SUMMARY In this paper we introduce the dual-header pulse interval modulation (DH-PIM) technique employing a simple retransmission coupled with a majority decision detection scheme at the receiver. We analytically investigate the slot error rate (SER) performance and compare results with simulated data for the symbol retransmissions rates of three, four and five, showing a good agreement. We demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the SER compared with the standard single symbol transmission system, with ...
Optical Intensity-Modulated Direct Detection Channels: Signal Space and Lattice Codes
—Traditional approaches to constructing constellations for electrical channels cannot be applied directly to the optical intensity channel. This work presents a structured signal space model for optical intensity channels where the nonnegativity and average amplitude constraints are represented geometrically. Lattice codes satisfying channel constraints are defined and coding and shaping gain relative to a baseline are computed. An effective signal space dimension is defined to represent the precise impact of coding and shaping on bandwidth. Average optical power minimizing shaping regions are derived in some special cases. Example lattice codes are constructed and their performance on an idealized point-to-point wireless optical link is computed. Bandwidth-efficient schemes are shown to have promise for high data-rate applications, but require greater average optical power.
