In PPM, a periodic time frame is established and data is transmitted by placing a pulse in any one of several subintervals (or \"slots\") within each frame. In PPM/O-CDMA all users use the same frame structure and each transmits its unique address code in place of the PPM pulse. The advantage of PPM as a pulsed signal format is that 1) a single pulse can transmit multiple bits during each frame; 2) decoding (determining which subinterval contains the pulse) is by comparison rather than threshold tests (as in on-off-keying); 3) each user transmits in only a small fraction of the frame, hence the multi-access interference (MAI) of any user statistically spreads over the entire frame time, reducing the chance of overlap with any other user; and 4) under an average power constraint, increasing frame time increases the peak pulse power (i.e., PPM trades average power for peak power)","PeriodicalId":175517,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference Avionics Fiber-Optics and Photonics, 2006.","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115319711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
