In this paper we present a novel method for high data rate transmissions in ultra-wideband (UWB) communications systems. This is achieved through the combination of conventional pulse position modulation and pulse shape modulation schemes. The result is a pulse shape and positionmodulation that allows transmission of more bits of information in the same amount of time and using the same number of pulses as the conventional schemes. A feature of the proposed system is that the allowable alphabet is limited so as to ensure equal power in transmission of all symbols. Symbol size can also be easily changed without significantly changing the hardware of the system. Theoretical error performance analysis of this system is also provided.

pulse position modulation-ultra wideband (PPM-UWB) communication adopts ultra narrow pulse as the transmitted signal. Owing to the low-power spectral density and ultra wide bandwidth, it is difficult to detect and sample PPM-UWB signal directly. There are already some researches on using compressed sensing (CS) theory for UWB communication with lower sampling speed. However, these methods take the sparseness of pulseposition or transmission channel into account separately and they are unfit for practical communication. To solve these problems, a dual-sparse reconstruction method is proposed in this paper to process PPM-UWB communication signal based on CS theory. Proposed method designs the target signal which needed to be reconstructed as a dual-sparse vector. This vector combines the sparseness of PPM pulseposition and UWB channel multi-paths simultaneously, hence it has dual sparseness. The information code can be demodulated from reconstructed dual-sparse vector directly by using energy detection method. Extensive numerical simulations demonstrate the validity and applicability of proposed method.

An underwater wireless optical communication link can provide high-speed data transfer for robotics applications in deep waters. However, optical links are limited in terms of coverage range because of the high attenuation of light in water caused by absorption and scattering effects. In this work, a new optical transceiver architecture is proposed to solve this coverage problem via a novel Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based Polarized pulse position modulation (in short, P-OFDM-PPM) with time-frequency spreading. The optical polarization diversity and multiplexing are utilized at the optical transmitter to improve the system's robustness and the transmission data rate. This new scheme is able to boost the range coverage by several folds as verified via simulations using realistic models of optical channel propagation. The proposed architecture can be integrated into existing underwater robots to enable next-generation range-extended and high-speed optical links for oceanic explorations.

In this paper, a low complexity data demodulation algorithm is proposed that requires time of arrival information of the received signal exclusively. As an application example, the algorithm is applied to an ultra-wideband impulse radio communication system with pulse position modulation. The algorithm is insensitive to a common time delay for all pulses, that means, it does not require an accurate synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver. For the performance estimation, only a symbol synchronization is assumed, i.e., that there is a priori knowledge which pulse marks the beginning of a received data symbol. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated for straightforward time of arrivals estimators, such as a maximum detector or a threshold detector. It is shown that the proposed algorithm outperforms a least squares algorithm in all considered scenarios. In particular, an increased robustness against additive white Gaussian noise, impulse like noise, and multiuser interference is demonstrated as well as an improved performance for multipath propagation channels.

A novel photonic approach to generating ultra-wideband (UWB) signals with pulse position modulation (PPM) is proposed. The proposed system consists of two subsystems, the first subsystem being a two-tap photonic microwave delay-line filter for UWB monocycle pulse generation, the second subsystem being a pulse-position-modulation module to achieve PPM. When a Gaussian pulse train is inputted to the first subsystem, a monocycle pulse train is generated. The PPM is then realised in the second subsystem by modulating the state of polarisation of the monocycle pulse train with a data sequence, which is then sent to a polarisation-dependent device to introduce a time delay difference. An UWB signal with PPM at a bit rate of 625 Mbit/s is experimentally generated.

The effect of multipath dispersion on multiple pulse position modulation (MPPM) and its variants PPM and overlapping PPM are examined. Upper bounds for the error probability of each modulation scheme in the presence of intersymbol interference are presented, considering both an unequalised receiver and the optimal maximum-likelihood sequence detection receiver. Numerical results show that all the PPM-based schemes are approximately equally sensitive to multipath dispersion, and significantly more sensitive to multipath dispersion than on-off keying when maximum-likelihood sequence detection is used.

In this study, the authors propose a method to minimise the multi-user interference (MUI) caused by multiple access (MA) in a time hopping ultra-wide-band (TH-UWB) system with line-of-sight (LOS) multi-path channel in a residential environment IEEE 802.15.4a channel model. The authors considered both synchronous and asynchronous cases. The problem is formulated as a combinatorial optimisation problem (COP) and solved by means of an efficient optimisation algorithm called guided local search (GLS). The optimisation criterion is the average collision number (ACN). The code optimisation method is validated by simulating the system and computing the binary error rate.

The main drawback in communicating via the free space optical (FSO) channel is the detrimental effect the atmosphere has on a propagating laser beam. Atmospheric turbulence causes random fluctuations in the irradiance of the received optical laser beam, commonly referred to as scintillation. This paper investigates the use of multiple lasers and multiple apertures to mitigate the effects of scintillation. In particular, the FSO multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel with Q-ary pulse position modulation (QPPM) and transmit repetition under the assumption of non-ideal photodetection is analyzed in terms of its uncoded bit error rate (BER) and ergodic channel capacity. This analysis is based, in part, on the use of irradiance fluctuation samples that were obtained from a laser range experiment that was conducted in the presence of moderate turbulence conditions. Expressions are derived for the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of a received bit, uncoded BER and ergodic capacity. Using these results it is shown that large gains are possible with the use of MIMO combined with strong coding techniques.
