可见光通信光正交频分复用系统符号分解技术抑制LED非线性失真研究

传统重复信号限幅(ISC)技术可以减小非线性LED光正交频分复用(O-OFDM)系统的非线性限幅噪声影响。但ISC系统需要多个LED同时发光,同步和硬件实现复杂,并且误码率(BER)随着信道增益差异的增大而变大。基于此,提出基于单个LED的O-OFDM符号分解串行传输系统,对O-OFDM符号进行限幅分解,然后串行组帧,最后输入到单个LED中。推导了系统理论信噪比表达式,并建立了蒙特卡罗误码率和误差矢量幅度(EVM)仿真模型。结果表明,随着符号分解次数增大,EVM和BER性能显著变好,但通信速率略有下降,并且直流偏置会影响EVM和BER性能。本系统实现简单,避免了信道增益差异引起的BER变差问题。     

可见光通信光叠加正交频分复用技术研究

针对可见光通信(VLC)正交频分复用(OFDM)系统 发光二极管(LED)动态范围窄、非线性和限幅失真严重等问题,利用光 源具有多个灯芯的特点,将OFDM频带划分为多个子带,每个子带内数据通过傅里叶反变换(IFFT)产生一路独立信号输入LED 灯芯,所有LED灯芯发出的光信号在空间上叠加形成光叠加OFDM(OSM-OFDM) 信号。在相同直流偏置情况下, OSM-OFDM系统每一路信号的调制深度较低,能够有效地避免LED非线性和限幅影响,特别是 在输入信号功率较大时,系统 误码率(BER)降低了至少1个数量级。根据有效信噪比(SNR) 最大原则能够得到OSM-OFDM系统最优直流偏置,而且在系统设计时可以根据 系统有效信噪比公式选择合适的LED灯芯数。实验表明,OSM-OFDM系统BER 性能要比直流偏置光OFDM(DCO-OFDM)系统提升了1个数量 级。     

降低可见光OFDM系统限幅失真的部分线性压扩变换研究

针对可见光正交频分复用（OFDM）系统发光二极管（LED）限幅失真严重的问题,提出一种部分线性压扩变换方法。输出光功率约束较大或较小时,在发射端对直流光正交频分复用（DCO-OFDM）双极性信号中的正信号或负信号进行线性压缩变换,在接收端对压扩信号进行扩展变换可以有效地减小限幅噪声。输入信号功率一定时,在有效信噪比最大原则下对部分线性压扩变换系数和直流偏置进行优化,系统能够获得最佳性能。仿真实验表明,随着约束光功率增大,系统性能越差,且压缩系数的最优值也越小。随着QAM调制阶数的增加,部分线性压扩变换获得的性能增益越小。      

Investigation of the distortion factor for Bussgang noise cancellation iterative receivers

Orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered an efficient modulation approach in the field of wireless systems. However, the significant high peak to average power ratios (PAPR) are one of the prominant shortcomings of the OFDM systems leading to severe signal distortions and acute power inefficiency. Iterative receivers, which use Bussgang algorithm approach along with clipping at the transmitter, have been presented in the literature. This methodology is majorly receiver based in order to compensate the effects of the clipping noise that was added at the transmitter. These receivers are used to analyse the distortions of clipping noise directly subtracting from the signals that are received in order to get the original signal. We demonstrate in this study a detailed and technical investigation of the Bussgang noise cancellation (BNC) receiver along with some significant results. Simulation results are presented to show that the BNC iterative receiver does not estimate the accurate clipping noise, and the performance may be improved if at the receiver end, it is somehow capable to analyze the precise clipping noise for each OFDM signal.     

OFDM系统中基于限幅和压缩感知的非线性失真补偿算法

正交频分复用（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM）信号具有较高的峰均功率比（Peak to Average Power Ratio,PAPR）,不仅影响功率放大器（High Power Amplifier,HPA）的工作效率,而且HPA使得OFDM信号产生严重的非线性失真,导致系统的误比特率（Bite Error Rate,BER）增大.本文基于限幅和压缩感知（Compressive Sensing,CS）提出了改进的补偿算法,发送端采用限幅降低信号的PAPR,接收端首先采用改进的逆模型方式减小HPA引入的非线性失真,再采用CS抵消由限幅引入的信号失真.仿真表明,所提方法不仅明显降低了OFDM信号的PAPR,而且有效提高了系统的BER性能.     

OFDM系统中限幅非线性失真迭代对消法性能分析

限幅技术常用于正交频分复用系统中以抑制高峰值平均功率比,为抑制限幅造成的带内失真和带外辐射,可以在接收端进行限幅噪声的迭代估计和对消。该文提出对限幅带来的非线性失真进行迭代估计和对消的效果要比仅对限幅噪声进行估计对消好。前者在理想情况下能完全恢复出发端未限幅前的信号,但后者将始终受到由限幅带来的信号衰减的影响。理论分析和仿真结果验证了该结论及性能,同时数字结果表明,该算法能有效改进系统性能。在归一化限幅门限为1.2时,只通过一次迭代就能提高2dB。     

面向5G三大应用场景的F-OFDM系统PAPR抑制算法研究

曾作为5G候选波形技术的基于子带滤波的正交频分复用(Filtered-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,F-OFDM)是基于正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)发展而来的,和OFDM一样存在峰值平均功率比(Peak to Average Power Ratio,PAPR)的问题。高PAPR的信号在发送时对系统功率放大器的性能要求很高,容易发生信号失真,并且会直接影响整个系统的运行成本和效率。为了提高F-OFDM系统在5G三大应用场景中的PAPR抑制性能,引入一种基于迭代限幅滤波的次优PTS抑制算法。该算法主要分为两个过程,先对F-OFDM系统的各子带的高PAPR值信号进行线性抑制,然后待各子带的信号经过各自的数字子带滤波器合并后再进行迭代限幅滤波处理,从而完成对F-OFDM信号PAPR的抑制。仿真表明,该算法相对于单独使用次优PTS算法或迭代限幅滤波算法,能提高F-OFDM系统的PAPR抑制性能。

在多入多出的正交频分复用系统中,常采用Turbo接收以保证系统性能。在正交频分复用系统中,限幅技术是常见的峰值平均功率比抑制技术,但限幅带来的非线性失真会造成带内失真和带外辐射,从而恶化系统性能。本文提出可以利用Turho接收机的先验信息进行限幅非线性失真的迭代对消,从而在引入少量复杂度的基础上,对抗限幅带来的影响。仿真结果表明,引入限幅非线性失真迭代对消算法可以有效提高系统性能,限幅门限越低效果越明显。     

Assessment of the DC Bias to Mitigate the Clipping Noise in DCO-OFDM,ACO-OFDM; and Non-linear Distortion of DFB Laser Transmitted through Dispersive Single Mode Fibers in IM/DD Systems

An analytical investigation on the impact of the DC bias on the clipping noise and the laser non-linearity in Asymmetrically Clipped Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) and Direct Current—Biased Optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) is performed. Clipping noise in the OFDM system is introduced either by transmitter non-linearity or due to the low power sensitivity of the receiver. However the clipping noise in the DCO-OFDM is also dependent upon the DC bias applied to make the bipolar OFDM signal unipolar. The addition of this extra DC bias increases the average signal power of the DCO-OFDM signal. The non-linearity of the DFB laser increases with the optical modulation index, which gives rise to intermodulation and harmonic distortions at the receiver. The OFDM signal when transmitted through the Single Mode Fiber (SMF) suffers from group—velocity dispersion (GVD) which limits its performance in the Passive Optical Networks (PON). In this paper, an assessment of the DC bias to reduce the clipping noise in the two systems under consideration is performed. A practical laser model is considered and analysis is performed to estimate the average laser drive power to maintain its non-linearities within a tolerable region for both the OFDM systems. A simulation is performed to transmit 5 and 8 Gb/s (ACO and DCO) OFDM signal over 120 km SMF where the effect of GVD is taken into consideration. An optimum OFDM drive signal power is calculated to maintain the laser transmitter in its linear region such that the effect of second order harmonic distortions (HD2) and third order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is low. The SNR requirement of DCO-OFDM being higher than the ACO-OFDM leads to more clipping noise, HD2 and IMD3.     

基于多基色LED和OFDM的可见光通信系统

目前,基于单白光LED的光正交频分复用(OFDM)系 统结构的频谱效率(SE)成倍低于传统OFDM系统,为了提高SE,对多基色LED的宽带通信潜能进行了研究,在综合分析经典光OFDM 调制技术的基础 上,提出一种基于多基色LED和OFDM的可见光通信(VLC)系统。系统发射机采用 M基色LED作为发射天线, 并采用OFDM对二进制数据进行调制,调制后的多个复信号再通过二维复信号转 M维实向量信号的方法 和极性编码方法,驱动M基色LED发出复合光信号,接收机采用M 个前端设置有不同颜色滤波器的光 电二极管(PD)接收叠加复合光信号。仿真结果表明,在相同误符号率情况下,本文系统在加 性高斯白噪声环境和 实测信道条件下比经典的非对称限幅光OFDM(ACO-OFDM)的VLC系统大约有2dB的信噪比(SNR)增益。     

Iterative estimation and cancellation of clipping noise for OFDM signals

Clipping is an efficient and simple method to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. However, clipping causes distortion and out-of-band radiation. In this letter, a novel iterative receiver is proposed to estimate and cancel the distortion caused by clipping noise. The proposed method is applied to clipped and filtered OFDM signals. It is shown by simulation that for an IEEE 802.11a typical scenario the system performance can be restored to within 1 dB of the nonclipped case with only moderate complexity increase and with no bandwidth expansion.     

Iterative decision‐directed estimation and compensation of nonlinear distortion effects for OFDM systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted for several wireless network standards due to its robustness against multipath fading. Main drawback of OFDM is its high peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) that causes a signal degradation in a peak‐limiting (e.g., clipping) channel leading to a higher bit error rate (BER). At the receiver end, the effect of peak limitation can be removed to some extent to improve the system performance. In this paper, a joint iterative channel estimation/equalization and clipping noise reduction technique based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is presented. The equalization weight that minimizes the mean square error (MSE) between the signal after channel equalization and feedback signal after clipping noise reduction is derived assuming imperfect channel state information (CSI). The MSE performance of the proposed technique is theoretically evaluated. It is shown that the BER performance of OFDM with proposed technique can be significantly improved in a peak‐limited and doubly‐selective (i.e., time‐ and frequency‐selective) fading channel.

DFT-spread combined with clipping method to reduce the PAPR in VLC-OFDM system

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive technique to realize high data rate in light emitting diodes (LEDs)-based visible light communication (VLC). However, high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM makes VLC-OFDM very sensitive to the nonlinearity of LEDs. In this paper, the discrete Fourier transform-spread (DFT-spread) combined with clipping method is proposed to reduce the PAPR of OFDM signal in VLC system. Combining simulation with experiment, a performance comparison is made among conventional OFDM, DFT-spread-OFDM, and clipped DFT-spread-OFDM with different clipping ratios (CRs) in a single LED-based VLC system. The experimental results show that the proposed clipped DFT-spread-OFDM method can effectively improve the system performance compared with the other two methods. At the optimum signal peak-to-peak (PTP) value, by using the clipped DFT-spread-OFDM scheme with CR at 8 dB, the bit error rate (BER) of the system can be reduced from 0.003 7 to 0.000 287.

OFDM系统中基于压缩感知恢复由限幅和HPA产生的非线性失真研究

正交频分复用（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM）系统的主要缺点之一就是有较高的峰均功率比（Peak to Average Power Ratio,PAPR）,降低了功率放大器（High Power Amplifier,HPA）的工作效率,同时HPA引入的非线性失真,恶化了系统的误比特率（Bite Error Rate,BER）性能.本文所提算法将限幅和HPA引入的非线性失真视为一个整体来考虑,利用与限幅噪声在时域上的近似稀疏性,对整个非线性过程进行建模.发送端通过限幅降低了OFDM信号的PAPR,在接收端,选取受噪声干扰小的可靠性观测向量,最小化信道噪声的影响,基于非线性模型计算得到的参数,利用压缩感知（Compressive Sensing,CS）算法能有效地恢复总的非线性失真信号,提升了系统的BER性能.     

BIDIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION OF ADDRESSED AUDIO SIGNAL THROUGH GI MULTIMODE OPTICAL FIBRES

This paper describes two types of bidirectional addressed audio signal transmission systems where the square-wave frequency modulation (SWFM) and intensity modulation (IM) are used to obtain the optical SWFM signals generated from LEDs at 850 nm. The first one is an addressed audio signal transmission network of tree structure. The sender and auxiliary receiver in the centre are connected to four terminals, each consisting of a receiver and an auxiliary sender, through pairs of optical fibres and an optical splitter used as an optical signal distributor. The second one is a new type of full-duplex one-to-one communication system. The sender and auxiliary receiver in one terminal are connected to the receiver and auxiliary sender in the other terminal through an optical fibre and a pair of directional couplers. Although LEDs in the second system deliver optical SWFM signals at the same wavelength of 850 nm at the same time, the communications are satisfactory because there is no interference from one LED to the other. In both the first and second experimental systems, the audio signal, address, and SWFM carrier occupy 10 Hz to 20 kHz, 65 kHz to 710 kHz, and 6 MHz, respectively. The SNR and distortion were 62 dB and 0.4 per cent, respectively.     

Performance analysis of deliberately clipped OFDM signals

We analyze the performance of the clipped orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in terms of peak power reduction capability and degradation of channel capacity. The clipping is performed on the baseband OFDM signals with and without oversampling, followed by the ideal low-pass filter. First, the effect of the envelope clipping on the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the instantaneous power of the band-limited OFDM signal is studied. We then discuss the channel capacity of the oversampled and clipped OFDM signals over the additive white Gaussian noise and ideally interleaved Rayleigh fading channels. The capacity is calculated based on the assumption that the distortion terms caused by the clipping are Gaussian. It is shown that the SNR penalty due to the clipping can be considerably alleviated by using optimal coding and reducing the information data rate. The results are justified by the simulation results using near optimal turbo codes     

Joint clip and quantization effects characterization in OFDM receivers

An accurate method to analyze the joint effect of clipping, quantization and thermal noise in the analog-to-digital conversion in high-speed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receivers is presented. The model provides information about the spectral properties of the distortion noise, which allows the analytical characterization of the signal-to-noise distortion ratio at the input of the demodulator. Oversampling, filtering, uniform, and optimal nonuniform quantization effects are taken into account. The optimal automatic gain control working point is evaluated for each parameter configuration. The differences from the results obtained by the classical pseudo-quantization noise model are highlighted showing that, due to the spectral characteristics, the gain introduced by oversampling is generally a few decibels lower than what foreseen by the classical theory. Moreover, the impact of these effects on the OFDM receiver performance degradation is evaluated and the validity of simplified approximations is discussed.     

Effect of LED Radiation Pattern on BER Performance in Indoor Multipath MIMO-VLC System

The present paper investigates the impact of three radiation patterns of LED namely Lambertian, Batwing, Elliptical on the BER performance of 4 × 4 indoor multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) system. The BER simulation has been done using LOS and LOS plus first reflection (L-R1) signals for ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted LEDs. For the case of ceiling-mounted LEDs, impulse response and BER have been computed using those radiation patterns at the centre and corner of a room (5 m × 5 m × 3 m). It has been found that LED having Elliptical radiation profile is more suitable for LOS signal when receiver is placed at the centre position whereas, Batwing radiation is suitable for L-R1 signal, both at the centre and corner positions. In the case of wall-mounted LEDs, impulse response and BER have been determined at the centre of the room using LOS and L-R1 signals. The results show that Batwing has least BER using LOS signal due to its wide radiation beam, but for L-R1 signal, the Elliptical profile having its narrow radiation beam has provided better BER performance. The present study shows that the BER in MIMO-VLC system not only depends on the transmitter and receiver position but also on the radiation patterns of LED and higher order reflection signals.
