Abstract

In this paper, we discuss possibilities of multirate transmission using fiber-optics code-division multiple-access (CDMA) networks. Two schemes are introduced: the parallel scheme and the serial mapping scheme. The theory of optical CDMA is reviewed and the basic properties of OOC families used in the paper given. Also a new property of optical orthogonal code (OOC) sequences is introduced which greatly increases the number of sequences in the network. Performance analysis of the two systems is done using as the parameter the number of simultaneous different-rate users as a function of the required probabilities of error. It is shown that addition of error correction coding increases the number of users in the network. Examples of the two systems are given and it is shown that a high number of different-rate users can be accommodated in the network with no increase in the complexity of optical processing.
