- Embodiments of the disclosure mitigate cycle-slip induced error propagation for QDB modulated signals by using differential-coding and differential-decoding techniques as disclosed herein.
- FIG. 1A presents an example 9-point constellation for a QDB modulated signal.
- a QDB modulated signal can be represented by a constellation of nine constellation points 105 with real and imaginary parts referred to as in-phase or I-axis (I), and quadrature or Q-axis (Q), components respectively.

- FIG. 1B represents a QDB symbol map corresponding to the QDB constellation of FIG. 1A .
- the symbol map includes four symbols, which may be represented as bracketed bit value pairs, or dibits, [0,0], [0,1], [1,0] and [1,1].

Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/063,671, filed by Chongjin Xie on Oct. 14, 2014, entitled “DIFFERENTIAL-CODING AND DECODING FOR QUADRATURE DUOBINARY COHERENT OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS” incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates, in general, to optical communication systems and to methods of using and manufacturing such systems.
- This section introduces aspects that may help facilitate a better understanding of the inventions. Accordingly, the statements of this section are to be read in this light and are not to be understood as admissions about what is prior art or what is not prior art.
- Polarization-division-multiplexed (PDM) quadrature duobinary (QDB) modulation with digital coherent detection has promise for use in high speed (e.g., 100 Gb/s or higher) optical communication. One problem with the coherent detection of QDB modulated signals is that cycle-slip can cause catastrophic error propagation. As understood by those skilled in the art cycle-slip can occur when the phase of the optical carrier output by a laser, e.g., a continuous sinusoidal wave signal, wanders.
- Efforts to reduce error propagation in coherent detection when using PDM QDB modulation have attempted to recover the absolute carrier phase using periodically inserted pilot symbols in the transmitted data. Recovering the absolute carrier phase in this manner, however, can require more complex carrier phase recovery units and can reduce the spectral efficiency due to the insertion of pilot symbols into the transmitted data stream.
- One embodiment is a method. The method comprises, receiving digital-electrical input symbols of a stream of input symbols, the input symbols corresponding to signal points of a symbol constellation. The method can also comprise classifying the input symbols. In some such embodiments, a first symbol class comprises input symbols corresponding to signal points that are variant to rotation of the symbol constellation, and, a second symbol class comprises input symbols corresponding to signal points that are invariant to rotation of the symbol constellation. The method can also comprise applying selective differential coding only to those input symbols of the first symbol class.
- In any embodiments of the method, the symbol constellation can be a quadrature duobinary constellation. In any embodiments of the method, the first symbol class can include symbols [0,1] and [1,0], and the second symbol class can include symbols [0,0] and [1,1]. In any embodiments of the method, the differential coding can be applied to the input symbols according to a differential coding rule, thereby producing differential-coded symbols. In any embodiments of the method, if a given symbol in the first symbol class is equal to an immediately preceding symbol in the first symbol class, then the given symbol can be coded as [1,0], and, if the given symbol is not equal to the immediately preceding symbol in the first symbol class, then the given symbol can be coded as [0,1].
- In any embodiments of the method, the symbols of the stream of input symbols can be precoded prior to the selective differential coding for transmission of an output optical data stream in an optical communication system. In any embodiments of the method, the input symbols can include two bits [DIn, DQn], where n is a symbol index, and the symbols can be precoded according to: PIn=XOR(DIn, PIn−1) and PQn=XOR(DQn, PQn−1) and, BIn=PIn+PIn−1−1 and BQn=PQn+PQn−1−1, the precoded symbol being [BIn, BQn].
- Any embodiments of the method can further comprise receiving an optical signal carrying an optical stream of input symbols. Any embodiments of the method can further comprise converting the optical stream to the digital-electrical input symbols. In any embodiments of the method, the selective differential coding can produce a stream of selective-differentially-decoded symbols, and can further comprise post-coding symbols of the selective-differentially-decoded symbol stream. In any embodiments of the method, the selective-differentially-decoded symbols can each include two bits [BIn,BQn], where n is a symbol index, and the selective-differentially-decoded symbols are post-coded according to: DIn=1−|BIn| and DQn=1−|BQn|, the post-coded symbol being [DIn,DQn].

The apparatus can also comprise a symbol classifier configured to classify the input symbols. In any such embodiments, a first symbol class comprises input symbols corresponding to signal points that are variant to rotation of the symbol constellation, and, a second symbol class comprises input symbols corresponding to signal points that are invariant to rotation of the symbol constellation.

In any embodiments of the apparatus, the DSP can be configured to precode the symbols of the stream of input symbols prior to the selective differential coding for transmission of an output optical data stream in an optical communication system. In any such embodiments of the apparatus, the selective differential coding can be applied to the input symbols according to a differential coding rule, thereby producing differential-coded symbols. In any embodiments of the apparatus, if a given symbol in the first symbol class is equal to an immediately preceding symbol in the first symbol class, then the given symbol can be coded as [1,0], and, if the given symbol is not equal to the immediately preceding symbol in the first symbol class, then the given symbol can be coded as [0,1]. In any embodiments of the apparatus, the input symbols can include two bits [DIn,DQn], where n is a symbol index, and the symbols are precoded according to: PIn=XOR(DIn, PIn−1) and PQn=XOR(DQn, PQn−1), and, BIn=PIn+PIn−1−1 and BQn=PQn+PQn−1−1, the precoded symbol being [BIn,BQn].
- Any embodiments of the apparatus can further comprise an optical-to-electrical converter configured to convert a received optical signal carrying an optical stream of input symbols to the digital-electrical input symbols. In any such embodiments, the selective differential coding can produce a stream of selective-differentially-decoded symbols, and can further comprise post-coding symbols of the selective-differentially-decoded symbol stream. In any embodiments of the apparatus, the selective-differentially-decoded symbols can each include two bits [BIn,BQn], where n is a symbol index, and the selective-differentially-decoded symbols can be post-coded according to: DIn=1−|BIn| and DQn=1−|BQn|, the post-coded symbol being [DIn,DQn].

- Embodiments of the disclosure mitigate cycle-slip induced error propagation for QDB modulated signals by using differential-coding and differential-decoding techniques as disclosed herein.
-
FIG. 1A presents an example 9-point constellation for a QDB modulated signal. As understood by one skilled in the pertinent art, a QDB modulated signal can be represented by a constellation of nineconstellation points 105 with real and imaginary parts referred to as in-phase or I-axis (I), and quadrature or Q-axis (Q), components respectively. As discussed further below eachpoint 105 represents one QDB symbol. Differential-coding and differential-decoding for QPSK (quadrature phase-shift keying), 16QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), 64QAM, and mPSK are not effective or applicable to QDB modulated signals due, at least, to the latter's 9-point constellation format. Eachconstellation point 105 is located at one of nine coordinate values. In this discussion, constellation points are represented as I, Q pairs within parentheses, thus (I,Q)=(0,±1), (±1,0), (±1,±1) and (0,0). -
FIG. 1B represents a QDB symbol map corresponding to the QDB constellation ofFIG. 1A . The symbol map includes four symbols, which may be represented as bracketed bit value pairs, or dibits, [0,0], [0,1], [1,0] and [1,1]. These values may be uniquely represented by the first quadrant of the symbol map, with the other quadrants providing redundant mapping of some symbols. Any of the symbols may be represented by an I/Q pair corresponding to the first quadrant. Thus the [1,1] symbol is represented by four degenerate points in the constellation, the [0,1] and [1,0] symbols are each represented by two degenerate points, and the [0,0] symbol is represented by a single point. - The differential-coding and differential-decoding techniques disclosed herein recognize that only certain classes of the QDB constellation points 105, and corresponding symbols, are subject to the aforementioned propagation error caused by cycle slip.
- Symbol classes are illustrated in
FIG. 1B , in which the symbols are divided into two classes. Asecond symbol class 110, referred to herein as Class II symbols, is depicted as filled circles and correspond to QDB constellation points for which a cycle slip may not cause an error. Such Class II symbols can have symbol values of [1,1] or [0,0]. When a cycle slip includes an nπ/2 radian phase rotation, a symbol value of [1,1] remains [1,1] and a symbol value [0,0] remains [0,0], and therefore no ambiguity in the symbol, and hence no error, occurs for the Class II symbols. - The Class II symbols may be described as being invariant to rotation. Symbols that are invariant to rotation are those symbols for which the symbol value does not change when the constellation is rotated about a reference point (e.g. the origin of the coordinate space of the constellation) by an angle of rotational symmetry of the constellation. In the present example angles of rotational symmetry are represented by nπ/2.
- The
first symbol class 115, sometimes referred to herein as Class I symbols, is depicted as open circles and correspond to QDB constellation points for which a cycle slip can cause an error. Such Class I symbols can have symbol values of [1,0] or [0,1]. In contrast to Class II symbols, when a cycle slip involves, e.g., a π/2 or 3π/2 phase rotation, the constellation coordinate value (1,0), corresponding to symbol [1,0], will become (0,1) or (0,−1), corresponding to symbol [0,1]. Similarly, the constellation coordinate value (0,1), corresponding to symbol [0,1], will become (−1,0) or (1,0), corresponding to symbol [1,0]. In either example, a Class I symbol error results. Accordingly, the Class I symbols may be described as being variant to rotation. - Embodiments of the disclosure provide coding of optically transmitted data to mitigate the effects of cycle slip. One such embodiment is a method, e.g., a method of differential-coding and differential-decoding a PDM-QDB modulated signal, as performed in one or more digital signal processors (DSPs).

FIG. 2A presents a flow diagram of an example differential-coding method 200A for QDB modulation in accordance with the present disclosure.FIG. 2B presents a flow diagram of an example differential-decoding scheme 200B for QDB modulation in accordance with the present disclosure. In various embodiments themethod 200A may be performed by an optical transmitter, and themethod 200B may be performed by an optical receiver. The illustrated embodiments show differential coding/decoding of a single polarization channel of a modulated optical signal. For a PDM-QDB signal, the signal at each polarization could be processed using the same steps as presented in the described methods. - With continuing reference to
FIGS. 2A and 2B throughout, themethod 200A commences at adata input step 205 wherein the input data corresponds to digitized data, e.g., a stream . . . Dn−1, Dn, Dn+1 . . . of pairs of electrical binary-coded digital input values, e.g. symbols [DI,DQ], to be transmitted through an optical communication system. As discussed further below, apre-coding operation 260 may be performed on the input data symbols to produce a stream of pre-coded symbols [BI,BQ], . . . Bn−1, Bn, Bn+1 . . . - The
method 200A includes performing in astep 210, e.g. in a DSP, a classification operation on the input symbols . . . Dn−1, Dn, Dn+1 . . . The classification operation includes classifying the input symbols as Class I or Class II symbols. The Class II symbols correspond to those symbols that are invariant to rotation, e.g. [0,0] and [1,1], corresponding in the present example embodiment to those constellation points having I/Q values of equal magnitude, e.g. (I,Q)=(1,1) (−1,1), (1,−1), (−1,−1) and (0,0). The Class I symbols correspond to those symbols that are variant to rotation, e.g. [0,1] and [1,0], corresponding in the present example embodiment to those constellation points having I/Q values on unequal magnitude, e.g. (I,Q)=(0,1) (1,0), (0,−1) and (−1,0). - The
method 200A includes applying viasteps step 217 as [0,1]. And, according to the rule, if the given symbol is different from the immediately preceding Class I symbol from the stream, then the given symbol is instead coded instep 220 as [1,0]. In an alternate embodiment the given Class I symbol is coded instep 217 as [1,0] and coded as [0,1] in thestep 220. - As part of performing the differential coding rule, if the given (current) symbol under consideration in the differential coding operation steps 215, 217, 220 is a first Class I symbol from the data-stream, then coding of the first Class I symbol is not changed. For instance, if the coding for the first Class I symbol was [0,1] or [0,−1], then after
step 215 the coding is retained as [0,1] or [0,−1], respectively. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 2A , in some embodiments of themethod 200A, the Class II symbols, not subject to the differentialcoding operation step 215, are held, e.g. buffered, in a memory of the DSP instep 225. - As also illustrated in
FIG. 2A , in some embodiments of themethod 200A, the Class I symbols held instep 225 and the differential-coded Class I symbols insteps step 230 in a manner that re-establishes the order of data symbols as present in the input data stream instep 205. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 2B , in some embodiments of themethod 200B, a choosingstep 235 may receive the differential-coded symbols in the recombined data stream (including the Class I symbols subject tosteps step 235 the Class I symbols are selected for differential decoding. The selected received symbols are subjected to a differential decoding operation instep 240. In some such embodiments of themethod 200B, the symbols of the recombined data stream that were not differential-coded (e.g., the Class I symbols not subject tostep 215 and previously held in step 225) are held, e.g. buffered without modification, in a memory of the DSP or a different DSP, instep 245. - In some embodiments, the differential decoding operation in
step 240 is applied to the differential-coded symbols to produce differential-decoded symbols, according to a differential decoding rule. As part of performing the differential decoding rule in thestep 215, if either the I or Q components of a later differential-coded (Class I) symbol has an absolute value that is the same as the absolute value of the corresponding I or Q component of the immediately preceding differential-coded symbol, then the later differential-coded symbol is decoded as [0,1]. And, as part of performing the differential decoding rule, if both I and Q components of the later differential-coded symbol both have absolute values that are different from those of the immediately preceding differential-coded symbol, then the latter differential-coded symbol is decoded as [1,0]. In an alternative variant of the rule, if either I or Q components of the later differential-coded symbol have absolute values that are the same as those of the immediately preceding differential-coded symbol, then the later differential-coded symbol is decoded as [0,−1]. And, according to the alternative variant of the rule, if both I and Q components of the later differential-coded symbol have absolute values that are different from I and Q of the immediately preceding differential-coded symbol, then the one differential-coded symbol is decoded as [−1,0]. - Also as part of the performing the differential decoding rule, if the later differential-coded symbol is a first symbol of the differential-coded symbols from the data-stream, then coding of the first symbol is not changed. For instance, if the coding for the first of Class I symbols was [0,1] (or [0,−1]), then after
step 240 the coding is retained as [0,1] (or (0,−1)], respectively. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 2B , in some embodiments of themethod 200B, the differential-decoded symbols formed instep 240 and the non-differential-decoded symbols held instep 245 are then recombined instep 250 in a manner that re-establishes the order of data symbols as present in the input data stream instep 205 and/or 235. Themethod 200B stops atdata output step 255. - As part of the differential coding operation in
step 215 or the differential decoding operation instep 240, whether the in-phase and quadrature components of the Class I pairs of symbols are encoded/decoded as 1 or −1 depends on the immediately preceding symbol in the data-stream. The setting to 1 or −1 may be made to ensure that the level changes between the I components of adjacent symbols, and/or between the Q components of adjacent symbols, do not exceed unity. Some embodiments of themethod 200A further include a pre-differential coding operation instep 260 to convert binary data to duobinary data for each quadrature of a QDB signal, having values of −1, 0, and 1. The pre-differential coding operation instep 260 may be separately performed, e.g. in the DSP, on all of the individual ones of the pairs of electrical digital input fromstep 205 prior to theclassification operation step 210. That is, the symbols subject to the classification operation instep 210 are formed after the pre-differentialcoding operation step 260. - The pre-differential
coding operation step 260 is separately performed on the I components and on the Q components of the processed symbols. In some embodiments, for example, the pre-differentialcoding operation step 260 includes for each one of the I/Q pairs of input signals (e.g., coded as binary symbols), DIn and DQn, to be represented as the in-phase and quadrature of QDB modulated signals, respectively, applying a pre-differential coding rule in step 262: -
PI n=XOR(DI n ,PI n−1) and PQ n=XOR(DQ n ,PQ n−1) - wherein PIn and PQn are intermediate pre-differential coded I/Q components to represent the in-phase and quadrature QDB signals of the n-th datum in the data-stream to be modulated, and wherein XOR is an exclusive logical OR operation. The pre-differential coding rule then further includes applying a second pre-differential coding rule in step 264:
-
BI n =PI n +PI n−1−1, and, BQ n =PQ n +PQ n−1−1 - wherein BIn and BQn respectively, correspond to the pre-differential coded in-phase and quadrature duobinary components for the QDB modulated symbols corresponding to the electrical digital input symbols operated on in
step 210. - Some embodiments of the
method 200B further include a post-differential-decoding operation in astep 265 to convert duobinary data to binary data for each of the I and Q components of a QDB signal. The post-differential-decoding operation instep 265 may be separately performed, in the DSP or in a different DSP, on all of the individual ones of the recombined data stream of symbols (e.g., from step 250) that include the differential-decoded pairs of Class I symbols (e.g., decoded in step 240) recombined with the pairs of Class II symbols (e.g., held in step 245). - In some embodiments, for example, the post-differential-
decoding operation step 265 includes for each one of the symbols representing the recombined data stream of symbols, applying a post-differential decoding rule: -
DI′ n=1−|EI n| and DQ′ n=1−|EQ n| - wherein EI′n and EQ′n respectively, represent the in-phase and quadrature components of the data stream output by the
step 240, and DI′n and DQ′n respectively, represent the in-phase and quadrature duobinary modulated post-differential decoded signals of the n-th datum in an output (e.g., binary data output) data-stream (step 255). - In some embodiments of the
method 200A, the re-established data stream containing differential-coded symbols (step 230) may be transmitted via an optical communication system, such as thesystem 400 discussed in the context ofFIG. 4 , below. - In some embodiments of the
method 200A, the differential coding operation (steps - In some embodiments of the
method 200B, the differential decoding operation (step 240) is performed in a different DSP of a receiver subunit of the same optical communication system or a remote optical communication system. In some embodiments, the second holding, the second recombining and post-differential decoding operation steps 245, 250, 265 are also performed in the different DSP of the same or remote receiver subunit. -
FIG. 3 presents an chart showing selected steps in an example method of differential-coding and differential-decoding for an example data stream of QDB signals in accordance with a method embodiment of the such as the example embodiment presented inFIGS. 2A and 2B . -
FIG. 3 presents a data stream represented by a tabular presentation of 16 symbols (n=16) of the data system. With continuing reference toFIGS. 2A, 2B and 3 throughout, DIn and DQn are respectively I and Q components of input symbols of QDB signals from the input data to be modulated presented instep 205. As illustrated inFIG. 3 as part ofpre-coding step 260, after the applying the first pre-coding rule (step 262) the intermediate pre-coded symbols, [PIn,PQn], are generated and after the applying the second pre-coding rule (step 264) the pre-coded symbols, [BIn,BQn], are generated. To facilitate performing the second rule, a seed value is used as a 0-th symbol. - The
classification step 210 is performed on the pre-coded symbols, [BIn,BQn]. The differential coding step 215 (includingsteps 217 and 220) is performed only on the Class I symbols (n=4, 10-13 and 16), while the Class II symbols (n=1-3, 5-9, 14-15) are held instep 225. After differential coding (step 215) the Class I and II symbols are recombined instep 230 to form the output symbol stream . . . [EIn−1,EQn−1], [EIn,EQn], [EIn+1,EQn+1] . . . The recombined symbols may then be converted (e.g., via an into in-phase optical modulator) an optical and quadrature QDB modulated signals that are transmitted over a long distance (e.g., kilometers), e.g., via an optical fiber. - The optical symbols may then be converted (e.g., via an optical-to-electrical receiver) back into digital electrical signals, component pairs that are equivalent to the recombined data stream of symbols [EIn, EQn] formed in
step 230. - The recombined data stream of symbols [EIn,EQn] is subjected to the choosing
step 235, and the differential-coded pairs of symbols, the Class I symbols, are then subject to the differential decoding instep 240 while the non-differential-coded symbols, the Class II symbols, are held instep 245. After thedifferential decoding step 240 the Class I and Class II symbols are then recombined instep 250 in a manner that re-establishes the order of data symbols as present in the input data stream instep 205, thereby forming a stream of recombined differential decoding symbol pairs (EI′n,E′n). - In
step 265 the recombined differential decoding symbols (EI′n,EQ′n) are subject to a post-decoding operation on all of the symbols in the recombined data stream of symbols (e.g., from step 250) to form post-differential decoded symbols (DI′n,DQ′n) that can be output atstep 255. - Thus it is seen from
FIG. 3 the input data may be recovered at the output after the coding and decoding processes described byFIGS. 2A /B and the related description. - Another embodiment of the disclosure is an optical communication system.
FIG. 4 presents a block diagram of an exampleoptical communication system 400 using QDB modulation with differential-coding and differential-decoding in accordance with the present disclosure. - With continuing reference to
FIGS. 2A, 2B and 4 throughout, thesystem 400 comprises aDSP 405 that can receive a data stream 410 (e.g., the electrical digital input symbols in step 205).
