Item Wireless-optical-communication-based cooperative IoT and IoUT system for ocean monitoring applications(The Optical Society, 2021) Naik, R.P.; G.D., G.D.G.; Krishnan, P.This paper proposes the idea of a new cooperative communication between the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) using wireless optical connectivity for ocean monitoring applications.We considered IoT communication using a hybrid radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) link and IoUT using a underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) link. Channel models for RF, FSO, and UWOC links are considered to be Rayleigh,Malaga with pointing errors, and hyperbolic tangent log-normal distributions, respectively. The outage probability and the bit error rate (BER) expressions for the proposed system are derived over the combined channel model, which includes the effects of attenuation, turbulence, and pointing errors. The BER results are plotted for various binary digital modulation schemes such as on-off keying, binary phase-shift keying, binary frequency-shift keying, and differential phase-shift keying over UWOC, hybrid RF/FSO and RF-UWOC, FSO-UWOCwith end-to-end systems.BERresults are extended for various turbulence regions and pointing errors of theFSOlink.MonteCarlo simulation results authenticate the correctness of the results. © 2021 Optical Society of America.Item Efficient Channel Prediction Technique Using AMC and Deep Learning Algorithm for 5G (NR) mMTC Devices(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Sharma, V.; Arya, R.K.; Kumar, S.Efficient utilisation of adaptive modulation and coding ensures the quality transmission of information bits through the significant reduction in bit error rate (BER). Channel prediction using parametric estimation is not efficient for massive machine-type communication (mMTC) devices under the 5G New Radio (NR). In this paper, we have proposed a channel prediction scheme based on a deep learning (DL) algorithm possessed by parametric analysis. In deep learning, the pipeline methodology is used along with the image processing technique to predict the channel condition for optimal selection of the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) profile. The deep learning-based pipelining approach utilises image restoration (IR) and image super-resolution (SR). The super-resolution method is used to de-noise the low-pixel 2-D image that is obtained from the parametric value of the beacon to predict the channel condition. The estimation results are compared with the conventional minimum mean square error (MMSE) and an approximation to the linear MMSE (ALMMSE) method, which is obtained through channel state information (CSI). The comparison results show that the parametric-enabled deep learning approach is superior, especially in poorer channel conditions. The performance of BER through parametric estimation along with the DL approach is 66% more efficient as compared to the conventional MMSE method for BPSK mapping. © 2013 IEEE.Item Performance investigation of underwater wireless optical system for image transmission through the oceanic turbulent optical medium(Springer, 2022) Naik, R.P.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Lal, S.; Krishnan, P.The importance of resources contained in the sea and on the sea floor is increasing with each passing day. Hence, exploration of the sea and sea floor has become a very important requirement. Underwater imaging is a science that has gained importance over the past two decades. Underwater images indicate the state of sea floor and transmitting such images through the harsh and turbulent oceanic medium can cause deterioration of the information contained in the image due to diminished color reproduction, low contrast and blur. In this paper, we have performed the simulation studies to understand perturbations induced during the transmission of sea floor images using high-speed optical signaling through the underwater channels. The transmitted irradiance often suffers from underwater turbulence and beam attenuation. The bit error rate (BER) of the system proposed to transmit information through channels has been determined through analytic means and validated through Monte-Carlo simulation. Comparison between the transmitted and received images in the presence of turbulence and attenuation have been presented. The BER performance of the proposed system is evaluated in the presence of beam attenuation and underwater turbulence. The turbulence induced errors are minimized using the transmit/receive diversity and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques. In addition to the diversity techniques, median and adaptive median filters used to minimize the distortion in the received image. The BER results show that the 4 × 5 MIMO system gains 19.50 dB of transmit power at BER of 10 - 5, when compared with the single input single output system. Similarly, an improvement of at-least 18 dB peak signal to noise ratio obtain using the adaptive median filter based system over the un-filter based system. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted free-space optical communication system under the influence of signal blockage for smart-city applications(Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2022) Naik, R.P.; Krishnan, P.; G.D., G.D.G.Atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors represent substantial hurdles to free-space optical communications (FSOs), impeding their practical design. The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an emerging technology that enables reflective radio transmission conditions for next-generation 5G/6G wireless frameworks by intelligently adjusting the beam in the desired direction using low-cost inactive reflecting elements. In this paper, we proposed an RIS-assisted FSO system for mitigating the effects of atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors, and communication system signal blockage. The probability density function and cumulative distribution functions of an FSO system composed of N-RIS elements are evaluated in a free-space environment that contains obstructions. We derived closed-form expressions for the proposed system's bit error rate (BER), outage probability, and channel capacity. The proposed system's performance is analyzed in terms of BER, outage probability, and channel capacity under various weather conditions, pointing errors, and signal blockage. The results are plotted as a function of number of RIS elements and average signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed system will be beneficial in smart-city applications since it will provide reliable connectivity in urban environments with a high population density and high-rise buildings. © 2022 Optica Publishing GroupItem On the Design of SSRS and RS Codes for Enhancing the Integrity of Information Storage in NAND Flash Memories(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Achala, G.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Srihari, P.The revolution in the field of information processing systems has created a huge demand for reliable and enhanced data storage capabilities. This demand is being met by advances in channel coding algorithms along with upward scaling of the capacities of hardware devices. NAND Flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory. Scaling of the size of flash memories from Single Level Cell (SLC) devices to Multilevel cell (MLC) devices has increased the storage capacity. However, these multi-bit per cell architectures are characterized by significantly higher Raw Bit Error Rate (RBER) values when compared with SLC architectures. The requirement of low Undetected Bit Error Rate (UBER) values has motivated us to synthesize powerful channel codes for enhancing the integrity of information Storage in multi-level NAND Flash Memory devices. This paper describes the synthesis of novel Subfield Subcodes of Reed Solomon Codes (SSRS) and Reed-Solomon (RS) codes which are matched to multi-bit per cell architectures. UBER values have been calculated for each of the synthesized codes described in this paper. This allows the determination of the performance and the improvement in data storage integrity brought by using these codes. We have shown that the synthesized SSRS and RS codes can provide very low UBER even when the corresponding RBER values are appreciable. As RS codes permit the detection and correction of a greater number of errors for a given code length, their performance is superior to that of SSRS codes. This improved performance is obtained at the cost of greater complexity of encoding and decoding processes. © 2013 IEEE.Item BER analysis of a full-duplex relay-assisted BPSK-SIM based VLC system for indoor applications(Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2023) Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Naik, R.P.; Choudhari, D.; Krishnan, P.; G.D., G.D.G.; Jagadeesh, V.K.This paper contemplates a relay-assisted visible light communication (VLC) system, where the light source (table lamp) acts as a relay node and cooperates with the main light source. Following the IEEE 802.15.7r1 VLC reference channel model, we assume that there are two different light sources present in an office room. The first one is the source terminal present on the ceiling and another one is the desk lamp that serves as the relay station, which works in a full-duplex method. Because of the loop interference channel, we model the VLC relay terminal using ray tracing simulations. We have analyzed the bit error rate (BER) performance of the relay-assisted VLC system using a binary phase shift keying–subcarrier intensity modulation (BPSK-SIM) technique. The proposed method outperforms existing phase shift keying (PSK) and square M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) techniques. The proposed VLC system using the BPSK-SIM technique achieves a BER performance of 10−12 for an SNR of 20 dB. The results of the proposed full-duplex and half-duplex relayed VLC systems are evaluated using equal power allocation (EPA) and optimum power allocation (OPA) techniques over three different modulation schemes, which are 2-PSK, square M-QAM, and BPSK-SIM. © 2023 Optica Publishing Group.Item All-Optical UAV-Based Triple-Hop FSO-FSO-VLC Cooperative System for High-Speed Broadband Internet Access in High-Speed Trains(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Aarthi, A.; Bhargava Kumar, L.B.; Krishnan, P.; Natarajan, R.; Jayakody, D.N.K.In this paper, we proposed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based all optical triple hop mixed free space optical-free space optical-visible light communication (FSO-FSO-VLC) system for broadband internet access in high-speed train applications. The system consists of triple hops from gateway to the UAV, UAV to train and train to the end user. Two decode and forward relays are mounted on the UAV and train respectively to transmit the data between the gateway to the end-users. The first hop between gateway to UAV consist of FSO link which follows M-distribution. The second hop between the UAV to train consists of FSO link and is modelled using Gamma-Gamma distribution which takes into account both atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors due to position/orientation deviation. The third hop between the train and end user is connected using VLC link and it is mathematically modelled using Lambertian emission distribution. The relays map the incoming signal on the FSO links and send it down to the user inside the train via the VLC downlink. We derived the closed form expressions for average bit error rate and outage probability of the proposed system. This paper investigates the effects of atmospheric turbulence, field of view, beam divergence angle, displacement deviation variance, optical concentrator gain, number of access point, and modulation schemes on system performance. First time, we proposed all-optical system which offers high data rate and low transmission delay. © 2013 IEEE.Item Experimental Demonstration and Performance Analysis of Free Space and Underwater Optical Wireless Communication Systems(Springer, 2024) Kannan, A.; Bhavana, V.; Younus, S.M.; Rehaman, S.M.; Krishnan, P.This research paper presents the development and implementation of a real-time communication system that utilizes LEDs for transmitting text, image, and audio through Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) and Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) channels. The impact of atmospheric and oceanic attenuation and turbulences are considered for the performance analysis of the proposed system. The various atmospheric weather conditions like light fog, dense fog, and heavy rain are considered for FSOC while in the case of UWOC, effects like pure water, and seawater with turbulence and without turbulence are considered. The outcomes of the experiments and simulations, including quality factors, eye diagrams, and bit error rates, are plotted and discussed in the results. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.Item Performance of Spatially Coupled LDPC Codes over the Underwater Wireless Optical Channel with Strong Turbulence and Pointing Errors(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Padala, S.K.; D'Souza, J.The major problems in an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) link are turbulence induced fading and pointing errors. In this paper, we have investigated the bit error rate (BER) performance of spatially coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) coded horizontal UWOC link over a strong turbulent channel model with pointing errors. The performance of this link for different channel and code parameters has been studied using simulations. It has been observed that a rate 1/2 ARJA protograph based SC-LDPC code with graph lifting factor of 256 gives a coding gain of 47 dB at a BER of 10^-4 for strong turbulence channel model with pointing errors. An analytical BER expression for an uncoded UWOC link under strong turbulence with pointing errors for the On-Off Keying modulation technique has been derived. A multidimensional protograph based extrinsic information transfer algorithm has been developed to obtain the decoding thresholds for different channel parameters and code rates. We have also studied the SC-LDPC coded vertical UWOC link performance for some specific strong turbulence channel parameters with pointing errors and observed that as the link length increases from 20 m to 40 m , the performance gap between the hypothetical and cascaded channel models increases from 1.1 dB to 5.5 dB. © 2013 IEEE.Item FPGA Implementation of SSRS Codes for NAND Flash Memory Device(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Achala, G.; Nandana, S.; Jomy, F.; Girish, M.M.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Srihari, P.; Cenkarmaddi, L.R.NAND flash memory is a non-volatile storage device that is extensively used in personal electronic gadgets, digital television, digital cameras, and many consumer/ professional electronics devices. Error control coding techniques have been incorporated to improve the integrity of information stored in these devices. We have synthesized the Subfield Subcodes of Reed Solomon codes (SSRS) for use on Multi-Level cell (MLC), Triple Level Cell (TLC), and Quadruple Level Cell (QLC) NAND flash devices. The primary advantage of these codes is that the codeword symbols can be correctly matched to the number of bits that can be stored in these multilevel cells. Deployment of these codes improves the integrity of information storage and useful life. This paper describes the implementation of the encoder and decoder of SSRS codes synthesized for MLC, TLC, and QLC NAND flash devices. The encoder circuit is designed using addition and multiplication tables derived from elements of synthesized SSRS codes. The Non-binary decoding procedure consists of the syndrome computation, Berlekamp -Massey algorithm, Chein search, and Forney's algorithm. The designed encoder requires 16% resources for MLC, 18% of resources for TLC, and 18% of resources for QLC. This research work has reported the design of very high rate (R ≥ 0.97) codes that can bring about significant improvements to the Undetected Bit Error Rate (UBER) even when the Raw Bit Error rate (RBER) values are significant (> 10-3). © 2013 IEEE.
