Abstract
In this letter, we investigate the performance improvement of binary polarization shift keying (2-PolSK) transmission over the ultraviolet scattering channels. To this end, we statistically characterize the cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) of the channel when horizontal and vertical polarization are individually transmitted. The received polarization is characterized in terms of its statistical moments and approximating it to be truncated Gaussian distributed. To enhance 2-PolSK error performance, we propose XPD-dependent optimal thresholding. Electric field Monte Carlo (EFMC) simulation is used to realize the channel. The bit error rate results show a significant improvement through our proposed approach as compared to the conventional symmetric thresholding-based signal reception.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
