A queuing subsystem is proposed to the round robin receiver/transmitter (RT ) optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) protocol. The corresponding state diagram and its mathematical model are outlined. We prove that significant improvement in terms of system throughput and blocking probability can be achieved by only adding a single buffer at each user node. Furthermore, the modified RT pr...

We extend three types of overloaded CDMA systems, by displacing in time the binary signature sequences of these systems: (1) random spreading (PN), (2) multiple-OCDMA (MO), and (3) PN/OCDMA (PN/O). For each of these systems, we determine the time shifts that minimize the overall multiuser interference power. The achievable channel load with coded and uncoded data is evaluated for the convention...

1 The most common metric for evaluating the performance of an optical communications system is the symbol error probability (SEP) versus the received optical power. In circuit-like optical systems employing binary transmission such as WDM, this SEP takes the form of the Bit Error Rate (BER) which is, in general, relatively constant. However, when considering an asynchronous multiple access Opti...

Abstract. In this paper, performance of incoherent and asynchronous optical CDMA (OCDMA) systems employing “optical encoding” is investigated and the results are compared with the results obtained when the encoding is performed in electrical domain. These investigations are performed for receiver structures that employ a single hard limiter (SHL), a double optical hard limiter (DHL) and also fo...

In this paper we evaluate efficiency of a hybrid optical CDMA system on various coding & detection scheme. OCDMA system based on sub carrier multiplexed (SCM) & spectral amplitude coding (SAC) is compared using different coding techniques such as Hadamard codes, Double Weighted Codes (DWC) and Enhanced Double Weighted Codes (EDWC) with different detection techniques including complementary, NAN...

In this paper, a novel model of Gaussian pulse propagation in optical fiber is proposed to comprehensively analyze the impact of Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD) on the performance of two-dimensional wavelength hopping/time spreading optical code division multiple access (2-D WH/TS OCDMA) systems. In addition, many noise and interferences, including multiple access interference (MAI), optical be...
