The present invention relates generally to an optical CDMA transmission system and method employing differential optical encoding and bipolar decoding. Differential encoding and bipolar decoding may be performed at the bit level, wherein differential phase encoding and decoding occurs on an entire composite signal. Differential encoding and bipolar decoding may also be performed at the chip level, wherein differential phase encoding and decoding occurs on individual spectral components of a given signal.

The invention is directed to code labeling in an optical network. The network includes a transmitting station operable to transmit an optical signal. The network also includes an encoder coupled to the transmitting station operable to label the optical signal composed of a group of codes. A receiving station operable to receive the labeled group of optical codes is also provided. The receiving station is operable to read the optical signal if the label of the received group of codes corresponds to the group of codes assigned to the receiving station.

An optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system includes an optical transmitter system configured to transmit data from a plurality of users through a shared optical channel by encoding the data from each user with a spreading code assigned to that user. Each spreading code includes a unique sequence of T time chips along a time axis. The data from each user is representable by T symbols. The OCDMA system further includes an optical receiver system configured to demodulate the data from each user by correlating signals received from the transmitter system with the spreading code assigned to that user. When transmitting a data symbol for each user, the transmitter system selects one out of T distinct cyclic shifts of the spreading code assigned to that user, and transmits the selected cyclic shift of the assigned spreading code along the time axis.

A system for bidirectional communication of digital data between a central unit and a remote unit wherein the need for tracking loops in the central unit has been eliminated. The central unit transmitter generates a master carrier and a master clock signal which are used to transmit downstream data to the remote units. The remote units recover the master carrier and master clock and synchronize local oscillators in each remote unit to these master carrier and master clock signals to generate reference carrier and clock signals for use by the remote unit receiver. These reference carrier and clock signals are also used by the remote unit transmitters to transmit upstream data to the central unit. The central unit receiver detects the phase difference between the reference carrier and clock signals from the remote units periodically and adjusts the phase of the master carrier and master clock signals for use by the central unit receiver to receive the upstream data.

A system (101-139) receives a transmitted optical signal and generates an orthogonal despreading code that is different than the code used to spread the transmitted signal. The system (101-139) then despreads the received signal using the despreading code. By using a code to despread the received signal that is different than the code used to spread the signal, the overall interference in the system can be reduced and even eliminated.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for carrying out synchronous co-division multiple access (SCDMA,) communication of multiple channels of digital data over a shared transmission media such as a cable television system coaxial cable, a fiber optic or copper conductor telephone link, terrestial microwave, satellite link, local or wide area network, wireless including cellur network or some combination of these media using suitable interface circuitry. The system includes modems at remote units and a central unit to receive time division multiplexed digital data arranged into timeslots or channels and uses orthogonal codes to encode each channel of multiple data and spread the energy of each channel data over a frame of data transmitted in the code domain. Spreading the data this way makes the system less susceptible to impulse noise. Frames are synchronized as between remote and central units using a ranging scheme which is also useful in any other system transmitting data by frames in a distributed system where synchronizing the frames as between all units regardless of differences in propagation delays is necessary. Each frame in the SCDMA modulation scheme includes a gap or guardband containing no other data. The ranging process involves training each remote unit to impose enough delay prior to re-transmission of a barker code received from the CU such that a barker code sent by the RU arrives at the CU during the gap. The process of setting the delay in each RU is a trial and error process, and each RU starts the ranging process asynchronously. Contention resolution protocols such that only one RU is aligning to the gap at any particular time are taught.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for carrying an ATM communication protocol on a hybrid fiber coax CATV system. Point to point communication is supported by use of synchronous code division multiplexing on the physical and by assigning on the MAC layer one or more orthogonal SCDMA codes exclusively for use by pairs of devices needing to communicate such the head end and any customer premises equipment. Quality of service or guaranteed bandwidth availability is implemented by controlling the code space at the MAC layer such that certain CPEs having in use peripherals which cannot tolerate interruptions in data flow may reserve one or more SCDMA codes for use exclusively by them. Standard ATM cells are modified by the addition of a two byte virtual link header which identifies to which CPE a particular ATM packet is destined. This virtual header also makes possible broadcast and multicast of packets from the head end to all CPEs. Each byte in each ATM cell has 8 bits of data and a 9th bit which is encoded with to indicate where the ATM cell starts and includes CRC data for error detection and correction. Bandwidth is allocated by the head end computer which executes algorithms on the MAC layer to collect actual bandwidth usage information and requests for bandwidth and prioritize them in accordance with the channel allocation/reservation scheme currently use. The channel allocation/reservation scheme can be changed on the fly and reallocation calculations to adjust bandwidth allocations are calculated every 10 milliseconds and the new allocations are distributed in downstream messages which are transmitted to all CPEs.
