Abstract

An optimized scheme of pulse symmetrical position-orthogonal space-time block codes (PSP-OSTBC) is proposed and applied with m-pulse positions modulation (m-PPM) without the use of a complex decoding algorithm in an optical multi-input multi-output (MIMO) ultraviolet (UV) communication system. The proposed scheme breaks through the limitation of the traditional Alamouti code and is suitable for high-order m-PPM in a UV scattering channel, verified by both simulation experiments and field tests with specific parameters. The performances of $1\times 1$, $2\times 1$, and $2\times 2$ PSP-OSTBC systems with 4-PPM are compared experimentally as the optimal tradeoff between modification and coding in practical application. Meanwhile, the feasibility of the proposed scheme for 8-PPM is examined by a simulation experiment as well. The results suggest that the proposed scheme makes the system insensitive to the influence of path loss with a larger channel capacity, and a higher diversity gain and coding gain with a simple decoding algorithm will be achieved by employing the orthogonality of m-PPM in an optical-MIMO-based ultraviolet scattering channel.
