In this paper, we propose an adaptive beam that adapts its divergence angle according to the receiver aperture diameter and the communication distance to improve the received power and ease the alignment between the communicating optical transceivers in a free-space optical communications (FSOC) system for high-speed trains (HSTs). We compare the received power, signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, and the maximum communication distance of the proposed adaptive beam with a beam that uses a fixed divergence angle of 1 mrad. The proposed adaptive beam yields a higher received power with an increase of 33 dB in average over the fixed-divergence beam under varying visibility conditions and distance. Moreover, the proposed adaptive divergence angle extends the communication distance of a FSOC system for HSTs to about three times under different visibility conditions as compared to a fixed divergence beam. We also propose a new ground transceiver placement that places the ground transceivers of a FSOC system for HSTs on gantries placed above the train passage instead of placing them next to track. The proposed transceiver placement provides a received-power increase of 3.8 dB in average over the conventional placement of ground-station transceivers next to the track.

Free-space communication links are severely affected by atmospheric turbulence, which causes degradation in the transmitted signal. One of the most common solutions to overcome this is to exploit diversity. In this approach, information is sent in parallel using two or more transmitters that are spatially separated, with each beam therefore experiencing different atmospheric turbulence, lowering the probability of a receive error. In this work we propose and experimentally demonstrate a generalization of diversity based on spatial modes of light, which we have termed $textit{modal diversity}$. We remove the need for a physical separation of the transmitters by exploiting the fact that spatial modes of light experience different perturbations, even when travelling along the same path. For this proof-of-principle we selected modes from the Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian basis sets and demonstrate an improvement in Bit Error Rate by up to 54%. We outline that modal diversity enables physically compact and longer distance free space optical links without increasing the total transmit power.
This paper reports the demonstration of high-speed PAM-4 transmission using a 1.5-{mu}m single-mode vertical cavity surface emitting laser (SM-VCSEL) over multicore fiber with 7 cores over different distances. We have successfully generated up to 70 Gbaud 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) signals with a VCSEL in optical back-to-back, and transmitted 50 Gbaud PAM-4 signals over both 1-km dispersion-uncompensated and 10-km dispersion-compensated in each core, enabling a total data throughput of 700 Gbps over the 7-core fiber. Moreover, 56 Gbaud PAM-4 over 1-km has also been shown, whereby unfortunately not all cores provide the required 3.8 $times$ 10 $^{-3}$ bit error rate (BER) for the 7% overhead-hard decision forward error correction (7% OH HDFEC). The limited bandwidth of the VCSEL and the adverse chromatic dispersion of the fiber are suppressed with pre-equalization based on accurate end-to-end channel characterizations. With a digital post-equalization, BER performance below the 7% OH-HDFEC limit is achieved over all cores. The demonstrated results show a great potential to realize high-capacity and compact short-reach optical interconnects for data centers.
Millimetre wave (mmWave) beam tracking is a challenging task because tracking algorithms are required to provide consistent high accuracy with low probability of loss of track and minimal overhead. To meet these requirements, we propose in this paper a new analog beam tracking framework namely Adaptive Tracking with Stochastic Control (ATSC). Under this framework, beam direction updates are made using a novel mechanism based on measurements taken from only two beam directions perturbed from the current data beam. To achieve high tracking accuracy and reliability, we provide a systematic approach to jointly optimise the algorithm parameters. The complete framework includes a method for adapting the tracking rate together with a criterion for realignment (perceived loss of track). ATSC adapts the amount of tracking overhead that matches well to the mobility level, without incurring frequent loss of track, as verified by an extensive set of experiments under both representative statistical channel models as well as realistic urban scenarios simulated by ray-tracing software. In particular, numerical results show that ATSC can track dominant channel directions with high accuracy for vehicles moving at 72 km/hour in complicated urban scenarios, with an overhead of less than 1%.
With the development of wireless communication, higher requirements arise for train-ground wireless communications in high-speed railway (HSR) scenarios. The millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency band with rich spectrum resources can provide users in HSR scenarios with high performance broadband multimedia services, while the full-duplex (FD) technology has become mature. In this paper, we study train-ground communication system performance in HSR scenarios with mobile relays (MRs) mounted on rooftop of train and operating in the FD mode. We formulate a nonlinear programming problem to maximize network capacity by allocation of spectrum resources. Then, we develop a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm based on the Lagrange function to solve the bandwidth allocation optimization problem for track-side base station (BS) and MRs in this mm-wave train-ground communication system. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SQP algorithm can effectively achieve high network capacity for trainground communication in HSR scenarios while being robust to the residual self-interference (SI).
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is one of the most promising technologies for 5G-Adv and 6G. It has the characteristics of low cost, low complexity, and easy deployment, which provides a new opportunity to develop intelligent high-speed railway communications. The typical applications of RIS-assisted smart high-speed railway communications are introduced in detail, including suppressing the Doppler shift effect, solving frequent handoff problems, overcoming high penetration loss problems, and supporting high-precision train positioning. The key technologies of RIS-assisted smart high-speed railway communications are discussed in-depth, including channel measurement and modeling, channel estimation and feedback, beamforming, network architecture, and network deployment. It is believed that the combination of the new intelligent high-speed railway infrastructure and the new electromagnetic infrastructure built by RIS will bring broad industrial prospects to the intelligent high-speed railway in the future.
