Abstract: A soft-decision forward error correction scheme for received optical signals is described. Differential decoding may be performed, for example, in each polarization after coherent QPSK detection. Hard decisions may be made based on judging the most likely transition between each pair of received input symbols. Soft-input generation is also described, representing the reliability of the hard decisions. The soft-input information may be generated through simplified algorithms that utilize the most likely transitions to determine a reliability assignment.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method performed by a policy and charging rules node for managing usage of a subscriber. The method may include: defining a primary metering policy having a first applicability condition and a first quota; defining a secondary metering policy having attributes including a second applicability condition and at least one inherited attribute that references an attribute of the primary metering policy; determining that the second metering policy is applicable when the first applicability condition and the second applicability condition are true; selecting the secondary metering policy as an active metering policy; and managing subscriber usage according to the attributes of the secondary metering policy. In various alternative embodiments, the step of managing subscriber usage includes: measuring subscriber usage according to a rating factor of the secondary metering policy; and charging the measured subscriber usage to both the primary metering policy and the secondary metering policy.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for formatting of data streams to be transmitted over fiber optic channels, and for processing received optical signals. A data transmission device may include a digital coding and modulation module that encodes a digital data stream, inserts unique words into the digital data stream, and modulates the encoded data stream and unique words onto optical channels for transmission over an optical fiber. A demodulation and decoding device may include a unique word identification module that identifies the unique words inserted in each optical channel stream, determines one or more characteristics of the plurality of optical channels based on the unique words, and provides the one or more characteristics to one or more other modules in the demodulator and decoding device.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein using a pre-interleaving process to be performed at the transmitter. Data is rearranged at the transmitter, and the rearranged data is transmitted over the communication channel in an order that is more suitable for parallel processing at the decoder. Because processing at the transmitter is bit-wise rather than the multi-bit, soft-decision information at the decoder, pre-interleaving may reduce use system resources when compared to a re-interleaving process at the decoder.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了使用在发送器执行的预交错处理的系统，设备和方法。 在发射机处重新布置数据，并且重新排列的数据以更适合于解码器并行处理的顺序在通信信道上发送。 因为在发射机处的处理是比特而不是解码器处的多位软判决信息，所以与解码器上的重新交织过程相比，预交错可以减少使用系统资源。

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for allowing a single platform to recognize and process both Diameter messages and Radius messages. A gateway is provided for translating Radius messages received from a wireline device into NASReq messages. A Diameter Proxy Agent receives both Diameter messages from a wireless device and the NASReq messages from the gateway. The Diameter Proxy Agent selects a PCRF to which to pass a NASReq message, and upon receipt of a NASReq message the PCRF either creates or updates a NASReq session object. By recognizing and processing Radius messages, wireline services can be offered at the same time as wireless services without requiring the use of a second platform. In addition, use of the PCRF server to support wireline services offers much better scalability than that offered by traditional AAA servers.
