To support this effort, the paper proposes a new type of a variable weight code called multiweight zero cross-correlation (MW-ZCC) code for its application in wireless optical networks based optical code division multiple access (WON-OCDMA). The code provides improved quality of service (QoS) and better support for simultaneous transmission of video surveillance, comms and sensor data by reducing the impact of multiple access interference (MAI). The MW-ZCC code\u2019s power of two code-weight properties provide enhanced support for the needed service differentiation provisioning. The performance of this novel code has been studied by simulations. This investigation revealed that for a minimum allowable bit error rate of 10\u22123, 10\u22129 and 10\u221212 when supporting triple-play services (sensing, datacomms and video surveillance, respectively), the proposed WON-OCDMA using MW-ZCC codes could support up to 32 simultaneous services over transmission distances up to 32 km in the presence of moderate atmospheric turbulence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21020539","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]],"date-time":"2021-01-13T21:50:54Z","timestamp":1610574654000},"page":"539","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["WON-OCDMA System Based on MW-ZCC Codes for Applications in Optical Wireless Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6017-289X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh","family":"Seyedzadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow G1 1XQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8598-9492","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Agapiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow G1 1XQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4934-3149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majid","family":"Moghaddasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TBA Group, 2623 AP Delft, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2112-5174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milan","family":"Dado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, University of \u017dilina, 010 26 \u017dilina, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3176-8069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan","family":"Glesk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow G1 1XQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Majumder, M., Gangopadhyay, T.K., Chakraborty, A.K., Dasgupta, K., and Bhattacharya, D.K.
