Abstract

A new hybrid based on pulse position modulation code division multiple access (PPM CDMA) is proposed and studied in the context of the indoor infrared LAN. The utilisation of optical orthogonal codes (OOC) as signature sequences is investigated. Original results are presented illustrating the improvement in bit rate achieved by utilising PPM CDMA rather than on-off keying (OOK) CDMA. It is demonstrated that there exists an optimum PPM order, at a given number of users, that maximises the achievable bit rate. Original results are presented for the false alarm errors due to the OOC cross-correlations while the optimum system operating parameters that minimise these errors are specified
