Book excerpt: In this thesis, we analyze the performance of heterogeneous wireless communication systems that are composed of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) and Radio Frequency (RF) systems. OWC systems further include long range outdoor Free Space Optical (FSO) systems and short range indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems. Hybrid FSO/RF systems have emerged as a promising solution for high data rate wireless transmissions. Various transmission schemes including switch-over and soft-switching had been presented for hybrid FSO/RF systems. To overcome the drawbacks of existing schemes, we present a new transmission strategy for hybrid FSO/RF systems exploring an adaptive combining technology. This new strategy shows an improved outage performance. Typically, when the transmitter and the receiver are provided with channel state information, the transmission schemes can be adaptively designed allowing the channel to be used more efficiently. We present two new joint adaptive transmission schemes for hybrid FSO/RF systems. The first one is joint adaptive modulation and adaptive combining scheme which improves the spectral efficiency of hybrid FSO/RF systems. The other one is joint power adaptation and adaptive combining scheme which improves the throughput and the outage performance of hybrid FSO/RF systems. We accurately evaluate the performance of both schemes.FSO technology can be used effectively in multiuser scenarios to support Point-to-Multi-Point (P2MP) networks. In P2MP networks, FSO links are used for data transmission from a central location to multiple users. In this thesis, we present a new P2MP network based on hybrid FSO/RF transmission system. A common backup RF link is used by the central station for data transmission to any user in case of the failure of its corresponding FSO link. Based on a Markov Chain formulation, we study the performance of the resulting system. P2MP Hybrid FSO/RF network achieves considerable performance improvement over the P2MP FSO-only network. In VLC, Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used for the purpose of simultaneous illumination and data communication at high data rate. However, the light originating from a LED source is naturally confined to a small area and is susceptible to blockages. Hybrid VLC/RF systems have been emerged as a promising solution to provide enhanced communication coverage. We introduce a new dual-hop VLC/RF system with energy harvesting relay to extend the coverage of indoor wireless system based on VLC. The second-hop RF transmission uses the harvested energy over the first-hop VLC transmission. In this thesis, we propose two different approaches for energy harvesting at the relay terminal. In the first approach, the relay harvests light energy from different artificial light sources and sunlight entering the room. In this approach, we propose a novel statistical model for the harvested electrical power and analyze the probability of data packet loss. In the second approach, the relay harvests energy from the VLC link by extracting the direct current component of the received optical signal. In this approach, we investigate the optimal design of the hybrid VLC/RF system in terms of data rate maximization. In both cases, we present extensive numerical examples to define important design guide lines for VLC/RF systems.

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, language: English, abstract: Over the recent few years, optical wireless communication (OWC) has attracted significant attention in both academia and the research community. Contrary to radio frequency (RF) systems, the spatial confinement of the optical beams makes the OWC system a potential system offering higher data rates and secured communication. OWC systems and applications in several areas, such as terrestrial outdoor (free-space optical (FSO) communication), indoor and outdoor visible light communication (VLC), etc. For the terrestrial outdoor FSO systems, spatial diversity techniques are employed over FSO links to enhance the diversity and overall performance. To this end, the spatial diversity techniques corresponding to the state-of-the-art are repetition coding (RC), transmit laser selection (TLS), and orthogonal space-time block codes. Note that, TLS is the optimal transmission scheme in the FSO systems. In this dissertation, we name the conventional TLS scheme as a single TLS (STLS) scheme. However, the performance of the conventional STLS scheme is highly dependent on the feedback errors. On the other side, the outdoor VLC finds applications in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communications, etc. Emphasizing the state-of-the-art corresponding to the outdoor V2V-VLC systems, there is a lack of comprehensive modeling and performance investigation under the adverse challenges of the outdoor VLC environment. Moreover, to address the challenges of the next-generation-based outdoor intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), an indoor testbed design for an outdoor I2V-VLC system is still missing. In order to enhance the diversity and overall performance of the terrestrial outdoor FSO systems, the study begins by proposing two novel TLS schemes. We call the proposed schemes as two TLS (TTLS) and modified error-tolerant weighting scheme (METWS). Note that, the conventional STLS scheme gives optimal performance under a perfect feedback scenario. However, its performance degrades significantly under an imperfect feedback scenario. To this end, the two proposed schemes overcome the practical limitations of the conventional STLS scheme. Moreover, we analyze the performance of the two proposed schemes for both perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI)-based communication scenarios. Further, different performance metrics, such as bit error rate (BER), diversity gain, etc., are thoroughly analyzed. Furthermore, to gain more insight

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on optical wireless communications (OWC), an emerging technology with huge potential for the provision of pervasive and reliable next-generation communications networks. It shows how the development of novel and efficient wireless technologies can contribute to a range of transmission links essential for the heterogeneous networks of the future to support various communications services and traffic patterns with ever-increasing demands for higher data-transfer rates. The book starts with a chapter reviewing the OWC field, which explains different sub-technologies (visible-light, ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) communications) and introduces the spectrum of application areas (indoor, vehicular, terrestrial, underwater, intersatellite, deep space, etc.). This provides readers with the necessary background information to understand the specialist material in the main body of the book, which is in four parts. The first of these deals with propagation modelling and channel characterization of OWC channels at different spectral bands and with different applications. The second starts by providing a unified information-theoretic treatment of OWC and then discusses advanced physical-layer methodologies (including, but not limited to: advanced coding, modulation diversity, cooperation and multi-carrier techniques) and the ultimate limitations imposed by practical constraints. On top of the physical layer come the upper-layer protocols and cross-layer designs that are the subject of the third part of the book. The last part of the book features a chapter-by-chapter assessment of selected OWC applications. Optical Wireless Communications is a valuable reference guide for academic researchers and practitioners concerned with the future development of the world’s communication networks. It succinctly but comprehensively presents the latest advances in the field.

This book was released on 2024-11-04 with total page 1711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides comprehensive knowledge on device and system technologies for seamlessly integrated networks of various types of transmission media such as optical fibers and millimeter and THz waves to offer super high-speed data link service everywhere. The seamless integration of the knowledge of radio and optical technologies is needed to construct wired and wireless seamless networks. High-frequency bands such as millimeter-wave and THz-wave bands where super wideband spectra are available can offer high-speed data transmission and high-resolution sensing. However, the expected coverage is limited due to large wave propagation loss. Thus, convergence of radio and optical links is indispensable to construct worldwide networks. The radio and optical technologies share the same physics and are closely related to each other but have been developed independently. Therefore, there is a big gap between these two fields. Bridging the two fields, this handbook is also intended as a common platform to design integrated networks consisting of wireless and wired links. Full coverage of wireless and wired convergence fields ranging from basics of device and transmission media to applications allows the reader to efficiently access all the important references in this single handbook. Further, it also showcases state-of-the-art technology and cases of its use.

This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have performed a study on telecommunication systems for a hypothetical mission to Mars. The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the benefits that microwave-X-band (8.4 GHz) and Ka-band (32 GHz) - and optical communications technologies a afford to future missions. The telecommunication systems were required to return data after launch and in orbit at 2.7 AU with daily data volumes of 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 Gbits (Gb). Spacecraft terminals capable of delivering each of the three data volumes were proposed and characterized in terms of mass, power consumption, size, and cost. The estimated parameters for X-band, Ka-band, and optical frequencies are compared and presented here. For all cases, the optical light terminal exhibits about 60 percent of the mass of the corresponding radio frequency (RF) subsystem. Power consumption is comparable for all three technologies at a 0.1 Gb/day data volume, but the power required at either Ka-band or optical is less than half of the X-band requirement at 10 Gb/day. These benefits can be obtained only with a suitable investment in reception facilities for Ka-band or optical frequencies. Hemmati, H. and Wilson, K. and Sue, M. K. and Harcke, L.
