This article presents an efficient error-control code (ECC) and modulation for an optical
communications channel. The coded modulation is designed to support NASA's Mars Laser …

Turbulence-induced fading is a critical performance degrading factor for underwater
wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. In this paper, we propose a quasi-cyclic …

Signal modulation has an important impact on the system performance in optical
communication. Two attractive modulation schemes are pulse position modulation (PPM) …

The performance of free-space optical (FSO) communication systems adopting multipulse
PPM (MPPM) techniques is investigated taking into account the effects of both the …

In this letter, we address two questions concerning the application of multipulse pulse-
position modulation (MPPM) for free-space optical (FSO) communications:(1) under what …

Owing to the extremely narrow beams, a main issue in optical deep space communications
is represented by miss-pointing errors, which may severely degrade the system performance …

In this first paper of a two-part series, a single-user single-input single-output (SISO) shot-
noise-limited Poisson channel is considered over which an information signal is transmitted …

Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) has become the de facto coding standard for
communication systems. Recently, BICM has been cast as a mismatched decoding scheme …

The performance of multipulse pulse-position modulation (MPPM) in non-line-of-sight
(NLOS) ultraviolet communications (UVC) with output signals of detectors following Poisson …

We numerically evaluate the deep-space communication performance in a broadband lossy
channel of coherent pulse position modulation (PPM) with an on/off receiver, single-symbol …
