Gaussian-based optical networks-on-chip: Performance analysis and optimization
Publication date: Available online 10 February 2020Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Tingting Song, Yiyuan Xie, Yichen Ye, Yingxue Du, Bocheng Liu, Yong LiuAbstractCompared with optical networks-on-chip (ONoCs) based on traditional topology such as mesh, torus, and fat-tree, Gaussian-based ONoCs have significant topological advantages in the network diameter and average jump distance. However, the intrinsic loss and crosstalk noise, which are inevitably inherent elements in basic optical devices, can lead to severe degradation of network performance and even restrict the normal communication of ONoCs. Therefore...

Intelligent reflecting surface enhanced indoor terahertz communication systems
Publication date: Available online 5 February 2020Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Xinying Ma, Zhi Chen, Wenjie Chen, Yaojia Chi, Zhuoxun Li, Chong Han, Qiye WenAbstractTerahertz (THz) band has been envisioned as a promising enabler that achieves high-speed information transmission and provides adequate spectrum resources for future sixth generation (6G) wireless systems. However, due to the extremely high frequency and the strong directionality of THz waves, the wireless communication links in such a frequency range (from 0.1 THz to 10 THz) suffer from serious path loss, multi-path fading, communication inter...

On the performance of THz wireless LOS links through random turbulence channels
Publication date: Available online 28 January 2020Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Mehdi Taherkhani, Zahra Ghattan Kashani, Ramazan Ali SadeghzadehAbstractIn this paper, a general channel model for THz wireless line-of-sight links is developed and investigated. The propagation of THz waves is divided into two main scenarios, namely deterministic and random conditions. On the one hand, the molecular absorption due to water vapor and oxygen is considered as the deterministic effect on the wave propagation. On the other hand, the atmospheric turbulence conditions as well as pointing errors between THz transmitter...

Hamming–Luby rateless codes for molecular erasure channels
Publication date: February 2020Source: Nano Communication Networks, Volume 23Author(s): Zhuangkun Wei, Bin Li, Wenxiu Hu, Weisi Guo, Chenglin ZhaoAbstractNano-scale molecular communications encode digital information into discrete macro-molecules. In many nano-scale systems, due to limited molecular energy, each information symbol is encoded into a small number of molecules. As such, information may be lost in the process of diffusion–advection propagation through complex topologies and membranes. Existing Hamming-distance codes for additive counting noise are not well suited to combat the aforementioned erasure errors. ...

Cellular automata-based byte error correction in QCA
We present an encoder and a decoder that are able to correct single byte errors. Moreover, we also design other building blocks such as: pulse generator, syndrome calculator, position locator, word inverter, and error corrector circuits. We also include an application example, demonstrating how to use and connect the encoder and decoder in QCA communication systems. We validate the design by means of simulations in QCADesigner. Our results show the correct behavior of the circuit, being able to detect and correct a byte error. We also present the cost function and energy dissipation analysis of the system. The proposed cir...

Serial concatenated convolutional code encoder in quantum-dot cellular automata
Publication date: Available online 19 October 2019Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Yongqiang Zhang, Guangjun Xie, Jie HanAbstractQuantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are a prospective nanotechnology with striking performance for complementing complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based integrated circuit technique. For applications in communications, serial concatenated convolutional codes (SCCCs) have been investigated due to their negligible error floor for deep space communication. Using a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches, we design and implement an SCCC encoder in QCA technology. In...

Statistical characterization and analysis of low-THz communication channel for 5G Internet of Things
Publication date: Available online 27 August 2019Source: Nano Communication NetworksAuthor(s): Nabil Khalid, Naveed A. Abbasi, Ozgur B. AkanAbstractThis paper presents measurements and statistical characterization to compare three potential bands of the low-THz channel, namely, the 300 to 319 GHz, 340 to 359 GHz and 380 to 399 GHz bands. From the large set of measurements performed in line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS (NLoS) environments, parameters for path loss model with shadowing are evaluated. Our results show that the path loss exponents for the band around 310 GHz, 350 GHz, and 390 GHz is 2.07, 1.90 and 1.96, re...
