Influence of Code Size Variation on the Performance of 2D Hybrid ZCC/MD in OCDMA System

Abstract

Abstract. Several two dimensional OCDMA have been developed in order to overcome many problems in optical network, enhancing cardinality, suppress Multiple Access Interference (MAI) and mitigate Phase Induced Intensity Noise (PIIN). This paper propose a new 2D hybrid ZCC/MD code combining between 1D ZCC spectral encoding where M is its code length and 1D MD spatial spreading where N is its code length. The spatial spreading (N) code length offers a good cardinality so it represents the main effect to enhance the performance of the system compared to the spectral (M) code length according to the numerical results.
