This paper proposes a low-complexity iterative receiver for the recently proposed Orthogonal Chirp Division Multiplexing (OCDM) modulation scheme, where we consider a system under frequency-selective channels and constrained to channel state information availability only at the receiver. It has been shown that under these assumptions, OCDM becomes an optimal waveform in terms of performance, i.e., frame error rate (FER), when employing a receiver capable of achieving perfect feedback equalizer (PFE) performance. Thus, this work targets proposing such a receiver for OCDM with low-complexity. Our approach is based on the well accepted minimum mean squared error with parallel interference cancellation (MMSE-PIC), where we derive an approximated equalizer whose complexity is reduced to two fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) per iteration. The FER results reveal that i) the proposed low-complexity receiver perform as good as the original MMSE-PIC, ii) OCDM performs very closely to PFE, and iii) OCDM has approximately 2.5 dB improvement over OFDM.
We propose a multicarrier chirp-division multiplexing (MCDM) system in which orthogonal chirp waveforms are utilized as frequency subcarriers. Orthogonal characteristics of chirp subcarriers are analyzed in respect to cross-correlation coefficients among subcarriers. Moreover, orthogonal chirp transform (OCT) is developed to implement MCDM systems. In addition, we design a low complexity receiver, including packet synchronization, carrier frequency offset compensation, channel estimation, and symbol detection. Proposed MCDM systems have both advantages of chirp waveforms and multicarrier archi…

We propose a digital interference mitigation scheme to reduce the impact of mode coupling in space division multiplexing self-homodyne coherent detection and experimentally verify its effectiveness in 240-Gbps mode-multiplexed transmission over 3-mode multimode fiber.
In this paper, a new modulation method defined as Ramanujan Periodic Subspace Division Multiplexing (RPSDM) is proposed using Ramanujan subspaces. Each subspace contains an integer valued Ramanujan Sum (RS) and its circular downshifts as a basis. The proposed RPSDM decomposes the linear time-invariant wireless channels into a Toeplitz stair block diagonal matrices, whereas Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) decompose the same into diagonal. Advantages of such structured subspaces representation are studied and compared with an OFDM representation in terms of Peak-Average Power R…
We consider a bistatic vehicular integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system that employs the recently proposed orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) multicarrier waveform. As a stand-alone communications waveform, OCDM has been shown to be robust against the interference in time-frequency selective channels. In a bistatic ISAC, we exploit this property to develop efficient receive processing algorithms that achieve high target resolution as well as high communications rate. We derive statistical bounds for our proposed Sequential symbol decoding and radar parameter estimation …

The low-pass characteristics of front-end elements including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodiodes (PDs) limit the transmission data rate of visible light communication (VLC) and Light Fidelity (LiFi) systems. Using multiplexing transmission techniques, such as spatial multiplexing (SMX) and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), is a solution to overcome bandwidth limitation. However, spatial correlation in optical wireless channels and optical filter bandpass shifts typically limit the achievable multiplexing gain in SMX and WDM systems, respectively. In this paper, we consider a mul…
We envision the application of optical Space-division Multiplexing (SDM) to the next generation fiber-wireless communications as a firm candidate to increase the end user capacity and provide adaptive radiofrequency-photonic interfaces. This approach relies on the concept of fiber-distributed signal processing, where the SDM fiber provides not only radio access distribution but also broadband microwave photonics signal processing. In particular, we present two different SDM fiber technologies: dispersion-engineered heterogeneous multicore fiber links and multicavity devices built upon the sele…
In this study, we propose a wideband index modulation (IM) based on circularly-shifted chirps. To derive the proposed method, we first prove that a Golay complementary pair (GCP) can be constructed by linearly combining the Fourier series of chirps. We show that Fresnel integrals and/or Bessel functions, arising from sinusoidal and linear chirps, respectively, can lead to GCPs. We then exploit discrete Fourier transform-spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) to obtain a low-complexity transmitter and receiver. We also discuss its generalization for achieving a trade-off…
Co-prime sampling is a strategy for acquiring the signal below the Nyquist rate. The prototype and extended co-prime samplers require two low rate sub-samplers. One of the sub-samplers in the extended co-prime scheme is not utilized for every alternate co-prime period. Therefore, this paper proposes a time multiplexing strategy to utilize the vacant slots. It describes the deviation from the existing theory. Closed-form expressions for weight functions are provided. Acquisition of two signals is described with three samplers as well as two samplers. A generalized structure is also proposed wit…

One possibility to break down the capacity limit in optical transmission systems are higher spectral efficiencies, enabled by Faster-than-Nyquist signaling. Here we present the utilization of non-orthogonal time division multiplexing of sinc pulse sequences for this purpose. The mathematical expression, with a representation of the Nyquist sinc sequence by a cosine Fourier series and simulation results show that non-orthogonal time-division multiplexing increases the transmittable symbol rate by up to 25%.
We experimentally demonstrate the enhanced atmospheric turbulence resiliency in a 137.8 Gbit/s/mode mode-division multiplexing free-space optical communication link through the application of a successive interference cancellation digital signal processing algorithm. The turbulence resiliency is further enhanced through redundant receive channels in the mode-division multiplexing link.

With the emergence of new applications (e.g., extended reality and haptics), which require to be simultaneously served not just with low latency and sufficient reliability, but also with high spectral efficiency, future networks (i.e., 6G) should be capable of meeting this demand by introducing new effective transmission designs. Motivated by this, a novel modulation technique termed as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier power modulation (OFDM-SPM) is proposed for providing highly spectral-efficient data transmission with low-latency and less-complexity for future 6G wi…
Space-division multiplexing is a promising technology in optical fibre communication to improve the transmission capacity of a single optical fibre. However, the number of channels that can be multiplexed is limited by the crosstalks between channels, and the multiplexing is only applied to few-mode or multi-core fibres. Here, we propose a high-spatial-density channel multiplexing framework employing deep learning for standard multimode fibres (MMF). We present a proof-of-concept experimental system, consisting of a single light source, a single digital-micromirror-device modulator, a single d…

In this paper, we systematically overview the research about GFDM. We start with GFDM transceivers with their main components, which consist of prototype filter design, low-complexity transceiver implementation, and symbol detection algorithms. Then, we investigate a couple of non-ideal issues of GFDM, including synchronization issues, channel estimation, and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance compensation. Lastly, …
A promising waveform candidate for future joint sensing and communication systems is orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (OFDM). For such systems, supporting multiple transmit antennas requires multiplexing methods for the generation of orthogonal transmit signals, where equidistant subcarrier interleaving (ESI) is the most popular multiplexing method. In this work, we analyze a multiplexing method called Doppler-division multiplexing (DDM). This method applies a phase shift from OFDM symbol to OFDM symbol to separate signals transmitted by different Tx antennas along the velocity axis o…
