We propose a low cost polymeric optical waveguides-based optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules. The structures of the optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules are presented. The performance of the optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules is simulated using 10-chip binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) coding schemes. The optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules can effectively transmit and recove...

In this contribution, we consider the effect of a carrier frequency offset on the performance of MC-CDMA and MC-DS-CDMA, which are both a combination of the multicarrier transmission technique and the CDMA multiple access technique. We show that both systems strongly degrade in the presence of a carrier frequency offset. Furthermore, we show that, for given spreading factor, the MC-DS-CDMA syst...

Abstract Filterbank multicarrier (FBMC) is an effective method for modulation over massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels in the future fifth generation wireless networks. This technique provides high spectral efficiency, and it resilient against synchronization errors compared to well-known orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique. paper introduces a new technique, ...

This work is aimed at investigating the use of neural network-based adaptive receivers for synchronous variable bit-rate Multi-Carrier CDMA systems transmitting over low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite channels. It is known by literature that MC-CDMA techniques are much more resilient with respect to multi-user interference effects in multipath fading channels than single-carrier DS/CDMA ones. More...

Due to the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel, media access control (MAC) protocols designed for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) are quite different from those for terrestrial wireless sensor networks. Moreover, in a sink-oriented network with event information generation in a sensor field and message forwarding to the sink hop-by-hop, the sensors near the sink have to ...

The overloaded CDMA schemes exploited in direct sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) systems are mainly to accommodate a greater number of users than the available spreading factor N . In this paper, a superposition coding CDMA (SPC-CDMA) with unequal error protection (UEP) is proposed as one of the overloaded CDMA schemes for the next generation mobile communication systems. It exploits the available power...

__________ Many mobile satellite systems have been proposed to employ Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technique at L/S band. These bands have been allocated to the mobile satellite services on a primary basis since 1992, in addition to the existing services. Therefore, the mobile satellite services will be subject to share spectrum with each other and with existing services. This paper dis...
