Transmission device, reception device, and communication method
A transmission device includes: a modulator that selects an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode among N (N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) OAM propagation modes in accordance with a value of bit data to be transmitted; and a transmitter that transmits a signal of the OAM propagation mode selected by the modulator.
1. A transmission device comprising:
a modulator that selects an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode among N OAM propagation modes in accordance with a value of bit data to be transmitted, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2; and
a transmitter that transmits a signal of the OAM propagation mode selected by the modulator,
wherein the modulator selects K OAM propagation modes based on a table in which the value of the bit data is associated with any of K of the N OAM propagation modes, K being an integer equal to or greater than 1 and being smaller than N, and
wherein the transmitter transmits signals of the K OAM propagation modes.
2. A reception device comprising:
a receiver that receives a signal of an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode selected among N OAM propagation modes, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2; and
a demodulator that outputs a value of bit data in accordance with the OAM propagation mode of the received signal,
wherein the demodulator outputs the value of bit data based on a table in which the value of the bit data is associated with any of K of the N OAM propagation modes, K being an integer equal to or greater than 1 and being smaller than N, and
wherein the receiver receives signals of the K OAM propagation modes.
3. A transmission device comprising:
a modulator that selects an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode based on a pattern which indicates a selection order in which each of N OAM propagation modes is sequentially selected K times, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2, K being an integer equal to or greater than 1; and
a transmitter that transmits a signal of the OAM propagation mode in accordance with an order selected by the modulator at one symbol interval which includes K mode intervals.
4. The transmission device of claim 3 ,
wherein the transmitter transmits, using the OAM propagation mode in accordance with the order selected by the modulator, each of K signals, which are acquired by dividing a data signal corresponding to one symbol into K, at one symbol interval.
5. The transmission device of claim 3 ,
wherein the transmitter transmits a dummy signal using an OAM propagation mode which is not selected by the modulator.
6. A reception device comprising:
a receiver that receives a signal of an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode corresponding to K mode intervals, K being an integer equal to or greater than 1; and
a demodulator that demodulates a symbol from the received signal based on a pattern which indicates a selection order in which at least one of N OAM propagation modes is sequentially selected K times, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2.
7. A communication method comprising:
selecting an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode among N OAM propagation modes in accordance with a value of bit data to be transmitted, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2;
transmitting a signal of the selected OAM propagation mode;
receiving the signal of the selected OAM propagation mode among N OAM propagation modes; and
outputting the value of the bit data in accordance with the OAM propagation mode of the received signal,
wherein the selecting includes selecting K OAM propagation modes based on a table in which the value of the bit data is associated with any of K of the N OAM propagation modes, K being an integer equal to or greater than 1 and being smaller than N, and
wherein the transmitting includes transmitting signals of the K OAM propagation modes.
8. A communication method comprising:
selecting an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) propagation mode based on a pattern which indicates a selection order in which each of N OAM propagation modes is sequentially selected K times, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2, K being an integer equal to or greater than 1;
transmitting a signal of the OAM propagation mode in accordance with an order selected at one symbol interval which includes K mode intervals;
receiving the signal of the OAM propagation mode corresponding to K mode intervals; and
demodulating a symbol from the received signal based on the pattern.
