Performance analysis of slotted fiber-optic code-division multiple-access (CDMA) packet networks

This paper examines code-division multiple-access (CDMA) techniques used in slotted fiber-optic packet networks. Since the inherent properties and signal processing of the conventional communication channels are different from those of the fiber-optic channels, new code sequences must be constructed for fiber-optic applications. The goal of our research is to analyze the performance of fiber-optic CDMA packet networks using code sequences with given orthogonality properties.
