    摘要: An optical signal modulated with a stream of symbols comprising a sequence of training symbols is received at a receiver. First equalizer circuitry calculates and applies first coefficients to digital signals representative of the optical signal, thereby resulting in first compensated signals. Second equalizer circuitry calculates second coefficients based on a correlation between the first compensated signals and digital signals representative of the sequence of training symbols and applies the second coefficients to the first compensated signals, thereby resulting in second compensated signals. Third equalizer circuitry calculates and applies third coefficients to the second compensated signals, thereby resulting in third compensated signals. The first, second, and third coefficients compensate for impairments in the optical signal varying at respective first, second, and third rates, where the third rate is higher than the first rate and lower than the second rate.

    摘要: A receiver is configured to detect, at a communication interface, a received signal that suffers from degradations incurred over a communication channel. The receiver applies an adaptive filter to a series of received blocks of a digital representation of the received signal, thereby generating respective filtered blocks, where each received block represents 2N frequency bins, and where N is a positive integer. The receiver calculates coefficients for use by the adaptive filter on a jth received block as a function of (i) error estimates associated with an (j−D−1)th filtered block, where D is a positive integer representing a number of blocks, and where j is a positive integer greater than (D−1); and (ii) an inverse of an approximate covariance matrix associated with the (j−D−1)th received block, where the approximate covariance matrix is a diagonal matrix of size L×L, and where L is a positive integer lower than 2N.

    摘要: A method performed at an electronic device comprises receiving information bits, a first nub, and a second nub, each nub comprising redundant values; calculating first calculated determiners from first subsets of the information bits along a first dimension; calculating first corrected determiners by applying first FEC decoding to a combination of the first calculated determiners and the first nub; correcting at least one error in the information bits using a difference between the first corrected determiners and the first calculated determiners; calculating second calculated determiners from second subsets of the information bits along a second dimension that differs from the first dimension; calculating second corrected determiners by applying second FEC decoding to a combination of the second calculated determiners and the second nub; and correcting at least one additional error in the information bits using a difference between the second corrected determiners and the second calculated determiners.

    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 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: 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.
