Performance of Cooperative System Based on LDPC Codes in Wireless Optical Communication

TLDR
This paper proposes to place a DF (Decode and Forward) relay between the transmitter and the receiver, using the LDPC (Low-density Parity-check) codes at the relay level, and introduces the series relays to connect two very distant sites by also using LDPC at the level of each relay.
Abstract
This paper proposes the use of the technique of cooperative systems in wireless optical communication. Several obstacles can degrade the performance of information transmission in wireless optical links. These include atmospheric turbulence in communication links greater than 1 km, the rocking of buildings, wireless optical channel fading and flickering. Several studies have shown that the use of cooperative systems in this communication technique has better performance compared to conventional systems. To improve the performance of the transmission in the optical links we propose to place a DF (Decode and Forward) relay between the transmitter and the receiver, using the LDPC (Low-density Parity-check) codes at the relay level. Another innovation of this article is the introduction of the series relays to connect two very distant sites by also using LDPC at the level of each relay. Our method achieves a remarkable efficiency in terms of BER (Bit Error Rate) compared to some previous work.

Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: Efficient protocols and outage behavior

TL;DR: Using distributed antennas, this work develops and analyzes low-complexity cooperative diversity protocols that combat fading induced by multipath propagation in wireless networks and develops performance characterizations in terms of outage events and associated outage probabilities, which measure robustness of the transmissions to fading.

Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

TL;DR: A simple but nonoptimum decoding scheme operating directly from the channel a posteriori probabilities is described and the probability of error using this decoder on a binary symmetric channel is shown to decrease at least exponentially with a root of the block length.

Good error-correcting codes based on very sparse matrices

TL;DR: It is proved that sequences of codes exist which, when optimally decoded, achieve information rates up to the Shannon limit, and experimental results for binary-symmetric channels and Gaussian channels demonstrate that practical performance substantially better than that of standard convolutional and concatenated codes can be achieved.
