Description

Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for processing a signal.
background
with the continuous development of communication technology, short-distance optical communication systems have also come into high-speed development. In a short-distance optical communication system, in order to implement high-speed large-capacity transmission, a transmitting end device generally modulates a symbol sequence to be transmitted by using a Direct Detection (DD) technique.
In general, a sending end device in a short-distance optical communication system mainly modulates a symbol sequence to be transmitted by using a PAM4(Four-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation) technique to generate a modulated symbol sequence. After the modulated symbol sequence is subjected to a series of processing such as digital-to-analog conversion, electro-optical signal conversion and the like, the transmitting terminal equipment transmits the processed signal to the opposite terminal equipment. However, the modulated symbol sequence generated by the PAM4 technique has a large bandwidth, so that the signal transmitted by the transmitting end device has poor dispersion resistance when transmitted in a standard single-mode optical fiber channel.
Currently, to reduce the bandwidth of a modulated symbol sequence, a transmitting end device filters the modulated symbol sequence by using an RRC (Root Raised Cosine) filter that carries at least 3 taps to reduce the bandwidth of the modulated symbol sequence. The RRC filter can realize different filtering effects by adjusting the tap coefficients, the more taps the RRC filter carries, the better the filtering effect is, and the smaller the bandwidth of the symbol sequence processed by the RCC filter is. However, as the number of taps increases, the implementation structure of RRC becomes more complex and the cost becomes higher accordingly.

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as the particular system architecture, interfaces, techniques, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known mobile devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
In addition, the term "and/or" herein is only one kind of association relationship describing an associated object, and means that there may be three kinds of relationships, for example, a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.
As shown in fig. 1, in the conventional short-distance optical communication system, the transmitting end device includes a PAM4 sequencer, a DAC (Digital To Analog Converter) and a laser, and the receiving end device includes a PD (Photo Diode), an ADC (Analog To Digital Converter) and a decision equalizer.
The sender device generates a bit sequence { b1, b 2.. bn.. b2n } to be transmitted, where n is a positive integer. The PAM4 sequencer modulates { b1, b2,. bn,. b2n } by using PAM4 technique, and generates symbol sequences { I1, I2,. In } to be transmitted with 4 different levels, wherein, the input signal and the output signal of the PAM4 sequencer have the following relations:
I=2*b+2*b;1≤k≤n
the PAM4 sequencer sends the generated symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted to the DAC, the DAC converts { I1, I2.. In } into an analog signal D (t), and sends D (t) to the laser. After receiving the analog signal d (t), the laser modulates the optical modulation of the analog signal d (t) to generate an optical signal, and couples the generated optical signal into an optical fiber channel for transmission.
after receiving end equipment receives an optical signal sent by sending end equipment, a photodiode firstly converts the received optical signal into an effective electrical signal R (t), and sends R (t) to an ADC, the ADC performs analog-to-digital conversion on R (t) to generate a symbol sequence { v '1, v' 2.. v 'n }, or to say, the ADC samples R (t) according to a certain sampling frequency to generate a symbol sequence { v' 1, v '2.. v' n }, and after the ADC generates the symbol sequence { v '1, v' 2.. v 'n }, the ADC transmits the symbol sequence { v' 1, v '2.. v' n } to an equalizer for decision, and the decision equalizer performs equalization on { v '1, v' 2.. v 'n }, and decides and outputs a final receiving sequence { I' 1, I '2.. I' n }.
when the sending-end equipment sends a bit sequence to be transmitted, a PAM4 technology is adopted to modulate { b1, b2,. b.. bn,. b2n } to generate a symbol sequence { I1, I2,. In } to be transmitted, and the numerical value of the bandwidth of the symbol sequence is equal to the numerical value of the symbol rate. In order to realize high-speed transmission, the symbol rate In the near-field optical communication system is mostly high, and therefore, the bandwidth of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted, which is generated by adopting the PAM4 technology, is also large.
For example, the symbol rate of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted is 25Gbs, i.e., gigabits per second, and fig. 2 shows a spectral diagram of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted. In fig. 2, the horizontal axis represents the frequency f, and the vertical axis represents the logarithm (Magnitude) of the amplitude. As can be seen from fig. 2, the main lobe bandwidth of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted is 25GHz, i.e., the value of the main lobe bandwidth of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted is equal to the value of the symbol rate of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted.
The bandwidth of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted is large, so that the anti-dispersion capability of a signal sent by sending end equipment is poor when the signal is transmitted In a standard single-mode optical fiber channel, and after the signal sent by the sending end equipment is transmitted for a certain distance, the influence of dispersion on the signal is serious, so that the signal is distorted, and the error rate is large.
In addition, because the bandwidth of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted is large, a device capable of supporting a larger bandwidth is required to transmit the modulated symbol sequence, and the larger the bandwidth supported by the device, the higher the cost thereof, so that the cost of the system is increased.
In the existing short distance optical communication system, the bandwidth of the devices used in the system is severely insufficient in relation to the bandwidth of the signal due to the limitation of the system cost. Therefore, at the transmitting end device, the bandwidth of the signal transmitted by the transmitting end device can be reduced by adopting a spectrum compression technology.
In the prior art, In order to reduce the bandwidth of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted, the transmitting end device pre-processes the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted by using an RRC filter carrying at least 3 taps.
The processing of the sequence of symbols to be transmitted I1, I2.. In } by the RRC filter is a filtering process. The RRC filter can achieve different filtering effects by changing tap coefficients of the RRC filter, that is, different tap coefficients of the RRC filter can make bandwidths of symbol sequences { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted different. The filtering process of the RRC filter on the symbol sequence to be transmitted { I1, I2.. In } is also a wideband compression process of the RRC filter on the symbol sequence to be transmitted { I1, I2.. In }.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 1, as shown In fig. 3, after generating a symbol sequence { I1, I2,. In } to be transmitted, the PAM4 sequencer sends the symbol sequence { I1, I2,. In } to be transmitted to the RRC filter, and the RRC filter performs filtering processing on the symbol sequence { I1, I2,. In } to be transmitted, so as to generate a symbol sequence, where an input signal and an output signal of the RRC filter have the following relationships:
The RRC filter sends the symbol sequence it generates to the DAC, which converts it to an analog signal d (t) and sends d (t) to the laser. After receiving the analog signal d (t), the laser modulates the optical modulation of the analog signal d (t) to generate an optical signal, and couples the generated optical signal into an optical fiber channel for transmission.
The symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted is subjected to bandwidth compression processing by an RRC filter, and the bandwidth of the symbol sequence is smaller than that of the symbol sequence { I1, I2.. In } to be transmitted, so that the requirement of a signal on the system bandwidth can be met. However, the implementation structure of RRC is very complex, and at least 3 taps with different coefficients are required, and the cost of the system is higher along with the complexity of the implementation structure.
In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present invention provide a signal processing method, apparatus, and system, where a sending end device performs delay superposition processing on a sequence signal to be transmitted, so as to reduce a bandwidth of a signal sent by the sending end device, and a receiving end device receives the signal sent by the sending end device, and then only needs to perform delay superposition processing on the received signal, so as to obtain a signal that is actually transmitted by the sending end device, so that a requirement of the signal sent by the sending end device on the bandwidth of the device can be reduced.

To describe the signal processing method provided by the present invention in more detail, fig. 10 shows a flow of sending an optical signal by a communication device and receiving an optical signal by a receiving end device in an embodiment of the present invention.
{ b1, b2,. bn,. b2n } is a bit sequence to be transmitted, { I1, I2,. In } is a first symbol sequence to be transmitted, is a third symbol sequence, d (t) is a first analog signal, r (t) is a second analog signal, { v '1, v' 2,. v 'n } is a fourth symbol sequence, { v1, v2,. vn } is a sixth symbol sequence, { I' 1, I '2,. I' n } is a seventh symbol sequence, and Z-1 represents delaying the symbol sequence by one symbol period.
The signal processing flow shown in fig. 10 can refer to the above description of S101-S111, and is not described in detail here.
After the communication device obtains the first symbol sequence to be transmitted, the communication device encodes the first symbol sequence by using the precoder to generate a third symbol sequence with a bandwidth smaller than that of the first symbol sequence, and the bandwidth of the signal sent by the communication device is reduced by reducing the bandwidth of the third symbol sequence, so that the bandwidth of the signal sent by the communication device is reduced, the cost of the communication device is reduced, and the influence of chromatic dispersion on the signal sent by the communication device is reduced.
After an optical signal is transmitted in an optical fiber for a certain distance, the optical signal undergoes amplitude reduction and width broadening changes, which is called dispersion.
In the optical fiber, signal components with different wavelengths in the optical signal correspond to different transmission speeds, and therefore, the time taken for the signal components in the optical signal to reach the output end of the optical fiber is different, which may cause broadening of the optical signal, i.e., the optical pulse signal may cause a bandwidth increase after being transmitted for a distance along the optical fiber.
in general, after an optical signal is transmitted in an optical fiber for a certain distance, the optical signal is affected by chromatic dispersion, so that the bandwidth of the optical signal received by receiving end equipment is too large, and the sensitivity of the receiving end equipment for receiving the signal is reduced.
in the embodiment of the invention, because the bandwidth of the optical signal sent by the sending end equipment is smaller, the optical signal is less influenced by chromatic dispersion, so that the bandwidth of the optical signal received by the receiving end equipment is smaller, and the sensitivity of the receiving end equipment for receiving the signal is improved.
