Experiment in frequency-shift-keying adjacent-channel interference

The error performance of a frequency-shift-keying system is investigated experimentally in the presence of Gaussian noise and adjacent-channel interference. It has been found that, for a peak-to-peak frequency deviation of 0.7 times the bit rate and a receiver bandwidth of 1.0 times the bit rate, the frequency spacing between channels can be set to about 1.6 times the bit rate without causing an undue amount of performance degradation.     

FSK Bit Synchronization by Combined AM

A bit-synchronization method in a frequency-shift-keying (FSK) data channel has been investigated experimentally and results are presented. The bit-timing information is conveyed by a square wave, with a frequency of half the data bit rate, modulated onto the signal amplitude. It has been shown that for a system using a peak-peak-to-peak frequency deviation of 0.7 times the bit rate and a receiver bandwidth restricted to 1 times the bit rate, the minimum error rates are obtained for an amplitude modulation index of 0.1. Further, in order for the system to have a performance comparable with an ordinary FSK system with the same values of frequency deviation and receiver predetection bandwidth and with perfect timing available at the receiver, an additional signal power of 0.9 dB is needed.     

Performance of Narrow-Band Manchester Coded FSK with Discriminator Detection

Due to the large discrepancies m the published results, the bit error rate (BER) performance of narrow-band Manchestercoded frequency-shift-keyed systems (MCFSK) with discriminator detection is reviewed and new results are presented which agree closely with measurements. It is found that a minimum BER is obtained for a peak-to-peak frequency deviation of about 1.35 times the bit rate and a receiver bandwidth of about 1.8 times the bit rate. The published results are shown to be rather optimistic. A coherent MCFSK demodulator is then shown to perform 3 dB better than discriminator detection. It is further shown that in the range of receiver bandwidths larger than the bit rate, it is sufficient to consider the intersymbol interference effects to have come only from the two bits adjacent to the bit being detected. Finally, if the phase noise components are assumed to be Gaussian distributed, the error probability formulas obtained do not predict the correct error performance.     

Phase-noise-induced performance limits for DPSK modulation with andwithout frequency feedback

The effect of phase noise on the performance of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) is analyzed for four different receiver structures. The phase noise model used is more general than the standard Brownian motion model. It allows the observation of the effect of frequency feedback stabilization on system performance. The asymptotic performance in the limit as the signal-to-noise ratio tends to infinity is considered. The results show that feedback stabilization results in a considerable performance improvement. For example, in a narrowband receiver this scheme results in an effective linewidth reduction by a factor of 12.5 when the feedback bandwidth is 0.8 times the bit rate, and by a factor of 42 when the feedback bandwidth is 1.6 times the bit rate. Therefore, frequency feedback reduces the minimum required data rate for a given laser linewidth, or increases the maximum linewidth allowed for a given data rate. The performance of the narrowband receiver in the presence of both additive and phase noises is determined and a dramatic improvement with feedback is shown     

Effects of Pulse Shaping and Soft Decisions on the Performance of Digital FM with Discriminator Detection

Band-limited digital FM systems employing discriminator detection are analyzed. The error-rate performance of binary FM with premodulation shaping and duobinary FM with the same occupied bandwidth are compared. At bandwidths above 1.1 times the bit rate, it is found that binary FM gives a lower error rate than duobinary FM. For binary FM to meet lower bandwidth requirements, frequency deviation ratios below 0.4 times the bit rate must be used. At these low deviations, binary FM does not perform as well as duobinary FM with the same bandwidth. In addition, if a more complex receiver is used which makes use of Viterbi decoding after the discriminator, the performance can be made better than binary FM even at the larger occupied bandwidths.     

Adaptive Subcarrier Allocation in Synchronous Reverse Links of a Multicarrier CDMA System with Time and Frequency Spreading

Multicarrier code-division multiple access (CDMA) with time and frequency spreading has been recently considered as a candidate for fourth-generation (4G) wireless systems. This signaling scheme simultaneously utilizes code spreading in the time and frequency domains to simultaneously improve frequency diversity and minimize multiuser access interference. As a result, it is capable of outperforming multicarrier CDMA systems that employ 1-D spreading. In this paper, a novel adaptive subcarrier allocation algorithm is developed for multicarrier CDMA with time and frequency spreading to improve the overall bit error rate (BER) performance for all spreading configurations. This algorithm assigns users to subcarrier groups that provide favorable fading characteristics while simultaneously reducing the amount of interference caused to other users. The proposed algorithm is shown to provide a performance improvement, ranging from 1.5 dB with 2times16 (time times frequency) and spreading to 7 dB with 16times2 (time times frequency) spreading. The algorithm is also shown to maintain or improve the BER floor for each spreading configuration. It is concluded that at higher and lower levels of E_b/N_o, a higher frequency- and time-domain spreading should be, respectively, employed to improve BER performance. Furthermore, the E_b/N_o threshold level to switch between time and frequency spreading for the analyzed system is found to be 2.5 dB.     

Constant-Power Bit Loading for Multicarrier Systems: BER-Allocation

Adaptive bit loading algorithms are proposed for multi-channel systems in general, and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in particular. A discrete coding-modulation adaptation is considered. Constant power allocation is assumed for all subchannels, while the bit error rate on different subchannels is unconstrained. The proposed algorithms are computationally efficient and require limited amount of feedback resources. Their performance compare favorably with other practical schemes known in the art.     

Error rates for biternary frequency modulation

The performance of a biternary f.m. system is investigated in the presence of additive Gaussian noise and receiver band limitation. The receiver bandpass-filter bandwidth is varied and, for each bandwidth, the frequency-deviation index that minimises the error probability is found. Comparisons with binary frequency modulation of the same data rate show that biternary frequency modulation can offer lower error rates only for receiver bandwidths less than 0.63 times the bit rate.     

Design and research of adaptive O-OFDM symbol decomposing with serial transmission system in visible light communication

Iterative signal clipping (ISC) and symbol decomposing with serial transmission (SDST) techniques decompose optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-OFDM) symbol into the fixed number of multiple small-amplitude symbols.However,at low O-OFDM symbol variances,the decomposition symbols contain a large amount of all-zero symbols without load information,which results in bit error rate degradation,optical power penalty and information rate reduction.Aim at this problem,an adaptive O-OFDM symbol decomposing with serial transmission (ASDST) system was proposed,the symbol decomposition was adaptively determined according to the O-OFDM symbol amplitude.Symbol decomposition was terminated until O-OFDM symbol was completely decomposed or the maximum symbol decomposition times were attained,thereby eliminated all-zero symbols and reduced the average symbol decomposition times.The performance of ASDST system was verified by theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo simulation.

Sequential Decoding of Convolutional Codes for Rayleigh Fading Channels

The performance of sequential decoding of long constraint length convolutional codes is evaluated for Rayleigh fading channels. Sequential decoding is not practical below a certain theoretical signal-to-noise ratio, and these theoretical limits are calculated for a number of modulation methods and code rates. As an example, with BPSK modulation, soft decisions and code rate 1/2, the theoretical signal-to-noise ratio per information bit is 5.7 dB. Above this limit the bit error rate can be made arbitrarily small by increasing the constraint length at no significant complexity cost. Furthermore, it is shown that with carefully chosen quantization steps, 8 level uniform quantization gives a negligible loss also for sequential decoding on a Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation results using 8 level quantization correspond well with the theoretical performance bounds. Also, the performance on a correlated channel with finite interleaving has been obtained. With an interleaver depth of 50×50 and a normalized doppler frequency equal to 0.01 we are only 0.5 dB away from the performance with perfect interleaving. Finally, bit error rate results show this scheme to compete well with Turbo codes.     

Cyclic prefixed single carrier and multicarrier transmission: bit rate comparison

We consider cyclic prefixed single carrier and adaptive multicarrier transmission over a frequency selective channel. We compare the achievable bit rate for a target bit error rate. We analytically prove that the bit rate achieved with multicarrier transmission with adaptive modulation is always higher than that obtained with single carrier transmission when a one-tap frequency domain equalizer is used. We also show that the same adaptively loaded multicarrier scheme reaches the performance of single carrier transmission with a block decision-feedback equalizer.

Baseband processing frequency-drift-compensation for QDPSK signal transmission

BER performance of differential detection severely degrades with carrier frequency drift. The authors propose a baseband processing frequency-drift-compensation (FDC) scheme that estimates the phase rotation of the differential detector output expressed in complex form and multiplies the complex conjugate of the estimate to cancel the phase rotation. 16 kbit/s QDPSK transmission experiments using a simulated Rayleigh fading channel show that a carrier frequency drift of up to about 3/64 times the bit rate can be tolerated with the use of the proposed baseband FDC.<>

Robustness to laser frequency offset in direct-detection DPSK and DQPSK systems

We assess, both by measurement and simulation, the receiver performance degradation caused by frequency offsets between the optical source and the delay interferometer for nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) differential-phase-shift-keying (DPSK) and differential-quadrature-phase-shift-keying (DQPSK) systems. We find that NRZ- and RZ-DQPSK systems are about six times more sensitive to frequency offsets than NRZ- and RZ-DPSK systems operating at the same bit rate. We explain the reason for this behavior by means of eye aperture considerations.
