    Abstract: It is possible to perform ISI estimation for quasi-static band-limited communication channels using a minimal number of discontinuous pilots communicated across different time intervals. In one example, at least two frames are received in different time intervals, and noise vectors are extracted from pilots carried in the respective frames. Spectral estimation is performed on the noise vectors, collectively, to obtain a set of tap coefficients, which are then used to perform ISI equalization on at least one of the frames. In this way, ISI equalization is performed on a frame communicated in one time interval using at least some pilots communicated in another time interval. Using discontinuous pilots to perform channel estimation may enable lower pilot densities in next-generation communication systems.

    Abstract: Quasi-reduced state trellis equalization techniques achieve low-latency inter-symbol interference (ISI) equalization by selecting a subset of accumulated path metrics (APMs) for a leading symbol to propagate over a trellis to candidate states of a trailing symbol. This simplifies the computation of APMs for candidate states of the trailing symbol. Thereafter, APMs for candidate states of the trailing symbol are computed based on the subset of APMs for the leading symbol that were propagated over the trellis. Propagating fewer than all APMs for the leading symbol to the trailing symbol reduces the complexity of APM computation at the trailing symbol.

    Abstract: The disclosed structures and methods are directed to a method for compensation of linear and nonlinear effects in optical fiber of a coherent optical signal transmitted through an optical link. The method comprises receiving a coherent optical signal having carriers; determining values of intensity vectors for each carrier; determining values of filtered intensity vectors for each carrier by filtering the values of the intensity vectors at frequencies lower than a cut-off frequency of a filter; determining nonlinear compensation coefficients for each carrier based on the filtered intensity vectors; and modifying the digital coherent optical signal based on the nonlinear compensation coefficients.

    Abstract: An optical channel between a coherent optical transmitter and a coherent optical receiver may include one or more components that act as a bandpass filter with a passband that is narrower than the signal bandwidth. Such a narrow filter may significantly attenuate the signal content close to the band edge of the data signal. As a result, timing error detection may work less effectively, and therefore clock recovery may be less effective or fail. Methods and systems are disclosed in which a single optical carrier is used to transmit a data signal that has multiple bands, and timing error detection is performed at the receiver using one or more inner bands of the multiple bands. The timing error detection may therefore be made more robust to the effects of the narrow filtering.

    Abstract: Embodiment reduced-state trellis equalization techniques compute accumulated path metrics (APMs) for a subset of candidate states for at least some stages in the trellis based on a neighborhood map of an ML state. This reduces the number of APMs that are computed and stored during trellis equalization. Other embodiments select a subset of candidate states for which APMs are transported to the next stage of the trellis based on the neighborhood map. This eliminates the need to sort the remaining APMs during reduced state trellis equalization. The neighborhood map identifies a subset of the highest probability neighbors for an ML state. The subset of candidate states identified as highest probability neighbors may be saved in a look-up table. The look-up table may be generated offline and/or generated/updated dynamically during run-time operation.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed in part to a receiver DSP unit including an equalization module. The equalization module includes a trellis-based equalization module that may utilize multiple trellis-based processors (TBP), which can each be individually adaptively configured for performing a trellis-based equalization. The design of the TBPs allows them to be configured for compensating a residual Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) as well as compensating a residual Phase Noise (PN). ISI is an example of an additive impairment and PN is an example of a multiplicative impairment that communication systems, particularly high speed transmission systems such as coherent optical systems, can suffer from.
