rate versus the number of simultaneous users. We show that an optical FFH-CDMA system requires new design criteria for code families, as optical device technology differs significantly from that of radio frequency communications     

基于人工鱼群的中继卫星多用户检测方法

随着航天技术的发展,未来的中继卫星系统需要为多个用户航天器提供码分多址通信服务。因此需要采用多用户检测技术来抑制多个用户航天器信号之间的多址干扰。文中将人工鱼群优化算法引入到中继卫星系统多用户检测中,通过模拟人工鱼群觅食过程中的觅食行为、聚集行为以及尾随行为,利用人工鱼群的迭代优化,实现多址干扰的最小化。为加快人工鱼群算法的收敛速度,文中将解相关多用户检测的结果作为人工鱼群算法的迭代初值。结果表明,基于人工鱼群算法的多用户检测方法误码率在信噪比为10 dB时可以达到10 ^-6数量级,在误码率、远近效应以及用户容量等方面的性能优于传统的多用户检测方法。     

Performance comparison of multi-user chaos-based DS-CDMA synchronisation unit within AWGN and Rayleigh fading channel

The performance of a multi-user chaos-based direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) communication system with a sequence synchronisation unit incorporated is examined. Synchronisation is achieved through code acquisition and maintained through the code tracking phase. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in a Rayleigh fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise and interuser interference. Results are compared to a fade-free channel. It is shown that, although the system is robust to the influence of noise and interuser interferences, it fails to satisfy the maximum allowable bit error rate limit of 10^-3 in the Rayleigh fading channel.     

基于三级调制的多带OFDM-UWB多址算法

Path diversity for FFH/PSK spread-spectrum communication systems

A fast frequency hopping (FFH) method which uses path-diversity combining is proposed. Diversity techniques are realized when a signal is received from diverse independent paths, each of which carries identical information but suffers from independent fading variations. The improvement of communication performance of FFH systems is possible as the delayed paths are used and path-diversity combination is realized. The advantages of this method, operating in Rayleigh fading channels are confirmed by theoretical analyses. The improvement is in order of 2~3 dB at bit error rate (BER) of 10^-3. This method can be also effective against interferences from other users in a code division multiple access (CDMA) environment. The performance of this system in a CDMA environment is evaluated by theoretical analyses and is shown to be superior to non-combining method. At BER of 10^-3 the required E_b/N₀ of the proposed system is 5 dB lower. If E_b/N_o is fixed, a greater number of users can be accommodated using the proposed system     

Performance of ultrawideband SSMA using time hopping and M-ary PPM

Wireless spread spectrum multiple access (SSMA) using time hopping and block waveform encoded (M-ary) pulse position modulated (PPM) signals is analyzed. For different M-ary PPM signal designs, the multiple-access performance in free-space propagation renditions is analyzed in terms of the number of users supported by the system for a given bit error rate, signal-to-noise ratio, bit transmission rate, and number of signals in the M-ary set. The processing gain and number of simultaneous users are described in terms of system parameters. Tradeoffs between performance and receiver complexity are discussed. Upper bounds on both the maximum number of users and the total combined bit transmission rate are investigated. This analysis is applied to ultrawideband impulse radio modulation. In this modulation, the communications waveforms are practically realized using subnanosecond impulse technology. A numerical example is given that shows that impulse radio modulation is theoretically able to provide multiple-access communications with a combined transmission capacity of hundreds of megabits per second at bit error rates in the range 10^-4 to 10^-7 using receivers of moderate complexity     

Adaptive mobile spot diffusing angle diversity MC-CDMA optical wireless system in a real indoor environment

In this paper, we introduce a mobile optical wireless (OW) multicarrier - code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system that employs a new adaptive line strip multibeam system (ALSMS) with diversity detection. Our results indicate that a significant improvement in the bit error rate (BER) can be obtained in the presence of very directive noise, multipath propagation and shadowing typical in a real indoor environment. With transmitter and/or receiver mobility, ALSMS can improve the BER performance by almost 10^-5 with 2 active users, and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by more than 13 dB compared to the unadaptive LSMS.

Empirical capacity of mmWave WLANS

The 60 GHz spectrum gives us the opportunity to deliver gigabit rates to users in a WLAN (wireless local area network) setting. The constrained propagation of signals at this frequency band ensures limited coverage which in turn enables the construction of very efficient STDMA (spatial time division multiple access) schedules. In this paper we study the achievable aggregate capacity in a room when using two types of smart antenna arrays - linear and circular. Using detailed Matlab simulations, we show that with just 400 MHz of the spectrum, aggregate data rates of 9 Gbps (4.5 Gbps) can be achieved with linear (circular) arrays. We also study the energy efficiency of the communication and show that the energy/bit is as low as 0.2 times 10^-10 (0.2 times 10^-9)Joules/Bit by using variable transmit powers at different parts of the room. Finally, we study the problem of coverage due to blocking of the LoS (line of sight) path. To mitigate this problem we study the use of static reflectors and show that coverage in the entire room can indeed be maintained.     

Development of an Error-Correction Method for Data Packet Multiplexed with TV Signals

By using the vertical blanking period of television signals, it is possible to transmit coded data such as teletext, telesoftware, music, etc. However, the quality of data transmission on television transmission channels is very poor and a powerful error-correction code is required to reliably transmit coded data. From the results of simulations using error pattern data collected in field tests and the comparison of various error-correction codes under many conditions, it has been determined that the shortened (272, 190) majority-logic decodable difference-set cyclic code is a suitable code for NTSC TV signals. By using error-correction codes proposed to date for teletext, it has been difficult to obtain a page error rate (PER) of 10^-1in many measurement points. However, PER's of less than 10^-2can be obtained in this system, even when random noise, ghost interference, or waveform distortion are present and bit error rates (BER's) are 10^-2. This paper also gives an empirical equation according to the error data and shows that the error-correction capability increased equivalently up to 11 error-bits in a packet by modifying the decoding algorithm.     

Analysis of infrared wireless links employing multibeamtransmitters and imaging diversity receivers

We analyze the improvements obtained in wireless infrared (IR) communication links when one replaces traditional single-element receivers by imaging receivers and diffuse transmitters by multibeam (quasi-diffuse) transmitters. This paper addresses both line-of-sight (LOS) and nonline-of-sight (non-LOS) IR links. We quantify link performance in terms of the transmitter power required to achieve a bit error rate (BER) not exceeding 10^-9 with 95% probability. Our results indicate that in LOS links, imaging receivers can reduce the required transmitter power by up to 13 dB compared to single-element receivers. In non-LOS links, imaging receivers and multibeam transmitters can reduce the required transmitter power by more than 20 dB. Furthermore we discuss the use of multibeam transmitters and imaging receivers to implement space-division multiple access (SDMA). In a representative example with two users transmitting at a power sufficient to achieve a BER not exceeding 10^-9 with 95% probability in the absence of cochannel interference, when SDMA is employed, the system can achieve a BER not exceeding 10^-9 with a probability of about 88%     

Spread-space holographic CDMA technique: basic analysis andapplications

We analyze the basic principles of the spread-space holographic code division multiple access (CDMA) technique. We describe the structure of the encoder and decoder and present a basic mathematical analysis based on spatial harmonic decomposition for the receiver's processing module, which is comprised of a Fourier transform lens and a holographic matched filter. Subsequently, we study two applications of optical holographic CDMA, namely, free-space holographic CDMA photonic switch and free-space (wireless) multiaccess optical (infrared) indoor communications. For both techniques, we describe the two-dimensional imaging techniques, namely user's code transmission, and highlight the basic parameters and components that need to be optimized. To obtain the bit-error rate (BER) of the proposed application, we first evaluate the probability density function of multiuser interference and then evaluate the BER as a function of the processing gain, number of users, the received power, and the optimum threshold. For BER ≈ 10^-9, the result shows an extraordinary number of users that can be supported via holographic CDMA, for both applications     

Performance of UWB SSMA using orthogonal PPM-TH over dense multipath channels

In this work we study ultra wideband (UWB) communications over dense multipath channels using orthogonal pulse position modulation (PPM) for data modulation and time-hopping (TH) for code modulation. We consider the effects of the multiple access interference (MUI) in asynchronous spread spectrum multiple access (SSMA) based on random TH codes. We use a realistic multipath channel to analyze the effects of the transmission rate in the number of users for different bit error rate (BER) values.     

Comparison of novel coding techniques for a fixed wavelength hopping SAC-OCDMA

The optical code division multiple access (OCDMA), the most advanced multiple access technology in optical communication has become significant and gaining popularity because of its asynchronous access capability, faster speed, efficiency, security and unlimited bandwidth. Many codes are developed in spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) with zero or minimum cross-correlation properties to reduce the multiple access interference (MAI) and Phase Induced Intensity Noise (PIIN). This paper compares two novel SAC-OCDMA codes in terms of their performances such as bit error rate (BER), number of active users that is accommodated with minimum cross-correlation property, high data rate that is achievable and the minimum power that the OCDMA system supports to achieve a minimum BER value. One of the proposed novel codes referred in this work as modified random diagonal code (MRDC) possesses cross-correlation between zero to one and the second novel code referred in this work as modified new zero cross-correlation code (MNZCC) possesses cross-correlation zero to further minimize the multiple access interference, which are found to be more scalable compared to the other existing SAC-OCDMA codes. In this work, the proposed MRDC and MNZCC codes are implemented in an optical system using the optisystem version-12 software for the SAC-OCDMA scheme. Simulation results depict that the OCDMA system based on the proposed novel MNZCC code exhibits better performance compared to the MRDC code and former existing SAC-OCDMA codes. The proposed MNZCC code accommodates maximum number of simultaneous users with higher data rate transmission, lower BER and longer traveling distance without any signal quality degradation as compared to the former existing SAC-OCDMA codes.     

Power domain cyclic spread multiple access: An interference‐resistant mixed NOMA strategy

The next generation wireless access technology highly relies on nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique. This paper proposes a novel power domain cyclic spread multiple access (PDCSMA) scheme for the design of NOMA system with power domain superposition coding (SC) and cyclic spreading at the transmitter concurrent with symbol level successive interference cancellation (SL‐SIC) at the receiver. Based on acceptable difference in channel gain, the users are grouped together to form PDCSMA clusters, and the unique power is allotted to each user in a cluster. The user with good channel condition is allotted less power, and the user with poor channel condition is allotted more power. Each PDCSMA cluster has its own spreading code, and the data of every user in a cluster are cyclic spread with the same code. Each cluster supports the number of multipath components equivalent to the length of the spreading code. The use of cyclic spreading makes the signal suffered by multipath fading less prone to intra cluster interference. The user signal is decoded by minimum mean square error‐frequency domain equalization (MMSE‐FDE) or maximal ratio combining (MRC)–based receiver in which weak user is detected with hard decision, and strong user is detected with SIC. Compared with conventional power domain NOMA (PDNOMA) and interleaved NOMA, the proposed PDCSMA achieves better bit error rate (BER) performance and assures guaranteed detection.
