Hybrid Communication System Based on OFDM

By Farman Ullah Nadia N Qadri Muhammad Asif Zakriyya Aamir Khan

A Hybrid architecture between terrestrial and satellite networks based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is employed here. In hybrid architecture, the users will be able to avail the services through the terrestrial networks as well as the satellite networks. The users located in urban areas will be served by the existing terrestrial mobile networks and similarly the one located in rural areas will be provided services through the satellite networks.
The technique which is used to achieve this objective is called Pre-FFT adaptive beamforming also called time domain beamforming. When the data is received at the satellite end, the Pre-FFT adaptive beamforming extracts the desired user data from the interferer user by applying the complex weights to the received symbol. The weight for the next symbol is then updated by Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and then is applied to it. This process is carried out till all the desired user data is extracted.

The hybrid architecture of Terrestrial and Satellite networks discussed in this paper utilizes frequency reuse. However, at the same time the frequency reuse results in Co-Channel Interference (CCI). The CCI is caused by the mobile users to the satellite end because of the strong receiver on the satellite end. Mainly, this paper will focus on to tone down the CCI and would also show that how the OFDM based adaptive beamforming can be employed to mitigate this interference. The technique which is being used to mitigate this interference is Pre-FFT adaptive beamforming also called as time domain beamforming. In this paper, main task is to mitigate the CCI which is induced by the mobile users to the satellite end and will be considered that there are J users. Out of these J users there is one desired user and rest are interferers. When the interfered data is received at the satellite end, the Pre-FFT adaptive beamforming extracts the desired user data from the interferers by applying the complex weights to the received symbol. The weight for the next symbol is then updated by Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and then is applied to it. This process is carried out till all the desired user data is extracted from the interference signal.

Effect of Four Wave Mixing on AP-DCDM-WDM Fiber Optic System with Different Power per Channel

By Farman Ullah Aamir Khan Nadia N Qadri Muhammad Masood Sarfraz

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2013.03.02, Pub. Date: 8 Sep. 2013

Absolute polar duty cycle division multiplexing over WDM is a multiplexing technique which promises better spectral efficiency. Non linearities in fiber optic communication are major issues, especially the effect of four wave mixing. This paper presents the effect of four wave mixing on 40 Gbps AP-DCDM over WDM fiber optic systems. The system was tested by simulating the AP-DCDM-WDM design in Optisystem software and MATLAB code. From the results the effect of four wave mixing on the system is presented under different configurations such as input power per channel. Simulation results have shown that AP-DCDM-WDM systems have greater tolerance to dispersion and have better receiver sensitivity than other conventional techniques. The effect of FWM on AP-DCDM-WDM system is also less than on other conventional techniques on basis of simulation.
