Comments on "Novel combinatorial constructions of optical orthogonal codes for incoherent optical CDMA systems"

For original paper see I.B. Djordjevic and B. Vasic, ibid., vol.21, no.9, p1869 (2003). Lin and Wu state that the balanced multiuser interference (MUI) cancellation decoder shown in the original paper is erroneous and cannot function. They feel that the balanced MUI cancellation decoder therefore cannot be used to decode the proposed code families based on MOLRs, integer lattice design, and AG. In order to make these code families applicable to spectral-amplitude-coding systems, the authors may need to propose another decoding scheme to solve this problem.
