| dc.description.abstract | High-speed visible light communications (VLC) has been identified at an essential part of communication technology for 5G network. VLC offers the unique advantages of unregulated and secure channels, free of EM interference. Compared with the LED-based VLC transmitter, laser-based photonic systems are promising for compact, droop-free, and high-speed white lighting and VLC applications, ideal for ultra-fast 5G network and beyond. Besides the potential for achieving high data rate free-space communication links, i.e. the Li-Fi network, laser-based VLC technology can also enable underwater wireless optical communications (UWOC) for many important applications. In this paper, the recent research progress and highlights in the fields of laser-based VLC and UWOC have been reviewed with a focused discussion on the performance of various light sources, including the modulation characteristics of GaNbased edge emitting laser diodes (EELDs), superluminescent diodes (SLDs) and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Apart from the utilization of discrete components for building transceiver in VLC systems, the development of III-nitride laser-based photonic integration has been featured. Such on-chip integration offers many advantages, including having a small-footprint, high-speed, and low power consumption. Finally, we discuss the considerations of wavelength selection for various VLC and UWOC applications. Comparison of infrared (IR) and visible lasers for channels with high turbulence and the study of ultraviolet (UV) and visible lasers for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communications are presented. | |

Communication Through Breath Using Molecular Communication Modeling in Indoor Environments(2019-11) [Thesis]
Advisor: Alouini, Mohamed-Slim
Committee members: Alouini, Mohamed-Slim; Al-Naffouri, Tareq Y.; Amin, Osama; Dahrouj, HayssamThe concept of communication via breath is introduced under the molecular com munication system, where data can be exchanged through inhalation and exhalation. Those data are carried by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or pathogens and transferred through an aerosol channel. In this thesis, we propose a molecular com munication model for an instantaneous source in a bounded indoor environment. The walls of this environment could be reflectors and/or absorbers by adjusting the value of deposition velocity. We assume a puff source in a given location and study the per formance of a point source since it is the basic element that can be used to derive the concentration of breath, cough, and sneezing, where the concentration of continuous source can be found by integrating a point source over space and time domains. Also, we show some numerical results to visualize the performance of these mathematical models and evaluate them. As a case study, we consider a real-life scenario of detecting a virus from an exhaled breath of a person standing in an indoor bounded room with reflective and absorptive walls. We derive the spatial-temporal concentration of an exhaled virus at the molecules source and the receiver in the room. Finally, we study the probability of misdetection using a suitable bio-sensor. -

Interfacing of Molecular Communication System with Various Communication Systems over Internet of Every Nano Things(IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023-05-04) [Article]The communication system for health-monitoring applications is a substantial research area considering its practical limitations. One of the potential suggested technologies is internet-of-every-nano-thing (IoENT). Through this work, we demonstrate the different aspects of interfacing of molecular communication (MC) with other nano-communication systems such as human body communication (HBC), acoustic communication (AC), and tera-Hertz (Thz) communication systems for IoENT. Moreover, we also emphasized eclectic possibilities and various issues related to the applications of IoENT. First, we explored each of the nano-communication systems in detail by showing their mathematical frameworks. Subsequently, we are also concerned about different ways to interface MC with other nano-communication systems, one-by-one. In the end, we also discuss various likely challenges and possible future directions, e.g., availability of devices, mobility of devices and synchronization, etc in the context of interfacing of diverse technologies.
