Abstract

Millimeter wave communications based on photonic technologies have gained increased attention to provide optic fiber-like capacity in wireless environments. However, the new hybrid fiber-wireless channel represents new challenges in terms of signal transmission performance analysis. Traditionally, such systems use diversity schemes in combination with digital signal processing techniques to overcome effects such as fading and inter-symbol interference (ISI). Wavelet Channel Coding (WCC) has emerged as a technique to minimize the fading effects of wireless channels, which is a mayor challenge in systems operating in the millimeter wave regime. This work takes the WCC one step beyond by performance evaluation in terms of bit error probability, over time-varying, frequency-selective multipath Rayleigh fading channels. The adopted propagation model follows the COST207 norm, the main international standard reference for GSM, UMTS, and EDGE applications. The results show how WCC can be efficient against ISI. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time WCC is considered on Radio-over-Fiber transmissions at mm-wave range.
