Fresh Prime Codes Evaluation for Synchronous PPM and OPPM Signaling for Optical CDMA Networks

In this paper, we have proposed a novel prime spreading sequence family hereby referred to as ldquodouble-padded modified prime code (DPMPC)rdquo for direct-detection synchronous optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) networks. The new code is applied to both pulse-position and overlapping pulse-position modulation CDMA networks, and their performances were evaluated and compared with existing prime codes family. In addition, we have analyzed the system throughput and also introduced a new interference cancellation technique which significantly improves the bit error probability of OCDMA networks.     

Incoherent Two-Dimensional Array Modulation Transceiver for Photonic CDMA

This paper proposes a novel incoherent optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) transceiver design, as a promising network access employing a newly introduced prime code family named as double-padded modified prime code as spreading sequences, based on the 2-D optical modulation scheme deploying frequency and polarization shift keying. Hereafter, it is referred to as F-PolSK. The novel F-PolSK-OCDMA system has been accurately analyzed taking into account the presence of 1) optical amplified spontaneous emission noise; 2) electronic receiver noise; 3) photo-diode shot-noise; and 4) multiple-access interference (MAI). The application of the optical tapped-delay lines at the receiver as a CDMA-decoder has also been investigated. The evaluation of 2-D array modulation in conjunction with OCDMA indicates that the binary combination of this hybrid scheme enhances the overall system performance. The results reveal that the proposed architecture can easily accommodate greater number of users and consume less power as compared with previous schemes. On the other hand, in polarization modulation since the optical beam power is constant, the system has immunity against the self- and cross-phase modulations. Besides, the system security is much enhanced due to 2-D advanced modulation in optical domain.     

Optical orthogonal codes with large crosscorrelation and their performance bound for asynchronous optical CDMA systems

Optical orthogonal codes (OOCs) are commonly used as signature codes for optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) communication systems. Many OOCs have been proposed and investigated. Asynchronous OCDMA systems using conventional OOCs have a very limited number of subscribers and few simultaneous users. Recently, we reported a new code family with large code size by relaxing the crosscorrelation constraint to 2. In this paper, by further loosening the crosscorrelation constraint, we adopt the random greedy algorithm to construct a code family which has larger code size and more simultaneous users. We also derive an upper bound of the number of simultaneous users for a given code length, code weight, and bit error rate. The study shows that it is possible to have codes approaching this bound.     

Monotonicity of Likelihood Ratio of MAP Correlation Detection for OCDMA Communication

In this paper, the monotonicity of the likelihood ratio used in the optimal correlation detection is established for optical code division multiple-access (OCDMA). The monotonicity property not only guarantees the optimality of the detection, it also enables us to calculate the bit-error-rate bounds for OCDMA in the presence of uncertain a priori probabilities.     

A new family of space/wavelength/time spread three-dimensionaloptical code for OCDMA networks

A new family of space/wavelength/time spread three-dimensional (3-D) optical codes for optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) networks has been proposed. Two types of 3-D codes have been constructed: 3-D codes with single pulse per plane and 3-D codes with multiple pulses per plane. Both codes are based on the prime sequence algorithm and have shown improved performance compared to the previously proposed two-dimensional (2-D) prime code. Effective implementation of the 3-D code has also been proposed. In order to eliminate the requirement of fiber ribbons and multiple star couplers in space/wavelength/time spread 3-D code based optical networks, a wavelength²/time scheme has been suggested, in which the periodic property of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) is used. It has been shown that the system performance can be maximized for given resources with a proper choice of the wavelength²/time scheme. Due to the improved performance of the 3-D code and the effective architecture of the wavelength²/time scheme, the feasibility of the OCDMA network is much enhanced

IP Routing and Traffic Analysis in Coherent Optical CDMA Networks

This paper proposes a novel IP routing schemes over coherent optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) network. As spreading code, flexible in length double-padded modified prime code (DPMPC) has been deployed. The performance has been analyzed in terms of the users' channel utilization factor in the network. The results are comparable with previous schemes and indicate that the architecture is power efficient and capable of accommodating greater number of active users with advantage of shorter code length (i.e., higher bit rate). It is shown that for a maximum bit rate the network performance can be improved by reducing the channel utilization. However, when each user in the network has a fixed bit rate, optimal channel utilization can be set for the overall network performance. Additionally, each IP packet is buffered only at the edge of this network, thus the buffer delay is significantly reduced compared with traditional routing schemes. Since the optical encoder is adjusted for number of packets rather than individually, the encoder adjusting time is also significantly reduced. Analytical results clearly indicate that coherent OCDMA technique can be a fine candidate for the future ultra fast optical IP networks.

Performance Improving of OCDMA System Using 2-D Optical Codes With Optical SIC Receiver

In this paper, we have studied the probability of error of optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system using 2-D optical codes, namely prime hop and hybrid codes with a probability distribution approach.

Comparison in terms of OCDMA system's performance between these two receivers has been reported. In order to obtain the optimum OCDMA system's performance, we have studied several optical SIC receiver structures. Optimum choice of the number of stages in the SIC receiver and the threshold value on each stage has been reported.

Coherent optical CDMA (OCDMA) systems used for high-capacityoptical fiber networks-system description, OTDMA comparison, andOCDMA/WDMA networking

As the wavelength resource in mainstream wavelength-division multiple-access (WDMA) systems becomes exhausted, and the bit-rate limitation within a single wavelength bandwidth is reached, alternative approaches to implementing a high-capacity optical fiber network need to be investigated. Coherent optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) systems, that can access many users simultaneously and asynchronously (or synchronously) across the single wavelength and same timeslot via spread spectrum techniques, are one alternative. In the longer term, the advantages of OCDMA in tandem with WDMA (OCDMA/WDMA) networks are compelling and worthy of further investigation in the goal of realising an extensive, flexible, high throughput and easily managed optical telecommunication infrastructure. In this paper, coherent OCDMA systems are introduced, and the issues of the system implementation within high-capacity optical fiber networks are discussed. A performance comparison between OCDMA and OTDMA systems is then carried out, both of them using narrow pulse laser sources. An optical fiber network utilizing coherent OCDMA techniques as one layer of a multiplexing hierarchy, in tandem with WDMA, is illustrated and a possible hybrid OCDMA/WDMA network architecture (and its performances and advantages) is described     

On the Teletraffic Capacity of Optical CDMA

The capacity of an optical CDMA (OCDMA) network has traditionally been defined as the number of continuously transmitting circuits supported by the network. In this paper, we use teletraffic models to determine the teletraffic capacity of a circuit-switched OCDMA network where circuits carry bursty traffic. Our analysis is independent of the OCDMA implementation or spreading code. In conventional networks, e.g., a wavelength-routed-network (WRN), new circuits are blocked when all wavelengths are occupied. In OCDMA, when the number of codewords exceeds the number of network subscribers, new circuits need not be blocked. Instead, capacity is limited by multiple-access interference: when the number of actively transmitting circuits becomes excessive, the bit-error rate of all circuits on the network degrades, causing an outage. We find that through statistical multiplexing, the capacity of OCDMA exceeds that of a WRN, except when circuit activity is very high, while the constraints on outages are more stringent than those blocking. In such cases, we show how OCDMA with call admission control can be used to match or exceed the capacity of a WRN. Overall, our analysis shows that OCDMA is well suited to applications when conventional blocking is undesirable, and/or circuits carry bursty traffic.      

Performance Analysis of an Integrated Spectral OCDMA Technique Including Coupler Imbalance

In this letter, we show, for the first time, that an integrated spectral optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) technique has a comparable performance with respect to coherent OCDMA techniques based on a crosstalk analysis. The code set is further studied on its resilience against imbalances in the 3-dB couplers of the en/decoders (E/Ds). The orthogonality remains acceptable for imbalance penalties up to 1 dB. The analysis done in the letter considers a cascade and a tree E/D which shows negligible differences in performance.

Enhancing spectral efficiency and capacity in synchronous OCDMA by transposed-MPC

This paper investigates a newly proposed spreading code-set based on the prime code (PC) families referred to as ‘transposed modified prime codes (T-MPC)’ for the enhancement of spectral efficiency of synchronous incoherent optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) networks. This code family increased the code-set cardinality up to twice of existing PC families’ size. This also implies that a greater number of users can be accommodated by the network. Since there is no longer a time-shift feature in T-MPC like in conventional modified prime codes (MPC), the code is not predictable and thus even more secure. Since the code structure is similar to MPC, its deployment in a system/network already running MPC will not require hardware modification. Due to the higher code utilization factor of T-MPC, a greater number of users are accommodated under certain bit-error rate (BER) resulting in remarkable improvement in the spectral efficiency (SE) and capacity. The T-MPC compatibility with low-weight energy-efficient MPC construction is also investigated. The BER and SE performances are analyzed and compared with existing code families. The results indicated that the T-MPC employment can improve up to 50% higher spectral efficiency.     

Performance analysis of WS-EWC coded optical CDMA networks with/without LDPC codes

One extended Welch-Costas (EWC) code family for the wavelength-division-multiplexing/spectral-amplitude coding (WDM/SAC; WS) optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) networks is proposed. This system has a superior performance as compared to the previous modified quadratic congruence (MQC) coded OCDMA networks. However, since the performance of such a network is unsatisfactory when the data bit rate is higher, one class of quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) code is adopted to improve that. Simulation results show that the performance of the high-speed WS-EWC coded OCDMA network can be greatly improved by using the LDPC codes.
