Design and Analysis of Self-Healing Tree-Based Hybrid Spectral Amplitude Coding OCDMA System
This paper presents an efficient tree-based hybrid spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) system that is able to provide high capacity transmission along with fault detection and restoration throughout the passive optical network (PON). Enhanced multidiagonal (EMD) code is adapted to elevate system’s performance, which negates multiple access interference and associated phase induced intensity noise through efficient two-matrix structure. Moreover, system connection availability is enhanced through an efficient protection architecture with tree and star-ring topology at the feeder and distribution level, respectively. The proposed hybrid architecture aims to provide seamless transmission of information at minimum cost. Mathematical model based on Gaussian approximation is developed to analyze performance of the proposed setup, followed by simulation analysis for validation. It is observed that the proposed system supports 64 subscribers, operating at the data rates of 2.5 Gbps and above. Moreover, survivability and cost analysis in comparison with existing schemes show that the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system provides the required redundancy at minimum cost of infrastructure and operation
Minimizing information asymmetry interference using optimal channel assignment strategy in wireless mesh networks
Multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks (MRMC-WMNs) in recent years are considered as the prioritized choice for users due to its low cost and reliability. MRMCWMNs is recently been deployed widely across the world but still these kinds of networks face interference problems among WMN links. One of the well-known interference issue is information asymmetry (IA). In case of information asymmetry interference the source mesh nodes of different mesh links cannot sense each other before transmitting data on the same frequency channel. This non-coordination leads to data collision and packet loss of data flow and hence degrades the network capacity. To maximize the MRMC-WMN capacity and minimize IA interference, various schemes for optimal channel assignment have been proposed already. In this research a novel and near-optimal channel assignment model called Information Asymmetry Minimization (IAM) model is proposed based on integer linear programming. The proposed IAM model optimally assigns orthogonal or non-overlapping channels from IEEE 802.11b technology to various MRMC-WMN links. Through extensive simulations we show that our proposed model gives 28.31% network aggregate network capacity improvement over the existing channel assignment model
Applications of perfect difference codes in fiber-optics and wireless optical code-division multiplexing/multiple-access systems
After establishing itself in the radio domain, Spread spectrum code-division
multiplexing/multiple-access (CDMA) has seen a recent upsurge in optical
domain as well. Due to its fairness, flexibility, service differentiation and
increased inherent security, CDMA is proved to be more suitable for the bursty
nature of local area networks than synchronous multiplexing techniques like
Frequency/Wavelength Division Multiplexing (F/WDM) and Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM). In optical domain, CDMA techniques are commonly known
as Optical-CDMA (O-CDMA). All optical CDMA systems are plagued with the
problem of multiple-access interference (MAI). Spectral amplitude coding (SAC)
is one of the techniques used in the literature to deal with the problem of MAI.
The choice of spreading code in any CDMA system is another way to ensure the
successful recovery of data at the receiving end by minimizing the effect of MAI
and it also dictates the hardware design of the encoder and decoder.
This thesis focuses on the efficient design of encoding and decoding hardware.
Perfect difference codes (PDC) are chosen as spreading sequences due to their
good correlation properties. In most of the literature, evaluation of error
probability is based on the assumptions of ideal conditions. Such assumptions
ignore major physical impairments such as power splitting losses at the
multiplexers of transmitters and receivers, and gain losses at the receivers, which
may in practice be an overestimate or underestimate of the actual probability of
error.
This thesis aims to investigate thoroughly with the consideration of practical
impairments the applications of PDCs and other spreading sequences in optical
communications systems based on spectral-amplitude coding and utilizing codedivision
as multiplexing/multiple-access technique. This work begins with a
xix
general review of optical CDMA systems. An open-ended practical approach has
been used to evaluate the actual error probabilities of OCDM/A systems under
study. It has been concluded from results that mismatches in the gains of
photodetectors, namely avalanche photodiode (APDs), used at the receiver side
and uniformity loss in the optical splitters results in the inaccurate calculation of
threshold level used to detect the data and can seriously degrade the system bit
error rate (BER) performance. This variation in the threshold level can be
compensated by employing techniques which maintain a constant interference
level so that the decoding architecture does not have to estimate MAI every time
to make a data bit decision or by the use of balanced sequences.
In this thesis, as a solution to the above problem, a novel encoding and decoding
architecture is presented for perfect difference codes based on common zero code
technique which maintains a constant interference level at all instants in CDM
system and thus relieves the need of estimating interference. The proposed
architecture only uses single multiplexer at the transmitters for all users in the
system and a simple correlation based receiver for each user. The proposed
configuration not only preserves the ability of MAI in Spectral-Amplitude Coding
SAC-OCDM system, but also results in a low cost system with reduced
complexity. The results show that by using PDCs in such system, the influence of
MAI caused by other users can be reduced, and the number of active users can be
increased significantly.
Also a family of novel spreading sequences are constructed called Manchestercoded
Modified Legendre codes (MCMLCs) suitable for SAC based OCDM
systems. MCMLCs are designed to be used for both single-rate and Multirate
systems. First the construction of MCMLCs is presented and then the bit error rate
performance is analyzed.
Finally the proposed encoding/decoding architecture utilizing perfect difference
codes is applied in wireless infrared environment and the performance is found to
be superior to other codes
APD Gain Effect on SAC-OCDMA System using Modified-AND Detection Technique
This paper investigates the avalanche photodiode (APD) gain effect on spectral-amplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA) system using a modified-AND subtraction detection in comparison to the conventional AND detection scheme. Analytical results are presented to investigate the APD gain impact on the bit-error rate (BER) performance. In addition, we confirm the influence of the APD over the positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodiode on the system performance using data transmission simulations
Reducing BER of spectral-amplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access systems by single photodiode detection technique
In this paper, we present a single photodiode detection (SPD) technique for spectral-amplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA) systems. The proposed technique eliminates both phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) and multiple-access interference (MAI) in the optical domain. Analytical results show that for 35 simultaneous users transmitting at data rate of 622 Mbps, the bit-error rate (BER) = 1.4x10^-28 for SPD technique is much better compared to 9.3x10^-6 and 9.6x10^-3 for the modified-AND as well as the AND detection techniques, respectively. Moreover, we verified the improved performance afforded by the proposed technique using data transmission simulation

Performance analysis of Spectral Amplitude Coding-Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) in free space optical networks with a multi-wavelength laser source
We present spectral amplitude coding, optical code division multiple access technique in free space optical network utilizing multi-wavelength laser source. Using the simulation software, the system performance is analysed while the impact of the turbulence is also considered. The simulation is implemented using modified double weight (MDW) code and for three users. The results show that using receiver aperture diameter, D, of 4 cm and beam divergence, θ, of 1 mrad, transmission distance 2.8, 2.45 and 2.25 km is achievable for weak, moderate and strong turbulence, respectively. This distance can be improved if bigger D or smaller θ were utilized; moreover, it is shown that the increment of turbulence increases jitter, which downgrades system performance
Réduction du bruit d'intensité dans les systèmes SAC-OCDMA incohérents utilisants des réseaux de Bragg
La limitation fondamentale des systèmes optiques utilisant des sources incohérentes est le bruit d'intensité. Notre objectif est de trouver des solutions pour limiter l'effet de ce bruit dans le cas particulier des systèmes utilisant la technique d'accès multiple par répartition de codes dans le domaine spectral (SAC-OCDMA). Dans ce travail, nous considérons des réseaux de Bragg pour effectuer les opérations d'encodage et de décodage. Puisqu'il est expérimentalement impossible d'obtenir des composants avec des réponses spectrales carrées idéales, nous étudions l'influence de la forme et de la largeur de la réponse spectrale des composants effectuant l'encodage et le décodage sur les performances en termes de taux d'erreur. Il est ainsi démontré que les performances optimales sont obtenues lorsqu'un recouvrement spectral des cases fréquentielles adjacentes est présent. Dans ce contexte, nous analysons l'effet du choix d'une permutation de code sur l'uniformité des performances en terme de taux d'erreur parmi les différents usagers. Nous utilisons ce résultat pour réaliser des réseaux de Bragg incluant une variation linéaire de la période du réseau que nous utiliserons en transmission afin de construire un système fonctionnant sur le principe du SAC-OCDMA. Nous obtenons des performances largement supérieures pour ce type de système comparativement à celles vues dans la littérature. Nous proposons également une nouvelle structure simplifiée du récepteur balancé classique. En plus de réduire le nombre de composants nécessaires à la réception, cette structure nous a permis de démontrer l'utilisation efficace d'amplificateurs à semiconducteurs pour réduire le bruit d'intensité. Il est également démontré expérimentalement que cette amélioration est surtout présente lorsque le nombre d'utilisateurs est faible. Nous expliquerons cette diminution rapide de l'amélioration par le fait qu'un filtrage optique subsiste pour tous les interférents sur un des bras de la détection balancée, ce qui annule le bénéfice de l'utilisation d'amplificateurs à semiconducteur
High Dimensional Modulation and MIMO Techniques for Access Networks
Exploration of advanced modulation formats and multiplexing techniques
for next generation optical access networks are of interest as promising
solutions for delivering multiple services to end-users. This thesis addresses
this from two different angles: high dimensionality carrierless amplitudephase
(CAP) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radio-over-fiber
(RoF) systems.
High dimensionality CAP modulation has been investigated in optical
fiber systems. In this project we conducted the first experimental demonstration
of 3 and 4 dimensional CAP with bit rates up to 10 Gb/s. These
results indicate the potentiality of supporting multiple users with converged
services. At the same time, orthogonal division multiple access
(ODMA) systems for multiple possible dimensions of CAP modulation has
been demonstrated for user and service allocation in wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) optical access network.
2 x 2 MIMO RoF employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM) with 5.6 GHz RoF signaling over all-vertical cavity surface
emitting lasers (VCSEL) WDM passive optical networks (PONs). We have
employed polarization division multiplexing (PDM) to further increase the
capacity per wavelength of the femto-cell network. Bit rate up to 1.59 Gbps
with fiber-wireless transmission over 1 m air distance is demonstrated.
The results presented in this thesis demonstrate the feasibility of high
dimensionality CAP in increasing the number of dimensions and their potentially
to be utilized for multiple service allocation to different users.
MIMO multiplexing techniques with OFDM provides the scalability in increasing
spectral effciency and bit rates for RoF systems.
High dimensional CAP and MIMO multiplexing techniques are two
promising solutions for supporting wired and hybrid wired-wireless access
networks
