In this paper, a high-speed transmission system that combines a multimode fiber (MMF) with Free Space Optics (FSO) is proposed to accommodate the rapid growth of traffic. As Orbital Angular Beams Multiplexing (OAM) plays a crucial role in 6G networks by enhancing transmission capacity, four OAM beams (LG0,0\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${LG}_{\\mathrm{0,0}}$$\\end{document}, LG0,20\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${LG}_{\\mathrm{0,20}}$$\\end{document}, LG0,40\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${LG}_{\\mathrm{0,40}}$$\\end{document}, and LG0,40\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${LG}_{\\mathrm{0,40}}$$\\end{document}) are utilized in this study. Additionally, the Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) technique is employed, known for its high level of confidentiality and the ability to allow multiple channels to transmit data simultaneously. To ensure ubiquitous data transmission, two channels: MMF and FSO are used. Accordingly, in our proposed MMF/FSO system, we employ four OAM beams, with each carrying four OCDMA channels assigned distinct Permutation Vector (PV) codes. With a data transmission rate of 10 Gbps on each OCDMA channel, the overall capacity of the system amounts to 160 Gbps (10 Gbps × 4 OCDMA channels × 4 OAM beams). Moreover, the performance is investigated and evaluated using two scenarios. The first assumes an FSO range of 5 km and Clear Air (CA) weather conditions, with a variable MMF length. In contrast, the second scenario maintains a fixed MMF length of 1 km while altering the FSO span. Weather conditions like CA and rain conditions; Light Rain (LR), Medium Rain (MR), and Heavy Rain (HR) are considered while evaluating the system performance in the second case. The bit error rate (BER), travelling distances in the channel either MMF or FSO, and eye diagrams are among the metrics used for evaluation. They all provide information about the received signal performance. Finally, the obtained results for the proposed MMF/FSO system, utilizing OAM beams and PV codes, indicate that in the first scenario, the system can support a total capacity of 160 Gbps across all channels. The performance is noteworthy, with a BER below 10-5\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${10}^{-5}$$\\end{document} and a wide eye opening, enabling successful transmission over 6.2 km (1.2 km MMF length + fixed 5 km FSO span). For the second scenario, the achievable distance is decreased due to the attenuation caused by rain. It becomes 2.62 km (1 km MMF + 1.62 km FSO span), 5.2 km (1 km MMF + 1.2 km FSO span), and 1.77 km (1 km MMF + 0.77 km FSO span), under LR, MR, and HR, respectively.

A 930 m/180 Gbps*User Underwater Coherent Optical Code-Division Multiple-Access Network Based on Hybrid 256-Differential Pulse Position Modulation and Weighted Modified Prime Code Sequence

Currently, there are three types of optical communication networks based on the communication channel between the transmitter and receiver: the optical fiber channel, visible light channel, and optical wireless channel networks. The last type has several advantages for underwater communication, wireless sensors, and military communication networks. However, this type of optical network suffers from weather conditions in free-space communications and attenuation owing to the scattering and absorption mechanisms for underwater communication. In this study, we present a new transceiver architecture of a coherent optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system based on a hybrid M-ary differential pulse position modulation scheme and a spreading code sequence called weighted modified prime code for underwater communication to minimize channel dispersion, increase the transmission rate per second, enhance the network bit error rate (BER) performance, and improve network security. Using an OCDMA system, we can simultaneously expand the network coverage area and increase the number of users sharing the network over the same channel bandwidth. The simulation results in this study proved that the proposed system can accommodate 1310 active users and a network throughput of 180 Gbps*user over a transmission distance of 930 m without any repeater at a 10−9 BER performance, compared to the 45 Gbps*user network throughput and 100 m transmission distance reported in the literature.

Performance analysis of 2D optical code division multiple access through underwater wireless optical medium

The performance of a two-dimensional optical code division multiple access (2D-OCDMA) system using an underwater wireless optical (UWO) medium is assessed in this work. The optical source is an LED with a working wavelength of 532 nm, and the optical detector is a p–i–n photodiode. When calculating the bit error rate (BER), the phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN), thermal noises, and shot sounds are taken into account. The user code address is set using 2D perfect difference (2D-PD) codes. Link distance, inclination angle, beam divergence angle, transmitter power, and the number of concurrent users are all taken into account when determining the BER performance. For various water media, such as pure sea water (PSW), clear ocean water (CLOW), and coastal ocean water (CSOW), the performance of the suggested system is examined.

Underwater optical wireless communication system based on dual polarization states with optical code division multiple access: performance evaluation

Performance evaluation of a UOWC system based on the FRS/OCDMA code for different types of Jerlov waters.

In this work, the fixed right shift (FRS) code is utilized for the optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) technique in an underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system. Additionally, in this system, a 532nm laser diode (LD) source is employed to generate optical signals. The investigation encompasses an analysis of five distinct Jerlov water types, each exhibiting diverse chlorophyll concentrations. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated when each channel that is assigned a unique FRS code sequence carries different data rates (2.5, 5, and 10Gbps). Underwater (UW) ranges, bit error rate (BER), eye diagrams, and quality factor (Q-factor) are the performance metrics used to evaluate the system performance. The proposed UOWC-FRS/OCDMA system is simulated, and the obtained results show that the eye diagram openings close, the BER increases, and the Q-factor decreases as the data rate per each channel increases from 2.5 to 10Gbps, and the attenuation of water becomes higher. Moreover, the lower attenuation values caused by the Jerlov type I (JI) waterbody allow each channel to carry 10Gbps of data to propagate longer UW for a range of 35m with a log(BER) ≤-6.33 and Q-factor greater than 4.9. On the other hand, at the same values of BER and Q-factor, the shortest ranges of 12 and 5.15m are obtained for JII and JIII waters, respectively, where their attenuation coefficient values are 0.5297 (JII) and 1.8998 m -1 (JIII). Furthermore, as our model uses three channels, the overall achieved capacity is 3×10G b p s=30G b p s.

Influence of different codes on the performance of SAC‐OCDMA over FSO link

SummaryThis paper evaluates the performance of a spectral‐amplitude‐coding optical code division multiple access (SAC‐OCDMA) system over a free space optical (FSO) communication link under various weather conditions such as fog, snow, and rain. The system uses different code families, including modified quadrature congruence (MQC), random diagonal (RD), and diagonal eigenvalue unity (DEU), to address user codes and reduce the effects of multiple access interference (MAI). The system's bit error rate (BER) performance has been analyzed taking into account receiver noises and MAI, and calculates the required optical power for a BER value of 10−9 under different weather conditions. The results show that fog has the most significant impact on the system's performance, while rainy conditions require the lowest optical power. The performance of the system also declines with increasing transmission length and concurrent user count. Finally, the paper compares the performance of different code families under unfavorable weather conditions and concludes that DEU performs better than MQC and RD in bad weather.

Performance Analysis of New 2D Spatial OCDMA Encoding based on HG Modes in Multicore Fiber

This paper presents a pioneering 2D spatial Optical Code-Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) encoding system that exploits Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM) and Multicore Fiber (MCF) technologies. This innovative approach utilizes two spatial dimensions to enhance the performance and security of OCDMA systems. In the first dimension, we employ Hermite-Gaussian modes (HG00, HG01, HG11) to modulate each user's signal individually. This unique approach offers a robust means of data transmission while ensuring minimal interference among users. The second-dimension leverages MCF encoding, introducing two incoherent OCDMA codes: the Zero Cross Correlation (ZCC) code (λc=0) and the ZFD code (λc=1). These codes are thoughtfully designed and simulated, taking into account their cross-correlation properties to guarantee minimal interference and heightened data security. To assess the efficiency of this novel OCDMA encoding system, we implemented simulations with three active users using the Opti system software. At the transmitter end, each user's signal is modulated individually by their designated HG mode (HG00, HG01, HG11), resulting in separate channels. Subsequently, at the multicore fiber, each user's data is encoded with a unique code-word, and they are directed through specific core groups, ensuring data isolation and integrity. In this paper, the BER and eye pattern are examined with respect to different parameters such as data rate and distance. At a distance of 5 km and data rate of 10 Gbit/s, a BER value around 10-70 is achieved.

Bit Error Rate Performance in CDMA Free Space Optical Links with SIK Receiver under Fog Conditions

This article presents a novel analytical method for evaluating fog's impact on Bit Error Rate (BER) in an Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) Free Space Optical (FSO) connection. The investigation employs an optical encoder and direct detection receiver employing a balanced photo detector with Sequence Inverse Keying (SIK) to explore fog effects. By scrutinizing multi-access interference (MAI) current and signal current values at the SIK receiver's output under varied fog conditions, we deduce BER expressions for diverse scenarios. These encompass different fog thickness levels, code lengths, simultaneous users, and system parameters. The results reveal substantial OCDMA degradation due to fog thickness and users. Also, the system incurs a marked power penalty at a specific BER, especially with higher fog and user density. However, we identify a potential solution: increasing code length, effectively mitigating fog-induced performance decline.

Optimization and analysis of Spectral/Spatial optical code division multiple access passive optical network

The deployment of high-capacity transport networks while maintaining strict cost constraints is a formidable challenge for network operators in the era of networks beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G. This work explores the use of a 2D spectral-spatial optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) passive optical network (PON). It optimizes the conventional architecture to minimize the cost of deployment while maintaining desirable transmission capacity. Optimization is performed by developing a PON architecture with 2D double-weight zero cross-correlation (DW-ZCC) code that is able to support high capacity through ideal auto and cross-correlation properties. Furthermore, time delay units are employed after the spectral and spatial encoding process to minimize the use of long-span parallel optical fiber path and reduce the overall cost of deployment. Simulation analysis demonstrates that the proposed system is able to support 128 subscribers, each communicating at 10 Gbps data over a system sensitivity of approximately −21 dB. Capital expenditure (CapEx) analysis also demonstrates the effectiveness of the system optimization and reports substantial cost cuts in deploying the proposed architecture compared with the conventional counterpart.

Performance analysis of 3 × 10 Gb/s UOWC transmission system based on OCDMA using a DPS code

A new underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system utilizing optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is proposed based on diagonal permutation shift (DPS) code. Different data rates of 2.5 Gb/s, 5 Gb/s, and 10 Gb/s are transmitted simultaneously in this model, where three channels are utilized, each is assigned with a distinct DPS code-sequence. Additionally, laser diodes operating in the green spectrum range are modulated to carry the OCDMA optical signals of each channel. Moreover, attenuation caused by different types of waterbodies are considered. These waterbodies include those who are located near harbors like harbor I (HA I) and harbor II (HA II), near the coast that are known as coastal sea (CS), inside sea water ‘pure sea (PS)’, and in clear oceans (CL). The performance of the UOWC utilizing OCDMA/DPS code system is evaluated through bit error rate (BER), quality factor , and eye diagrams. The accomplished results assure a successful transmission of the three channels underwater for ranges of 13 m for PS, 10 m for CL, 7.2 m for CS, 4.3 m for HA I, and 3 m for HA II with BER below 10-5\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${10}^{-5}$$\\end{document} at data rate 10 Gb/s.

Feasibility analysis of 2-dimensional permutation vector optical code division multiple access passive optical network

This paper analyzes the feasibility of a 2-dimensional (2D) permutation vector (PV) optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) passive optical network (PON) in terms of transmission capacity, network reliability, power budget, and the number of subscribers. The proposed PON is built with a novel 2D PV-OCDMA code having ideal auto- and cross-correlation properties. Furthermore, a ring-based topology at the feeder level and a tree-based topology at the distribution level are utilized to support ubiquitous computing. The proposed architecture also employs multiple remote nodes at the feeder level to facilitate adequate power budget and cardinality for high-capacity applications. Simulation results indicate that the proposed PON elevates system transmission capacity by eliminating phase-induced intensity noise and multiple access interference. Furthermore, reliability analysis using mathematical formalism demonstrates that the proposed architecture can provide a connection availability of ≈0.099993 (5 nines), which is significantly higher than the conventional tree-based topology. Power budget analysis also determines that the proposed PON can support well above 320 subscribers at adequate receiver sensitivity and optical network terminals (ONTs) per remote node.

Information Leakage Rate of Optical Code Division Multiple Access Network Using Wiretap Code.

Secrecy capacity is usually employed as the performance metric of the physical layer security in fiber-optic wiretap channels. However, secrecy capacity can only qualitatively evaluate the physical layer security, and it cannot quantitatively evaluate the physical layer security of an imperfect security system. Furthermore, secrecy capacity cannot quantitatively evaluate the amount of information leakage to the eavesdropper. Based on the channel model of an optical CDMA network using wiretap code, the information leakage rate is analyzed to evaluate the physical layer security. The numerical results show that the information leakage rate can quantitatively evaluate the physical layer security of an optical CDMA wiretap channel, and it is related to transmission distance, eavesdropping position, confidential information rate and optical code.

A Secure Optical Body Area Network Based on Free Space Optics and Time-Delayed 2D-Spectral/Spatial Optical CDMA

Free space optics (FSO)-based optical body area networks (OBANs) are receiving massive attention as an opportunity to address the limitations of their radio frequency (RF)-based counterparts. This boom in research interests is primarily due to multitude of benefits, including high capacity, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), rapid installation, cost efficiency, and license-free use of spectrum. Securing the transmission of patient health data against interception in OBANs using insecure FSO channels is a challenging task. Therefore, we propose a low-cost, flexible, and secure OBAN based on FSO technology and a time-delayed two dimensional (2D) spectral/spatial optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) system. The proposed architecture consists of eight sensors attached to the bodies of patients. The sensors operate at a rate of 50 kbps. Electrical data generated from each sensor are used to modulate an optical carrier and then encoded using 2D-spectral/spatial double weight–zero cross correlation (DW-ZCC) code. The 2D encoded optical signals are then time delayed to eliminate the multiple parallel FSO channels between the transmitter and medical center. The combined optical signal consists of eight 2D-encoded time-delayed optical signals transmitted towards a remote medical center over an FSO channel with a range of 1 km. The received signal is decoded and the data from each sensor are recovered after photodetection at the medical center for further analysis. The overall performance of the sensors is analyzed using bit-error rate (BER) and quality factor (Q-factor) plots for different weather conditions and lengths of the FSO channel, considering the log-normal channel model. The capital expenditure (CAPEX) of the proposed architecture is analyzed and compared with the conventional 2D-spectral/spatial FSO system to determine the overall impact of introducing time delay units on the cost of implementation.

Performance improvements of a VLC system, in a V2X context, using a different multiplexing technique

This paper scrutinizes visible light communication (VLC) employing hybrid optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). It also demonstrates the simulation of VLC using the direct sequence optical code division multiple access (DS-OCDMA) system developed by OptiSystem-Matlab Co-simulation. The profits of WDM and OTDM capacities have been combined using two levels of freedom to build up of the system. The performances are demonstrated in the simulated findings of the bit error rate (BER) in relationship with the data rate and the number of users. First, the simulated results display the usefulness of the system. Then, the number of users has been significantly enhanced. Besides, the OCDMA functions by appointing a specific code to each user and could provide asynchronous and simultaneous access to numerous users. One drawback is multiple access interference (MAI). The use of very long code sequences is crucial in order to lessen this effect. Hence, very large bandwidths are essential. This study aims at demonstrating, through system simulation, the practicability of an all-optical conventional correlation receiver dedicated to a DS-OCDMA access network link. Again, OptiSystem has been used to realize our blocks.

A high-speed integrated OFDM/DPS-OCDMA-based FSO transmission system: Impact of atmospheric conditions

Free space optics (FSO) communication systems are preferred due to their high transmission capacity so it can support the ever-increasing volume of online traffic. Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is ideal for enhancing capacity by utilizing the same wavelengths for different information transmission. This paper presents a new FSO system based on the combination of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and OCDMA systems. Three OCDMA channels, employing diagonal permutation shift (DPS) codes, carry 20 Gbps each, modulated by 4-level quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and OFDM. To assess performance, the proposed system considers severe climate conditions like rain, fog, and snow. The effectiveness is measured by bit error rate (BER) and received optical power (ROP). In addition, actual meteorological data for the cities of Alexandria, Egypt and Pune, India are evaluated to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model in a real-world setting. The results reveal successful transmission with an overall capacity of 60 Gbps over a 3600 m FSO range in Alexandria, achieving a 0.27 dBm ROP. In Pune, with higher average rainfall, the maximum FSO link is 2750 m with a −0.06 ROP. Furthermore, the proposed model can propagate up to 850 m under weak turbulence (WT).

Performance Analysis of Coherent Source SAC OCDMA in Free Space Optical Communication Systems

In this paper, we investigate the performance of spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC OCDMA) systems under the effect of beat noise and turbulence. Three different multi-laser source configurations are considered in this analysis: shared multi-laser, separate multi-laser, and carefully controlled center frequency separate multi-laser. We demonstrate through Monte Carlo simulation that the gamma–gamma probability density function (pdf) cannot adequately approximate the measured intensity of overlapping lasers and that an empirical pdf is required. Results also show it is possible to achieve error-free transmission at a symmetrical data rate of 10 Gbps for all active users when only beat noise is taken into account by precisely controlling the center frequencies. However, only 30% of the active users can be supported when both beat noise and turbulence are considered.
