Cascaded Multiwire-PLC/Multiple-VLC System: Characterization and Performance

This paper proposes a cascaded multiwire-power line communication (PLC)/multiple-visible light communication (VLC) system. This hybrid architecture offers low installation cost, enhanced performance, practical feasibility, and a wide range of applications. Novel analytical expressions are derived for key statistics and outage probability, bit error probability, and ergodic channel capacity metrics. Furthermore, the analytical results are validated through Monte Carlo simulations, with several performance curves presented under various channel and PLC/VLC system parameters. All expressions derived in this work are original and have not been previously published. Our proposed system proves feasible for smart environments, green communication systems, internet of things networks, industrial environments, and next-generation networks.

Perturbation-based FEC-assisted Iterative Nonlinearity Compensation for WDM Systems

A perturbation-based nonlinear compensation scheme assisted by a feedback from the forward error correction (FEC) decoder is numerically and experimentally investigated. It is shown by numerical simulations and transmission experiments that a feedback from the FEC decoder enables improved compensation performance, allowing the receiver to operate very close to the full data-aided performance bounds. The experimental analysis considers the dispersion uncompensated transmission of a 5 x 32 GBd WDM system with DP-16QAM and DP-64QAM after 4200 km and 1120 km, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms single-channel digital backpropagation.

Constellation Shaping for WDM systems using 256QAM/1024QAM with Probabilistic Optimization

In this paper, probabilistic shaping is numerically and experimentally investigated for increasing the transmission reach of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication system employing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). An optimized probability mass function (PMF) of the QAM symbols is first found from a modified Blahut-Arimoto algorithm for the optical channel. A turbo coded bit interleaved coded modulation system is then applied, which relies on many-to-one labeling to achieve the desired PMF, thereby achieving shaping gain. Pilot symbols at rate at most 2% are used for synchronization and equalization, making it possible to receive input constellations as large as 1024QAM. The system is evaluated experimentally on a 10 GBaud, 5 channels WDM setup. The maximum system reach is increased w.r.t. standard 1024QAM by 20% at input data rate of 4.65 bits/symbol and up to 75% at 5.46 bits/symbol. It is shown that rate adaptation does not require changing of the modulation format. The performance of the proposed 1024QAM shaped system is validated on all 5 channels of the WDM signal for selected distances and rates. Finally, it was shown via EXIT charts and BER analysis that iterative demapping, while generally beneficial to the system, is not a requirement for achieving the shaping gain.
