Abstract: A first coherent transceiver for a CPON includes a MAC layer for enabling dual-mode operation of the first coherent transceiver, a software management and control module for communicating with a second transceiver over an ODN communication channel, a coherent DSP in communication with the software management and control module and configured to process a digital signal from the MAC layer, and an optics infrastructure configured to transmit and receive analog data signals over the ODN to and from the second transceiver, respectively. The analog data signals include a communication subcarrier and a data subcarrier. The digital data signal includes a first data portion with control information from the communication subcarrier, and a second data portion with primary information from the data subcarrier. The coherent DSP further dynamically reconfigures digital data signal processing between first and second operational modes based on a transport type of the data channel subcarrier.

Abstract: An optical network communication system utilizes a CPON. The system includes an OLT and an ONU. The OLT includes an OLT transmitter for transmitting a downstream signal, and an OLT receiver for detecting an upstream signal. The downstream signal includes a first tone centered at a first frequency, a second tone centered at a second frequency, and first and second downstream subcarriers distributed proximate the first frequency. The upstream optical signal includes first and second upstream subcarriers distributed proximate the second frequency. The ONU includes an ONU receiver for detecting the first and second downstream subcarriers using the first optical tone to generate an LO signal for coherent detection, and an ONU transmitter configured to generate the first and second upstream subcarriers using the second optical tone. The first and second tones, downstream subcarriers, and upstream subcarriers do not overlap in the frequency domain

Abstract: Adaptive modulation coding schemes improve spectral efficiency of telecommunication networks by implementing MCSs specific to each of a plurality of end devices in operable communication with a hub. For example, the MCSs may be specific to a channel, a wavelength, a distance, or capabilities of an end device. The MCSs are selected to include the highest modulation format and highest forward error correction coding rate that can be applied to a telecommunication signal without surpassing a signal parameter threshold.

Abstract: An echo cancellation method includes steps of (a) extracting phase-distortion estimates, (b) reconstructing an echo signal, (c) generating a clean signal, and (d) producing a primary signal. Step (a) includes extracting, from a first phase signal, a plurality of phase-distortion estimates, the first phase signal having been estimated from an echo-corrupted signal received at a first coherent transceiver of a coherent optical network. Step (b) includes reconstructing an echo signal from the plurality of phase-distortion estimates and a transmitted signal transmitted by the first coherent transceiver. Step (c) includes generating a clean signal as a difference between the reconstructed echo signal and the first phase signal. Step (d) includes producing a primary signal by mapping each of a plurality of clean-phase estimates of the clean signal to one of a plurality of constellation symbols associated with a modulation scheme of the primary signal.
