As a example by business clock frequency 500Mhz, a complete fec frame are as 8000bit, then a business
Clock cycle is 2ns, and the bit wide of input interface is the 200bit (transfer rate due to 100G optical communication system
For 100Gbps, so each business clock periodic transfer 200bit).In 100G optical communication system, preferably
N=4, will be decomposed into 4 subframes by a fec frame, and the frame length of each subframe is 2000bit.
What the receiving terminal of S1,100G optical communication system was lasting receives complete fec frame successively, can be denoted as
Fec frame A, fec frame B, fec frame C ... wait multiple fec frame, and are transmitted to FEC decoder and enter
Row soft-decision FEC decodes.

3 carry out soft-decision FEC decoding processes;
Second business clock cycle, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 4 are entered by FEC decoder
Row soft-decision FEC decoding processes;
The 3rd business clock cycle, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 4, subframe 5 are entered by FEC decoder
Row soft-decision FEC decoding processes, the like.

Multiple FEC decoders of series connection, can effectively increase the iterations of FEC decoding.Such as, if had
N number of FEC decoder, then can realize the N × 4 time iterative decoding to each subframe, it is possible to carry greatly
High error correcting capability.
Meanwhile, according to said method, FEC decoder is complete to 4 subframes (i.e. one complete fec frame)
The time once decoded is become to be 10 business clock cycles to the maximum (because a subframe is 2000bit, FEC
The bit wide of decoder is 200bit).If using the FEC interpretation method of prior art, FEC decoder receives
One complete fec frame needs 10 × 4 business clock cycles, i.e. FEC decoder needs 40 industry
The decoding of the successive ignition to fec frame is completed in the business clock cycle.If prior art is 10 business clock weeks
Complete once to decode to fec frame in phase, then within 40 business clock cycles, fec frame can only be completed 4
Secondary iterative decoding, and the error correcting capability after 4 iterative decodings does not reaches far away the requirement of most of communication system.
So, prior art needs to improve the disposal ability of computing circuit in FEC decoder, fec frame is carried out
Parallel processing, to improve the iterations of FEC decoding.So, FEC is translated by the method that the present embodiment provides
