High-performance optical communications require a very low bit error rate (BER) down to 10-15 with soft-decision (SD) forward correction (FEC). There are several performance metrics based on soft information for systems SD-FEC, but system budgets usually described conventional Q-factor converted from pre-FEC BER, hard decision its convenience and history. In this work, enhancing the feasibility...

With the proliferation of wireless communication technologies, inter-vehicle communication (IVC) could potentially be applied to solve ever-worsening transportation problems around the world. In this paper, we study impacts of network vehicular traffic on IVC, apply IVC to route-guidance, and report preliminary field tests. These studies are intended to demonstrate the feasibility of IVC-based ...
