Optimization of power optical transmission network based on photo-electronic hybrid cross-connection technology by Yang ZHAO, Wei SONG, Chengyu DUAN, Fang SHEN, Xiaohong ZHANG, Jihua ZHAO

“…A preliminary analysis to the current situation of the power grid optical transmission network was made.The power grid optical transmission network is facing huge challenges such as the increasing transmission capacity, the increasingly complex topology, the flexible scheduling of services and the evolution of network intelligence.By adopting photoelectric layered cross processing, electric layer cross focus on small particles business convergence and long distance electric regeneration, optical layer routing provides the flexible wavelength routing, based on colorless, directionless, and contention less flexible grid configurable add/drop architecture CDC-F ROADM technology to optimize network structure, improve the network transmission efficiency, reducing energy consumption and space, which also benefits the evolution of network intelligence, and greatly save the construction and operational costs.…”

Improving community structure strategy for efficiently enhancing Internet transmission performance by Jun CAI, Shun-zheng YU

“…An efficient weakening community structure strategy (WCS) by adding links to the existing networks was propose,which could enhance Internet transmission performance.Internet topology reconstruction could be realized by WCS strategy,because lightpaths that represent logical links between nodes could achieve the same high performance as physical links by means of optically bypassing intermediate nodes.The performance of the proposed strategy was investigated in pseudo random networks with community structure scale-free network with community structure and Internet,topology respectively,for both local routing strategy and global shortest-path routing strategy.The experimental results show that the traffic capacity of networks and the average shortest path are considerably improved by adding a few links among communities.…”

A QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home by Shuai SHAO, Zhijun SHANG, Zhongfeng WANG, Guoliang XIN, Yueyue LI, Xiangyu KONG, Xujing PENG

“…A QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home was proposed.Firstly,the distribution structure of different buildings was combined to carry out targeted ODN line path design.Secondly,in the ONU packet cluster planning stage,in order to meet the QoS requirements of multi-service differentiation,the communication cost as the optimization goal was uesd,and the optimization problem model was established with the constraints of access capacity,reliability and delay.At the same time,intelligent algorithms were used to solve the optimization problem model.Finally,the optical path attenuation of the planned network was calculated to meet the actual application needs.The simulation results show that the proposed QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home can save network construction cost while ensuring service reliability and delay requirements.…”

Simple constellation shaping for BICM-ID by Qi LI, Lin ZHOU, Bo ZHANG, Bao-ming BAI

“…A novel method of constellation mapping is presented for bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) by combining geometry shaping with probabilistic shaping.The transmitted signal points of a practical signal constellation approach the optimal input distribution by exploiting a many-to-one mapping with some signal points unused.With this method,shaping gain can be achieved conveniently with the help of iterative decoding between demodulation and decoder.The optimizations of signal constellation and the mapping from symbols to signal points are performed by the analysis of capacity and the extrinsic information transfer chart.Simulation results show that the proposed constellation mapping outperforms the traditional Gray mapping for BICM with iterative decoding in both AWGN and Rayleigh channels.And the shaping gain achieved can be improved with the increase of the constellation size.…”

Analysis of stability condition for LDPC codes and optimizing degree sequences over mixed channel by Kang-ning SUN, Lin-hua MA, Le RU, Wen-tong FAN, Xing HU, Shao-cheng HUANG

“…Under the circumstance that white Gaussian noise and random erasures exist all at once,the stability condition for LDPC codes over mixed channel was proposed.And it was proved that a good degree sequence of LDPC codes was not optimized over mixed channel.It can also be proved by simulation.The random particle swarm optimization (RPSO) and simulated annealing (SA) algorithm were combined to find some capacity-approaching degree sequences over mixed channel with different erasure probabilities.The threshold of signal-to-noise ratio improves 1.615 9 dB than that of the classical degree sequences calculated by Gaussian approximation over mixed channel.These degree sequences are optimal for optical recording and frequency-hopping communication with narrow-band interference.…”
