A method for communicating a bit stream using turbo coding encodes each input bit in the bitstream using a single 13 rate turbo encoder to produce a set of three bits. A first optical fiber is provided for connecting between the first laser light source and the DUV light source. In the absence of the appliance, at least two of the terminals can be short circuited. An optical communication network is also provided that at least includes an optical transmission line, at least two network terminals, and at least one static compensation module. When a 4G network is modified by adding new base stations, the optimum handoff thresholds and advertised base station neighbors are automatically recalculated in a manner that reduces the number of unnecessary handoffs in a dense network with large number of pico and macro base stations.
