Develop a Web site accessible by visually impaired users and comply with the law
At a large public university, I recently assisted a project team in testing a Web-based application we made available to several hundred thousand alumni. Application usability was a key success criterion for the project. Recognizing that numerous alumni might be blind, color blind, or have some other visual impairment, we...

Analysis of Frequency Offsets and Phase Noise Effects on an OFDM 802.11 G Transceiver
Since WLAN OFDM Transceiver on both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b is the most usable technique to achieve a high performance communication, it can, by means of some modifications evaluate an IEEE 802.11g Transceiver behavior against some link impairments as frequency offset, Inter-carrier interference, phase noise, etc. In this paper,...

Physical Impairments in All-Optical Networks
This white paper proposes an original approach aiming to minimize both CAPEX and OPEX inherent to Electrical Regenerator ER placement. Three linear transmission impairments are considered: ASE Amplified Spontaneous Emission, PMD Polarization Mode Dispersion and Intra-Channel crosstalk ICX. The impact of the gain profile of inline EDFAs is also investigated.

Physical-Layer Considerations for the Realistic Deployment of Impairment-Aware Connection Provisioning
Nowadays, impairment-aware connection provisioning is a hot topic due to the evolution of optical networks to all-optical infrastructures and to the need to maintain or enhance Quality of Service QoS. Most of the research efforts in this field use complex, analytical models of impairments as the basis for the connection...

Physical Impairment Based Regenerator Placement and Routing in Translucent Optical Networks
A novel Constraint-Based Routing CBR algorithm taking into account the dominant linear and nonlinear fiber optical transmission impairments has been analyzed. It is shown that CBR and intelligent regenerator placement decrease the blocking probability significantly. In future transparent optical transmission systems automatic wavelength switching will be introduced (Automatically Switched Optical...

Performance of MIMO OFDM Systems in Fading Channels With Additive TX and RX Impairments
The performance of OFDM based systems is seriously affected by imperfections in system implementation. To gain a better understanding of the influence of these impairments on the performance of multiple antenna OFDM systems, this paper studies a zero-forcing based MIMO OFDM system with imperfections modeled as additive error sources in...
