Book description
This book focuses heavily on the
principles, analysis and applications of code-division
multiple-access (CDMA) techniques in optical communication systems and networks.
In this book, the authors intimately discuss modern optical networks
and their applications in current and emerging communication
technologies, evaluating the quality, speed and number of supported
services. In particular, principles and fundamentals of optical CDMA
techniques from beginner to advanced levels are heavily covered.
Furthermore, the authors concentrate on methods and techniques of
various encoding and decoding schemes and their structures, as well as
analysis of optical CDMA systems with various transceiver models
including advanced multi-level incoherent and coherent modulations
with the architecture of access/aggregation networks in mind.
Moreover, authors examine intriguing topics of optical CDMA
networking, compatibility with IP networks, and implementation of
optical multi-rate multi-service CDMA networks.
Key features:
- Expanded coverage of optical CDMA networks, starts from
principles and fundamentals
- Comprehensive mathematical modelling and analysis from signal to
system levels
- Addresses the applications of modern optical networking in the
current and emerging communication technologies
- Greater focus on advanced optical multi-level incoherent and
coherent modulations, spreading codes, and transceiver designs
- Detailed hardware specifications, system-level block diagrams,
and network nodes' functionalities
This book appeals to researchers, practicing engineers, and advanced
students. It is a practical resource for readers with an interest in
optical communications and networks.
