We also study how the sliced spectrum of LED can be used as a costeffective light source in ZCC code. Our system requires only standard optical elements and simple direct-detection receivers. We show that for number of weight = 4, up to 100 users can transmit asynchronously with an average bit error rate equal to 10-9. This ZCC code also demonstrates that BER of 10-9 can be achieved within the minimum received power of -25.5 dBm. © 2010 IEEE. %Z cited By 16; Conference of 7th International Symposium on High-Capacity Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies, HONET 2010 ; Conference Date: 19 December 2010 Through 21 December 2010; Conference Code:84194
