Practical hardware realizable frame discrimination algorithms for deep fading channels in optical communications

摘要

Frame discrimination algorithms are discussed that address the problem of differentiating user frames transmitted asynchronously through optical fading channels. In communications systems where multiple users transmit asynchronously, fading channels can render the received frames unidentifiable at the receiver so that intended user destinations for the frames are then unknown. Algorithms that are readily hardware-realizable are discussed that discriminate user frames so that the frames can be properly delivered at the receiver to intended recipients.
