Abstract:
A transmitter (102,200) maps an N-bit sequence to a point selected from a four-dimensional (4D) constellation consisting of 2N points which form a subset of a Cartesian product of first and second two-dimensional (2D) constellations, the first constellation consisting of M1 points divided into first, second, and third points, and the second constellation consisting of M2 points divided into fourth, fifth, and sixth points, wherein M1, M2 ≥ 5, and wherein log2(M1×M2) > N. The subset includes any 4D point that is generated by combining any one of the M1 points and any one of the fourth points; includes any 4D point that is generated by combining any one of the first points and any one of M2 points; and excludes any 4D point that is generated by combining any third point and any sixth point. An optical signal (204) representing the selected point is transmitted to a receiver (104,300).

A polarization modulation method of photonic pulses, in particular for generating quantum cryptographic keys, ensures an optimum stability of the outgoing polarization states, and comprises the steps of: generating a plurality of photonic pulseswith an unspecified polarization state obtained by the overlapping of both the horizontal and vertical polarization modes thereof, and routing them in a first polarization-maintaining fiber; splittingsaid horizontal and vertical polarization modes and routing them in respective terminals of a second polarization-maintaining fiber forming a ring, whereby they travel such ring clockwise and counter-clockwise respectively, or vice versa; inducing a respective phase modulation (øe,øl) of both said polarization modes, in one point of said ring which is spaced from said terminals by optical paths having different length along said ring, thereby a polarization-maintaining fiber delay line is determined; and recombining said polarization modes in one single photonic pulse beam, and routing the resulting beam through said first polarization-maintaining fiber, by obtaining, at the output thereof, a polarization state of the pulses depending upon the difference between said phase modulations (øe,øl).

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. More particularly, aspects of the present disclosure provide multiplexing schemes which may be suited for the single carrier waveform. For example, some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit multiplexing of multiple, different data streams without destroying the single-carrier properties of the waveform. Additionally, or alternatively, some techniques and apparatuses described herein may provide unequal error protection, unequal bandwidth allocation, and/or the like as part of the multiplexing schemes. Examples of multiplexing schemes described herein include in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) multiplexing, superposition quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) based at least in part on layered bit mapping, polarization division multiplexing of QAM with superposition coding, and frequency division multiplexing using UE-specific beams.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for optically transmitting data via optical waveguides during which the electric signal (Sel) or optical information signal (Sopt) to be transmitted is split into a plurality of partial signals (Sel1 to Seln) each having a lower bandwidth. In addition, each partial signal (Sel1 to Seln) is converted into an optical partial signal (Sopt1 to Soptn) each having different medium wave lengths ( lambda 1 to lambda n) or having an optical carrier frequency and/or having a different orthogonal polarization. Optical partial signals (Sopt1 to Soptn) are transmitted on an optical waveguide which forms the transmission path (7). The optical partial signals (Sopt1 to Soptn) are each separately detected again at the end of the transmission path (7) and are composed into the information signal (Sel) to be transmitted. The invention also relates to a transmitting unit, a receiving unit, and to a complete system for carrying out the inventive method.
