Non-Line-of-Sight Ultraviolet Communication Performance in Atmospheric Turbulence

Non-Line-of-Sight(NLOS)Ultraviolet(UV)communication uses the atmosphere as a propagation medium.As the communication range increases,turbulence becomes a significant atmospheric process that affects the propagation of optical waves.This paper presents a more accurate NLOS channel model by considering turbulence-induced Scintillation Attenuation(SA).Then,the Bit Error Rate(BER)during turbulence of the NLOS UV communication system with On-Off Keying(OOK)modulation and Maximum Likelihood(ML)detection is analysed and compared with that in free space without turbulence.The BER dependence is also analysed for different factors,including the refractive index structure parameter,transceiver range,pointing angles,transmitted power,and data rate.

Ultraviolet communication technique and its application

With recent developments of deep ultraviolet(DUV)light-emitting diodes and solar-blind detectors,UV communication(UVC)shows great potential in replacing traditional wireless communication in more and more scenarios.Based on the atmospheric scattering of UV radiation,UVC has gained considerable attention due to its non-line-of-sight ability,omnidirectional communication links and low background noise.These advantages make UVC an ideal option for covert secure communication,especially for military communication.In this review,we present the history and working principle of UVC with a special focus on its light sources and detectors.Comprehensive comparison and application of its light sources and detectors are provided to the best of our knowledge.We further discuss the future application and outlook of UVC.Hopefully,this review will offer valuable insights into the future development of UVC.

Impacts of Transceiver Configuration on Ultraviolet Communication

In the channel estimation for ultraviolet communication, the single scattering power is usually used to approximate the received total power. This approximation error is affected by the transceiver configuration. Here, we employ the proportion of received single scattering power in received total power to indicate the approximation error of the single scattering model in different configurations. This is useful for reducing the approximation error by selecting a more appropriate transceiver configuration.

The realization of a wide-angle voice transmission non-line-ofsight ultraviolet communication system

A 300 kbps wide-angle non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication system with voice transmission function is designed here.Based on Poisson distribution theory,we design the symbol detecting method for the receiving discrete photon signals.Using 272 nm LED array as the light source and PMT as the detector,the voice transceiver is integrated into the carriable size of 200×90×65 mm^(3).An outfield test shows the system obtains the BER of 0.88% under 200 m.Under 10°wide-angle deviation of the transmitter,a BER below 1.33% is achieved.

Study on multiple receiver systems in non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication systems

In this article, multiple receiver effects in a non-line-of-sight （NLOS） ultraviolet （UV） communication system is studied. The idea of using multiple receivers for diversity reception is known as a practical, effective and widely applied technique in wireless communications. The current approach is to use multiple antennas at the receiver in order to improve the quality of the received signal. A method of modeling and simulation is proposed to depict the principle and feasibility of the multiple receiver adopted in UV communication. The study provides an insight to the channel characteristics and achievable capabilities of ultraviolet communication systems with multiple receivers. It provides guidelines for practical system design with discussions on trade off between the receiver gain and the additional cost.

Single scattering turbulence model based on the division of effective scattering volume for ultraviolet communication

In this Let ter,a single scattering turbulence model in a narrow beam case for ultraviolet(UV)communication is proposed based on the division of the effective scattering volume.This model takes the variation of atmospheric scattering,absorption,and turbulence in different paths into account.Meanwhile,the applicable transceiver configurations of this model are provided by analyzing path loss error caused by the single scattering assumption in the UV channel.Furthermore,we investigate the effect of turbulence on the probability density function of the arriving power in both coplanar and non-coplanar scenarios.The averaging effect of multipath propagation on the arriving power's fluctuations is presented.Then,the bit-error-rate performance is also studied.This work provides an efficient way for UV turbulence channel estimation.
