    摘要: It is disclosed an optical coherent receiver comprising a number of decoding blocks configured to implement iterations of a FEC iterative message-passing decoding algorithm. The decoding blocks are distributed into two (or more) parallel chains of cascaded decoding blocks. The receiver also comprises an intermediate circuit interposed between the two parallel chains. The optical coherent receiver is switchable between (i) a first operating mode, in which the intermediate circuit is inactive and the two parallel chains separately implement the FEC message-passing decoding algorithm on respective client channels; and (ii) a second operating mode, in which the intermediate circuit is active and the two parallel chains jointly implement the FEC message-passing decoding algorithm on a same client channel, by cooperating through the intermediate circuit.

    摘要: Proposed is a method of decoding a differentially encoded PSK modulated optical data signal carrying FEC encoded data values. The optical signal is corrected by an estimated phase offset. From the corrected signal, respective likelihood values for the FEC encoded data values are derived, using an estimation algorithm which accounts for a differential encoding rule used for differentially encoding the optical signal. The derived likelihood values are limited to a predetermined range of values. From the limited likelihood values, FEC decoded data values are derived, using an algorithm which accounts for a FEC encoding rule used for FEC encoding the FEC encoded data values.
