Performance Analysis of Underwater Hybrid Prime Code and Manchester Encoding FSO-CDMA System Based on Multiple-Access Interference Cancellation Receiver

This paper proposes an underwater free-space optical code division multiple-access (FSO-CDMA) communication system that integrates differential pulse position modulation (DPPM) with a developed hybrid prime code (HPC) and Manchester encoding, alongside a multiple-access interference cancellation (MAIC) receiver. The system is designed to address the challenges posed by underwater turbulence, absorption, and scattering. A 1-watt laser source operating at a wavelength of 455 nm is utilized to mitigate these effects, thereby reducing link absorption, scattering, and attenuation. The MAIC receiver is employed to minimize noise and interference, significantly enhancing the system’s bit-error rate (BER) performance under turbulent conditions. The paper details the construction and correlation analysis of the HPC, and investigates both instantaneous and average BER performance based on the proposed modulation-coding technique and MAIC receiver. Results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves a 438 m link distance with an 8.33 Gbps data rate and 1.33 Tbps × user network throughput over a 184,900 m2 coverage area, maintaining a BER of 10−9.
