Abstract: Recently, there has been increasing interest in field of Optical CDMA due to its potential for offering unmatched features at ultra high data rates in field of local and metro area networks. In this paper, a very simple method of Optical CDMA encoding known as the Temporal Phase Encoding is discussed and the performance of the system with this encoding technique is evaluated on the basis of number of users, length of the spreading code for 4-phase and 8-phases. Simulation results for the system are presented for upto seven users. Bit error rate curves are plotted with data rate of 1Gbps. This has been found that performance improves if normalized threshold higher than 0.5 is used. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper, we present simulation results for Reed–Muller (RM) turbo codes over AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. We also compare the simulation results of turbo product codes and block turbo codes with RM component codes over an AWGN channel. We show that minimum distance is not important as far as the BER performance of long codes is concerned. The weight distribution of RM codes of different lengths and turbo product codes with first-order RM component codes are obtained and analyzed for their good performance. We show that the weight distribution asymptotically approaches that of random coding as the code length increases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
