PAPR and security in OFDM-PON via optimum block dividing with dynamic key and 2D-LASM

An approach for peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) reduction and security improvement in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network (OFDM-PON) is proposed by using optimum block dividing with 2-dimensional logistic adjusted sine map (2D-LASM) and dynamic key assignment technique. One frame of OFDM signal can be regarded as a symbol matrix. All the divisors of length and width of matrix can be calculated out, and each divisor of length and width can be arbitrarily combined to divide the matrix into blocks. A 4D hyperchaotic system is applied to generate a cipher book for 2D-LASM. And we assign different dynamic key groups from the cipher book for 2D-LASM to encrypt different block dividing situations. Different encrypted divisor blocks can obtain different values of PAPR. The optimum dividing situation is obtained by calculating out the minimum value of PAPR (V_PAPR). The values of optimum encryption signal (V_PAPR-op), the original signal (V_PAPR-or) and the optimization ratio (η) are gradually equal to 146, 269 and 1.82, respectively, with the number of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols in each subcarrier increasing. Simulating 1000 sets of 120×200 QAM symbols, the distribution of η approximately meets the Rayleigh distribution and its central distribution is around 1.7. The processing time decreases with the number of QAM symbols increasing in each block. The performance of PAPR reduction is more than 3 dB between the secure optimum signal and the original signal. In addition, the hyper-threading technique with two algorithms is applied to improve the performance of the encryption method. They promote the processing time by 38.6% and 50%, respectively. Finally, a 22.06 Gb/s optimum encryption OFDM signal transmits through a back-to-back (BTB) system and a 25-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF). These experimental results verify that the proposed approach is a promising candidate for solving both of PAPR reduction and security improvement in access network systems.
