Low peak‐to‐average power ratio and efficient multicarrier spread spectrum transceivers using hybrid and quadrature cyclic shift orthogonal keying

This paper proposes two bandwidth and power efficient multicode multicarrier spread spectrum (MCSS) system modes based on a new cyclic shift orthogonal keying (CSOK) scheme that leads to low peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) signals. Both system modes can improve the bandwidth efficiency by loading more data bits per symbol block. The first system mode is the hybrid CSOK (HCSOK) mode, which combines phase shift keying (PSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation symbol with the CSOK symbol, for example, the important hybrid quadrature PSK (QPSK)–CSOK case. The second is the quadrature CSOK (QCSOK) mode that transmits two parallel binary phase shift keying (BPSK)–CSOK branches at the same time. For both modes, maximum likelihood receivers are derived and simplified, leading to efficient fast Fourier transform‐based structures for maximum ratio combining and cyclic‐code correlation. Theoretical bit error rate (BER) analysis is conducted for the hybrid QPSK–CSOK case. Simulation results demonstrate that both the two system modes considerably outperforms the traditional Walsh‐coded MCSS system in terms of bandwidth efficiency, PAPR, BER, and antijamming capability. Furthermore, in indoor channel, QCSOK performs slightly worse than QPSK–CSOK, but it has almost twice the data rate when the code length is large. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A low‐complexity MSK‐based M‐ary cyclic‐shift keying transceiver for direct sequence spread spectrum system over multipath fading channels

In this paper, a low‐complexity spread spectrum system with M‐ary cyclic‐shift keying (MCSK) symbol spreading is proposed. In addition, by using the minimum‐shift‐keying (MSK) as the chip‐level modulation, we obtain a high‐rate QPSK‐MCSK transceiver scheme which not only provides a constant‐envelop and continuous‐phase transmitted signal, but can also achieve a better performance than the conventional direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) system. At the transmitter, the data stream is first mapped into QPSK‐MCSK symbols in terms of orthogonal Gold code sequences, then followed by the cyclic prefix (CP) insertion for combating the interblock interference, and finally applying the MSK scheme to maintain the constant‐envelope property. The receiver first performs MSK demodulation, then CP removal, and finally the channel‐included MCSK despreading and symbol demapping. Furthermore, the single input single output (SISO) QPSK‐MCSK transceiver can be easily extended to the multiple input single output (MISO) case by incorporating the space–time block coding for high‐link quality. Simulation results show that the proposed SISO and MISO QPSK‐MCSK systems significantly outperform the conventional DSSS counterparts under the AWGN channel, and attain a more robust performance under the multipath fading channel.

Multiuser cyclic shift keying spread spectrum underwater acoustic communication

Aiming at the problem of low data rate and high receiver complexity of existing direct sequence spread spectrum code division multiple access (DS-CDMA),a novel code division multiple access (CDMA) using cyclic shift keying (CSK) signaling,namely CSK-CDMA,was proposed for multiuser underwater acoustic communication.The proposed method used the cyclic correlation characteristic of spread spectrum signals with M-ary modulation to provide a higher data rate than conventional.Passive time reversal technology was employed to suppress inter-code interference between users and the co-channel interference.The quasi-orthogonality of spread spectrum code was used to improve the processing gain.Multiuser communications are demonstrated with lake experimental recorded data under the condition of 5.27 km distance and complex multipath interference.The data rate is 39 bit/s/user for 6 users with bit error rate around 10^-2～10^-4.

Turbo‐coded APSK modulations design for satellite broadband communications

This paper investigates the design of power and spectrally efficient coded modulations based on amplitude phase shift keying (APSK) modulation with application to satellite broadband communications. APSK represents an attractive modulation format for digital transmission over nonlinear satellite channels due to its power and spectral efficiency combined with its inherent robustness against nonlinear distortion. For these reasons APSK has been very recently introduced in the new standard for satellite Digital Video Broadcasting named DVB‐S2. Assuming an ideal rectangular transmission pulse, for which no nonlinear inter‐symbol interference is present and perfect pre‐compensation of the nonlinearity, we optimize the APSK constellation. In addition to the minimum distance criterion, we introduce a new optimization based on the mutual information; this new method generates an optimum constellation for each spectral efficiency. To achieve power efficiency jointly with low bit error rate (BER) floor we adopt a powerful binary serially concatenated turbo‐code coupled with optimal APSK modulations through bit‐interleaved coded modulation. We derive tight approximations on the maximum‐likelihood decoding error probability, and results are compared with computer simulations. The proposed coded modulation scheme is shown to provide a considerable performance advantage compared to current standards for satellite multimedia and broadcasting systems.

Performance evaluation and implementation of convolution coded OFDM modem in wireless underwater acoustic communication

High‐data transmission rate and reliable communication in underwater acoustic channel is challenging because of limited bandwidth, multipath propagation, and Doppler shift, which results in poor bit error performance. Under this constraint, this paper explains the simulation results of underwater wireless acoustic data transmission system by using quadrature phase shift keying modulation with convolution encoder at the transmitter and proposed Viterbi decoder at the receiver. The decoder algorithm in comparison with MATLAB inbuilt function shows asserting improved results. This paper evaluates the performance of convolution coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modem, which is studied over typical underwater channel through an extensive computer simulation and a semirealistic experimentation. The performance of convolution coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system is measured in time domain plots, bit error rate curves, and number of bit errors per frame over additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh channel conditions.     

一种新的光码分多址多用户干扰抑制方法

目前光码多分址（OCDMA）系统多采用开关键控（OOK）调制,多用户干扰主要影响发送比特为“0”时的误码率,原因是发送比特“0”时信号中没有光脉冲。据此,提出了一种新的OCDMA多用户干扰抑制方法。研制了一种新型OCDMA系统,通过对比特“0”和比特“1”分别使用同一地址码和它的移位变形,来避免发送比特“0”时无光脉冲的问题,而且接收端采用最大值判决,进一步减小多用户干扰。阐述了其工作原理,系统采用最佳光正交码作为地址码,分析推导了新型系统的误码率表达式,进而对新型系统和常规系统进行误码性能仿真。仿真结果表明,新型系统比常规系统的误码性能改善10个数量级以上。

MIMO GS OVSF/OFDM Based Underwater Acoustic Multimedia Communication Scheme

An underwater acoustic multimedia communication (UWAMC) system is proposed with 2400 transmission modes according to time-varying multipath underwater acoustic (UWA) channel conditions. The orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) scheme and Gold sequence (GS) scramble code are integrated into multi-input multi-output UWAMC system based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing to achieve the quality of service of multimedia transmission in the UWA channel. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) adaptive modulation, direct mapping (DM) or space–time block code (STBC) transmission strategies, convolution channel code with rate 1/2 and 1/3, and a power assignment mechanism were adopted in the proposed system. Simulation results show that the bit error rate (BER) and power saving ratio (PSR) performance of the STBC strategy with transmission diversity is superior to that of the DM strategy without transmission diversity, and the performance of the BERs and PSRs of the transmission scheme with the GS scramble code surpasses that of the scheme without the code. The performance of the BERs and PSRs of BPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/3 is better than that of BPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/2, and the performances of BERs and PSRs of BPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/3 are better than that of QPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/3. As the length of the OVSF codes increases, the UWAMC system’s BERs decrease, and its PSRs increase. The UWAMC system can achieve either maximum transmission speed or maximum transmission power efficiency.

Multicarrier-Based QAPM Modulation System for the Low Power Consumption and High Data Rates

Low power consumption and high data rate are the most important requirements for the communication system. Especially, very low power consumption modulation method is required for the short range communication systems such as the medical implantable communication devices or capsule endoscope, and so on. For the higher data rate, we like to combine the OFDM system into the QAPM since the OFDM system has higher bandwidth efficiency than a single-carrier system. In this paper, we like to propose a QAPM (Quadrature amplitude position modulation) method combined with the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Next, we analyze the performance of three low-power-consumption modulation schemes: the phase shift position modulation (PSPM), phase silence shift keying (PSSK), and QAPM using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system in the multi-path channel. These schemes have lower bandwidth efficiency and the higher power efficiency than the existing phase-shift keying (PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes. It can be shown that they can achieve greater power efficiency because every modulation symbol has a zero-envelope period as in pulse-position modulation (PPM) techniques. Finally, we compare the performances of the PSPM, PSSK, and QAPM modulation combined with the OFDM system with regard to bit error rate performance and throughput.     

A high‐speed long‐haul wavelength division multiplexing–based inter‐satellite optical wireless communication link using spectral‐efficient 2‐D orthogonal modulation scheme

In this work, we propose a novel multi‐bit/symbol spectral‐efficient optical orthogonal modulation scheme based on simultaneously modulating differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK)‐polarization shift keying (PolSK) in a 16‐channel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)‐based inter‐satellite optical wireless communication (IsOWC) system. Through numerical simulations, we demonstrate a reliable transportation of 16 × 100 Gbps information over 25 000 km of transmission range with acceptable bit error rate (BER) using the proposed system. Further, the impact of space turbulences (ie, pointing error losses) on the BER performance of the proposed IsOWC link has been evaluated using numerical simulations. The simulation results report a successful transportation of information up to 2.7 μrad receiver pointing error angle with acceptable performance.

Hybrid frequency-polarization shift-keying Modulation for optical transmission

In this paper, we propose a new modulation scheme based on combining frequency and polarization modulated signals, which we will refer to as hybrid frequency-polarization shift keying (FPolSK). The FPolSK modulation is basically an extension of the conventional M-PolSK modulation over orthogonal domains. This expansion enables representing signal constellation points over multidimensional space, which ensures increasing the geometric distances between these points, and in turn, improving the system power efficiency. On the other hand, compared with M-FSK modulation, FPolSK improves the bandwidth efficiency by employing less number of orthogonal frequencies to represent information symbols. Moreover, FPolSK is extremely useful for implementing communication systems that have limitations in power and bandwidth usage. This advantage comes from the fact that FPolSK inherently enables selecting the appropriate number of orthogonal frequencies that convey with system constraints. The contribution in this paper is threefold. First, we propose a design for the transmitter and the receiver of the FPolSK technique. Second, we perform analysis for the system power and bandwidth efficiencies. Third, we derive an expression for the system power spectral density (PSD). A performance comparison between the FPolSK modulation technique and previously developed techniques is also presented in this paper. Our results reveal that the proposed modulation scheme performs better than M-PolSK, M-DPSK, and M-FSK modulation schemes in terms of both power and bandwidth efficiencies. We have also found that same bandwidth efficiency can be obtained using different FPolSK modulation formats, and the PSD of the FPolSK modulation does not contain discrete components that are considered as a waste of power. Finally, the effects of the laser phase noise and fiber dispersion on the performance of the proposed modulation are also discussed in detail.

Performance enhancement of overall LEO/MEO intersatellite optical wireless communication systems

This paper has deeply investigated the performance signature of modulation techniques based low earth orbit (LEO)/medium earth orbit (MEO) intersatellite optical wireless communication systems for possible communication coverage distance of 20 000 km with possible transmission bit rate of 0.5 Tb/s. These modulation techniques that are namely multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (M‐QAM), multilevel phase shift keying (N‐PSK), multilevel pulse amplitude modulation (H‐PAM), and finally multilevel differential phase shift keying (L‐DPSK) based on different electrical pulse generators for upgrading LEO/MEO intersatellite link operation efficiency. These pulse generators that are namely Gaussian pulse generator (GPG), hyperbolic secant pulse generator (HSPG), and raised cosine pulse generator (RCPG). The variations of maximum Q‐factor, minimum bit error rate (BER), and optical signal‐to‐noise ratio in relation to number of bits/symbol for different modulation techniques can be deeply studied in the presence of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). This study is done with using Optiwave system simulation version 7 for different modulation techniques, and all figures are sketched with using wizard Excel sheet set up. It is observed that maximum Q‐factor and minimum BER are optimized with using GPG and 8‐PAM, as well as 4‐DPSK with both HSPG and RCPG.     

Constellation design and performance analysis of the parallel spatial modulation

Spatial modulation (SM) is a relatively recent multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) system in which information is carried by the index of the antenna used for transmission as well as by the conventional signal symbols. Several systems that build upon SM have since been proposed including the generalized SM (GSM), a variant of GSM with multiple active antennas (MA‐SM), quadrature SM (QSM), and parallel SM (PSM), among others. The PSM system can increase the spectral efficiency by splitting the antenna set into groups and applying SM independently in each group using the same signal symbol. In this paper, we first derive the upper bound on the error probability of the PSM. The search of the optimal constellation set is then formulated as a multi‐objective optimization problem, where the obtained constellation minimizes the asymptotic error probability. We conclude that as the number of antenna groups increases, the proposed constellation converges to the conventional phase‐shift keying at relatively low number of transmit antennas. The simulation results show that the proposed constellation outperforms conventional constellations by as much as 5 dB, for high‐modulation orders. Since the multi‐objective optimization is independent of the channel matrix, it can be easily done off‐line. This implies that these gains come at no complexity or delay cost.     

Non-Uniform Time Slot Based Modulation for Visible Light Communication System

Recently, visible light communication (VLC) has got increasing attention in the field of indoor wireless communications. VLC has the obligation of lighting besides data communications. The IEEE 802.15.7 task group proposed a VLC modulation format named color shift keying in which data symbols are defined based on the diffused light wavelength. This paper presents a new modulation scheme for indoor wireless visible light communication system named non-uniform time slot modulation (NUTS). The NUTS modulation scheme defines the feeder signals of red, green and blue LEDs as rectangular pulses with appropriate width and their positions. In this method, the time axes of all the three light sources (channels) are slotted to some non-uniform durations that all symbols are spanned over these slots as orthogonal dimensions. The proposed scheme has some advantages with respect to other approaches such as low bit error rate and high bit rate. Furthermore, it provides appropriate synchronization capability. Besides, in the design of NUTS modulation scheme it has been tried to deliberate all practical constraints, as far as possible.
