Effect of phase noise in an OFDM/OQAM system

The performance of an OFDM/OQAM system under phase noise is analyzed. The analysis helps to direct the design of low cost tuners through specifying the required phase noise characteristics. Discrete time formulation of OFDM/OQAM is first derived with the square root raised cosine (SRRC) filter as the pulse-shaping filter. Then the effect of multiplicative phase noise is equivalently represented as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), the variance of which is given analytically. We can observe that the same result as OFDM/QAM system is derived. Lastly, all the analytical results are verified by the bit error rate (BER) degradation through Monte Carlo simulation.

A simple channel estimator for space-time coded OFDM systems in rapid fading channels

A simple channel estimator for space-time coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in rapid fading channels is proposed. The channels at the training bauds are estimated using the EM (expectation-maximization) algorithm, while the channels at the data bauds are estimated based on the method for modelling the time-varying channel as the linear combination of several time-invariant " Doppler channels". Computer simulations showed that this estimator outperforms the decision-directed tracking in rapid fading channels and that the performance of this method can be improved by iteration.

Blind receiver for OFDM systems via sequential Monte Carlo in factor graphs

Estimation and detection algorithms for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems can be de-veloped based on the sum-product algorithms, which operate by message passing in factor graphs. In this paper, we apply the sampling method (Monte Carlo) to factor graphs, and then the integrals in the sum-product algorithm can be approximated by sums, which results in complexity reduction. The blind receiver for OFDM systems can be derived via Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) in factor graphs, the previous SMC blind receiver can be regarded as the special case of the sum-product algorithms using sampling methods. The previous SMC blind receiver for OFDM systems needs generating samples of the channel vector assuming the channel has an a priori Gaussian distribution. In the newly-built blind receiver, we generate samples of the virtual-pilots instead of the channel vector, with channel vector which can be easily computed based on virtual-pilots. As the size of the vir-tual-pilots space is much smaller than the channel vector space, only small number of samples are necessary, with the blind de-tection being much simpler. Furthermore, only one pilot tone is needed to resolve phase ambiguity and differential encoding is not used anymore. Finally, the results of computer simulations demonstrate that the proposal can perform well while providing sig-nificant complexity reduction.

Numerical study and acceleration of LBM-RANS simulation of turbulent flow

The coupled models of LBM （Lattice Boltzmann Method） and RANS （Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes） are more practical for the transient simulation of mixing processes at large spatial and temporal scales such as crude oil mixing in large-diameter storage tanks. To keep the efficiency of parallel computation of LBM, the RANS model should also be explicitly solved; whereas to keep the numerical stability the implicit method should be better for PANS model. This article explores the numerical stability of explicit methods in 2D cases on one hand, and on the other hand how to accelerate the computation of the coupled model of LBM and an implicitly solved RANS model in 3D cases. To ensure the numerical stability and meanwhile avoid the use of empirical artificial lim- itations on turbulent quantities in 2D cases, we investigated the impacts of collision models in LBM （LBGK, MRT） and the numerical schemes for convection terms （WENO, TVD） and production terms （FDM, NEQM） in an explic- itly solved standard k-e model. The combination of MRT and TVD or MRT and NEQM can be screened out for the 2D simulation of backward-facing step flow even at Re = 107. This scheme combination, however, may still not guarantee the numerical stability in 3D cases and hence much finer grids are required, which is not suitable for the simulation of industrial-scale processes.Then we proposed a new method to accelerate the coupled model of LBM with RANS （implicitly solved）. When implemented on multiple GPUs, this new method can achieve 13.5-fold accelera- tion relative to the original coupled model and 40-fold acceleration compared to the traditional CFD simulation based on Finite Volume （FV） method accelerated by multiple CPUs. This study provides the basis for the transient flow simulation of larger spatial and temporal scales in industrial applications with LBM-RANS methods.

Comparison of Node Architectures for Elastic Optical Networks with Waveband Conversion

In Elastic Optical Networks(EONs)with flexible bandwidth allocation,the blocking probability is high because of spectral contention.Similar to the functionality of wavelength conversion in Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing(WDM)networks,waveband conversion has been proposed to solve spectral contention in EONs.In this paper,we discuss the design of node architectures for an EON with waveband conversion.Four node architectures with shared Tuneable Waveband Converters(TWBCs)are proposed,and their blocking performances are evaluated by simulation.Simulation results show that the blocking probability of a node is significantly improved by waveband conversion.The sharing efficiency of waveband converters is also investigated.Simulation results show that at the same blocking rate,the node architecture with converters shared per node can save more than 20% waveband converters compared with that of the one with converters shared per link.

Dynamic Energy Saving Subcarrier, Bit and Power Allocation in OFDMA Relay Networks

To reduce energy consumption while maintaining users＇ Quality of Service （QoS） in Orthogonal Frequency Division Mul- tiplex Access （OFDMA） relay-enhanced net- works, an adaptive energy saving subcarrier, bit and power allocation scheme is presented. The optimal subcarrier, bit and power alloca- tion problems based on discrete adaptive modula- tion and coding scheme have been previously formulated for relay-enhanced networks, and have been reformulated into and solved by integer programming in optimization theory. If the system still has a surplus of subcarriers after resource allocation, we carry out Band- width Exchange （BE） to enable more subcar- riers to participate in transmission to save en- ergy. In addition, as the relay selection scheme is closely linked with heuristic energy saving resource allocation, a relay selection scheme is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm consumes less energy when transmitting the same number of bits than greedy energy saving schemes, although its spectrum efficiency is worse.

An improved channel estimation with multipath search for MIMO-OFDM systems

This paper addresses the problem of channel estimation for broadband MIMO-OFDM systems. An improved channel estimator with multipath time delay detection and channel gain estimation is proposed. In the algorithm, we used the correlation of the channel taps and a well-designed adjustment scheme to increase the accuracy of the time delay detection. The most attractive advantage is that the complicated matrix calculation is replaced by search steps which can acquire the channel order and estimate the channel parameters without significantly increasing the complexity of the system. Computer simulation showed that the proposed algorithm can track the time delays adaptively and, consequently, improve the channel estimation performance.

Evolution to 200G Passive Optical Network

New generation passive optical network aims at providing more than 100 Gb/s capacity. Thanks to recent progress enabling a variety of optical transceivers up to 40 Gb/s, many evolution possibilities to 200G PONs （passive optical network） could be investigated. This work proposes two directly deployable cases of evolution to 200G PON based on the combination of these improved optical transceivers and WDM （wavelength division multiplexing）. The physical layer of the optical network has been simulated with OptiSystem software to show the communication links performances behavior when considering key components parameters in order to achieve good network design for a given area. The complexity of the proposed architectures and financial cost comparisons are also discussed.

Multichannel Adaptive Polarization Mode Dispersion Compensation with One Compensator in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Transmission Systems

A simple two-section polarization mode dispersion(PMD) compensator is proposed for multichannel PMD compensation, which can compensate two or even more channels simultaneously. Because of the statistical characteristics and the frequency-dependence of PMD, for current single mode fiber with moderate PMD, the probability that all channels are severely degraded at the same time is extremely small, which makes it possible to compensate a dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) transmission system with moderate PMD using this compensator. It is shown that the outage probability of a 40×43 Gb/s DWDM transmission system using this compensator is decreased significantly from 3.6×10-3 to 3.6×10-5.

A plastic surface-relief grating as a wavelength division multiplexer is designed and fabricated with the conventional mould pressing technique using the transmission-type fused quartz phase grating as mask pattern and polycarbonate as basal material.The experiment results show that in an optimizing process,the plastic surface-relief grating has the highest firstorder diffraction efficiency under adequate groove depth and incident angle,and can be used as the best optical path for wavelength division multiplexing(WDM).We also establish the experiment setup for testing the WDM performance of the plastic surface-relief grating based wavelength division multiplexer.The results show that the proposed wavelength division multiplexer has the high-stability temperature characteristics,the low insertion loss of less than 5 dB,the large isolation of greater than 20 dB,the low polarization-dependent loss(PDL) of less than 0.4 dB and the relatively steep pass-band characteristics.It is a WDM device with good performance,which can be applied in short distance communication.

Impact of Lower Boundary Condition of Richards＇ Equation on Water, Energy, and Soil Carbon Based on Coupling Land Surface and Biogeochemical Models

Soil moisture has a significant influence on water, energy, and carbon biogeochemical cycles. A numerical method for solving Richards＇ equation is usually used for simulating soil moisture. Selection of a lower boundary condition for Richards＇ equation will further affect the simulation results for soil moisture, water cycle, energy balance, and carbon biogeochemical processes. In this study, the soil water movement dynamic sub-model of a hydrologically based land surface model, the variable infiltration capacity （VIC） model, was modified using the finite difference method （FDM） to solve a mixed form of Richards＇ equation. In addition, the VIC model was coupled with a terrestrial biogeochemical model, the Carnegie Ames Stanford Approach model of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus （CASACNP model）. The no-flux boundary （NB） and free-drainage boundary （FB） were selected to investigate their impacts on simulations of the water, energy, and soil carbon cycles based on the coupling model. The NB and FB had different influences on the water, energy, and soil carbon simulations. The water and energy simulations were more sensitive, while the soil carbon simulation was less sensitive to FB than to NB. Free-drainage boundary could result in lower soil moisture, evaporation, runoff, and heterotrophic respiration and higher surface soil temperature, sensible heat flux, and soil carbon content. The impact of the lower boundary condition on simulation would be greater with an increase in soil permeability. In the silt loam soil case, evaporation, runoff, and soil respiration of FB were nearly 169, 13%, and 1% smaller, respectively, compared to those of NB.

A cost-effective ultra-dense WDM PON system with speed of 12.5 Gbit/s and channel spacing of 12.5 GHz

A cost-effective ultra-dense wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network(UD-WDM PON) with speed of 12.5 Gbit/s and channel spacing of 12.5 GHz is proposed and demonstrated. The distributed feedback(DFB) lasers modulated in 4-level pulse amplitude modulation(4-PAM) format are used for downstream links, and the reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers(RSOAs) together with an optical frequency comb modulated in quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) format are used for upstream links. We can achieve the error-free transmission of the upstream signals with speed of 12.5 Gbit/s even after 20 km single-mode fiber(SMF). The power penalty obtained by using the frequency comb generator instead of a tunable laser is around 0.5 d B. By using 11 DFB lasers and a set of intensity and phase modulators, it is possible to provide the seed light for 297 optical network units(ONUs) within the C-band.
