High Frequency Communication Network with Diversity: System Structure and Key Enabling Techniques

High frequency sky wave communication suffers from poor performance including poor link quality and low link success rate. To enhance performance, diversity technology is proposed in the high frequency communication network(HFCN) in this paper.First, we present the benefits and the challenges by introducing diversity technology into the existing HFCN. Secondly, to exploit the benefits fully and overcome the challenges, we propose a system structure suitable for deploying diversity technology in HFCN in large scale,based on the cloud radio access network and software defined network. Moreover, we present a general structure for the real-time updating frequency management system that plays a more important role especially when resource consuming(e.g., frequency) diversity technology is deployed. Thirdly, we investigate the key techniques enabling diversity technology deployment. Finally, we point out the future research directions to help the HFCN with diversity work more efficiently and intelligently.

Frequency Offset Compensation for Satellite Communication System with CE-OFDM

Constant envelope orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CE-OFDM) is a waveform that can achieve 0d B peak-to-average power ratio and avoid the signal distortion caused by the nonlinear power amplifi er. However, the carrier frequency offset(CFO) in CE-OFDM systems can cause errors at phase unwrapper module. In this paper, a CFO estimation scheme is proposed for CEOFDM in satellite communication system. As the null subcarrier is inherent in the conjugate symmetric symbol structure at the transmitter, the proposed scheme uses the null subcarrier as prior information to estimate the CFO at the receiver. The ideal estimation range of normalized CFO is obtained by mathematical analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can estimate the CFO accurately under additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel and multipath fading channel, especially for moderate and high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).

New Channel Simulator for Adaptive HF Communication Systems

The high frequency (HF) channel simulators with time-varying parameters based on the Watterson model are analyzed. The methods of simulating the HF channel with time-varying parameters are proposed. The linearly time-varying delay spread is introduced into the channel simulators to simulate the transition states between two channel modes of CCIR520-1. Two signals, including a 500 Hz and a 1 000 Hz bandwidth signal are respectively input into the standard Watterson HF channel model and the proposed channel model with time-varying parameters. Some simulation results prove that the proposed HF channel model with time-varying parameters can reflect the time-varying characteristics of frequency selected fading of HF channel.

Towards 10 Gb/s orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based visible light communication using a GaN violet micro-LED

Visible light communication(VLC)is a promising solution to the increasing demands for wireless connectivity.Gallium nitride micro-sized light emitting diodes(micro-LEDs)are strong candidates for VLC due to their high bandwidths.Segmented violet micro-LEDs are reported in this work with electrical-to-optical bandwidths up to 655 MHz.An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based VLC system with adaptive bit and energy loading is demonstrated,and a data transmission rate of 11.95 Gb/s is achieved with a violet micro-LED,when the nonlinear distortion of the micro-LED is the dominant noise source of the VLC system.A record 7.91 Gb/s data transmission rate is reported below the forward error correction threshold using a single pixel of the segmented array when all the noise sources of the VLC system are present.

High frequency（HF）transmission is an important communication techniques.However,conven-tional point-to-point transmission can be easily destroyed,which limits its utilization in practice.HF networking communication has the capability against demolishment.The network structure is one of the key factors for HF networking communication.In this paper,a novel analysis method of the network connectedness based on the eigenvalue is derived,and a multi-layer distributed HF radio network structure is proposed.Both the theore-tical analysis and the computer simulation results verify that the application of the proposed network structure in the HF radio communication can improve the anti-demolishment ability of the HF network efficiently.
