X. Li, J. Huang, Y. Lyu, J. Luo, J. Zhang, "A Mixed Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (X-OFDM) Waveform for Optical Wireless Communication," \emph{Accepted by 2020 IEEE GLOBECOM Workshop on Optical Wireless Communications (OWC)}, 2020
The optical wireless communication (OWC) with the intensity modulation (IM), requires the modulated radio frequency (RF) signal to be real and non-negative. To satisfy the requirements, this paper proposes two types of mixed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (X-OFDM) waveform. The Hermitian symmetry (HS) character of the sub-carriers in the frequency domain, guarantees the signal in the time domain to be real, which reduces the spectral efficiency to $1/2$. For the odd sub-carriers in the frequency domain, the signal in the time domain after the inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) is antisymmetric. For the even sub-carriers in the frequency domain, the signal in the time domain after the IFFT is symmetric. Based on the antisymmetric and symmetric characters, the two types of X-OFDM waveform are designed to guarantee the signal in the time domain to be non-negative, where the direct current (DC) bias is not needed. With $N$ sub-carriers in the frequency domain, the generated signal in the time domain has $3N/2$ points, which further reduces the spectral efficiency to $1/3 = 1/2 \times 2/3$. The numerical simulations show that, the two types of X-OFDM waveform greatly enhance the power efficiency considering the OWC channel with the signal-dependent noise and/or the signal-independent noise.
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…
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…
In this study, we propose an approach to constructing on-off keying (OOK) symbols for wake-up radios (WURs) by using sequences in the frequency domain. The proposed method enables orthogonal multiplexing of wake-up signals (WUSs) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms. We optimize the sequences with a tractable algorithm by considering the reliability of WUSs in fading channels. The proposed algorithm relies on an alternating minimization technique, i.e. cyclic algorithm-new (CAN), which was originally proposed for obtaining a unimodular sequence with good aperiodic co…
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…
The faster-than-Nyquist nonlinear frequency division multiplexing system was first proposed, which provided 12.5% and 25% increase in spectral efficiency for the compression factor of 0.89 and 0.8 respectively.
Automatic signal identification (ASI) has important applications to both commercial and military communications, such as software defined radio, cognitive radio, spectrum surveillance and monitoring, and electronic warfare. While ASI has been intensively studied for single-input single-output systems, only a few investigations have been recently presented for multiple-input multiple-output systems. This paper introduces a novel algorithm for the identification of spatial multiplexing (SM) and Alamouti coded (AL) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, which relies on the sec…
A novel modulation scheme termed orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing with subcarrier number modulation (OFDM-SNM) has been proposed and regarded as one of the promising candidate modulation schemes for next generation networks. Although OFDM-SNM is capable of having a higher spectral efficiency (SE) than OFDM with index modulation (OFDM-IM) and plain OFDM under certain conditions, its reliability is relatively inferior to these existing schemes, because the number of active subcarriers varies. In this regard, we propose an enhanced OFDM-SNM scheme in this paper, which utilizes the flexi…
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.
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 a record net capacity per wavelength of 1.23~Tb/s over a single silicon-on-insulator (SOI) multimode waveguide for optical interconnects employing on-chip mode-division multiplexing and 11$\times$11 multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) digital signal processing.
In this paper, we propose a frequency-time division network (FreqTimeNet) to improve the performance of deep learning (DL) based OFDM channel estimation. This FreqTimeNet is designed based on the orthogonality between the frequency domain and the time domain. In FreqTimeNet, the input is processed by parallel frequency blocks and parallel time blocks sequentially. By introducing the attention mechanism using the SNR information, an attention based FreqTimeNet (AttenFreqTimeNet) is proposed. Using 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) channel models, the mean square error (MSE) performance …
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 proof of concept demonstration is performed using commercially available mode-selective photonic lanterns, a commercial transponder, and a spatial light modulator based turbulence emulator. In this link, 5 s…
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…
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…
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…

Mode division multiplexing (MDM) is one method to increase the total information capacity of a single on-chip waveguide and, by extension, the information density of the photonic neural network (PNN). This Independent Work consists of three experimental designs ready for fabricati…

On the other side, a possibility of optical time delay by an electrical phase shifter for optical time division multiplexing is theoretically demonstrated. In continue, the fractional dimensional o…
As a candidate waveform for next-generation wireless communications, generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) features several decent properties which make it promising. 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, …
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 …
From a conceptual perspective, 5G technology promises to deliver low latency, high data rate and more reliable connections for the next generations of communication systems. To face these demands, modulation schemes based on Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) can accommodate these requirements for wireless systems. On the other hand, several hybrid OFDM-based systems such as the Time-Interleaved Block Windowed Burst Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (TIBWB-OFDM) are capable of achieving even better spectral confinement and power efficiency. This paper addresses to the imp…
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…
This letter presents and analyzes orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based multi-carrier transmission for cell-free massive multi-input multi-output (CFmMIMO) over frequency-selective fading channels. Frequency-domain conjugate beamforming, pilot assignment, and user-specific resource allocation are proposed. CFmMIMO-OFDM is scalable to serve a massive number of users and is flexible to offer diverse data rates for heterogeneous applications.
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. Ou…
Interleaved Frequency Division Multiple Access (IFDMA) and Orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA) belong to a class of signal modulation and multiple-access techniques in which information of multiple users are multiplexed and carried on subcarriers within a shared spectrum. Compared with OFDMA, IFDMA has lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). However, IFDMA poses two rigid constraints on subcarrier allocation: 1) the subcarriers occupied by a user must be evenly-spaced among the available subcarriers. 2) the number of subcarriers used by a user must be a divisor of the total number of subcarriers. This p…
A comprehensive novel design is proposed for the free-space optical (FSO) communication system by hybridizing circular polarization division multiplexing (CPDM) with coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) and its performance is investigated realistically under diverse turbulent weather conditions of Bangladesh. Here we consider Gamma-Gamma (G-G) distribution for the turbulent FSO channel model. Moreover, the proposed scheme presents an excellent performance since CPDM technique not only maximizes the link capacity of FSO system but also enhances the spectral effi…
We propose an algorithm for carrying out joint frame and frequency synchronization in reduced-guard-interval coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (RGI-CO-OFDM) systems. The synchronization is achieved by using the same training symbols (TS) employed for training-aided channel estimation (TA-CE), thereby avoiding additional training overhead. The proposed algorithm is designed for polarization division multiplexing (PDM) RGI-CO-OFDM systems that use the Alamouti-type polarization-time coding for TA-CE. Due to their optimal TA-CE performance, Golay complementary sequences …
We study the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In conventional clipping and filtering based PAPR reduction techniques, clipping noise is allowed to spread over the whole active passband, thus degrading the transmit signal quality similarly at all active subcarriers. However, since modern radio networks support frequency-multiplexing of users and services with highly different quality-of-service expectations, clipping noise from PAPR reduction should be distributed unequally over the corresponding physical resource blocks (P…

An Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM) provides promine…
In this communication, we propose a framework for amalgamating optical-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (O-OFDM) and O-OFDM with index modulation (O-OFDM-IM) for optical wireless systems. Both schemes individually have some limitations, e.g., O-OFDM does not provide any granularity for spectral efficiency (SE)/energy efficiency (EE) trade-off, and O-OFDM-IM loses EE for higher order modulation alphabets. By combining O-OFDM and O-OFDM-IM together, the above limitations can be circumvented. Following on from providing the general framework, we use asymmetrically clipped (AC)O-OFDM and…
We consider signature waveform design for synchronous code division multiplexing in the presence of interference and wireless multipath fading channels. The adaptive real/complex signature that maximizes the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the maximum-SINR filter is the minimum-eigenvalue eigenvector of the disturbance autocovariance matrix. In digital communication systems, the signature alphabet is finite and digital signature optimization is NP-hard. In this paper, first we convert the maximum-SINR objective of adaptive binary signature design into an equival…
Polynomial-cancellation-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PCC-OFDM) is a form of OFDM that has waveforms which are very well localized in both the time and frequency domains and so it is ideally suited for use in the 5G network. This paper analyzes the performance of PCC-OFDM in the uplink of a multiuser system using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and compares it with conventional cyclic prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM), and universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC). PCC-OFDM is shown to be much less sensitive than either CP-OFDM or UFMC to time and frequency offsets. …
