Optical Communications Comparison of hard-decision and soft-decision channel coded M-ary PPM performance over free space optical links
نویسندگان
چکیده
Error control codedM-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) can be used over free space optical links to mitigate the atmospheric attenuations and the turbulence induced fading. In this paper, we present performance analysis for coded free space optics (FSO) communication systems operating over various atmospheric conditions. We justify the selection of higher state PPM as an appropriate modulation scheme for the links and provide a comparative analysis between hard decision decoded (Reed-Solomon, RS) and soft decision decoded (Turbo) channel coded PPM over varying link conditions. Simulation results strongly indicate RScoded PPM as a robust and well-performing coded-modulation scheme for the FSO links. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Bit Error Performance of Diffuse Indoor Optical Wireless Channel PPM System Employing Artificial Neural Networks for Channel Equalization
The bit error rate (BER) performance of a pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme for non line-of-sight (LOS) indoor optical links employing channel equalization based on the artificial neural network (ANN) is reported in the paper. Channel equalization is achieved by training a multilayer perceptrons (MLP) ANN. A comparative study of the unequalized „soft‟ decision decoding and the „hard‟ decis...
متن کاملLow complexity serially concatenated coding for the deep space optical channel
We illustrate the performance of low-complexity serially concatenated codes designed for the deep space optical channel. The codes are an iteratively decoded, serial concatenation of a convolutional code with coded M-ary pulse-positionmodulation (PPM) through a bit interleaver. For M = 256 with a 4096-bit interleaver, we illustrate performance 1.2dB from capacity and gains of 2.8dB relative to ...

Lower bounds on mutual information (MI) of long-haul optical fiber systems for hard-decision and soft-decision decoding are studied. Ready-to-use expressions to calculate the MI are presented. Extensive numerical simulations are used to quantify how changes in the optical transmitter, receiver, and channel affect the achievable transmission rates of the system. Special emphasis is put to the us...
