Sequence Design for Cognitive CDMA Communications under Arbitrary Spectrum Hole Constraint
To support interference-free quasi-synchronous code-division multiple-access
(QS-CDMA) communication with low spectral density profile in a cognitive radio
(CR) network, it is desirable to design a set of CDMA spreading sequences with
zero-correlation zone (ZCZ) property. However, traditional ZCZ sequences (which
assume the availability of the entire spectral band) cannot be used because
their orthogonality will be destroyed by the spectrum hole constraint in a CR
channel. To date, analytical construction of ZCZ CR sequences remains open.
Taking advantage of the Kronecker sequence property, a novel family of
sequences (called "quasi-ZCZ" CR sequences) which displays zero
cross-correlation and near-zero auto-correlation zone property under arbitrary
spectrum hole constraint is presented in this paper. Furthermore, a novel
algorithm is proposed to jointly optimize the peak-to-average power ratio
(PAPR) and the periodic auto-correlations of the proposed quasi-ZCZ CR
sequences. Simulations show that they give rise to single-user bit-error-rate
performance in CR-CDMA systems which outperform traditional non-contiguous
multicarrier CDMA and transform domain communication systems; they also lead to
CR-CDMA systems which are more resilient than non-contiguous OFDM systems to
spectrum sensing mismatch, due to the wideband spreading.Comment: 13 pages,10 figures,Accepted by IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in

A survey on OFDM-based elastic core optical networking
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technology that has been widely adopted in many new and emerging broadband wireless and wireline communication systems. Due to its capability to transmit a high-speed data stream using multiple spectral-overlapped lower-speed subcarriers, OFDM technology offers superior advantages of high spectrum efficiency, robustness against inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference, adaptability to server channel conditions, etc. In recent years, there have been intensive studies on optical OFDM (O-OFDM) transmission technologies, and it is considered a promising technology for future ultra-high-speed optical transmission. Based on O-OFDM technology, a novel elastic optical network architecture with immense flexibility and scalability in spectrum allocation and data rate accommodation could be built to support diverse services and the rapid growth of Internet traffic in the future. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on OFDM-based elastic optical network technologies, including basic principles of OFDM, O-OFDM technologies, the architectures of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks, and related key enabling technologies. The main advantages and issues of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks that are under research are also discussed
