Over the last few years, there has been an exponential increase in the amount of communication network traffic, where the data center (DC) is a major building block of this network. However current DCs face various problems in the light of current demands, such as high power consumption, low scalability and low flexibility. It is necessary to build a new high speed data center which could support this exponential growth. One of the technologies that could scale up the performance of the data center is free space optical (FSO) communication. FSO communication could provide an adaptive, flexible and dynamic network that could meet the performance requirements of future DCs. However, no one has characterized the optical communication channel in DC. In DC there is an HVAC system that causes non-homogeneous changes in temperature and air velocity that can affect the performance of the optical signal. In this work, we demonstrate that by using deep learning algorithms for channel estimation and signal detection, without knowledge of the channel model, we can improve the signal detection and increase the performance of the optical communication in DC environment.
In recent years, an increasing number of data center networks (DCNs) have been built to provide various cloud applications. Major challenges in the design of next generation DC networks include reduction of the energy consumption, high flexibility and scalability, high data rates, minimum latency and high cyber security. Use of optical wireless communication (OWC) to augment the DC network could help to confront some of these challenges. In this paper we present an OWC multi channels communication method that could lead to significant energy reduction of the communication equipment. The method is to convert a high speed serial data stream to many slower and parallel streams and vies versa at the receiver. We implement this concept of multi channels using optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-OFDM) method. In our scheme, we use asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM). Our results show that the realization of multi channels OFDM (ACO-OFDM) methods reduces the total energy consumption exponentially, as the number of channels transmitted through them rises.
