It is shown that, for a simple threshold detector based receiver, DPIM can out perform PPM in terms of bandwidth efficiency and power efficiency, by taking advantage of its inherent variable symbol duration.
Abstract
This paper presents a study of digital pulse interval modulation (DPIM) as a candidate modulation scheme for optical wireless communications. DPIM code characteristics are discussed and the theoretical error probability performance of DPIM is analyzed in terms of the packet error rate. Performance comparisons are made with the more established techniques of on-off keying and pulse position modulation (PPM). We show that, for a simple threshold detector based receiver, DPIM can out perform PPM in terms of bandwidth efficiency and power efficiency, by taking advantage of its inherent variable symbol duration. Practical results are given for an experimental system in the form of eye diagrams. The use of a coding scheme with a non-uniform symbol duration does have implications for system design, which are discussed in the paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a detection technique based on differential signaling for outdoor free space optical communications is proposed, which does not suffer from the computational load compared with the conventional receivers, where adjusting dynamically the detection threshold level (either based on CSI knowledge, or by using pilots) leads to increased computational time and reduced link throughput.

Differential pulse-position modulation for power-efficient optical communication

TL;DR: It is shown that for a given bandwidth, DPPM requires significantly less average power than pulse position modulation (PPM), and the ISI penalties incurred by PPM and DPPM exhibit very similar dependencies upon the channel RMS delay spread.
