Abstract
The Quantum Noise Stream Cipher (QNSC) is offering very high security in physical layer of optical fiber communication network to meet the today’s main requirement of secure networks. However, the problem of timing and carrier frequency offset synchronization was higher for Coherent optical orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems using QNSC for network security. For higher-order modulation systems, the algorithms used to overcome this problem are offering very low accuracy. In addition to this, the chances of attack by an illegal receiver are more due to no encryption used for the preamble creation. Existing algorithms used to create a new preamble is: CNI ((conjugate, negative, and image) with Pseudo-Noise sequence) and CNC ((conjugate and negative) with Chu sequence). In this paper, ConvNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and CapNN (Capsule Neural Network) based joint synchronization of timing and frequency for CO-OFDM system is proposed. From the experiments, performed at 10Gbps, it has been illustrated that the proposed networks are giving more robust results. In addition to these proposed networks are offering better and secure performance for both timing and frequency offset synchronization by using less training data.
