接近非相干水声通信信道容量的信号处理算法

恶劣情况下的非相干水声通信信道模型为随机相位Rayleigh衰落,推导了该模型的信道容量曲线。为实现接近非相干信道容量的可靠通信,提出多进制低密度校验码(LDPC)和恒重码级联码的多进制非相干概率域迭代处理算法。在信道幅度和相位完全未知的情况下,根据矩估计得到信号和噪声频点幅度的统计参量,进而得到恒重码的码字后验概率,再对多进制LDPC码进行因子图迭代译码。仿真证明本算法与现有的最大能量检测非迭代译码算法相比,与信道容量曲线的差距从4.5dB缩小至1.5dB。给出了实际海试湖试通信效果,频段为6~10kHz,数据速率为357bps,海试时近似垂直通信距离为5km,湖试时水平通信距离近3km、多径超过50mS,两种情况下无差错通信的信噪比门限为2dB,验证了本算法的优势。      

Atmospheric channel characteristics for quantum communication with continuous polarization variables

We investigate the properties of an atmospheric channel for free space quantum communication with continuous polarization variables. In our prepare-and-measure setup, coherent polarization states are transmitted through an atmospheric quantum channel of 100 m length on the flat roof of our institute’s building. The signal states are measured by homodyne detection with the help of a local oscillator (LO) which propagates in the same spatial mode as the signal, orthogonally polarized to it. Thus the interference of signal and LO is excellent and atmospheric fluctuations are auto-compensated. The LO also acts as a spatial and spectral filter, which allows for unrestrained daylight operation. Important characteristics for our system are atmospheric channel influences that could cause polarization, intensity and position excess noise. Therefore we study these influences in detail. Our results indicate that the channel is suitable for our quantum communication system in most weather conditions.     

A signal optimization strategy for next generation navigation and communication integration applications

For 6G and future communication technologies, integration of navigation and communication has become a hot research topic, which can greatly improve the transmission data rate and can be applied to self-driving vehicles. In former research, a novel integrated navigation and communication signal has been designed by combining traditional global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and cyclic code shift keying (CCSK) signals. In this paper, we design an enhancement strategy for this signal, optimizing the number of cyclic shifts of the CCSK signal, which can make larger values of cross-correlation function align with the peak value of self-correlation function to overcome the cross-correlation interference and improve communication performance. Simulation results validate that the proposal not only can avoid interference between navigation and communication signals, but also can improve the signal detection probability and reduce the transmit error rate. Taking Beidou B1I signal as an example, when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is set to -27 dB, the detection probabilities for the navigation and communication signals increase about 11.4% and 13.5%, respectively, while the symbol error rate (SER) for the navigation and communication signals decrease about 16.3% and 17.8%, respectively.     

Multipath effects on the efficiency of interference compensation in VHF adaptive antenna systems

We consider the characteristics of signals in a multipath VHF communication channel which affect the efficiency of spatio-temporal processing of those signals. We present the results of experimental measurements of the efficiency of interference compensation with frequency-shift modulation under controlled conditions. Using the obtained data on various characteristics of the interference propagation channel, we analyze the factors decreasing the degree of compensation for such interference. We show that the multipath nature of the radio channel is the main factor leading to frequency and spatial selective fadings and uncorrelated distortions in the shape of the signal received by separated antennas.

Optimal spatial separator of signals and interference in radio communication channels. 1. Numerical simulation

We propose an optimal algorithm for separating signals with angular manipulation from interference of any type, which is based on the space-time procession of signals. The basic characteristics of such a separator are studied by the method of numerical simulation for different types of antennas with two and three spacing branches: the dependences of separation efficiency on the angular spacing of the signal and interference sources, on the power of signals received, on the separator parameters, on the interference and signal types, etc. It is shown that the considered adaptive receiver can suppress interference efficiently in an ideal communication channel.

Compact all-optical switch for WDM networks based on Raman effect in silicon nanowavegide

We propose an all-optical switching scheme based on Raman gain in a silicon nanowaveguide suitable for multichannel optical communication. Raman gain is used for amplification of a control pulse with a higher wavelength, which depletes the tuned channel signal. Separation between control and signal pulses should be equal to the Raman shift in silicon. By employing a 3 mm channel nanowaveguide, we demonstrate a channel attenuation of about 12 dB, while the suppression ratios for the first and second neighboring channels are about 1.6 dB and 1 dB, respectively. This scheme can be used as an all-optical switch in dense wavelength division multiplexing networks. Moreover, we demonstrate that the depleted channel can be retrieved by a control pulse with lower wavelength in which the pulse amplifies the channel in contrast to the prior situation.

Signal processing for noncoherent underwater acoustic communication approaching channel capacity

Noncoherent underwater acoustic communication channel in adverse conditions is modeled as a phase-random Rayleigh fading channel,and its capacity curve is derived.To approach the channel capacity curve,the concatenated code of the nonbinary LDPC code and the constant weight code is proposed for noncoherent communication which can late be iteratively decoded in the probability domain.Without information of channel amplitude or phase in the receiver,statistic parameters of the respective signal and noise bins were estimated based on the moment estimation method,the posterior probabilities of the constant weight code words were further calculated,and the nonbinary LDPC code was decoded with the nonbinary factor graph algorithm.It is verified by simulations that by utilizing the proposed concatenated code and its processing algorithm,gap to channel capacity curve is reduced by 3 dB when compared to the existing method.Underwater communication experiments were carried out in both deep ocean（vertical communication,5 km）and shallow lake（horizontal communication,near 3 km,delay spread larger than 50 ms）,in which the signal frequency band was 6 kHz to10 kHz,and the data transmission rate Was 357 bps.The proposed scheme can work properly in both experiments with a signal-to-noise ratio threshold of 2 dB.The performance of the proposed algorithm Was well verified by the experiments.

Performance of Indoor Infrared Wireless CDMA Systems with Angle Diversity

Indoor infrared communication systems is one of the possible ways of offering data rates in excess of 100 Mbit/s without the need for wiring. Multiple users can share an infrared channel by code division-multiple access (CDMA) techniques. However, the CDMA system performance is limited by both background noise and co-channel interference. In this paper we study the use of angle diversity for mitigating the effects of the noise and interference. The system considered uses on-off shift keying modulation with multibeam transmitters and imaging receivers. The overall system performance for different diversity combining techniques is evaluated and compared to a system without diversity. Numerical results for a 2-user CDMA system indicate that signal to noise and interference ratio (SNIR) improvement (over systems with no diversity) of 5 dB is obtained for at least 50% of an ensemble of 10000 sample evaluations. The generalized selection combining (GSC)--a new diversity technique yet to be implemented for infrared systems--offers the best performance even with its reduced complexity.

强混沌背景中的微弱谐波信号检测有重要的工程研究意义. 目前的检测方法主要是基于Takens理论的混沌相空间重构方法, 然而这些方法往往对信干噪比要求高, 且对高斯白噪声敏感等. 本文注意到混沌信号的二阶统计特性是不变的, 根据这个特点提出了一种基于最优滤波器的强混沌背景中的微弱谐波信号检测方法. 该方法首先构建一个数据矩阵, 在频域上对每个频率通道分别检测谐波信号, 从而将信号检测问题转化为最优化问题, 然后利用最优化理论设计滤波器, 使待检测频率通道的信号增益保持不变, 而尽量抑制其他频率通道的信号, 最后通过判断每一频率通道的输出信干噪比来检测谐波信号. 与传统方法相比, 本文方法有如下优点: 1)可以检测更低信干噪比下的微弱谐波信号; 2)可检测的信号幅度范围更大; 3)抗白噪声性能更强. 仿真结果证明了本文方法的有效性.

An optical fiber multi-function device consisting of a single gradient-index-rod lens and a multi-facet blazed reflection grating is proposed to simultaneously realize functions of wavelength demultiplexing and optical signal distribution in a multimode optical fiber transmission system. We analyzed the demultiplexing characteristics and the tolerance of optical components using the ray trace method. This device can realize not only low loss optical signal distribution but also offers improved demultiplexing characteristics in comparison with the previously proposed demultiplexer-multiposition switch.

Analysis of interference cancellation techniques in OFDMA systems employing adaptive antenna arrays

We analyze the problem of interference cancellation in OFDMA cellular communication systems employing adaptive antenna arrays at the receiver and operating in the channels with frequency-selective fading and interference from the neighboring base stations. This problem is very important for modern broadband cellular systems operating with a low coefficient of multiple use of frequencies. Under such conditions of the network deployment, the system efficiency is restricted by the level of intrachannel interference from the neighboring base stations transmitting in the same frequency channel. In this work, we analyze different methods for measuring the interference characteristics and using them for spatial processing of received signals. Five different methods for signal processing in an adaptive antenna array of the receiver are discussed. Each approach (reception method) has its own interference immunity and complexity degree. Comparative analysis of the interference immunity of the considered receivers has been performed for different frequency-channel loads and different numbers of interfering stations. Recommendations for using the considered receivers are given.

We analyze noise immunity of high-speed data transmission systems operated in a complex communication channel with frequency-selective fadings and interference from the neighboring base stations. This problem is very topical for modern orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) data transmission standards. Such digital communication systems allow one to measure the noise parameters on individual subcarriers simultaneously with reception useful signals. We perform comparative analysis of different methods for measuring the noise characteristics and using them for demodulating the coded signal. Four processing methods with different complexity and noise immunity degree are proposed for receiver signals. Characteristics of the considered receivers are compared for different channel loadings and algorithms of power control by interfering stations. Practical recommendations for using the considered receivers are given. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 50, No. 6, pp. 533–543, June 2007.     

Experimental demonstration of underwater acoustic communication using bionic signals

This paper applies dolphin whistles to covert underwater acoustic (UWA) communication and proposes a UWA communication scheme based on M-ary bionic signal coding. At the transmitter end, the scheme maps multiple information bits into a dolphin whistle through a signal selector. At the receiver end, passive time reversal mirror (PTRM) is used for channel equalization and source information is restored according to the decision of which whistle is transmitted. The scheme has high spread spectrum gain. The anti multi-path performance is greatly improved when using PTRM. Different from traditional covert UWA communication methods, this mimicked signal is unlikely to alert an adversary even in high SNRs because of its real existence in marine environment. A tank experiment is conducted for the scheme, at communication rate of 50 bit/s with SNR −5 dB user information is recovered at a very low bit error rate. The results of tank experiment demonstrate the feasibility of this covert UWA communication scheme.
