Underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) is a good candidate for high-speed underwater wireless communication. In this work, we compare the performance of several modulation techniques for a UOWC system consisting of a light-emitting diode (LED) with an operating wavelength of 405 nm and a Si avalanche photodiode (APD). In this work, we consider six modulation schemes: 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), 8-QAM, quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), binary phase shift keying (BPSK), on-off keying (OOK), and 4-pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). We also consider the cases of pure water and seawater for the working conditions. Our results show that 4-QAM and 8-QAM perform the best, in terms of communication distance and transmission power efficiency, for all water types considered.

FBMC/OQAM(Filterbank multicarrier on offset-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) system is a multicarrier modulation which is not need to use cyclic prefix(CP). The CP of OFDM/QAM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing on Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) system decreases data transmission rate. However, SER(symbol error rate) performance of FBMC/OQAM system is worse than OFDM/QAM system with frequency 1-tap equalization scheme in the frequency selective channel. In this paper, an iterative channel estimation and equalization scheme is performed in a frequency oversampling domain about each sub-channel of FBMC/OQAM system and SER performance using computer simulation is shown. Using the proposed scheme, the SER performance approaches to that of OFDM/QAM system in a frequency selective channel.

In this paper, we propose new modulation schemes using the conventional CACB (Constant Amplitude Coded Multicode Biorthogonal) modulation with constant amplitude property. Also the proposed modulation schemes supports high transmission data rate by increasing the spectral efficiency, In order to obtain the high spectral efficiency, the $Q^2$AM (Quadrature-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and CA-$Q^2$AM (Constant Amplitude-$Q^2$AM) are used. We explain the simplest combining modulation scheme of CACB and $Q^2$AM (i.e., CACB-$Q^2$AM). However, this modulation scheme cannot support the constant amplitude property. Hence the first CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM (or CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM I) modulation scheme is proposed for the constant amplitude property. In the modulation scheme, the redundant constant amplitude encoding (spectral efficiency decrease) is required. Therefore, the second CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM (or CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM II) modulation scheme is proposed retaining the constant amplitude and the spectral efficiency. Computer simulations show that the proposed CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM II is the efficient modulation scheme.

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is widely used in contemporary wired and wireless communications systems. In this paper, I propose a generalized triangular quadrature amplitude modulation (gTQAM) that includes the square quadrature amplitude modulation (SQAM), TQAM, and ${\Theta}$-QAM as special cases. Therefore, the proposed gTQAM forming a lattice of arbitrary triangles provides a versatile structure in signal constellations compared to other QAM schemes. For M-ary gTQAM, I derive an exact closed-form expression for the bit error rate (BER), and present the optimal signal constellations for given SNR values from the derived BER expression. Finally, I validate the derived BER results through computer simulations.

In an optical interferometer that uses sinusoidal modulation and quadrature detection, the amplitude and offset of the interference signal vary with time, even without considering system noise. As a result, the circular Lissajous figure becomes elliptical, with wide lines. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for compensating quadrature detection error, based on digital signal processing to deal with scaling and fitting. In scaling, fluctuations in the amplitudes of in-phase and quadrature signals are compensated, and the scaled signals are fitted to a Lissajous unit circle. To do so, we scale the average fluctuation, remove the offset, and fit the ellipse to a unit circle. Our measurements of a target moving with uniform velocity show that we reduce quadrature detection error from 5 to 2 nanometers.

In this paper, we analysis to consider the performance of PSPM (Phase Shift Pulse-position Modulation), the one of the low power communication technique, in near-field underwater sound channel by sea trial. PSPM is a QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modulation combined with PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) for low power communication in WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network). It is known that the bandwidth efficiency of PSPM is lower than conventional PSK but the power efficiency increases. In this paper, we will analyze the BER performance of PSPM using data acquired from the sea trials. The BER of QPSK was $6.04{\times}10^{-2}$, PSPM was $3.5{\times}10^{-1}$. Also, PSNR of QPSK was 9.37 dB and in case of PSPM was 9.11 dB.

In this paper, we have studied the FM-extended broadcasting which makes the enhancement of stereo signal-to-noise ration by utilizing the compression technique and quadrature moduation method of standard subcarrier signal in transmitter station, and corresponding demodulation method and expansion technique in receiver system. The proposed system is completely compatible with the conventional FM stereo system. We have confirmed the validity of the proposed method by implementation of transmitter/receiver system including quadrature modulation/demodulation and companding system.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive trellis-coded Multiple Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(ATCMQAM) applying MQAM as the modulation scheme in the conventional ATCMPSK (Adaptive trellis-Coded Multiple Phase Shift Keying) for slowly varying Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed system adaptively controls the coding rate combined with modulation level of pragmatic approach to trellis-coded modulation according to the instantaneous fading channel conditions, and employs MQAM as modulation scheme.Results by computer simulation show that the proposed adaptive model using MQAM can realize higher quality transmission with the improvement more than 0.5 ~ 1bit in average bit rate. And there is a coding gain of 2-5dB, depending on the high SNR value, compared with the conventional adaptive model employing MPSK.

In this paper, we propose a priority-based unequal error protection scheme of data partitioned H.264/AVC video with hierarchical quadrature amplitude modulation. In order to map data with higher priority onto the most significant bits of QAM constellation points, a priority sorting method categorizes different data partitions according to the unequal importance factor of encoded video data in one group of pictures by evaluated the average distortion. Then we propose a hierarchical quadrature amplitude modulation arrangement with adaptive constellation distances, which takes into account the unequal importance of encoded video data and the channel status. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the received video quality by about 2 dB in PSNR comparing with the state-of-the-art unequal error protection scheme, and outperforms EEP scheme by up to 5 dB when the average channel SNR is low.

TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation) has soft decision scheme so that BM(Branch Metric) calculates the ED(Euclidean Distance) between the received signal and each code words in signal space. For computing the ED, square and square root computations increase the hardware complexity. Some simplified method is known for convolutional codes with QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), PSK(Phase Shift Keying) modulation. But it is not acceptable for QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)-TCM scheme. In this paper, we suggest that two modified BM computation methods, which is applicable for QAM-TCM. By comparative study, we also assessed two proposed method in the case of hardware complexity and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance.
