Shannon capacities and error-correction codes for optical atmospheric turbulent channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The propagation of an ON–OFF keying modulated optical signal through an optical atmospheric turbulent channel is considered. The intensity fluctuations of the signal observed at the receiver are modeled using a gamma–gamma distribution. The capacity of this channel is determined for a wide range of turbulence conditions. For a zero inner scale, the capacity decreases monotonically as the turbulence strengthens. For non-zero inner scale, the capacity is not monotonic with turbulence strength. Two error-correction schemes, based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, are investigated as a means to improve the bit-error rate (BER) performance of the system. Very large coding gains—ranging from 5.5 to 14 dB, depending on the turbulence conditions—are obtained by these LDPC codes compared with Reed–Solomon error-correction codes of similar rates and lengths. © 2005 Optical Society of America

Performance bounds for coded free-space optical communications through atmospheric turbulence channels
Error-control codes can help to mitigate atmospheric turbulence-induced signal fading in free-space optical communication links using intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD). Error performance bound analysis can yield simple analytical upper bounds or approximations to the bit-error probability. In this letter, we first derive an upper bound on the pairwise codeword-error probability for ...
متن کاملQuantum Channel Capacity of Very Noisy Channels
We present a family of additive quantum error-correcting codes whose capacities exceeds that of quantum random coding (hashing) for very noisy channels. These codes provide non-zero capacity in a depolarizing channel for fidelity parameters f when f > .80944. Random coding has non-zero capacity only for f > .81071; by analogy to the classical Shannon coding limit, this value had previously been...
متن کاملOn the Achievable Information Rate of Asymmetric Optical Fiber Channels with Amplifier Spontaneous Emission Noise
This work is motivated by the need to understand the fundamental limit of channel capacities of optical fiber communication channels where amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise is dominant and to understand how much has been achieved by the stateof-the-art forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques. Two most commonly used channel models, the Chi-square channel and its Gaussian approx...

متن کاملErrata for "Good error-correcting codes based on very sparse matrices"
We study two families of error-correcting codes defined in terms of very sparse matrices. “MN” (MacKay–Neal) codes are recently invented, and “Gallager codes” were first investigated in 1962, but appear to have been largely forgotten, in spite of their excellent properties. The decoding of both codes can be tackled with a practical sum-product algorithm. We prove that these codes are “very good...
