“…In general, coherent O-CDMA supports higher spectral efficiency but is more sensitive to beat noise and physical impairments than incoherent O-CDMA [6], [14], [26]- [28]. As there exist rich collections of asynchronous unipolar optical codes, incoherent O-CDMA is more flexible in the choices of optical codes and code parameters, and potentially supports a variety of applications, such as optical-wireless, avionics communications, and multirate, multi-QoS, multimedia services [5], [10]- [12], [19], [22], [28]- [32]. Because of these reasons, this paper focuses on the asynchronous incoherent O-CDMA systems.…”
