Digital Electronic Predistortion for Optical Communications

On the performance of multichannel digital backpropagation in high-capacity long-haul optical transmission.

The performance of digital backpropagation (DBP) equalization when applied over multiple channels to compensate for the nonlinear impairments in optical fiber transmission systems is investigated. The impact of a suboptimal multichannel DBP operation is evaluated, where implementation complexity is reduced by varying parameters such as the number of nonlinear steps per span and sampling rate.

Enhancing the decoding performance of optical wireless communication systems using receiver-side predistortion.

White light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been widely utilized for illumination owing to their desired properties of inherent bright output, high efficiency, low power consumption and long life-time. They are also increasingly applied in optical wireless communications for realizing high data rate transmission. This paper presents an improved scheme relying on the insertion of a simple predistort...

OFDM in Optical Long-Haul Transmission

In this paper we review two OFDM based architectures, which have recently been proposed for optical long-haul transmission. The BER performance is investigated in presence of chromatic dispersion and differential group delay. In a further step both architectures are extended to polarization diversity receivers. Improvement is achieved by diversity combining at the expense of increased complexity.

Optical Techniques for Fronthaul Networks

This paper introduces various techniques for a new fronthaul network segment applied in centralized radio access networks (C-RAN) architecture. The promising fronthaul interfaces are described which are considered to meet physical requirements for the fronthaul network segment and to build a new radio access network solution. Various optical solutions including CPRI (Common Public Radio Interfa...
