    摘要: A communication system includes a transmitter having an encoder configured to encode input data using FEC codewords and a receiver including a decoder configured to decode the FEC codewords using a parity check matrix. The decoder includes check node processing units each configured to perform a check node computation on an FEC codeword using a different row of the parity check matrix. Each of the check node processing units includes an input computation stage configured to compute initial computation values, a pipelined message memory configured to shift the initial computation values at a predefined clock interval, an output computation stage configured to generate a plurality of check node output messages, a plurality of variable node processing units each configured to perform variable node update computations to generate the variable node messages, and an output circuit configured to generate a decoded codeword based on the variable node messages.

    摘要: A method and structure for equalization in coherent optical receivers. Block-based LMS (BLMS) algorithm is one of the many efficient adaptive equalization algorithms used to (i) increase convergence speed and (ii) reduce implementation complexity. Since the computation of the equalizer output and the gradient of the error are obtained using a linear convolution, BLMS can be efficiently implemented in the frequency domain with the constrained frequency-domain BLMS (FBLMS) adaptive algorithm. The present invention introduces a novel reduced complexity constrained FBLMS algorithm. This new approach replaces the two discrete Fourier transform (DFT) stages required to evaluate the DFT of the gradient error, by a simple frequency domain filtering. Implementation complexity can be drastically reduced in comparison to the standard constrained FBLMS. Furthermore, the new approach achieves better performance than that obtained with the unconstrained FBLMS in ultra-high speed coherent optical receivers.
