Design and analysis of a dynamic code division multiple access communication system based on tunable optical filter

Abstract

Abstract-A dynamic optical code division multiple access (DOCDMA) communication system is proposed for high-bandwidth communication systems. An implementation of the system is proposed based on a fast tunable optical filter (TOF) in each encoder and decoder. This technique actively modulates the central wavelength of a TOF according to a functional code at the transmitter during the bit period before the transmission of the data. The system is modeled and analyzed taking into account multiple access interference (MAI), thermal noise, and phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN). The performance of this system is compared to that of a spectral amplitude coding system that uses either a Hadamard code or a modified quadratic congruence (MQC) code. The results show that the proposed DOCDMA system reduces the PIIN effect on the performance of the system and improves the bit error rate (BER) performance at a large number of users. Furthermore, it is found that when the effective power is large enough, the MAI becomes the main factor that limits system performance, whereas when the effective power is relatively low, both thermal noise and PIIN become the main limiting factors with thermal noise having the main influence.Index Terms-Multiple access interference, optical code division multiple access (CDMA), optical fiber communication systems, spectral amplitude coding.

A New Hybrid Prime Code for OCDMA Network Multimedia Applications

“…Within the PC family, the WMPC is an improvement over MPC, i.e., double the number of code sequences, higher code weight, and better correlation properties assuming the same PC sequence length [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The MPC uses complex analysis methods to increase the code weight to further comply with the auto-correlation peak value.…”

Proposal of successive interference cancellation scheme in optical code-division multiple access systems

“…The problem of demodulating a specific user signal is complicated, as the other user signals exist in the same bandwidth. 2 In conventional receivers, the presence of other signals is treated as noise. In MUD algorithms, this noise is usually referred to as multiple access interference ͑MAI͒, and it is shown that this type of noise limits direct sequence CDMA ͑DS-CDMA͒ system capacity.…”

Performance of Optical CDMA by Considering Nonlinear Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Effects in Optical Fiber

“…Currently, OCDMA is a popular research area which offers a large bandwidth, more security and low attenuation and can therefore facilitate demanding services such as high-quality video transmission [2]. However, as the data rate on optical fiber increased and transmission lengths increased and the number of wavelengths increased and the optical power levels increased a whole host of nonlinear fiber effects [3].…”
