    摘要: A method of transmitting a data signal using an optical transmitter of an optical communications system. The optical transmitter is configured to modulate an optical carrier in successive signalling intervals to generate an optical signal. A modulation scheme is provided which comprises a multi-dimensional symbol constellation. The modulation scheme is designed such that an average degree of polarization of a modulated optical signal output from the optical transmitter has a first value when averaged across a first signaling interval, and has a second value when averaged across more than one and fewer than 100 signaling intervals. The second value is less than 10 percent of the first value. During run-time, an encoder of the optical transmitter encoding a data signal to be transmitted as symbols of the constellation, and a modulator of the optical transmitter modulating available dimensions of the optical carrier in accordance with the symbols.

    摘要: In a coherent receiver of an optical communication system, a method of processing a detected symbol estimate to determine a most likely value of a corresponding transmitted data word, the transmitted data word comprising one or more data bits encoded in a transmitter using a predetermined constellation of at least two symbols. A set of two or more virtual constellation points are define in a decision region corresponding to a possible value of the data word. The detected symbol estimate is processed to find a most likely virtual constellation point given the detected symbol estimate. The most likely value of the corresponding transmitted data word is determined based on the most likely virtual constellation point.

    摘要: A receiver apparatus comprises circuitry configured for storing a first sequence of values. At the receiver apparatus, a communications signal is received which conveys a second sequence of values, the second sequence of values being related to the first sequence of values. According to some examples, the second sequence of values is identical to the first sequence of values. At the receiver apparatus, P results are calculated from a cross-correlation of the first sequence of values with at least a portion of a representation of the communications signal, where P is a positive integer. According to some examples, P≥2. An estimate of a phase offset of a continuous clock is calculated as a function of the P results. According to some examples, the function is a non-linear function. The estimate of the clock phase offset may be used to achieve clock recovery at the receiver apparatus.

    摘要: A receiver applies first processing to a digital representation of a received signal to generate a first processed signal having first additive noise and first linear inter-symbol interference (ISI), the first processing comprising a substantially linear operation designed to substantially minimize a sum of variances of the first additive noise and the first linear ISI. The receiver applies second processing to the first processed signal to generate a second processed signal having second additive noise and second linear ISI, the second processing comprising a substantially nonlinear operation designed (i) to make a variance of the second additive noise substantially lower than the variance of the first additive noise, and (ii) to make a sum of the variance of the second additive noise and a variance of the second linear ISI substantially lower than the sum of the variances of the first additive noise and first linear ISI.

    摘要: A method of recovering a value of a symbol received through an optical communications system. A multi-bit estimate of the symbol is subdivided into a first part and a second part, each part including at least one respective bit of the estimate. A most likely value of the first part is detected. The most likely value of the first part is processed using a Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoder to generate a corrected first part value, which is used to detect a most likely value of the second part. The most likely value of the second part is then processed by the FEC decoder to generate a corrected second part, which is combined with the corrected first part to recover the value of the symbol.

    摘要: Client data bits, including first client data bits and second client data bits, are communicated from a transmitter to a receiver. At the transmitter, the first client data bits are processed to generate processed values, where each processed value is more likely to be a first element than a second element. Forward Error Correction ‘FEC’ encoding is applied to the second client data bits to generate FEC-encoded values. Symbols are created by mapping the FEC-encoded values to first positions in the symbols and by mapping the processed values to second positions in the symbols. The symbols are modulated onto a communications channel using a modulation scheme with a code that assigns a lower average energy to symbols containing the first elements in the second positions than to symbols containing the second elements in the second positions. At the receiver, client data bits are decoded using conditional chain decoding.
