Differential phase optical time-domain reflectometry is subject to Rayleigh fading, which locally impedes proper phase extraction. We introduce in this Letter a reliability metric derived from the measured Jones matrix estimates of the fiber sensor to discriminate between true perturbations and false alarms caused by Rayleigh backscatter fading points. The proposed soft-decision metric is also of interest for further post-processing stages exploiting artificial intelligence based classifiers.

Performance Analysis of Troposphere Scattering Communication Channel with Chirp-BOK Modulation.

Entropy (Basel)

December 2024

China Academy of Space Technology (Xi'an), Xi'an 710100, China.

By utilizing chirp-BOK (binary orthogonal keying) modulation into a troposphere scattering communication system, a lower demodulation threshold can be achieved with excellent linear frequency modulation properties in a strong noise and weak signal environment. Firstly, the bit error rate (BER) formula of chirp-BOK modulation over a Rayleigh fading channel was derived theoretically. Then, the BER performance with different chirp-BOK parameters were numerically calculated.

High-capacity optical interconnects with short reach are hugely demanded driven by the exponential growth of data traffic. In this work, four-channel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) uplink/downlink twin single-sideband (twin-SSB) signals are implemented by a wavelength selective switch (WSS) at once, which simplifies the structure of multi-channel SSB transmitters and reduces the cost of high-capacity optical interconnect. Compared to a double sideband scheme, it has been experimentally proven that the performance of SSB transmission over standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) at C-band with an ultra-high baud rate has been greatly improved, which has the ability to effectively overcome the power fading induced by chromatic dispersion in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) system.

Article Synopsis
  • Multi-core fiber (MCF) is gaining attention for distributed fiber sensing because it can transmit light independently through multiple channels, reducing issues like coherent fading that affect signal quality.
  • A new method called spatial rotated-vector-average (SRVA) combines signals from these channels to effectively minimize phase noise and prevent errors in signal processing.
  • Experiments with a 2.58-km MCF demonstrated a significant reduction in fading and noise levels, leading to improved localization accuracy and reliable signal recovery, which enhances the use of MCF in long-distance sensing applications.

Unlike circular cell coverage in public land mobile communications, narrow-strip-shaped cell coverage should be considered in high-speed railway (HSR) communications. Moreover, for the coverage analysis in HSR communications, most works ignore the effect of small-scale fading, which results in an inaccurate coverage performance evaluation. In this paper, we focus on the coverage analysis for HSR communications with narrow-strip-shaped cells over the Suzuki fading channel, where the composite channel fading includes path loss, lognormal shadowing, and Rayleigh-distributed small-scale fading.

Effectively compressing transmitted images and reducing the distortion of reconstructed images are challenges in image semantic communication. This paper proposes a novel image semantic communication model that integrates a dynamic decision generation network and a generative adversarial network to address these challenges as efficiently as possible. At the transmitter, features are extracted and selected based on the channel's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using semantic encoding and a dynamic decision generation network.
