Prime Codes with Applications to Wireless and Optical Networks

This first-of-its-kind book provides you with the latest research on prime codes and their advanced wireless and optical communications applications. It describes in clear, concise language the fundamental issues involved in prime codes and their relationships to modern communications, with the focus on performance analysis and results. Examples are used to illustrate the fundamental concepts and to show you how prime codes are designed. You learn how to apply prime codes to optical communication systems and networks with experimental demonstrations. The first part of the book helps you master the mathematical concepts and formulations that are essential throughout the book. In addition to providing you with the mathematical tools, this part develops the theories and designs of prime codes. This detailed resource goes on to provide you with targets for optical applications of prime codes, and shows how prime codes are applied to code-division multiple-access (CDMA) optical networks. Moreover, you learn about targets for wireless applications of prime codes, and how prime codes are applied to frequency-hopping code-division multiple-access (FH-CDMA) wireless networks. The book is extensively supported with over 300 equations and more than 100 illustrations.
