摘要:
A method protects data transmission from failures, wherein the data transmissions are from a source to a destination in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, and the data transmissions are via a labeled-switch path (LSP) with segment protection in protection domains. A maximum recovery time for each protection domain is constrained, and for each protection domain, one or more backup tunnels are determined. A graph of nodes of the LSP and the backup tunnels is constructed, wherein edges in the graph represent the links between the nodes. A weight is assigned to each edge to produce a weighted graph. Based on the weighted graph, a path from the source to the destination that satisfies a reliability constraint with a minimum cost is determined by using an optimal combination of segment protections and a reliability-guaranteed least-cost

Soft decision decoding of a codeword of a Reed-Muller (RM) code by selecting an optimal decomposition variable i using a likelihood calculation. A code RM(r, m) is expressed as {(u, uv)|uεRM(r, m−1) and vεRM(r−1, m−1)}, where uv denotes a component-wise multiplication of u and v, and (u, uv)=(r1, r2). A receive codeword is separated into r1=u and r2=uv based on the optimal decomposition variable, and r2 is decoded according to the optimal decomposition variable, using a RM(r−1, m−1) decoder to obtain a decoded v and a first set of decoded bits. The decoded v is combined with r1 using (r1+r2v)/2, and (r1+r2v)/2 is decoded using a RM(r, m−1) decoder to obtain a decoded u and a second set of decoded bits.

An optical network includes multiple source, cross connect, and destination nodes. A traffic demand matrix is constructed for each possible pair of combinations of the source nodes and the destination nodes. A first energy reduction metric is determined for creating the bypass between the source node and any XC node based on the traffic demand matrix, and a second energy reduction metric is determined for creating the bypass between any XC node and the destination node using the traffic demand matrix. Then, a bypass that terminates at one of the XC nodes that has a largest energy reduction metric is created.

Optical dispersion imposed on a communications signal conveyed through an optical communications system is compensated by modulating the communications signal in the electrical domain. A compensation function is determined that substantially mitigates the chromatic dispersion. The communications signal is then modulated in the electrical domain using the compensation function. Electrical domain compensation can be implemented in either the transmitter or the receiver end of the communications system. In preferred embodiments, compensation is implemented in the transmitter, using a look-up-table and digital-to-analog converter to generate an electrical predistorted signal. The electrical predistorted signal is then used to modulate an optical source to generate a corresponding predistorted optical signal for transmission through the optical communications system.

A method and an optical receiver compensates for an error in a phase of an optical signal in a receiver. The signal includes blocks of symbols in a sequence. Each block is decoded based on a partially phase compensated symbols, and an average phase error for the block is estimated. Forward phase compensation and backward phase compensation is performed on the block based on the average phase error, and the decoding, estimating, performing is iterated until a termination condition is satisfied to produce a phase compensated block.

摘要:
A method equalizes and decodes a received signal including a sequence of symbols. Subsequences of the signal are selected, wherein the subsequences are overlapping and time shifted. For each subsequence, statistics of the channel corresponding to a pattern in the subsequence are selected, wherein the statistics include high-order statistics. A transmitted signal corresponding to the received signal is then estimated based on the statistics.

For coherent fiber optic communications, the nonlinear XPolM impairment is the most important issue to realize over-100 Gbps high-speed transmissions. A method provides a way to cancel time-varying XPolM crosstalk by introducing multi-stage adaptive mechanism. In the method, a low-complexity adaptive filtering based on recursive least-squares (RLS) first tracks the time-varying crosstalk along with the per-survivor trellis-state decoding. The estimated channel and the decoded data are then used to calculate the empirical covariance, which is in turn exploited to obtain more accurate channel estimates by means of optimal-weighted least-squares. This is performed with a low-complexity processing over frequency domain with fast Fourier transform. The performance is significantly improved with turbo principle decoding, more specifically, iterative decoding and iterative estimation over a block.
摘要:
A method reduces time-varying polarization crosstalk due to XPolM by transmitting multi-dimensional orthogonal constellations. Three variants of crosstalk-free constellations are provided: Grassmann constellations, unitary constellations, and rotation codes. The method uses the Grassmann constellations and the unitary constellations to deal with fiber nonlinearity by applying as a polarization-time coding. The rotation codes exploit a fiber channel characteristic to improve performance and to reduce computational complexity. The underlying orthogonality behind those constellations enables the receiver to decode it as if there is no polarization crosstalk. Moreover, the required computational complexity at the receiver is significantly reduced because neither crosstalk cancellers nor channel estimators are needed.
