      Principle of demodulation schemeAdvantageDisadvantage
      Remove the BFS of the reference fiber from the measured fiber[6]Firstly realize the T and ε dual-parameter measurement1)Extra fiber length and measured time; 2)Measurement errors caused by differences of the fiber length and environments
      Combine BOTDA and FBG[7]Reduce experiment costs and raise measurement efficiencyCannot realize DFOS*
      Use BFS and power value of BGS for demodulation[9]Only use BOTDA system to measure a single fiberBGS peak power fluctuation reduces measurement accuracy
      Special fiber(PCF) Use multi-peak BGS frequency shift[10]Use the BFS of different peaks to obtain T and ε factorAdjacent BGPs crosstalk limits the measurement range
      (PMF) Combine BOTDA and BDG to obtain BFS and BireFS[11]Improved resolution and sensing sensitivityComplex system
      (LEAF)Use the linewidth and peak power of multi-peak BGS[12]Higher measurement accuracy than PCF fiberAdjacent BGPs crosstalk limits the measurement range
      (FMF)Measure BFS in different spatial modes[13]Avoid crosstalk of BGPs; increase the measurement range1) Sensitive to fiber bending;2) Lower measurement resolution
      (MCF) Measure the BFS of different cores[14]Multiple distributed sensing;higher measurementSensitive to fiber bending
      Measure BFS of different working wavelengths[15]Base on operating wavelength differencesLarger loss in 850 nm working mode
      Raman/Rayleigh scattering assistedHybrid BOTDA/R-DTS scheme[16] based on coding technologyEliminate the constraints caused by different light sources between the two systemsComplex system
      Combine BOTDA and OFDR to obtain BFS and RBSS[17]Higher spatial resolution and measurement efficiency of OFDRHigh cost and low efficiency of the system
      Use DNN technology for demodulation[19]Higher measurement accuracy and faster demodulation speedLarge amounts of the experiment and simulation data before testing
