A Novel Pathloss Prediction and Optimization Approach Using Deep Learning in Millimeter Wave Communication Systems

Millimeter wave communication systems design requires accurate pathloss prediction as well as optimization. Traditional pathloss models gives less accuracy therefore pathloss models using deep learning is alternative solution for traditional method. These methods overcome the time consuming pathloss prediction parameter prediction based on large dataset which is available for different frequencies. In this proposed work, for prediction of pathloss, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and for optimization of pathloss Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed. Towards implementation of the same, outdoor scenario with two roads and one cross section is used and dataset is generated using DeepMIMO generic dataset. The simulation result shows that using optimization technique reduces pathloss and CNN give accurate prediction of 95.7%. Furthermore, root mean square error value of 6.6 dB has been achieve which is less in comparison to alternative approaches designed for outdoor environments. The forthcoming development of multifrequency path loss models has sparked significant interest due to their forecasting ability to support higher frequency bands and address blockage scenarios within future wireless networks.

Enhanced mutual information neural estimators for optical fiber communication.

The accurate estimation of mutual information (MI) plays a vital role in understanding channel capacity and optimizing the performance of optical communications. While MI computations for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel are well-established, they fall short when dealing with the challenges posed by nonlinear optical fiber channels due to an unknown channel model. For the first time, to our knowledge, this Letter introduces a mutual information neural estimator (MINE) for MI estimation in optical fiber communications. We propose an enhanced MINE (E-MINE), achieved by enlarging the training batch size to improve estimation accuracy and stability. Our findings reveal that the E-MINE achieves highly accurate estimations in the AWGN channel and maintains strong consistency with symbol-by-symbol MI estimations, comparable to Monte Carlo (MC) methods based on a Gaussian distribution in long-haul optical fiber channels. Furthermore, with multi-symbol estimation, the E-MINE yields a 0.16 bits/4D-symbol improvement in our experiments. We anticipate that our findings will drive further research in the field, opening new possibilities for enhancing communication systems design and performance using deep learning techniques.

Efficient Error-Rate Estimation for Optical Transmission Systems Using Artificial Neural Networks

ABSTRACT With the advancement in modulation formats, optical transmission systems are becoming more adaptable and dynamic. Predicting bit errors of higher-order modulation formats is a challenging problem for the optimum design of communication systems. The existing simulation methods have persisted by employing iterative procedures that frequently incur high computing expenses and time consumption. On the other hand, deep learning (DL) algorithms have demonstrated remarkable efficacy as practical computing tools, presenting a viable approach to accelerate modulation simulations. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) based bit error rate (BER) estimation scheme is proposed for the popular modulation forms including 56 Gbps 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM), 100 Gbps 32QAM, and 120 Gbps 64QAM optical system. Based on constellation diagrams (CDs) acquired with different launch power, laser linewidth, transmission distance, and OSNR, amplitude histograms (AHs) are generated via a manual preprocessing method. The properly trained ANN architecture exhibits a computational speed that surpasses traditional simulation methods by a factor exceeding 347. Moreover, the design considerations including the number of layers, nodes, activation functions, learning rate, optimizers, and evolution epochs are also investigated in detail. This research paves the way for optical transmission systems to use fast DL-based optimization strategies.

Radiofrequency and optical satellite link budgeting calculator

Abstract Satellite communications represent one of the most widely used communication systems nowadays. From the 50’s of 20th century up to the present, the demand for satellite services has increased rapidly, so the need to design and implement reliable, up-to-date systems that meet the needs of users is increasingly imperative. Technological progress also implies a better use of the radio spectrum and the incorporation of benefits in terms of transmission performance. Traditionally, satellite systems have been implemented in the range corresponding to radio frequency, and more recently, special attention has been paid to the exploration of the spectrum corresponding to optical communications, due to the superior benefits that it offers, despite the set of challenges that its implementation represents. Such advances demand the greatest certainty of operation even from the conception and design stage of the transmission system, since satellite communications are not prone to constant changes and maintenance. The calculation process known as link budget is a tool present in the design of any wireless communications system, and its results determine the efficiency and reliability of the design. However, due to the large number of manufacturers and operators, as well as considering the novelty of using high-performance optical systems, it is difficult to stick to a single method or even to point out one as totally reliable and simple to use. With the purpose of expediting the calculation of link budgets, there are various computational tools that allow this process to be carried out. However, these tools carry the problem of poor compatibility, differences and a low degree of reliability and ease of use. In the present work, the construction and use of a web application is proposed that includes the link budget calculation process for both radio and optical satellite systems, flexible, simple, user-friendly, compatible, and mainly, abode to standardised and documented models for provide reliability and accuracy.

Design and implementation of a physical layer optical fiber security communication system based on a ZUC stream cipher

In this work, we have proposed a new physical layer encryption scheme to improve the security of optical fiber communication systems. The secrecy scheme is based on disturbance of the data cluster under the ZUC algorithm (named for Zu Chongzhi, a famous mathematician in ancient China), which is generated by optical XOR using a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM). A base scrambling pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) generated by the ZUC stream cipher is introduced, which results in a better scrambling effect and randomness in the key stream of the block encryption structure. A simulation setup conducted in an encrypted transmission of the 64×64 grayscale image over 80 km of optical fiber shows that the authorized user can successfully decrypt the received signal, while the eavesdroppers cannot derive useful information with a bit error rate (BER) at approximately 0.5. In the simulation, after setting the delay compensation to 3.125 ps, a correct signal with a Q-factor as high as 11.3642 and a BER as low as 3.14295−30 can be obtained.

Analyzing radiowave multiple diffraction from a low transmitter in vegetated urban areas using a spherical-wave UTD–PO approach

This article introduces a uniform theory of diffraction–physical optics (UTD–PO) formulation for analyzing radiowave multiple diffraction emanating from trees and buildings in green urban areas, considering illumination from a low transmitter and assuming spherical-wave incidence. Based on Babinet’s principle, this solution models buildings as rectangular sections and accounts for the influence of tree crowns (assuming these rise above the average rooftop height) by incorporating appropriate attenuation factors/phasors into the diffraction phenomena of buildings. The validation of the formulation is achieved through measurements made at the 39 GHz 6G mmWave frequency on a scale model of a green urban environment comprising bonsai trees and bricks. The main advantage of the proposed solution is that the calculations only include single diffractions due to recursion, circumventing the need to use higher-order diffraction terms in the diffraction coefficients, thus reducing the computation time and power. Our results may be beneficial for the design of mobile communication systems, including 6G networks, situated in green urban areas and with transmission source positioned lower than the surrounding infrastructure.

A Study on the Irradiance Scintillation Characteristics of Monochromatic LED-Based Visible Light Communication Systems in Weak-to-Strong Turbulence

Atmospheric turbulence causes transmitted light to fade randomly, which results in irradiance scintillation fluctuations in the received signal and significantly affects the quality of wireless optical communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the propagation characteristics of a monochromatic light-emitting diode (LED) light beam through weak-to-strong turbulence. Considering the spatial incoherence of a monochromatic LED light source, the emitted light field of a monochromatic LED light source is represented by a random field multiplied by a deterministic field that follows a Gaussian distribution. Then, based on the extended-Rytov theory, a closed expression for the irradiance scintillation index under weak-to-strong turbulence is derived. In addition, the expression for the fading probability governed by the Gamma–Gamma model is given. Finally, the effects of near-earth atmospheric refractive index structural parameters, signal propagation distances, and working light wavelengths on propagation characteristics of the LED-based VLC system are simulated and compared with those of the laser-based one. The results theoretically confirm that laser light sources are more susceptible to atmospheric turbulence along the propagation path than monochromatic LED light sources. The investigation in this paper can provide theoretical support for the design of visible light communication systems in practical applications.

Low complexity beamforming design in reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted communication systems

Due to the possibility of blockage during communication, the communication quality may be poor. Therefore, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology can effectively solve this problem. In order to increase the capacity of RIS-assisted wireless communication systems, joint optimization of beamforming design is crucial. However, the complexity of the optimization algorithm increases with the increase in the number of base station antennas and RIS elements deployed. Therefore, we propose a joint low-complexity optimization beamforming design based on fractional programming (FP) to address this issue. Specifically, we first use perfect channel state information to maximize the system's sum rate, as this problem is non-convex, we decompose the original problem into three sub-problems, and then introduce appropriate auxiliary variables. We derive optimal closed-form solutions for active and passive beamforming types, respectively. As the optimal solution obtained leads to higher computational complexity with an increase in the number of base station antennas and RIS elements, we reduce the computational complexity of obtaining the optimal solution based on the Woodbury transformation and scalar transformation. The proposed algorithm is also extended to the case where there is channel state information error. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has certain advantages over other algorithms.

This study integrates the telegraph model with the traveling wave coefficient. This model characterizes planar random motion of particles in fluid flow, pressure waves from pulsatile blood flow in arteries, electrical impulses in nerve and muscle cell axons, and electromagnetic waves in superconducting media. Using the efficient and well-established Enhanced Modified Simple Equation (EMSE) method, we investigate solitary wave solution with the variable coefficient of the telegraph model. To investigate the variable coefficient solitary wave solution, we apply a transformation variable η = h(t)x + g(t), which is dependent on the time variable function. The diverse functions of h(t) and g(t) yield many novel and exclusive solutions. Numerical solutions are plotted in 3D, density, and 2D. instanton soliton, kinky periodic wave, lump wave, kink wave, anti-kink wave, double periodic wave, diverse types periodic wave, lump with bell wave periodic wave, periodic lump wave, etc. Solitary waves explain complex wave phenomena through nonlinear effects like self-interaction and dispersion. Due to the classical nonlinear telegraph model's wave dynamics, they are used in brain function and communication system design. We conclude by testing the governing model's modulation instability. Dispersive and nonlinear processes modulating the stable state cause instability in high-order nonlinear equations. Examining the wave movement role and modulation instability analysis to assess solution stability shows that all solutions are accurate and stable. The computational difficulties and results demonstrate the approaches' clarity, effectiveness, and simplicity, suggesting they can be applied to evolutionary dynamic and static nonlinear equations in computational physics, other real-world situations, and numerous academic disciplines.

A high-data-rate hybrid index communication system based on quadrature chaos shift keying

To address the rapidly increasing challenges posed by the demands for large-scale data transmission and processing, this paper proposes a high-data-rate hybrid index modulation communication system based on quadrature chaos shift keying (HR-HIM-QCSK). The system employs a hybrid modulation involving carrier index and slot index. In this approach, three mutually orthogonal reference signals are constructed using Walsh codes. These reference signals are then utilized to create three distinct QCSK signals, distinguishing between the activation modes of carriers and time slots. This design allows all slots to carry QCSK signals, significantly enhancing the data rate of the HR-HIM-QCSK system. Theoretical analysis and simulations conducted under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath Rayleigh fading channels demonstrate that the HR-HIM-QCSK system outperforms other competing systems in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance. Further analysis covers aspects such as data rate, spectral efficiency, complexity and covertness, highlighting the superior performance of the HR-HIM-QCSK system in high-data-rate communication. This study provides valuable insights for the design of efficient chaotic communication systems.

Analysis of potential 5G transmission methods concerning Bit Error Rate

Fifth-generation wireless (5G) significantly impacts individuals' lives and work and is expected to increase. Although OFDM has been used in previous generation technologies (4G), it has limitations in meeting specific criteria such as data. Issues like better power consumption and Bit Error Rate make this technology unsuitable for meeting current needs such as the Internet of Things and user-based processing. This research aims to test the BER success of the transmission technique proposed as a candidate for the 5G communication system. Performance analysis is carried out considering the Tapped Delay Line (TDL-A) channel model, which is recommended for 5G research. Various scenarios, including situations where the transmitter/receiver is fixed or mobile, are considered to provide a more comprehensive evaluation. Evaluations were also carried out on various channel delay distribution profiles to expand the scope of analysis. The research results show that in channel conditions with high delay distribution and mobility, the communication system that uses the FBMC transmission technique shows better and more stable performance compared to OFMD, F-OFMD, WOLA, UFMC systems, it has an SNR of about 36 dB to achieve a BER of approx 10-3 under 10 ns delay spreading conditions, demonstrating the superiority of FBMC in difficult channel conditions These findings emphasize the importance of considering BER and system complexity in the design of future communications systems. Thus, this research provides a significant original contribution to the understanding and developing 5G communication systems.

Implementing green optical waveform system using hybrid cognitive methods for QAM transmission scheme

Abstract This study proposes a hybrid approach combining Energy Detection (ED) and Matched Filter (MF) spectrum sensing techniques to enhance power spectrum density (PSD) in optical Nonorthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) systems. Optical NOMA has emerged as a key technology for boosting spectral efficiency in optical communication networks. However, optimizing PSD remains a critical challenge due to various factors including signal detection and noise interference. The hybrid ED–MF spectrum sensing method aims to address these challenges by leveraging the strengths of both techniques. Energy Detection (ED) offers simplicity and robustness in detecting primary users, making it suitable for initial spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. Matched Filter (MF) spectrum sensing, on the other hand, provides superior signal detection and noise rejection capabilities, particularly in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. By integrating these two techniques, we aim to achieve improved sensitivity and accuracy in spectrum sensing, thus enhancing spectral efficiency and system performance in optical NOMA networks. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid approach is evaluated through theoretical analysis and simulation experiments. Results demonstrate significant enhancements in spectral efficiency and system reliability compared to conventional spectrum sensing methods, highlighting the potential of the hybrid ED–MF approach for enhancing PSD in optical NOMA systems. This research contributes to advancing the design and optimization of optical communication systems for future high-capacity and high-speed data transmission applications. The PSD values −920 are obtained and it confirmed that the proposed algorithm outperforms the standard algorithms.

Exploring and Analyzing a Hybrid PAPR Reduction Method for OFDM Optimization

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a effective modulation technique widely used in modern communication systems, including 5G and wireless networks because of its high spectral efficiency and robustness towards multipath fading. However, OFDM signals are characterized by a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), which can severely impact the power efficiency and operational cost of these systems. This research investigates and analyse effectiveness of two conventional PAPR reduction methods that is Selective Mapping (SLM), and Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) with incorporating their approach of PAPR reduction to develop a hybrid variant: SLM-PTS. This study utilized MATLAB simulations to implement and test each PAPR reduction technique on a standard OFDM system model. Parameters such as the number of subcarriers, oversampling factor, and modulation types were systematically varied to analyze the impact on PAPR, BER, and computational complexity. The effectiveness of each technique was measured using the Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) of PAPR values and BER performance under different channel conditions. Key findings reveal that hybrid techniques, particularly SLM & PTS, offer significant improvements in PAPR reduction compared to traditional methods alone, without a corresponding increase in BER or computational overhead. The research underscores the potential of hybrid PAPR reduction techniques to significantly enhance the efficiency and reliability of OFDM systems. These findings have important implications for the design and optimization of next-generation wireless communication systems, suggesting that hybrid approaches can provide a balanced solution to the longstanding issue of PAPR in OFDM transmissions. This study contributes valuable insights into the practical application of combined PAPR reduction strategies, offering a pathway toward more power-efficient and robust OFDM technologies.

A three‐dimensional parabolic equation with fast reordered‐alternate direction decomposition in atmosphere duct environment

AbstractIn the design and optimisation of marine wireless communication and navigation systems, a thorough investigation of radio wave propagation characteristics under atmospheric ducting conditions is essential. The authors aim to enhance the efficiency of radio wave propagation loss prediction in marine atmospheric ducting environments, proposing a prediction model based on Fast Reordered‐Alternate Direction Decomposition (FR‐ADD). By approximating the diffraction term into three independent components, exploiting the commutative properties of the Fourier transform to reduce the spatial dimensions, and incorporating a rapid algorithm for the parabolic equation, the model optimises the stepping process and significantly improves computational efficiency. Simulation experiments demonstrate that, in the long‐distance and complex marine ducting environments, the model not only maintains prediction accuracy but also substantially reduces computational load and prediction time, effectively realising over‐the‐horizon propagation prediction. In the experiment of radio wave propagation characteristics in the Yellow and Bohai Seas, the simulation data from the FR‐ADD model showed significant correlation with actual measurements and simulations from the AREPS software, confirming the method's efficiency and practicality.
