Outage Probability Analysis of Free Space Communication System Using Diversity Combining Techniques

Recently,free space optical(FSO)communication is gaining much attention towards the research community.The reason for this attention is the promises of high data-rate,license-free deployment,and non-interfering links.It can,however,give rise to major system difficulties concerning alignment and atmospheric turbulence.FSO is the degradation in the signal quality because of atmospheric channel impairments and conditions.The worst effect is due to fog particles.Though,Radio Frequency(RF)links are able to transmit the data in foggy conditions but not in rain.To overcome these issues related to both the FSO and RF links.A free space communication system(FSCS)is proposed,in which the hybrid technology is based on the individual FSO and RF channel.FSCS is a capable solution to overcome the difficulties of the existing systems(FSO and RF)as well as to enhance the overall link reliability and availability.In this paper,FSCS is investigated in terms of performance throughput(i.e.,outage probability and bit-error-rate(BER))by implementing the receive diversity combining techniques.An analysis of the outage probability of the proposed system along with the individual FSO and RF system is developed.Simulation results are presented to support the analysis.It is shown that the proposed system outperforms the individual FSO andRF system and gives a power gain of 3dB over a distinct number of receive antennas.

Design and Simulation of an Audio Signal Alerting and Automatic Control System

A large part of our daily lives is spent with audio information. Massive obstacles are frequently presented by the colossal amounts of acoustic information and the incredibly quick processing times. This results in the need for applications and methodologies that are capable of automatically analyzing these contents. These technologies can be applied in automatic contentanalysis and emergency response systems. Breaks in manual communication usually occur in emergencies leading to accidents and equipment damage. The audio signal does a good job by sending a signal underground, which warrants action from an emergency management team at the surface. This paper, therefore, seeks to design and simulate an audio signal alerting and automatic control system using Unity Pro XL to substitute manual communication of emergencies and manual control of equipment. Sound data were trained using the neural network technique of machine learning. The metrics used are Fast Fourier transform magnitude, zero crossing rate, root mean square, and percentage error. Sounds were detected with an error of approximately 17%;thus, the system can detect sounds with an accuracy of 83%. With more data training, the system can detect sounds with minimal or no error. The paper, therefore, has critical policy implications about communication, safety, and health for underground mine.

Signal processing for noncoherent underwater acoustic communication approaching channel capacity

Noncoherent underwater acoustic communication channel in adverse conditions is modeled as a phase-random Rayleigh fading channel,and its capacity curve is derived.To approach the channel capacity curve,the concatenated code of the nonbinary LDPC code and the constant weight code is proposed for noncoherent communication which can late be iteratively decoded in the probability domain.Without information of channel amplitude or phase in the receiver,statistic parameters of the respective signal and noise bins were estimated based on the moment estimation method,the posterior probabilities of the constant weight code words were further calculated,and the nonbinary LDPC code was decoded with the nonbinary factor graph algorithm.It is verified by simulations that by utilizing the proposed concatenated code and its processing algorithm,gap to channel capacity curve is reduced by 3 dB when compared to the existing method.Underwater communication experiments were carried out in both deep ocean（vertical communication,5 km）and shallow lake（horizontal communication,near 3 km,delay spread larger than 50 ms）,in which the signal frequency band was 6 kHz to10 kHz,and the data transmission rate Was 357 bps.The proposed scheme can work properly in both experiments with a signal-to-noise ratio threshold of 2 dB.The performance of the proposed algorithm Was well verified by the experiments.

High Performance Speech Compression System

Since Pulse Code Modulation emerged in 1937, digitized speech has experienced rapid development due to its outstanding voice quality, reliability, robustness and security in communication. But how to reduce channel width without loss of speech quality remains a crucial problem in speech coding theory. A new full-duplex digital speech communication system based on the Vocoder of AMBE-1000(TM) and microcontroller ATMEL 89C51 is introduced. It shows higher voice quality than current mobile phone system with only a quarter of channel width needed for the latter. The prospective areas in which the system can be applied include satellite communication, IP Phone, virtual meeting and the most important, defence industry.

Construction of type-Ⅱ QC-LDPC codes with fast encoding based on perfect cyclic difference sets

In view of the problems that the encoding complexity of quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check(QC-LDPC) codes is high and the minimum distance is not large enough which leads to the degradation of the error-correction performance, the new irregular type-Ⅱ QC-LDPC codes based on perfect cyclic difference sets(CDSs) are constructed. The parity check matrices of these type-Ⅱ QC-LDPC codes consist of the zero matrices with weight of 0, the circulant permutation matrices(CPMs) with weight of 1 and the circulant matrices with weight of 2(W2CMs). The introduction of W2CMs in parity check matrices makes it possible to achieve the larger minimum distance which can improve the error-correction performance of the codes. The Tanner graphs of these codes have no girth-4, thus they have the excellent decoding convergence characteristics. In addition, because the parity check matrices have the quasi-dual diagonal structure, the fast encoding algorithm can reduce the encoding complexity effectively. Simulation results show that the new type-Ⅱ QC-LDPC codes can achieve a more excellent error-correction performance and have no error floor phenomenon over the additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel with sum-product algorithm(SPA) iterative decoding.

Research on the transmission performance of turbo codes in DDO-OFDM system

A direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(DDO-OFDM)system using turbo codes is built,and the transmission performance comparison between coded system and uncoded system is analyzed.Three decoding algorithms,which are Log-maximum a posteriori(MAP),Max-Log-MAP and threshold Max-Log-MAP,are used in the turbo coded system.By comparing three decoding algorithms,the system using Max-Log-MAP algorithm has the best bit error rate(BER)performance.At the transmission distance of 240 km,the uncoded system with transmission rate of 30 Gbit/s can get the BER performance at the degree of 8.93×10-3 with optical signal to noise ratio(OSNR)of24 d B,while the turbo coded system with transmission rate of 50 Gbit/s can achieve it within OSNR of 20 d B.

A novel repetition space-time coding scheme for mobile FSO systems

Considering the influence of more random atmospheric turbulence, worse pointing errors and highly dynamic link on the transmission performance of mobile multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） free space optics （FSO） communica- tion systems, this paper establishes a channel model for the mobile platform. Based on the combination of Alamouti space-time code and time hopping ultra-wide band （TH-UWB） communications, a novel repetition space-time coding （RSTC） method for mobile 2x2 free-space optical communications with pulse position modulation （PPM） is devel- oped. In particular, two decoding methods of equal gain combining （EGC） maximum likelihood detection （MLD） and correlation matrix detection （CMD） are derived. When a quasi-static fading and weak turbulence channel model are considered, simulation results show that whether the channel state information （CSI） is known or not, the coding sys- tem demonstrates more significant performance of the symbol error rate （SER） than the uncoding. In other words, transmitting diversity can be achieved while conveying the information only through the time delays of the modulated signals transmitted from different antennas. CMD has almost the same effect of signal combining with maximal ratio combining （MRC）. However, when the channel correlation increases, SER performance of the coding 2×2 system de- grades significantly.

Un système de signaux maritimes:Saussure’s Example of a Visual Code

Saussure regarded nautical flag signalling codes as a prime example of semiological systems.They have something in common with language(e.g.,the principle of arbitrariness)but also some distinctive features(for instance,visual signifiers are unlike auditory ones in being able to deploy different features at the same time,such as shape and colour).The best-known example is the International Code of Signals(ICS).The system as it was during Saussure’s lifetime is explained with reference to his scattered observations,such as that a signal flag is merely“un morceau d’étoffe”until it is brought into use according to the prescriptions of the code shared by its users.Some commentators at the time envisaged this form of visual communication as a“universal language”.However,it is based on a restricted code,lacking the semantic universality of natural language.Each flag represents a letter,and combinations of flags represent predefined wordings in a“code book”.Such visual codes therefore depend on the prior existence of natural languages into and out of which they can be translated.
