Error probability of the data transmission in mimo systems with space-division multiple access in Rayleigh fading environments

We consider multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems with adaptive antenna arrays at both ends of the link in which the data transmission is performed via parallel eigenchannels matched to the random spatial channel. The effectiveness of the projection method of space-division multiple access is studied. The method does not require estimation of the arrival directions of signals and is based on orthogonalization of all eigenchannels. Exact analytical expressions are obtained for the bit-error probability during the data transmission via the channel with uncorrelated Rayleigh fading of signals in an MIMO system with an arbitrary number of users and antennas. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 49, No. 9, pp. 816–828, September 2006.     

Effectiveness of Space-Division Multiple-Access in MIMO Communication Systems with Parallel Data Transmission

We consider multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular communication systems with antenna arrays at both link ends and data transmission via parallel eigenchannels matched with a random spatial channel. We analyze the effectiveness of the space-division multiple-access (SDMA) method, which does not require estimation of signal-arrival directions and is based on orthogonalization of the parallel channels of all users. We obtained approximate analytical expressions for the mean ratio of the signal power to the noise power and the MIMO system capacity, which are derived for the case of Rayleigh fading of signals. Although the obtained formulas are much simpler than the exact ones, they ensure high accuracy for an arbitrary number of transmitting and receiving antennas and an arbitrary power of transmitter. Our results demonstrate the high effectiveness of the proposed SDMA method.     

Space Division Multiple Access in MIMO Systems with Parallel Data Transmission

We study multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular communication systems with antenna arrays at both link ends and parallel channels for data transmission. These channels (the so-called eigenchannels) are formed with the help of adaptive transmitting and receiving beamformer processors matched with a random fading environment. To increase the capacity of MIMO systems, we propose a space-division multiple-access (SDMA) method, which does not require estimation of signal-arrival directions and is based on orthogonalization of the parallel channels of all users. We find the signal-to-noise ratios at the eigenchannel outputs and the total capacity of a MIMO system in the case of simultaneous servicing of an arbitrary number of users. We present numerical results for the case of Rayleigh fading of signals, which confirm the high effectiveness of the proposed SDMA method.     

Reduction of Bit Error Probability during Parallel Transmission of Information in a MIMO System

We consider cellular communication systems with antenna arrays at both link ends, in which the data transmission is performed via parallel eigenchannels under conditions of a scattering medium. To reduce the bit error probability, we propose a method of information transmission based on the use of only part of the eigenchannels with maximum signal-to-noise ratios and ensuring a tradeoff of the data-transmission rate against the bit-error probability. Eigenchannels are separated into energy-strong and energy-weak channels with the help of the threshold technique. Two possible versions of using the proposed method under conditions of a random multipath spatial channel are studied. The results of numerical simulation in the case of Rayleigh fading of signals confirm the high efficiency of the proposed method of information transmission.     

Crosstalk in a bidirectional optical fiber

Abstract

Full-duplex communications in a single optical fiber is both feasible and practical in certain applications. The main problem is crosstalk between the two directions. This paper reviews the sources of crosstalk, gives its magnitude, and describes techniques to reduce crosstalk. An example is a system that requires 75 optical dB of isolation between transmitted and received signals at each terminal. There are two sources of optical crosstalk. The first occurs in components such as couplers and connectors and can be held below 50 dB by careful design. The second is Rayleigh scattering within the fiber, which increases system noise as well as crosstalk between counterdirectional signals.     

Quantum MIMO Communication Scheme Based on Quantum Teleportation with Triplet States

A novel quantum MIMO communication scheme is proposed by generalizing the wireless communication technique to the quantum field. The MIMO quantum teleportation can be implemented with triplet states in order to enhance the capacity and fidelity of the quantum channel, in which an n-qubit sequence of quantum signals can be transmitted through the MIMO quantum channel by applying the diversity technique. The quantum noise filtering is involved before the quantum signals are outputted. The analysis and discussions demonstrate that the quantum MIMO teleportation can be performed securely with high capacity and fidelity.

Evaluation of Transparent Optical Network Performance in Presence of Incoherent Homodyne Crosstalk

Abstract

A simple method to evaluate the performance of transparent optical networks (TON) that takes into account the incoherent homodyne crosstalk, signal distortion, inter-symbol interference (ISI), amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise, and arbitrary optical and electrical filters is proposed. This method combines the effect of the incoherent homodyne crosstalk with an exhaustive Gaussian approximation for the influence of ASE noise, signal distortion, and ISI. It is shown that the incoherent homodyne crosstalk penalty depends on the ASE noise accumulated in the TON, ISI, and extinction ratio. The proposed method estimates are compared with experimental results published by other authors. Good agreement is observed for one, two, and four incoherent homodyne crosstalk signals, revealing that the proposed method provides accurate estimates even when the methods based on a Gaussian approximation for the incoherent homodyne crosstalk fail. The proposed method is used to assess the performance of a TON composed by optical add-drop multiplexers based on arrayed waveguide gratings. Results reveal that incoherent homodyne crosstalk, ASE noise, and ISI impair the TON performance and, therefore, none can be neglected in the TON design.     

An overview of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in massive MIMO networks: A resource allocation perspective

Providing a stable and perpetual source of energy to charge battery-powered wireless communication devices is viewed as a major challenge in wireless communication systems. This challenge leads to the trending research area where radio frequency signals are being exploited for energy harvesting purposes. The technique for achieving this is known as simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). In recent studies on SWIPT, the massive Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) aided energy harvesting has attracted considerable attention from the research community. This can be attributed to the high energy delivery rate of massive MIMO antenna systems due to their capacity to focus transmitted signals in the direction of the intended receivers. However, SWIPT in massive MIMO networks requires an optimal design to achieve a proper balance between different conflicting network objectives. In this article, we aim to discuss various contributions to SWIPT in massive MIMO networks in order to address critical design issues. In particular, we focus on the widely adopted approach to resolving SWIPT-related issues in massive MIMO networks, that is, the resource allocation design. We also extend our discussion to studies dedicated to solving critical design challenges. In this regard, we take into consideration the energy efficiency and security aspect of the system design. Finally, we identify potential areas that can be explored for future research work.     

Secondary electron emission from thin carbon films

For the purpose of investigating how secondary electrons are produced in carbon, the correlation between energy-loss events and secondary electrons was studied experimentally by using the coincidence method. If a secondary electron is detected in coincidence with an electron transmitted through a thin film which has lost an amount of energy E, then the process causing this energy loss results in the production of secondary electrons. We established the existence of these coincidences and have taken inelastic and coincidence spectra for films of different thickness. We found that in carbon secondary electrons are predominantly produced as a result of energy losses of about 20 eV, with an efficiency of about 5%. The escape depth of secondary electrons was also estimated to be approximately 30 Å.

Spectral efficient hybrid wireless optical broadband access network (WOBAN) based on transmission of wireless MIMO OFDM signals over WDM PON

In this paper, a spectral efficient hybrid wireless optical broadband access network (WOBAN) is proposed and demonstrated based on the transmission of wireless multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO OFDM) signals over wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM PON). By using radio over fiber (ROF) techniques, the optical fiber is well adapted to propagate multiple wireless services having different carrier frequencies. It is a known fact that multiple wireless signals having the same carrier frequency cannot propagate over a single optical fiber at the same time, such as MIMO signals feeding multiple antennas in fiber wireless (FiWi) system. A novel optical single-sideband frequency translation technique is designed and simulated to solve this problem. This technique allows four pairs of wireless MIMO OFDM signals with the same carrier frequency for each pair to be transmitted over a single optical fiber by using one optical source per wavelength. The crosstalk between the different MIMO channels with the same frequency is eliminated, since each channel is upconverted on specified wavelength with enough channel spacing between them. Also the maximum crosstalk level between the different MIMO channels with different frequencies is very low around ?76 dB. The physical layer performance of the proposed WOBAN is analyzed in terms of the bit error rate (BER), error vector magnitude (EVM), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The proposed WOBAN achieves 7.68 Gb/s data rate for 20 km for the optical back-end and 240 Mb/s for the outdoor wireless front-end.     

A low complexity burst channel estimation algorithm for FDD massive MIMO systems

To fully attain array gains of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and its energy and spectral efficiency, deriving channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS) side is essential. However, CSI estimation of frequency-division duplex (FDD) based massive MIMO is a challenging task owning to the required pilots, which are proportional to the number of antennas at the BS side. Therefore, the pilot overhead should be inevitably mitigated in the process of downlink channel estimation of FDD technique. In this paper, we propose a novel compressed sensing (CS) algorithm which takes advantage of correlation between the received and transmitted signals to estimate the channel with high precision, and moreover, to reduce the computational complexity imposed on the BS side. The main idea behind the proposed algorithm is to sort the specific number of maximum correlations as a common support in each iteration of the algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm is capable of estimating downlink channel better than the counterpart algorithms in terms of mean square error (MSE) and the computational complexity. Meanwhile, the complexity of the proposed method linearly grows up when the number of BS antennas increases.     

Design of Header Recognition Filter for Binary Phase Shift Keying in Header Recognition Unit using Time-Space Conversion

Optical header recognition is one key function that enables ultrafast optical routing in photonic packet-switched networks. Especially, optical header recognition based on optical correlation processing has attracted much attention. Header signals using optical codes are decoded using optical correlation processing. We improve the decoding method for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) header signals in order to suppress crosstalk caused by matched filtering in the header recognition unit. We design a header recognition filter using the technique of a multiple-object discriminant filter (MODF). Results of preliminary experiments show that the designed header recognition filter can suppress crosstalk. The intensity ratio of correlation signals of a target header signal to non-target ones is higher than 1.95 : 1 in case of 4-bits BPSK header signals.     

Absorption of intense regular and noise waves in relaxing media

An integro-differential equation is written down that contains terms responsible for nonlinear absorption, visco-heat-conducting dissipation, and relaxation processes in a medium. A general integral expression is obtained for calculating energy losses of the wave with arbitrary characteristics—intensity, profile (frequency spectrum), and kernel describing the internal dynamics of the medium. It is shown that for weak waves, the general integral leads to well-known results of a linear approximation. Profiles of stationary solutions are constructed both for an exponential relaxation kernel and for other types of kernels. Energy losses at the front of week shock waves are calculated. General integral formulas are obtained for energy losses of intense noise, which are determined by the form of the kernel, the structure of the noise correlation function, and the mean square of the derivative of realization of a random process.

Design of a Label Recognition Filter for Crosstalk Suppression in a Label Recognition Unit using Optical Correlation Assuming the Assistance of Optical Time-Gating

To suppress crosstalk caused by matched filtering in label recognition based on optical correlation, we propose the novel design method of a label recognition filter to improve the discrimination performance. Assuming the assistance of optical time-gating, the label recognition filter is designed by a technique of a multiple-object discriminant filter (MODF) so that the crosstalk can be suppressed only at the center of correlation signals. This method can reduce the requirement for the performance of an optical thresholder. Simulation results show that the designed label recognition filter can successfully suppress the crosstalk.     

Characterization of distributed mode crosstalk in few-mode fiber links with low MIMO complexity

We theoretically model and numerically analyze the linear behavior of distributed mode crosstalk in a step-index weakly-coupled 7-mode fiber. This fiber is assumed to be used for one-polarization uncoupled mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems with: (1) sparse MIMO equalizers which are performed over only degenerate LP modes, or (2) one single differential mode delay-independent MIMO equalizer which is performed over all non-degenerate LP modes. For the above two low-complexity MIMO configuration schemes, the impacts of distributed mode coupling on the multi-path interference-dependent achievable distance and system quality are empirically evaluated, through the numerical simulations for uncoupled MDM transmissions of a single-channel 28 GBaud QPSK signal over the fiber.

In distributed optical fiber Raman amplifiers,instantaneous pump power depletion is related to patterns of input DWDM signals and results in extra optical noise and crosstalk.This noise has different effects on non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) pulse forms.These phenomena are compared with present simulation results.     

Theoretical and experimental investigations on coherence of traffic noise transmission through an open window into a rectangular room in high-rise buildings

A method for theoretically calculating the coherence between sound pressure inside a rectangular room in a high-rise building and that outside the open window of the room is proposed. The traffic noise transmitted into a room is generally dominated by low-frequency components, to which active noise control (ANC) technology may find an application. However, good coherence between reference and error signals is essential for an effective noise reduction and should be checked first. Based on traffic noise prediction methods, wave theory, and mode coupling theory, the results of this paper enabled one to determine the potentials and limitations of ANC used to reduce such a transmission. Experimental coherence results are shown for two similar, empty rectangular rooms located on the 17th and 30th floors of a 34 floor high-rise building. The calculated results with the proposed method are generally in good agreement with the experimental results and demonstrate the usefulness of the method for predicting the coherence.
