Abstract
In this work, we study the performance analysis of underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) transmission link by incorporating optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) using pulse position modulation (PPM) to enhance the channel range and cardinality. Bit error rate (BER) variations are examined versus the range, modulation type (on–off keying (OOK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), etc.), number of users as well as the channel attenuation caused by different water types. The power and transmitter inclination angle limitation, of the enhanced system, are also presented in order to determine the threshold for which the minimum BER 10−9 is achievable.
