Simulative Comprehensive Analysis of 2D Algebraically Constructed Codes for Optical CDMA

Abstract

In this manuscript, comprehensive analysis of distinct optical codes belonging to family of algebraically constructed codes has been demonstrated. Many optical codes belonging to algebraically constructed family such as Extended Reed-solomon codes (E-RS), Multi-level prime codes (MPC), Extended-multi level prime codes (E-MPC), and Variable-weight quadratic congruence codes (VWQCC), Bipolar/Unipolar codes are taken into consideration. The performance characteristics of these codes are examined through Hard-error limiting probability (HEP) equations. Investigations revealed that Bipolar/Unipolar code is the one algebraically developed code that has outperformed all the codes considered here even in the presence of Multi-user interference effect. It has been observed that this optical 2D Bipolar/Unipolar code shows minimum BER value with increasing user count. Hence Bipolar/Unipolar code is robust to multiple user interference affected OCDMA systems.
