Performance evaluation of frequency-coded optical code division multiple access.
Abstract: Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is used recently as access method in optical fiber networks without the need for traffic management or system synchronization. It takes advantage of the sporadic use of channels by allowing many users to be simultaneously connected to the network. Among OCDMA systems, frequency-encoded optical code division multiple access (FE-OCDMA) deserves close attention because it solves many obstacles which appear in conventional OCDMA systems such as multiple access interference (MAI). In this work, an incoherent FE-OCDMA systems are modeled.
