The decoder further comprises a stack reordering activation monitoring unit (313) configured to monitor at least one stack reordering activation condition and, in response to a stack reordering activation condition being verified, to cause the symbol estimation unit to: reduce the metric associated with each node stored in the stack by a quantity, reorder the stack by increasing value of the reduced metric, and remove a set of nodes from the reordered stack so as to maintain a number N of nodes in the reordered stack, the maintained nodes corresponding to the N nodes having the lowest metrics in the reordered stack.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for transmission over optical fiber (130) with mode or core scrambling. The system comprises a spatio-temporal encoder (110) and a plurality of modulators (1251, . . . , 125n) associated, respectively, with separate propagation modes or cores of said fiber, each modulator modulating a laser beam. Said fiber comprises a plurality of slices (1301, . . . , 130L), an amplifier (140l) being provided between any two consecutive slices of the optical fiber. A mode scrambler (150l) is associated with each amplifier in order to perform a permutation of said modes between at least two consecutive slices.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a MAP decoding method of a signal received through a noisy channel, the signal being composed of symbols in an alphabet having a non-uniform probability distribution, the symbols being represented by points in a lattice (Λ). The probability distribution of symbols is modeled using a Gaussian distribution. An augmented lattice (Λexp) is formed from the lattice (Λ) and the ratio (β) between variance of the noise and variance of the Gaussian distribution of symbols. Therefore, the disclosed MAP decoding method consists essentially of decoding using an ML criterion searching the point in the augmented lattice closest to the point representative of the received signal (yexp).
