Quadratic congruence code (QCC)-based frequency-hopping and time-spreading (FH/TS) optical orthogonal codes (OOCs), and the corresponding expanded cardinality were recently studied to improve data throughput and code capacity. In this paper, we propose a new FH/TS two-dimensional (2-D) code using the QCC and the cubic congruence code (CCC), named as the QCC/CCC 2-D code. Additionally the expanded CCC-based 2D codes are also considered. In contrast to the conventional QCC-based 1-D and QCC-based FH/TS 2-D optical codes, our analysis indicates that the code capacity of the CCC-based 1-D and CCC-based FH/TS 2-D codes can be improved with the same code weight and length, respectively.

Future optical code division multiple access (CDMA) networks should be designed for multirate and fully integrated multimedia services. In the conventional schemes, multilength optical orthogonal codes (OOCs) are designed to support multirate systems, while variable-weight OOCs are designed to support differentiated quality of service (QoS) for multimedia applications. In this paper, a novel class of optical signature codes; multiple-length variable-weight optical orthogonal codes (MLVW-OOC) is proposed for supporting multirate and integrated multimedia services in optical CDMA networks. The proposed MLVW-OOC has features that are easy to construct variable-weight codes and expanded to multiple-length codes. A construction method for designing MLVW-OOCs up to three levels of codes is discussed. The designed MLVW-OOCs can support differentiated requirements on data rates and QoS for several types of services in the networks. A code analysis for obtaining the value of cross-correlation constraints or multiple access interference (MAI) computation for several levels of codes is also suggested. The cross-correlation constraints of the proposed codes are better than the conventional codes such as multilength OOCs. Finally, the bit error probability performance of the two-level MLVW-OOC is evaluated analytically. The results show that the proposed MLVW-OOC can provide differentiated bit error probability performances for several combinations of data rates and QoS.
