Hybrid network

[FAYIQA NAQSHBANDI]

Hi Everyone..
I plan to design an integrated optical wireless network…I have already designed the optical part using optiwave tool optisystem… Now i wish to know that which software would you people suggest for designing the wireless part so that integration with the optisystem design is easy and compatible… Any suggestions please ..?
Thanks and Regards

Hello fayiqa,
Are you talking about fiber-wireless systems. It seems more or less like that only. If so then you can design your system in Optisystem as well and i guess no need to design wireless part in any other software. I am posting few links where the topic fiber-wireless has been discussed. I hope you find it useful.

Fiber wireless system

RoF wireless communication

HI AABID..
THanks for replying..Yeah you can think of it being a fiber wireless system….the ist link you provided is very helpful to some extent…i must see the example which is there there in the OptiSystem 14 samples in the “Microwave or RF optical system folder”…i hope it will help…thanks anyways for ur help..
Thanks & regards

Hello Fayiqa,
You are welcome. The links provided indeed can be helpful and i hope you can get some idea regarding setting up these fiber – wireless systems. As far as i know it may be possible in optisystem only to design the overall architecture but still check for the osd files as provided in those links and in the sample folders. May be they could help.

yeah sure…i think these examples will definitely help to some extent..
thanks & regards

Hi Fayiqa Naqshbandi

As far as components that are already present in the optisystem as suggested by Aabid are concerned i believe u should try to limit ur design in optisystem only as its quite cumbersome to interface other softwares. But if in ur case u require those components in the design that are not present in optisystem then there certainly are some options of external software in optisystem like matlab, simulink, scilab etc. But from all these i would suggest u to call a simulink model in which u can design the wireless part or thinking of the other way around u can even call ur optical part of the project in simulink as well. Depending on the requirements of ur design u can choose any of the options. Hope it helps.

HELLO BURHAN NUM..
Thank you so much for relying and sharing some important points… Actually i was looking for the examples which have used the wireless part but i couldn’t find any..Now i think i have to use any other tool to implement it and then interface that with optisystem..as mentioned by you Matlab and simulink can help because the integration of both is easy with optisystem..anyways thanks again..

Thanks & regards

Hi Fayiqa Naqshbandi

Yeah i also believe simulink might help and ofcourse matlab is the ultimate answer to all possible components that are not present. But out of all external softwares i think simulink would be beat as it has all the components to design ur wireless part of the network. Hope it helps.

HELLO BURHAN…
Thank you for the suggestion.. i will definitely take a note of it and see if i could implement it in simulink…
Thanks and regards

Hi Fayiqa Naqshbandi,

Infact i also agree with Burhan that out of all external softwares, simulink should be the more preferable one as it has all the components to design the wireless part of the network….Hope it helps… Also thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions..

Hello FAYIQA NAQSHBANDI,
for transmitting data wirelessly you need to convert the signal the optical signal from optical to electrical domain. once the data is in electrical domain (decoding the data into bit stream or original message form will increase system complexity) so you just assume some wireless fading channel (Such as AWGN, rayleigh, rician etc.) and then transmit the data wirelessly and demodulate and decode at the wireless receiver. this way you can decrease the system complexity.
moreover you can directy extract the data also in the wired portion but in this case again you need to do modulation of the info streams i.e. modulator then channel and demodulator that is the receiver all you have to do for the wireless portion and for this better to use MATLAB, because you find some sample codes of online that you may tae as reference. Thanking you.

Hi Hi Fayiqa Naqshbandi ma’m,
there are many software for designing wireless networks and are compatible and easily accessed in combination with optisystem software as well.
We also design wireless system in optisystem software as Aabid sir said previously,
I addition to this we could wireless network part in NS2, NS3, Matlab , iBwave design, ProSoft Wireless Designer and many more.
The suitability and compatibility depends uopn the application and type of design we are having.

HELLO RANJEET..
Thanks for replying.. I have already taken note of that and i hope i will be able to implement it.. The tools you have mentioned like NS2, NS3 are open source tools and are not compatible with Optisystem so i may have to use software which can be easily integrated with optisystem…Anyways thanks for your kind suggestions..

Thanks & regards

Hi All

Ranjeet as rightly put forth by fayqa naqshbandi these are open source tools. And since she has already designed the optical part in optisystem so all she needs is to design the wireless part in such a tool so that it can be in some or the other way with her optical part of the project in optisystem. thus she has only limited choices and among those according to me simulink or matlab would be a favourable option.

you can design your system in Optisystem as well and i guess no need to design wireless part in any other software. I am posting few links where the topic fiber-wireless has been discussed.

Hi MHD,

You have not posted any links… Please post the links so that we can have a look…

Hi sahil singh,

for finding the respective topics yo are looking for you can directly search from this forum home beside recent discussion “search for topics”. because the same topic is discussed in the forum many times. Thanking you.
