%0 Journal Article %T System Configuration and Error Performance of Spectral Amplitude Coding Labels in Multi-Rate Optical MPLS Network %A Chao Chin Yang %A Chun-Ting Li %A Jen-Fa Huang %A Kai Sheng Chen %J Asian Journal of Computer and Information Systems %D 2017 %X In this paper, we propose a simple scheme for optical multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network to support multi-rate data transmissions. Spectral-amplitude coding (SAC) labels of stuffed quadratic congruence (SQC) codes are used for packet switching without multiple access interference (MAI). System performance is analyzed by taking the effects of phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) and thermal noise into account. We also compare the bit-error rate (BER) of MPLS network with the system where labels of M-sequence codes are employed %K [Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) %K Spectral-Amplitude Coding (SAC) %K Multi-rate data transmissions %K Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD).] %U https://www.ajouronline.com/index.php/AJCIS/article/view/3863
