Multidimensional QPSK symbol modulation scheme based on random sequence extraction for D-band photonics-aided wireless communication.

Abstract

We propose a multidimensional (MD) quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) symbol modulation and demodulation scheme based on random sequence extraction, which overcomes the limitations of traditional QPSK signals in performing probabilistic shaping. Unlike probabilistic shaping (PS) and geometric shaping (GS), our approach does not require modifications to the existing digital signal processing (DSP) architecture; it only necessitates the addition of sequence modulation and demodulation modules. Additionally, the source entropy (SE) can be flexibly adjusted. An experimental verification was conducted in a 50 m, 150 GHz photonics-aided wireless communication system. The results show that, under the same net data rate, the random sequence extraction QPSK scheme can achieve a maximum optical power gain of 0.7 dB. These findings indicate that the random sequence extraction QPSK (SE-QPSK) scheme can effectively enhance system performance, providing a promising outlook for future wireless communication.
