Transmission performance ofN×160 Gbit s−1densely dispersion-managed optical fibre systems
2005
We carefully analyse the feasibility of N × 160 Gbit s−1 ultra-long haul transmissions in densely dispersion-managed (DDM) fibre systems. By using a novel analytical approach, we design highly optimized configurations of DDM fibre systems. Transmission performances of the analytically designed DDM fibre systems are evaluated using numerical simulations. We show that single-channel transoceanic transmissions at 160 Gbit s−1 may be achievable in DDM fibre systems, whereas multi-channel transmissions result in dramatically poor performances.
Spectral Slicing of a Supercontinuum Source for WDM/DS-OCDMA Application
2008
WDM and optical CDMA are leading contenders to easily upgrade access network performances in terms of multiple access technique. Both methods can be used at once, using a single multiwavelength optical source. We show, numerically and experimentally, that spectral slicing of a 10-GHz pulse train broadened to a supercontinuum yields pulses suitable for use in a direct sequence optical CDMA system. Simulations with optical CDMA encoders and decoders based on superstructured fiber Bragg gratings indicate good performance can be expected.
ANTARES: The first undersea neutrino telescope
2011
The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope was completed in May 2008 and is the first operational Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The main purpose of the detector is to perform neutrino astronomy and the apparatus also offers facilities for marine and Earth sciences. This paper describes the design, the construction and the installation of the telescope in the deep sea, offshore from Toulon in France. An illustration of the detector performance is given. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Joint Power Allocation and Link Selection for Multi-Carrier Buffer Aided Relay Network
2019
In this paper, we present a joint power allocation and adaptive link selection protocol for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based network consists of one source node i.e., base station (BS), one destination node i.e., (MU) and a buffer aided decode and forward (DF) relay node. Our objective is to maximize the average throughput of the system via power loading over different subcarriers at source and relay nodes. A separate power budget is assumed at each transmitting node to make the system more practical. In order to form our solution more tractable, a decomposition framework is implemented to solve the mixed integer optimization problem. Further, less complex suboptim…
Energy efficient resource allocation for secure OFDMA relay systems with eavesdropper
2016
In this paper, we address the energy efficient resource allocation problem for a secure orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) relay system. In particular, we consider there is a eavesdropper near the base station (BS) which tries to overtake the information sent by BS. We formulate the joint optimization problem with the objective to optimize the energy efficiency of the considered system by considering subcarrier pairing, secret data rate and power allocation. In addition, the system can assign different priority to different users such that the security of information transmission can be guaranteed. The proposed iterative algorithm not only maximizes the system energy effi…
Joint Spectral and Energy Efficiency Optimization for Downlink NOMA Networks
2020
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) holds the promise to be a key enabler of 5G communication. However, the existing design of NOMA systems must be optimized to achieve maximum rate while using minimum transmit power. To do so, this paper provides a novel technique based on multi-objective optimization to efficiently allocate resources in the multi-user NOMA systems supporting downlink transmission. Specifically, our unique optimization technique jointly improves spectrum and energy efficiency while satisfying the constraints on users quality of services (QoS) requirements, transmit power budget and successive interference cancellation. We first formulate a joint problem for spectrum and …
Oral, facial, digital, vertebral anomalies with psychomotor delay: a mild form of OFD type Gabrielli?
2002
A girl with oral, facial, and digital anomalies presented at birth with a large cleft palate filled by a nasopharyngeal mass and was found later to have several vertebral anomalies and mental retardation. A similar phenotype has been previously reported in a sporadic male patient [Gabrielli et al., 1994: Am J Med Genet 53:290-293], suggesting a new variant form of oral-facial-digital syndrome.
Blind source separation based interference suppression schemes for OFDM and DS-CDMA
2015
In statistical wireless signal processing, extraction of unobserved signals from observed mixtures can be achieved using Blind Source Separation (BSS) algorithms. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) can be pronounced as the well established predominant air interface communication techniques. Consequences of an effort taken and counteractive solutions to diminish the undesirable influences encountered within the wireless air interface of those techniques with aid of BSS schemes are disclosed. Filter coefficients for the receiver are ascertained with the support of a set of energy functions and the iterative fixed point…
Efficient Simulation of Orthogonal Multicarrier Transmission over Multipath Fading Channels
2011
Filterbank orthogonal multicarrier transmission schemes, such as OFDM/OQAM, are currently under intense study for their spectral efficiency and suitability for the physical layer of Cognitive Radio. Nonetheless, the mathematical description of the signal is cumbersome, and closed form expressions for performance figures are not available, so performance analysis on fading channels has to be performed by means of simulations. We propose an algorithm for simulating the received signal over multipath frequency selective fading channels, based on Taylor series expansion of the channel transfer function. The proposed method is compared to the state-of-the-art FFT-based method in terms of computa…
A 16QAM super-orthogonal space-frequency code for broadband mobile communication systems with two transmit antennas
2010
We combine our previously designed 32-state super-orthogonal space-time trellis code (SOSTTC) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to build a broadband mobile communication system having a spectral efficiency that amounts to 4 bits/s/Hz depending on the length of the cyclic prefix used to avoid interframe interference. The transmitter is equipped with two antennas, where the OFDM frames they transmit are not independent, as they carry the same information in an orthogonal form. The 2N OFDM tones are grouped in N pairs of tones. Each group of two tones transmits the entries of a 2×2 orthogonal matrix. In our case, the entries are symbols taken from the rectangular 16-point …
