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.     

基于抖动的Serdes接口误码率量产测试评价方法

高速串行接口应用的普及给集成电路性能测试带来了新的挑战。误码率(BER)是衡量通信系统性能的关键指标,衡量高速Serdes接口的误码率是十分必要的。通常测试误码率时需要发送大量数据通过长时间稳定的运行,统计接收到的错误比特数来计算误码率,测试时不仅需要大量测试时间,还需在测试路径等硬件中对信号完整性进行优化,避免出现由于测试本身对结果产生影响。从误码率产生的机理出发,探寻一种高效、可靠的误码率评价方法,提出一种基于抖动(jitter)的误码率量产测试方案。     

Error-rate characteristics of oversampled analog-to-digitalconversion

Accuracy of simple analog-to-digital conversion depends on both resolution of discretization in amplitude and resolution of discretization in time. For implementation convenience, high conversion accuracy is attained by refining the discretization in time using oversampling. It is commonly believed that oversampling adversely impacts rate-distortion properties of the conversion, since the bit rate, B, increases linearly with oversampling, resulting in a slow error decay in the bit rate, on the order of O(1/B). We demonstrate that the information obtained in the process of oversampled analog-to-digital conversion can easily be encoded in a manner which requires only a logarithmic increase of the bit rate with redundancy, achieving an exponential error decay in the bit rate     

Bit Error Probability and Bit Outage Rate in Chaos Communication

This paper investigates the notion of the probability of bit error (PBE) and its distribution in chaos-based communication systems; these are seen as being the fundamental quantities to both the well-known bit error rate (BER) and the new concept in chaos communications of bit outage rate (BOR). The form of the distribution illustrates the degree to which bit error rate is a stable representation of performance. Bit outage rate is another measure of performance which gives practically helpful information about bit error. For a simple coherent chaos-shift-keying system the distribution of bit error probability is derived exactly, and theoretically exact formulas for the bit outage rate and bit error rate are presented. Two specific cases are developed to obtain useful qualitative and quantitative information. The cases concern independent Gaussian spreading, as a lower benchmark and logistic map spreading, as typical of effective chaotic spreading. Comparisons are obtained between these spreading distributions and between different extents of their spreading, calibrated against per bit signal to noise ratio. A general conclusion is that bit outage and bit error rates are complementary measures of performance.

利用光子追踪法建立了大气直视信道模型, 仿真分析了信噪比(SNR)、比特率和能见度三者对自由空间光通信误码率的影响。选用1.55μm和10.6μm两个波长作对比分析, 结果显示两种波长的误码率随SNR的增大而减小, 随比特率的增大而增大。在能见度较低时, 10.6μm激光的误码性能优于1.55μm激光, 并且在低SNR和高比特率的情况下, 这种优势越发明显。在能见度较高时, 两种波长的误码性能相差无几。     

A wavelet-based two-stage near-lossless coder.

In this paper, we present a two-stage near-lossless compression scheme. It belongs to the class of "lossy plus residual coding" and consists of a wavelet-based lossy layer followed by arithmetic coding of the quantized residual to guarantee a given L(infinity) error bound in the pixel domain. We focus on the selection of the optimum bit rate for the lossy layer to achieve the minimum total bit rate. Unlike other similar lossy plus lossless approaches using a wavelet-based lossy layer, the proposed method does not require iteration of decoding and inverse discrete wavelet transform in succession to locate the optimum bit rate. We propose a simple method to estimate the optimal bit rate, with a theoretical justification based on the critical rate argument from the rate-distortion theory and the independence of the residual error.

Low-complexity maximum-likelihood detection of coded signals sentover finite-state Markov channels

We propose a decision-feedback decoder for coded signals transmitted over finite-state Markov channels. The decoder achieves maximum-likelihood sequence detection (in the absence of feedback errors) with very low complexity by exploiting previous bit decisions and the Markov structure of the channel. We also propose a similar decoder, the output-feedback decoder, that does not use previous bit decisions and therefore does not suffer from error propagation. The decoder performance is determined using a new sliding window analysis technique as well as by simulation. Both decoders exhibit excellent bit error rate performance with a relatively low complexity that is independent of the channel decorrelation time     

Coherent optical CDMA with limited phase excursion

We examine the bit error rate (BER) of the conventional matched-filter detector for an optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system employing coherent homodyne detection. We assume a phase shift keying (PSK) modulation format where the phase is modulated by one of two methods: (1) an external phase modulator or (2) injection locking. Phase excursion is limited to ±0.42 π when using injection locking. We examine the bit error rate performance for both external modulation and modulation of the injection current and find only a moderate penalty (0.55 dB) associated with the limited phase excursion     

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     

Communications performance of a multimode EDFA

We report an investigation of a multimode EDFA used as an optically preamplified receiver. A two-stage amplifier pumped at 982 nm shows gain of up to 40 dB at 1553 nm. We study the communications performance of the receiver at 10 Gb/s and compare it with theory. The measured sensitivity is 220 photons per bit at a bit error rate of 10/sup -9/ and data rate of 10 Gb/s. This is 4.5 dB from the quantum limit of 75 photons per bit for a 56 mode amplifier.

A Model for the Performance Evaluation of Packet Transmissions Using Type-II Hybrid ARQ over a Correlated Error Channel

Type-II Hybrid-ARQ (Type-II HARQ) has been shown, under certain circumstances, to increase the efficiency and reduce loss of data transmissions over a wireless channel. However, it is difficult to predict how it will perform when transmission symbol errors are correlated. We present a computationally efficient approach to the performance evaluation of packet transmissions over a wireless link employing Type-II HARQ error mitigation when the physical channel is subject to correlated transmission symbol errors. This provides a tool for static or online optimization of system parameters. We present numerical results for a wide range of channel statistics, illustrating the effect of bit error correlation, bit error rate, and block size on packet latency and loss rate.

Symbol-based turbo codes

We present a new turbo-coding method which parses the input block into n-bit symbols and interleaves on a symbol-by-symbol basis. This is used in conjunction with different modulation techniques to take advantage of tradeoffs between bit error rate performance, code-rate, spectral efficiency, and decoder complexity. The structure of the encoder and decoder of these codes, which We call symbol-based turbo codes, are outlined. The bit error rate performance of a few specific codes are examined. A discussion on decoder complexity is also included. Symbol-based turbo codes are good candidates for low delay transmission of speech and data in spread spectrum communication systems

Proof of security of quantum key distribution with two-way classical communications

Shor and Preskill (see Phys. Rev. Lett., vol.85, p.441, 2000) have provided a simple proof of security of the standard quantum key distribution scheme by Bennett and Brassard (1984) by demonstrating a connection between key distribution and entanglement purification protocols (EPPs) with one-way communications. Here, we provide proofs of security of standard quantum key distribution schemes, Bennett and Brassard and the six-state scheme, against the most general attack, by using the techniques of two-way entanglement purification. We demonstrate clearly the advantage of classical post-processing with two-way classical communications over classical post-processing with only one-way classical communications in quantum key distribution (QKD). This is done by the explicit construction of a new protocol for (the error correction/detection and privacy amplification of) Bennett and Brassard that can tolerate a bit error rate of up to 18.9%, which is higher than what any Bennett and Brassard scheme with only one-way classical communications can possibly tolerate. Moreover, we demonstrate the advantage of the six-state scheme over Bennett and Brassard by showing that the six-state scheme can strictly tolerate a higher bit error rate than Bennett and Brassard. In particular, our six-state protocol can tolerate a bit error rate of 26.4%, which is higher than the upper bound of 25% bit error rate for any secure Bennett and Brassard protocol. Consequently, our protocols may allow higher key generation rate and remain secure over longer distances than previous protocols. Our investigation suggests that two-way entanglement purification is a useful tool in the study of advantage distillation, error correction, and privacy amplification protocols.     

Error rate and outage of dual‐hop DF relay system with selection combining over Rice fading

Performance of dual‐hop decode‐and‐forward relay system with selection‐combining receiver is analyzed over Rice fading channels. The following closed‐form expressions of performance metrics are derived: moment generating function for selection‐combining receiver output signal‐to‐noise ratio, exact average bit error rate of noncoherent modulations, approximate average symbol error rate for coherent modulations, and outage probability. We also obtain simple asymptotic expressions for moment generating function, exact average bit error rate, average symbol error rate, and outage probability, which are useful to characterize the diversity order and the coding gain. The optimal power allocation analysis suggests that the optimal power allocation factor is independent of total signal‐to‐noise ratio and source‐to‐destination link fading parameters. The accuracy of the obtained analytical expressions are supported by computer simulation results.
