Novel multipath routing protocol integrated with forward error correction in MANET

In order to improve the data transmission reliability of mobile ad hoc network, a routing scheme called integrated forward error correction multipath routing protocol was proposed, which integrates the techniques of packet fragmenting and forward error correction encoding into multipath routing. The scheme works as follows: adding a certain redundancy into the original packets; fragmenting the resulting packets into exclusive blocks of the same size; encoding with the forward error correction technique, and then sending them to the destination node. When the receiving end receives a certain amount of information blocks, the original information will be recovered even with partial loss. The performance of the scheme was evaluated using OPNET modeler. The experimental results show that with the method the average transmission delay is decreased by 20% and the transmission reliability is increased by 30%.

High-speed polarization mode dispersion compensation in a 43-Gb/s RZ-DQPSK transmission system over 1200 km of standard single-mode fibre

This paper reports that the designed optical polarization mode dispersion compensator shows a good performance under the real-time variation of differential group delay, state of polarization and principal state of polarization in a （40×43）-Gb/s dense-wavelength-multiplexing, 1200-km enhanced return-to-zero differential-quadrature-phase-shift- keying （RZ-DQPSK） system. The polarization mode dispersion tolerance of the system is improved by 26 ps using the optical polarization mode dispersion compensator. The short and long time stabilities are tested with the bit error ratio recorded.

Improved FEC Code Based on Concatenated Code for Optical Transmission Systems

The improved three novel schemes of the super forward error correction （super-FEC） concatenated codes are proposed after the development trend of long-haul optical transmission systems and the defects of the existing FEC codes have been analyzed. The performance simulation of the Reed-Solomon（RS）＋ Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocguenghem（BCH） inner-outer serial concatenated code is implemented and the conceptions of encoding/decoding the parallel-concatenated code are presented. Furthermore, the simulation results for the RS（255,239） ＋RS（255,239） code and the RS（255,239） ＋RS（255,223） code show that the two consecutive concatenated codes are a superior coding scheme with such advantages as the better error correction, moderate redundancy and easy realization compared to the classic RS（255,239） code and other codes, and their signal to noise ratio gains are respectively 2-3 dB more than that of the RS（255,239）code at the bit error rate of 1 × 10^-13. Finally, the frame structure of the novel consecutive concatenated code is arranged to lay a firm foundation in designing its hardware.

Physical Layer Deterministic Network Coding Using PUM Turbo Codes over AWGN Channel, N Nodes through a Base Station Scenario

Network Coding (NC) is a recent technique which is used to improve the transmission data rate and the power efficiency. These goals are obtained by combining data together before transmitting them, resulting to less transmitted data that carry the same amount of information. NC research work over the physical layer and the upper layers are popular and needed to be more investigated. In this paper, we propose a practical system of large-number of connected multi-source network coding (LMSNC), at the physical layer that exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless channel, using the practical and bandwidth-efficient schemes decode-and-forward (DF) and then compare it with Amplify and Forward (AF). The theoretical analysis and the simulation results show the effect of the noise when it cumulates in AF system and how DF is solving this severe default. Moreover, we consider the MSNC for Small-number of connected sources (SMSNC) and the two-way communication setup where two users exchange their information over an intermediate network node (ideally called Base Station), as two reference cases to compare with. With SMSNC, the number of necessary downlink transmissions from the intermediate node to the users is reduced, and thus the throughput is increased. Simulation results obtained using high-performance non-binary turbo codes, based on Partial Unit Memory (PUM) codes (4, 2, 1, 4) and (8, 4, 3, 8);confirm that combining PUM Turbo Code (PUMTC) and NC in the proposed MSNC setup gives almost the same BER performance as that for SMSNC at the small number of processing steps mainly when PUMTC (8, 4, 3, 8) is performed, which is required to retrieve the received coded messages. In the scenario of AF, combining packets results to cumulate the noise, which justifies the reason we decided to increase the number of transmitted coded messages in the network, i.e., the BER performance improves when sending extra coded messages. Finally, the possibility for a trade-off among BER, data rate and the number of transmitted coded messages is shown for LMSNC through graphics and simulation results.

LSTM-Based Adaptive Modulation and Coding for Satellite-to-Ground Communications

Satellite communication develops rapidly due to its global coverage and is unrestricted to the ground environment. However, compared with the traditional ground TCP/IP network, a satellite-to-ground link has a more extensive round trip time(RTT) and a higher packet loss rate,which takes more time in error recovery and wastes precious channel resources. Forward error correction(FEC) is a coding method that can alleviate bit error and packet loss, but how to achieve high throughput in the dynamic network environment is still a significant challenge. Inspired by the deep learning technique, this paper proposes a signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) based adaptive coding modulation method. This method can maximize channel utilization while ensuring communication quality and is suitable for satellite-to-ground communication scenarios where the channel state changes rapidly. We predict the SNR using the long short-term memory(LSTM) network that considers the past channel status and real-time global weather. Finally, we use the optimal matching rate(OMR) to evaluate the pros and cons of each method quantitatively. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that our proposed LSTM-based method outperforms the state-of-the-art prediction algorithms significantly in mean absolute error(MAE). Moreover, it leads to the least spectrum waste.

A new concatenated code of RS（255,239）＋BCH（2 040,1 930） code to he suitable for WDM optical transmission systems is proposed. The simulation resuhs show that this new concatenated code. compared with the RS（255,239）4-CSOC（k0/n0=6/7, J= 8） code in ITU-TG. 75.1, has a lower redundancy and better error-correction performance, furthermore, its net coding gain（NCG） is respectively 0. 46 dB, 0.43 dB morethanthatofRS（255,239）＋CSOC（k0/n0= 6/7, J= 8） code and BCH（3860,3824）＋BCH （2 040,1 930） code in ITU TG. 75. 1 at the third iteration for the bit error rate（BER） of 10^-12. Therefore, the new super forward error correction（Super-FEC） concatenated code can be better used in ultra long-haul, ultra large-capacity and ultra high-speed WDM optical communication systems.

High efficiency spreading spectrum modulation using double orthogonal complex sequences

This paper presents a novel scheme of high efficiency spreading spectrum modulation using double orthogonal complex sequences （DoCS）. In this scheme, input data bit-stream is split into many groups with length M. Each group is then mapped into a word of width M and then utihzed to select one sequence from 2u-2 DoCS sequences each with length L. After that, the selected sequence is modulated on carrier in quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK） mode. In addition, a new method named forward phase correction （FPC） is put forward for carrier recovery. Theoretical analysis and bit-error-ratio（BER） experiment results indicate that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional direct sequence spread spectrum（DSSS） scheme both in bandwidth efficiency and processing gain of the receiver.

Streaming Media over a Color Overlay Based on Forward Error Correction Technique

The number of clients that receive high-quality streaming video from a source is greatly limited by the application requirements, such as the high bandwidth and reliability. In this work, a method was de-veloped to construct a color overlay, which enables clients to receive data across multiple paths, based on the forward error correction technique. The color overlay enlarges system capacity by reducing the bottle-necks and extending the bandwidth, improves reliability against node failure, and is more resilient to fluctua-tions of network metrics. A light-weight protocol for building the overlay is also presented. Extensive simula-tions were conducted and the results clearly support the claimed advantages.

M3FEC:Joint Multiple Description Coding and Forward Error Correction for Interactive Multimedia in Multiple Path Transmission

The best-effort internet has inherent limitations on the end-to-end performance for interactive multimedia communications. This paper presents a multiple description coding （MDC） and forward error correction （FEC） based multiple path transmission schemes for interactive multimedia （M3FEC）, which improves the end users’ experience by maximizing a rate-distortion （R-D） based optimization problem. The proposed model considers both the network diversity and the application’s stringent requirements, and combines the individual merits of the three promising technologies of multiple path overlay routing, MDC and FEC. Extensive numerical analysis and PlanetLab experiments demonstrate that M3FEC successfully combats packet losses, error propagation, and unpredictable network dynamics. This method also significantly increases distortion for interactive multimedia by over 10 dB than traditional IP-layer single path transmission in poor network environments, and outperforms the performance achieved by using MDC or FEC alone.

The QC- --14 d LDPC code with stability of the shortest cycle reduces the bit error ratio （BER） to 10 an restrains the error floor effectively.

Peer-Paired Collaboration for On-Demand Streaming Applications and an Improved Error Recovery Technique

Previous studies on streaming media networks have mainly focused on how to conserve the network bandwidth, especially the Internet backbone bandwidth, while maintaining a desired quality. This paper tackles the problem from another perspective, trying to improve the individual streaming quality while not increasing the backbone traffic. Specifically, we apply a peer-paired collaborative streaming architecture that exploits the power of peer-to-peer networking and extends the peer-paired collaboration from a live broadcasting scenario to the more general on-demand streaming scenario by introducing a unique catch-up scheme. Experimental results show that the peer-paired collaboration can bring about a significant performance gain for on-demand streaming application scenarios. In addition, we propose a forward error correction based error recovery technique that can resist up to 50% packet losses regardless of whether the losses are independent or shared.
