Adaptive threshold decision for on-off keying transmission systems in atmospheric turbulence
Abstract:
This paper investigates an adaptive threshold decision (ATD) scheme without the knowledge of channel state information (CSI) for optical wireless communication (OWC). Based on the low-pass characteristic of atmospheric turbulence channels, a low-pass filter is designed for the received signals, and the filtered signal can be employed as decision threshold. Theoretical analyses show that performance of ATD is very close to that with perfect CSI. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme shows only 0.0221dB signal-to-noise (SNR) loss at most with Rytov variance of 0.05 and SNR of 21dB. An indoor experiment results are presented, which match well with that of theoretical prediction. The scheme is simple and without CSI, hence the efficient scheme makes the real-time implementation of high-speed transmissions for OWC based on ATD feasible.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
