Fiber-optic CDMA is an emerging technology with far more advantages than the conventional TDMA and FDMA techniques. The only limitation of FO-CDMA is the multiple access interference among the users simultaneously accessing the network. This paper reviews the techniques proposed in the literature for the reduction of multiple access interference (MAI) between the users simultaneously accessing ...

Spread spectrum communications were originally developed for military purposes to capitilize on their desirable antijam (AJ) and low probability of intercept (LPI) properties. Since 1980s and early 1990s, though, application of the same in civilian communications has been worked upon. CDMA, based on spread spectrum communications technology, has been recognized as a viable alternative to FDMA a...

We study the minimum number of interrupts in an optimal time-slot assignment of a time-division multiple-access (fDMA) system. If the number of channels c in the TDMA system equals 2, then there always exists an optimal assignment with at most one interrupt. If c ~ 3, then there exist TDMA systems for which each optimal assignment requires at least (c-l)(c 2) interrupts.

The OFDM-based MC-CDMA/FDMA transmission scheme is candidate for the air-interface of beyond 3G mobile communications. An efficient adaptive subband allocation (ASBA) approach has been recently shown to provide a considerable gain in the uncoded system performance. In this paper, adaptive coding is proposed for application in conjunction with ASBA. This is proved to yield a significant performa...
