Abstract: We will report on one of the first demonstrations of mobile cloud use cases in the 5G paradigm for smart transport systems in a university campus setting in the Philippines. Globally, 2019 has been identified as a watershed year for the demonstration of business cases for 5G, and this year many network operators are exploring how quickly and effectively traction and engagement can be gained from existing business and partner relationships. The Ateneo de Manila University is a unique academic partner as its Loyola Heights campus houses an eclectic collection of research institutions, grade school to graduate school units and a creative hub for the arts ...

Abstract: We report a new and richer ansatz for the standard KdV equation. It is a variant of the hyperbolic tangent function and is governed by a new parameter p (0 < p ≤ 1). It leads to three important consequences: (i) when p = 1, our new ansatz reduces to the familiar tanh(𝜃) function that is used to construct the ideal sech-shaped soliton solution in the KdV equation, (ii) when p = 0, it shrinks to a scaled tanh(𝜃/2) function that has interesting features, and (iii) when p is between 0 and 1, it generates a family of new soliton solutions that can account for physical differences from an ideal sech-shaped soliton ...

Abstract: The rapid evolution of microwave fiber links-based analog and digital communication systems, and the need for higher speed and higher bandwidth to support the Wireless 5G applications have increased the need for linear optical, optoelectronic and photonic components. In this paper, we review the linearization techniques and requirements for photonic components as they pertain to their utilization in digital and analog photonic links and networks. In particular, we present our work on Linear Electric Field Optical Modulator for digital coherent optical communication applications, and a Linear Optical Frequency Discriminator for phase-modulated direct-detection applications ...

Abstract: We present an unconventional approach to generate an optical analogue of the Thomas rotation angle found in Special Relativity (SR) by using a thin-film–based Gires–TournoisResonator (GTR). At first glance, the phase response of the GTR seems to fail as an optical analogue for the Thomas rotation angle in the phase domain but we demonstrate that an analogue can be successfully constructed in the intensity domain by combining the GTR with a Michelson interferometer (MI), thus forming an interferometer known as the Michelson–Gires–Tournois Interferometer (MGTI) ...
