The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to most advanced topics of
(i) wireless communications, (ii) free-space optical (FSO) communications, (iii)
indoor optical wireless (infrared, IR) communications, and (iv) fiber-optics com-
munications. So far these different types of communication systems have been
considered as separate disciplines. However, the fundamental concepts, such as
propagation principles, modulation formats, channel coding, diversity principles,
MIMO signal processing, multicarrier modulation, equalization, adaptive modula-
tion and coding, detection principles, and software-defined transmission, are com-
mon. The key idea of this book is to consider these different types of
communication systems in a unified fashion. The fundamental concepts, listed
above, are described first, followed by a detailed description of each particular
system. The book is self-contained and structured to provide straightforward
guidance to readers looking to capture fundamentals and gain theoretical and
practical knowledge about wireless communications, free-space optical communi-
cations, and fiber-optics communications, which can be readily applied in their
research and practical applications.
This book unifies wireless, free-space optical, IR, and fiber-optics communica-
tions. Unique features of the book include as follows:
• This book integrates wireless communications, free-space optical communica-
tions, indoor IR (optical wireless) communications, and fiber-optics communi-
cation technologies.
• This book does not require prior knowledge in communication systems.
• This book does not require any prerequisite material except basic concepts on
vector algebra at undergraduate level.
• This book offers in-depth exposition on propagation effects in different media
(free space, fiber optics, atmospheric turbulence channels), channel impairments
in these media, noise sources, key components and modules enabling wireless
and optical communications, channel capacity studies, advanced modulation and
multiplexing techniques, advanced detection and channel compensation

The earliest optical and wireless communication systems consisted of fire or smoke
signals, signaling lamps, and semaphore flags to convey a single piece of informa-
tion [1–4]. For example, a relatively sophisticated ancient communication system,
along the Great Wall of China, was composed of countless beacon towers [5].
In this ancient communication system, the number of lanterns or the color of smoke
was used as a means to inform the size of an invading enemy, which represents a
crude form of simultaneously digital communication and multilevel signaling. By
using the beacon towers, with the guards in each tower positioned at regular
distances along the Great Wall, a message could be transmitted from one end of
the Great Wall to the other, more than 7300 km, in slightly more than 1 h
[5]. Therefore, this ancient communication system has many similarities with
today’s relay or regeneration systems, in which the beacon towers can be consid-
ered as relays. Relay or regeneration systems were further studied by Claude
Chappe in 1792 to transmit coded messages optically over distance of 100 km
[1]. In next two subsections, we describe the evolution of both wireless communi-
cation systems [2, 6–10] and optical communication systems [1, 3–5, 11–15].
Toward these goals, the FCC recently approved the new spectrum for 5G,
including the 28, 37, and 39 GHz bands [18]. Key enabling technologies for 5G
include [19]:
(i) The employment of a wireless software-defined network (WSDN).
(ii) The use of network function virtualization (NFV).
(iii) Introduction of massive MIMO.
(iv) Much higher network density.
(v) The utilization of the millimeter wave spectrum.
(vi) The breakthroughs in big data and mobile cloud computing.
(vii) High-mobility device-to-device connections.
(viii) Better energy efficiency communications.
(ix) The introduction of new radio access technologies.
(x) Scalable Internet of Things techniques.
Regarding the wireless LANs (WLANs), the most relevant is the IEEE 802.11
standard family, representing the set of MAC and PHY standards implementing
WLAN computer communications in 0.9, 2.4, 3.6, 5, and 60 GHz frequency bands
[20–25]. The first wireless networking standard from this family was 802.11–1997;
however, the 802.11b was widely accepted one, which was followed by 802.11a,
802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac. Other standards in this family (such as c–f, h, j)
represent the service amendments to the existing ones that are used to extend the
scope, or eventually the amendments represent the corrections to the previous
specification. The IEEE 802.11 g PHY standard is very similar to 801.11a, except
that it is related to the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band (2.4–2.497 GHz).
To increase the aggregated data rates in IEEE 802.11n and 802.11 ac PHY
standards, the MIMO-OFDM concept, explained in Chap. 8, is used. Namely,
through MIMO concept, several independent data streams can be simultaneously
transmitted increasing the aggregate data rates. The IEEE 802.11n PHY standard is
applicable to both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, while 802.11ac to 5 GHz band only. In
IEEE 802.11n standard, the available channel bandwidths are {20 MHz, 40 MHz},
while in 802.11ac the available channel bandwidths are {20, 40, 80, 160} MHz. The
highest data rate in 802.11ac standard, for 160 MHz bandwidth, is 780 Mb/s.
The WiMAX represents one of the most popular broadband wireless access
(BWA) technologies, aiming to provide high-speed bandwidth access for wireless
MANs [22, 26–28]. The WiMAX is based on IEEE 802.16 set of standards, in
particular IEEE 802.16-2004 (fixed-WiMAX) and IEEE 802.16e-2005 (mobile-
WiMAX) standards, which provide multiple PHY and MAC options. The WiMAX
represents the last-mile wireless broadband access alternative to the cable and DSL
services, and it is a direct competitor to the LTE Advanced standard. The IEEE
802.16e-2005 provides several improvements compared to the IEEE 802.16-2004
including [26–28]:
1. Providing support for mobility by enabling the soft and hard handover between
base stations.
6 1 Introduction
2. Introducing the concept of scalable OFDM (SOFDM) by scaling the FFT to the
channel bandwidth to ensure that the carrier spacing is constant across different
channel bandwidths, ranging from 1.25 MHz through 5 MHz and 10 MHz all
way to 20 MHz, and thus improving the spectral efficiency.
3. Introducing the advanced antenna diversity schemes and hybrid automatic repeat
request (HARQ).
4. Introducing the adaptive antenna systems (AAS) and MIMO signal processing.
5. Providing the denser sub-channelization and therefore improving the indoor
penetration.
6. Introducing downlink sub-channelization, in order to trade the coverage for
capacity or vice versa.
7. Introducing the LDPC coding to improve the error-correction strength.
8. Introducing an extra QoS class for VoIP applications.
semiconductor. The bit rate of these systems was limited to <100 Mb/s due to
dispersion in multimode fibers (MMFs). Single-mode fiber (SMF) was then incor-
porated. By 1987 the second generation systems were operating at 2.5 Gb/s at
1.3 μm with repeater spacing of 50 km.
The third generation systems were based on the use of 1.55 μm sources and
detectors and dominated in the first half of 1990s. At this wavelength the attenua-
tion of fused silica fiber is minimal. The deployment of these systems was delayed
however due to the relatively large dispersion at this wavelength. Two approaches
were proposed to solve the dispersion problem. The first approach was to develop
single-mode lasers, and the second was to develop dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) at
1.55 μm. In 1990, 1.55 μm systems operating at 2.5 Gb/s were commercially
available and were capable of operating at 10 Gb/s for distances of 100 km [1, 3–
5, 11–13]. The best performance was achieved with DSFs in conjunction with
single-mode lasers. A drawback of these systems was the need for electronic
regeneration with repeaters typically spaced every 60–70 km. Coherent optical
detection methods were investigated in late 1980s and early 1990s to increase
receiver sensitivity. However, this approach was superceded by the development
of the optical amplifier.
The 3.5th generation systems are based on the use of optical amplifiers to
increase repeater spacing and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to increase
the aggregate bit rate. Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) were developed to
amplify signals without electronic regeneration during the 1980s [1, 3–5, 11–13]. In
1991 signals could be transmitted 14,300 km at 5 Gb/s without electronic regener-
ation [1, 3–5, 11–13]. The first transpacific commercial system went into operation
sending signals over 11,300 km at 5 Gb/s, and other systems are being deployed.
System capacity is increased through use of WDM. Multiple wavelengths can be
amplified with the same optical amplifier. In 1996 20 5 Gb/s signals were
transmitted over 9100 km providing a total bit rate of 100 Gb/s and a bandwidth-
length (B-L) product of 910 (Tb/s)-km. In these broadband systems, dispersion
becomes an important issue to be addressed.
In the 3.75th generation systems, the effort is primarily concerned with the fiber
dispersion problem. Optical amplifiers solve the loss problem but increase the
dispersion problem since dispersion effects accumulate over multiple amplification
stages. An ultimate solution is based on the novel concept of optical solitons [1, 31,
32]. These are pulses that preserve their shape during propagation in a loss less fiber
by counteracting the effect of dispersion through fiber nonlinearity. Experiments
using stimulated Raman scattering as the nonlinearity to compensate for both loss
and dispersion were effective in transmitting signals over 4000 km [1, 31,
32]. EDFAs were first used to amplify solitons in 1989 [1, 31, 32]. By 1994 a
demonstration of soliton transmission over 9400 km was performed at a bit rate of
70 Gb/s by multiplexing seven 10 Gb/s channels [1, 31, 32]. In parallel, dispersion
compensating fibers (DCFs) were invented to deal with chromatic dispersion, and
various dispersion maps were proposed [1, 31, 32]. The WDM channel count
increased to maximum 128, with data rates per single wavelength ranging from
2.5 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s. The operating wavelength region ranges from 1530 nm to

parameters
perform conversion from electrical to optical domain, the optical transmitters are
used, while to perform conversion in the opposite direction (optical-to-electrical
conversion), the optical receivers are used. The single-mode fiber (SMF) serves as a
foundation of an optical transmission system because the optical fiber is used as
medium to transport the optical signals from the source to destination. The optical
fibers attenuate the signal during transmission, and someone has to use optical
amplifiers, such as EDFAs, Raman amplifiers, or parametric amplifiers, to restore
the signal level. Unfortunately, the amplification process is accompanied with the
noise addition. For better exploitation of enormous bandwidth of SMF, the WDM
concept is introduced, which corresponds to the scheme with multiple optical
carriers at different wavelengths that are modulated by using independent electrical
bit streams, as shown in Fig. 1.1, and then transmitted over the same SMF. During
transmission of WDM signals, occasionally several wavelengths have to be added/
dropped, which is performed by the reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer
(ROADM), as shown in Fig. 1.1. The optical networks require the switching of
information among different fibers, which is performed by the optical cross-connect
(OXS). To combine several distinct wavelength channels into composite channel,
the wavelength multiplexers are used. On the other hand, to split the composite
WDM channel into distinct wavelength channels, the wavelength demultiplexers
are used. To impose the information signal and perform electro-optical conversion,
the optical modulators are used. The optical modulators are commonly used in
combination with semiconductor lasers.
The optical transmission systems can be classified according to different criteria.
When bit rate is used as classification criteria, the optical transmission systems can
be classified as low speed (tens of Mb/s), medium speed (hundreds Mb/s), high
speed (Gb/s), and ultra-high speed (tens of Gb/s). From application perspective
point of view, the systems can be either power budget (loss) limited or bandwidth
(transmission speed) limited. If transmission length is used for classification, we
can identify very short reach (hundreds of meters), short reach (from several
kilometers to several tens of km), long reach (hundreds of kilometers), and ultra-
long reach (thousands of kilometers) optical transmission systems.
To provide a global picture, we describe a typical optical network shown in
Fig. 1.2. We can identify three ellipses representing the core network, the edge

network, and the access network [3, 4]. The long-haul core network interconnects
big cities, major communications hubs, and even different continents by means of
submarine transmission systems. The core networks are often called the wide area
networks (WANs) or interchange carrier networks. The edge optical networks are
deployed within smaller geographical areas and are commonly recognized as
metropolitan area networks (MANs) or local exchange carrier networks. The access
networks represent peripheral part of optical network and provide the last-mile
access or the bandwidth distribution to the individual end users.
The ultimate goal of an optical signal transmission system is usually defined as
achieving desired bit error rate (BER) performance between two end users or
between two intermediate nodes in network reliably and at affordable cost. In
order to achieve so, an optical transmission system needs to be properly designed,
which includes the management of key optical communication systems engineering
parameters. These parameters can be related to power, time, and wavelength or be
interrelated. The parameters related only to power are power level, fiber loss,
insertion loss, and extinction ratio (the ratio of powers corresponding to bit “1”
and bit “0”). The parameters related only to time are jitter, first-order PMD, and
bit/data rate. The parameters related to wavelength include optical bandwidth and
wavelength stability. The parameters, signal impairments, and additive/multiplica-
tive noise sources related to both power and wavelength are optical amplifier gain,
optical noise (such as amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise), different
crosstalk effects, four-wave mixing (FWM), and stimulated Raman scattering
(SRS). The parameters related to time and wavelength are laser chirp, second-
order PMD, and chromatic dispersion. The parameters related to power and time are
BER, modulation format, polarization-dependent loss (PDL), and quantum noise.
Finally, the channel impairments related to time, power, and wavelength simulta-
neously are self-phase modulation (SPM), cross-phase modulation (CPM), and
1.2 Optical Communication Systems and Networks Fundamentals 11
stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Any detection scenario must include elec-
tronic noise, such as thermal noise, which is associated with receiver design. These
different parameters, noise sources, and channel impairments are subject of inves-
tigation in Chap. 2.
Different high-speed optical transmission enabling technologies can be related
to the usage of novel/better devices, such as Raman and parametric amplifiers, PMD
and chromatic dispersion compensators, and modulators, or be related to the novel
methods, such as advanced modulation formats (various multilevel modulation
schemes with both direct and coherent optical detections and OFDM), forward
error correction (FEC), coded modulation, constrained (modulation/line) coding,
advanced detection schemes including maximum likelihood sequence detection/
estimation (MLSD/E) and maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detection
(BCJR algorithm-based equalizers), and various multiplexing schemes including
polarization multiplexing, optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM), subcarrier
multiplexing (SCM), code-division multiplexing (CDM), OFDM, and spatial-
division multiplexing. These various enabling technologies will be described in
incoming chapters of the book.
An important concept to be introduced here is related to the so-called lightwave
path, which can be defined as the trace that optical signal passes between the source
and destination without experiencing any opto-electrical-opto (O-E-O) conversion
[3, 4]. Generally speaking, the lightwave paths may differ in lengths and in the
information capacity that is carried along and can traverse though different portions
of an optical network. The lightwave path can be considered as bandwidth wrapper
for lower-speed transmission channels, which form virtual circuit services
[3, 4]. The time-division multiplexing (TDM) technique is applied to aggregate
the bandwidth of virtual circuits before it is wrapped in the lightwave path. TDM of
virtual circuits can be either fixed (each circuit receives a guaranteed amount of the
bandwidth – a bandwidth pipe) or statistical (in packet switching, the data content is
divided into data packets, which can be handled independently). The fixed
multiplexing of virtual circuits is defined by SONET/SDH standards. Bit rates of
different bandwidth channels, for both synchronous and asynchronous transmis-
sion, are given in Table 1.1 based on [3, 4] (and references therein).
Optical fiber is the key ingredient of an optical transmission system because it
has much wider available bandwidth, lower signal attenuation, and smaller signal
distortions compared to any other wired or free-space physical media. The total
bandwidth is approximately 400 nm, or around 50 THz, when related to the
wavelength region with fiber attenuation being bellow 0.5 dB/km. The usable
optical bandwidth is commonly split into several wavelength bands, as summarized
in Table 1.2 based on refs [3, 4] and [13]. The bands around the minimum
attenuation point, usually referred to as C and L bands, are the most suitable for
high channel count DWDM transmission. The wavelength region around 1300 nm
is less favorable for optical signal transmission because signal attenuation is higher
than attenuation in S, C, and L bands. On the other hand, it is quite suitable for
CATV signals, and the course-WDM (CWDM) technique is usually employed in
this region.
