Development of Multi-Service (MS) for SAC-OCDMA systems
ABSTRACT
A Multi-Service Optical Code Division Multiple Access (MS-OCDMA) code based on
Spectral Amplitude Coding (SAC) is proposed in this paper. The advantage of proposed code
on setting a variable number of users in a basic code matrix with a fixed code weight makes it
more flexible in generating codewords. The appropriate quality of service required for
various network applications can be provided by choosing a different number of users for the
basic code matrix of MS code. The properties of the proposed code is compared with other
OCDMA codes in terms of code length and maximum cross-correlation. The performance of
the MS code mathematically analysed and probability of error for users is plotted as a
function of the number of active users and optical received power. Shot, phase induced
intensity and thermal noises are considered in mathematical analysis. Results show that by
choosing code weight of 4 and optimizing number of users per sequence, the MS code
supports up to 82 users, each operating at a bit-rate of 622 Mbps with reference to the Bit
Error Rate (BER) of 10−9.
