The transmission of a 65,536-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal supported by a hybrid fiber-terahertz (THz) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system at 320 GHz is experimentally demonstrated in this Letter. We adopt the polarization division multiplexing (PDM) technique to double the spectral efficiency. Based on a 23-GBaud 16-QAM link, 2-bit delta-sigma modulation (DSM) quantization enables 65,536-QAM OFDM signal transmission over a 20-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and a 3-m 2 × 2 MIMO wireless delivery, and satisfies the hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10, corresponding to a net rate of 60.5 Gbit/s for THz-over-fiber transport. Meanwhile, below the fronthaul error vector magnitude (EVM) threshold of 0.34%, a maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 52.6 dB is achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest modulation order achievable for DSM applications in THz communication.

Since visible light communication (VLC) uses light-emitting diode (LED) as transmitters, it has dual functions of illumination and communication. To meet flexible lighting and energy-saving needs, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, dimming control scheme for spectrally efficient clipping-free multilayer optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CFMO-OFDM)-based VLC systems. In order to achieve high dynamic-range dimming control for LEDs, the time-domain CFMO-OFDM signals are first grouped based on frequency-domain subcarrier distribution.

Article Synopsis
  • Future communication systems need to handle high-speed mobile scenarios, but current OFDM technology struggles with inter-carrier interference.
  • The paper introduces a new channel estimation scheme for OTFS using CAZAC sequences, which involves multiple low-power pilots to enhance signal accuracy and reduce noise.
  • It also explores how the length of CAZAC sequences affects estimation performance, providing insights for optimizing parameters to improve future 6G communication systems.

In this Letter, an integrated deceptive sensing and secure communication scheme based on random subcarrier (RSC) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) in a photonics-assisted millimeter-wave (MMW) system is proposed. Based on chaotic encryption on bit and constellation level, the RSC-OFDM signal is used to further disturb the transmitting signal and achieve sensing deception. Moreover, to make full use of sensing function to achieve collaborative security, sensing-aided dynamic parameter (DP) encryption is designed, which uses sensing information as the random seed to get encryption DPs and sequences.

In this Letter, we propose a highly secure OFDM scheme based on multi-level masking and performance-enhanced key-accompanying transmission. Our scheme exploits a four-dimensional hyperchaotic model and uses subcarriers and symbols to scramble the signal, thereby achieving chaotic encryption and enhancing system security. The dual-mode index technique is employed to conceal the key within the encrypted signal, enabling cooperative transmission of both the key and the signal.

Decoding of polar-coded OFDM systems over multipath fading channels with interleaving and channel state information.

In this paper, we investigate the decoding performance and corresponding decoding strategies for polar-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating under multipath fading channels. Multipath fading channels lead to frequency selective fading of the OFDM signal, resulting in varying levels of noise interference across different subcarriers after equalization. Furthermore, frequency selective fading induces burst errors in the equalized information, thereby significantly degrading the decoding performance.
