- Improving the spectrum efficiency (SE) is an effective method to further enhance the data rate of bandwidthmultiplexing (NOFDM) with a compression factor of 0.5 can save half of the bandwidth without introducing any inter-carrier-interference (ICI) only if the total number of subcarriers is large enough, and we termed it as half-spectrum OFDM (HS-OFDM). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported work on a closed-form HS-OFDM signal in the discrete domain from the perspective of a correlation matrix. Due to the special mathematical property, no extra complex decoding algorithm is required at the HS-OFDM receiver, making it as simple as the conventional OFDM receiver. Compared with traditional OFDM, HS-OFDM can realize the same data rate, but with a larger signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) margin. To fully use the SNR resource of the communication system, we further propose a digital power division multiplexed HS-OFDM (DPDM-HS-OFDM) scheme to quadruple the SE of conventional OFDM for the bandwidth-starved UWOCs. The experimental results show that HS-OFDM can improve the receiver sensitivity by around 4 dB as opposed to conventional 4QAM-OFDM with the same data rate and SE. With the help of the DPDM-HS-OFDM scheme, the data rate of multi-user UWOC can reach up to 4.5 Gbps under the hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) limit of a bit error rate (BER) of 3.8 x 10-3. Although there is some performance degradation in comparison with single-user HS-OFDM, the BER performance of multi-user DPDM-HS-OFDM is still superior to that of conventional single-user 4QAM-OFDM. Both single-user HS-OFDM and multi-user DPDM-HS-OFDM successfully achieve 2 Gbps/75 m data transmission, indicating that the DPDM-HS-OFDM scheme is of great importance in bandwidth-limited UWOC systems and has guiding significance to underwater wireless optical multiple access.

- In this paper, three different low-complexity sector-based Gossiping routing protocols, namely Gossiping with probabilistic selection (Gossiping-PS), Gossiping with visibility priority (Gossiping-VP), and Gossiping with energy priority (Gossiping-EP), are evaluated through the three-dimensional underwater optical cellular network (UOCN). Comprehensive performance comparisons are made among the above three routing protocols in terms of the average hop, end-to-end delay, network lifetime, packet-loss rate, and energy utilization. Numerical analysis shows that Gossiping-PS significantly outperforms the other two schemes, while Gossiping-Vpand Gossiping-EP behave even worse than the standard Gossiping routing protocol under some circumstances, which is owing to the fact that the Greedy algorithm makes the best choice for the current moment instead of taking the global optimality into consideration.

Spectrally Efficient Non-Orthogonal Discrete Multi-Tone Transmission for Underwater Wireless Optical Communication With Low-Complexity High Performance ICI Mitigation
- 2023

Ingår i: Journal of Lightwave Technology. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). - 0733-8724 .- 1558-2213. ; 41:19, s. 6288-6299

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, a novel spectrally efficient non-orthogonal discrete multi-tone (NODMT) system is proposed for the bandwidth-starved underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) to compensate for the insufficient bandwidth of components. Different from other non-orthogonal systems with complex-valued correlation matrices, the designed NODMT system has a real-valued correlation matrix, which is significant in reducing the complexity of decoders, e.g., the complexity of the proposed NODMT with iterative detection (ID) algorithm can be reduced by 50% as compared to the conventional non-orthogonal system with ID. However, in circumstances of higher spectrum efficiency (SE), the non-orthogonality is intensified and inter-carrier interference (ICI) becomes severer, leading to the sharp deterioration of ID decoding capability. The traditional sphere decoding (SD) algorithm cannot solve this issue because Cholesky decomposition only works with the positive definite matrix. Therefore, we propose a novel SD algorithm based on QR decomposition, named QRSD, which effectively compensates for the insufficient decoding capability of the ID algorithm in the case of higher SE. By combining ID and QRSD methods, over 40% complexity reduction and nearly identical BER performance with QRSD are achieved. Through a proof-of-concept UWOC experiment, a 3.31-Gbps NODMT transmission with up to 24.44% data rate promotion is demonstrated, and the feasibility/effectiveness of the proposed ID-QRSD algorithm in different turbidity water is verified. Moreover, we have experimentally realized 75-m/2.66-Gbps and 60-m/3.02-Gbps underwater transmission with 15% and 25% bandwidth savings, respectively. This UWOC system with high SE shows great potential in the bandwidth-limited UWOC and underwater internet of things (UIoT).

- Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) has broad prospects in underwater real-time applications. We design and experimentally demonstrate a real-time discrete Fourier transform spread discrete multi-tone (DFT-S DMT) signal transmission based on a field programmable gate array for a blue-LED-based UWOC system with a data rate of up to 30 Mbps over a 15-m underwater channel. The architecture and usage of an on-chip resource as well as power consumption are analyzed and discussed. To reduce the impacts of multipath fading and received intensity fluctuation, spatial diversity reception is also introduced. Furthermore, the receiver sensitivity at a speci-fied bit error rate (BER) threshold and the quality of the images are evaluated using three types of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. At the BER threshold of 10-4, over 2.8-dB receiver sensitivity improvement is obtained by the DFT-S DMT scheme with the RS (64, 56) code as compared to the uncoded one at the data rate of 30 Mbps. The perform-ance of BER, color difference, and structural similarity in the image transmission of DFT-S DMT is superior to that of the conventional hard clipping quadrature amplitude modulation DMT in a high-data-rate region because of the low peak-to-average-power ratio and ability to mitigate high-frequency fading in a band-limited UWOC system. With schemes of the RS code, DFT-S, and diversity reception, error-free transmission of images is achieved over a 15-m water channel. The proposed UWOC system has the advantages of low power consumption and porta-bility, which foresees a bright future in underwater applications over short to moderate distances.

- In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system using a 450-nm gallium nitride (GaN) laser and adaptive bit-power loading discrete multitone (DMT). To enhance the system capacity, a post nonlinear equalizer based on the simplified Volterra series is employed at the receiver to mitigate the nonlinear impairments of the UWOC system. By combining the adaptive bit-power loading with nonlinear equalization, 7.33-Gb/s DMT-modulated UWOC under 15-m tap water is achieved at a bit error rate below the 7% hard-decision forward error correction (FEC) limit 3.8 x 10(-3). The electrical signal bandwidth is 1.25 GHz, which corresponds to an electrical spectrum efficiency of similar to 6 bit/s/Hz. The capacity-distance product reaches 109.95 Gb/s-m in a single channel UWOC system with tap water. Compared with the linear equalization case, the system capacity at the FEC limit for 15-m underwater transmission is improved by similar to 18% with the nonlinear equalization. Furthermore, the impact of turbidity on the performance of UWOC system is investigated by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under different suspension concentrations of Al(OH)(3) and Mg(OH)(2). The results show that significant SNR gains (>3 dB for transmission distance up to 11 m) can be obtained by the nonlinear equalization over a wide range of water turbidity levels representing "clear ocean," "coastal ocean," and "harbor water," which demonstrates the robustness of the proposed scheme in various ocean environments.

- The nonlinearity of the light-emitting diode (LED) in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems is considered the one major limiting factor that degrades the system's performance. Volterra series-based nonlinear equalization is widely employed to mitigate such nonlinearity in communication systems. However, the conventional Volterra series-based model is of high complexity, especially for the nonlinearity of higher-order terms or longer memory lengths. In this paper, by pruning away some negligible beating terms and adaptively picking out some of the dominant terms while discarding the trivial ones, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a sparse pruned-term-based nonlinear decision-feedback equalization (SPT-NDFE) scheme for the LED-based UWOC system with an inappreciable performance degradation as compared to systems without the pruning strategy. Meanwhile, by replacing the self/cross beating terms with the terms formed by the absolute operation of a sum of two input samples instead of the product operation terms, a sparse pruned-term-based absolute operation nonlinear decision-feedback equalization (SPT-ANDFE) scheme is also introduced to further reduce complexity. The experimental results show that the SPT-NDFE scheme exhibits comparable performance as compared to the conventional NDFE (nonlinear decision-feedback equalization) scheme with lower complexity (the nonlinear coefficients are reduced by 63.63% as compared to the conventional NDFE scheme). While the SPT-ANDFE scheme yields suboptimal performance with further reduced complexity at the expense of a slight performance degradation, the robustness of the proposed schemes in different turbidity waters is experimentally verified. The proposed channel equalization schemes with low complexity and high performance are promising for power/energy-sensitive UWOC systems.

- Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) is considered as an enabling technology with a mass of potential applications. The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) exhibits a bright prospect for UWOC thanks to the traits of low-light detection capability, low-voltage operation, and superior operability. However, the performance of the SiPM-based UWOC system is severely degraded by the dead-time caused nonlinear response. In this paper, to mitigate the dead-time induced nonlinear distortion and explore the achievable capacity of the newly developed SiPM, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a 55-m / 2-Gbps UWOC system by virtue of SiPM diversity reception and nonlinear decision-feedback equalizer (NDFE). The performance of NDFE is superior to that of the conventional decision-feedback equalizer (DEE), and NDFE with a pruning factor of 5 declares similar performance as that without pruning strategy, while the number of the nonlinear equalizer can be reduced by similar to 31.8%. Significant performance improvement is also obtained by the proposed scheme under different turbidity waters. The measured data rate is pushed from 1 Gbps to 2 Gbps with a receiver sensitivity as low as -41.96 dBm, which to the best of our knowledge is the largest data rate ever achieved using the off-the-shelf SiPM among the reported UWOC works. In accordance with the receiver sensitivity and the model of optical propagation in the water channel, the maximum attainable distance/data rate is predicted to be 147 m/ 1 Gbps and 128 m/2 Gbps with the proposed scheme. The research results are promising for long-reach and high-speed UWOC.

- A novel frequency domain nonlinear compensation method, FD-NC, is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based visible light communication (VLC) system. By tackling the memory nonlinear impairments from light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the frequency domain rather than in the time domain, the proposed method has much lower computational complexity than the conventional time domain Volterra nonlinear compensation method (TD-NC). Both theoretical derivation and experimental investigation of the proposed method in OFDM based VLC systems with four types of commercial LEDs are presented. The results of experiments show that the proposed low-complexity FD-NC method with a moderate truncation factor achieves a performance comparable to that of the TD-NC. The application of FD-NC method in the bit-power loading OFDM VLC system is also experimentally demonstrated. Compared with the linear equalization case, at a bit error rate (BER) of 3.8 x 10(-3) (a), the transmission distance of a 960 Mbps VLC system can be extended from 0.7 m to 1.8 m by the FD-NC, and (b) the achievable system capacity can be enhanced by 18.7%similar to 36.5% for transmission distance in the range of 0.5 m similar to 2 m with the FD-NC. The complexity analysis shows that the required number of real-valued multiplications (RNRM) of the FD-NC is independent of linear or nonlinear memory length. The reduction of RNRM achieved by the FD-NC over the TD-NC becomes more profound for a larger nonlinear memory length or a smaller truncation factor.

- In this paper, a low-complexity two-level chaotic encryption scheme is introduced and experimentally demonstrated to improve the physical layer security of a 450-nm laser underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system using discrete Fourier transform spread discrete multi-tone (DFT-S DMT) modulation. In the first encryption stage, the original bit stream is encrypted with a chaotic sequence based on a one-dimensional Logistic map. In the second encryption stage, the real and imaginary components of the DFT-S symbols are further encrypted with a pair of separate chaotic sequences, which are generated from a two-dimensional Logistic iterative chaotic map with infinite collapse (2D-LICM). The experimental results indicate that the encryption operation has no negative effect on the performance of the proposed UOWC system. For chaotic encryption, the DFT-S DMT gives a better performance than the DMT scheme under different water turbidities. 55-m/4.5-Gbps and 50-m/5-Gbps underwater transmissions are successfully demonstrated by the chaotic encrypted DFT-S DMT scheme. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to verify the feasibility of chaotic encryption in a high-speed UOWC system.
