Definitions
- the present invention relates to a frequency offset estimation device, a receiving device, a frequency offset estimation method and a program.
- a coherent optical communication system can transmit information using the degree of freedom of the polarization, amplitude, and phase of the light used.
- the coherent optical communication system can realize a further increase in the capacity of optical communication compared to an intensity modulation type optical communication system that transmits information using only the intensity change of light.
- coherent optical communication systems can relatively easily compensate for the effects of signal distortion such as chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion, which cannot be avoided in optical signal transmission using optical fibers, by digital signal processing. . Therefore, the coherent optical communication system is an optical communication system that is advantageous even in long-distance transmission, and is widely used mainly as an optical communication system for trunk lines.
- a transmitter is equipped with a transmission laser and a receiver is equipped with a local oscillation laser. Since the transmission laser and the local oscillation laser are used for modulation and coherent detection, respectively, it is desirable that the wavelength of the transmission laser and the wavelength of the local oscillation laser match. However, in practice, it is difficult to precisely match the wavelength of the transmission laser and the wavelength of the local oscillation laser due to, for example, manufacturing tolerances and temperature changes of the laser. A frequency error of about 1.8 [GHz] to 2.5 [GHz] is allowed for each laser. Therefore, if the direction of the frequency error of the transmission laser and the direction of the frequency error of the local oscillation laser are opposite to each other, a maximum frequency offset of 3.6 [GHz] to 5 [GHz] occurs.
- Patent Document 1 can estimate the frequency offset amount with high accuracy, prior to estimating the frequency offset amount, chromatic dispersion compensation, polarization mode dispersion compensation, and polarization channel separation are performed. It is assumed that signal processing such as MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) processing is completed. These signal processes can be adversely affected by frequency offsets. In particular, in modulation schemes using multi-level modulation of 16QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) or higher, which are being used more and more in recent years, it may be impossible to perform such signal processing when there is a frequency offset.
- MIMO Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output

- the receiver in this embodiment compensates for frequency offset using a received signal in which signal distortion such as chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion caused by optical fiber transmission has not been compensated. This is because in order to estimate and compensate for these signal distortions, it may be necessary that the frequency offset is first compensated.
- the receiver in this embodiment estimates and compensates for the frequency offset using feature quantities that are not affected by signal distortion due to optical fiber transmission. Specifically, for example, the power spectrum of the signal does not change due to optical fiber transmission.
- the receiver according to this embodiment uses the power spectrum of the received signal or the amplitude spectrum, which is the square root of the power spectrum, to estimate and compensate for the frequency offset.
- the receiving device in this embodiment converts the main signal into the frequency domain by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and then performs absolute value processing to generate a power spectrum.
- FFT Fast Fourier Transform
- the receiving device converts the main signal into the frequency domain by FFT and then squares the absolute value to generate the amplitude spectrum.
- the receiving device may further perform an averaging process.
- the receiving apparatus calculates the correlation between the power spectrum or amplitude spectrum of the received signal and the detection pattern, and obtains the peak position of the correlation to estimate the frequency offset amount.
- Method for estimating frequency offset amount As one method of estimating the frequency offset amount, a method of estimating based on the position of the center of gravity of the power spectrum of the received signal is conceivable. If the power spectrum is left-right symmetrical, the deviation of the center of gravity of the power spectrum matches the amount of frequency offset.
- 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining the estimation of the frequency offset amount based on the position of the center of gravity of the power spectrum. 1 and 2 show the power spectrum of the received signal converted from the optical signal to the baseband signal by coherent detection in the receiver.
- Fig. 1 shows the power spectrum of the received signal without frequency offset.
- the centroid position of the power spectrum of the received signal without frequency offset coincides with the DC (Direct Current) position.
- FIG. 2 shows the power spectrum of the received signal with frequency offset. The position of the received signal with frequency offset is shifted by the frequency offset amount. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2, the centroid position of the power spectrum of the received signal also shifts from the DC position by the amount of frequency offset. This may enable estimation of the frequency offset amount.
- the method of estimating the amount of frequency offset based on the deviation of the centroid position of the power spectrum produces an error when the transmission line loss spectrum is asymmetric.
- an optical bandpass filter is sometimes used in the transmission line.
- the signal spectrum becomes left-right asymmetric due to the pass filter.
- the deviation of the center-of-gravity position of the power spectrum and the amount of frequency offset do not match. Therefore, in order to estimate the frequency offset amount without being influenced by the transmission path conditions, it is necessary to use other feature amounts that are different from the position of the center of gravity of the power spectrum.
- a method of estimating the frequency offset amount a method of estimating based on pattern matching can be considered. For example, it is conceivable to calculate convolution of the expected value of the power spectrum and the power spectrum of the received signal, and use the maximum value as the frequency offset amount. However, even with this estimation method, there is no difference from the above method in that an error occurs when the transmission path loss spectrum is asymmetric.
- a method of estimating based on the position of the spectrum edge of the received signal is conceivable.
- a Nyquist shaped signal with a small roll-off coefficient is often used.
- the spectrum of the Nyquist shaped signal has a waveform in which both ends of the signal band are sharply cut off. The position of this sharp edge does not change with the loss spectrum in the transmission line. Therefore, by detecting the spectrum edge of the received signal, it becomes possible to estimate the frequency offset amount with higher accuracy.
- a subcarrier modulation method that divides the signal band into multiple subcarriers is sometimes used for the purpose of reducing power consumption and suppressing waveform distortion due to the nonlinear optical effect of optical fibers.
- spectral gaps occur between subcarriers, unlike other multicarrier modulation schemes such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). By detecting the position of this spectrum gap, it becomes possible to estimate the frequency offset with higher accuracy.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the spectrum of a Nyquist-shaped single-carrier signal.
- the amount of frequency offset can be estimated based on the positions of roll-offs (spectrum edges) at both ends of the received signal.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a spectrum of a Nyquist-shaped multicarrier signal.
- the frequency offset amount can be estimated based on at least one of the positions of dips (spectral gaps) between subcarriers and roll-offs (spectral edges) of both ends of the received signal.
- the receiver in this embodiment performs correlation calculation between the received signal spectrum and the detection pattern in order to detect the spectrum edge or spectrum gap.
- a detection pattern a pattern that specifically responds only to spectral edges and spectral gaps must be prepared in advance.
- the detection pattern for detecting the spectrum edge for example, a pattern based on the second derivative of the expected value of the received signal spectrum can be used.
- the received signal spectrum be I sig (f) and the detection pattern be R(f).
- the detection pattern R(f) can be expressed by the following equation (1).
- the receiving device can obtain the correlation pattern K( ⁇ ) represented by the following equation (2). .
- the receiving device can estimate that ⁇ that gives the maximum value of the correlation pattern K( ⁇ ) is the value of the frequency offset.
- the receiving device may use the expected value of the received signal spectrum itself as the detection pattern R(f). However, using the value of the second derivative rather than the expected value itself of the received signal spectrum can obtain a steeper spectrum edge, thereby suppressing the occurrence of error.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of correlation calculation between a received signal spectrum and a detection pattern in the case of a single carrier signal.
- (a) is the received signal spectrum I sig (f)
- (b) is the detection pattern R(f)
- (c) is the result of correlation calculation between the received signal spectrum and the detection pattern.
- Correlation patterns K( ⁇ ) are shown respectively.
- the correlation pattern K( ⁇ ) has a steep peak at a position corresponding to the center of the received signal. amount can be estimated.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of correlation calculation between a received signal spectrum and a detection pattern in the case of a multicarrier signal.
- (a) is the received signal spectrum I sig (f)
- (b) is the detection pattern R(f)
- (c) is the result of correlation calculation between the received signal spectrum and the detection pattern.
- Correlation patterns K( ⁇ ) are shown respectively.
- the correlation pattern K( ⁇ ) has a sharp peak at a position corresponding to the center of the received signal. amount can be estimated. Note that only the correlation pattern K( ⁇ ) near the origin is drawn in FIG. 6(c).
- the receiving apparatus may use a Hermite wavelet as the detection pattern R(f) instead of using the derivative of the expected value of the received signal spectrum.
- the Hermitian wavelet is obtained by normalizing the Nth derivative of the Gaussian function by the L2 norm and then inverting the sign. Those based on the first derivative of the Gaussian function are called first -order Hermitian wavelets, denoted here by ⁇ 1.
- a wavelet based on the second-order derivative of the Gaussian function is called a second -order Hermite wavelet, which is represented by ⁇ 2 here.
- the first-order Hermitian wavelet ⁇ 1 can be used as the pattern R(f) for detecting spectral edges.
- a first-order Hermite wavelet ⁇ 1 is represented by the following equation (3).
- FIG. 7 is a diagram plotting the Hermitian wavelet ⁇ 1 (x) represented by the equation (3).
- the second-order Hermitian wavelet ⁇ 2 can be used as the spectral gap detection pattern R(f) by inverting the sign.
- a second-order Hermitian wavelet ⁇ 2 is represented by the following equation (4).
- FIG. 8 is a diagram plotting the Hermitian wavelet ⁇ 2 (x) represented by the equation (4).
- the receiving device may configure the detection pattern R(f) by combining and using a plurality of wavelets according to the shape of the received signal spectrum.
- the receiving device may replace the detection pattern R(f) with a simpler pattern and perform the correlation calculation.
- the calculation of power-of-2 multiplication and the calculation of 1 divided by the power of 2 can be performed only by bit shifting, so the amount of calculation is reduced compared to integration using arbitrary coefficients.
- the receiving apparatus may use a simple pattern configured in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 9 as the detection pattern R(f).
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a detection pattern for a multi-carrier signal with a 4-subcarrier configuration, configured in a rectangular shape for the purpose of reducing the amount of calculation.

Description
周波数オフセット量を推定する方法の一つとして、受信信号のパワースペクトルの重心位置に基づいて推定する方法が考えられる。パワースペクトルが左右対称であるならば、当該パワースペクトルの重心位置のずれは周波数オフセット量に一致する。
本実施形態における受信装置は、スペクトルエッジ又はスペクトルギャップを検出するため、受信信号スペクトルと検出用パターンとの相関計算を行う。検出用パターンとして、スペクトルエッジ及びスペクトルギャップのみに特異的に反応するパターンが予め用意されている必要がある。
なお、受信装置は、計算量の削減を目的として、検出用パターンR(f)をより簡易なパターンに置き換えて相関計算を行うようにしてもよい。デジタル回路による演算では、2のべき乗倍の計算及び2のべき乗分の1の計算はビットシフトのみで構成することができるため、任意の係数による積算に比べて計算量が削減される。受信装置は、エルミートウェーブレットを用いる代わりに、例えば図9に示されるような矩形形状で構成された簡易なパターンを検出用パターンR(f)として置き換えて用いるようにしてもよい。図9は、計算量削減を目的として矩形形状で構成された、4-サブキャリア構成のマルチキャリア信号用の検出用パターンの一例を示す図である。
以下、受信装置1の機能構成について説明する。図10は、本発明の実施形態における受信装置1の機能構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図10に示されるように、受信装置1は、LOレーザ10と、コヒーレントOE(Optical to Electrical)変換部20と、ADC30-1~30-4と、周波数オフセット推定部50と、を含んで構成される。
なお、本実施形態における受信装置の機能構成は、例えば図11に示される受信装置1aのような機能構成であってもよい。受信装置1aは、LOレーザ10と、コヒーレントOE変換部20と、ADC30-1~30-4と、FFT演算部40-1~40-2と、周波数オフセット推定部50aと、を含んで構成される。また、周波数オフセット推定部50aは、絶対値演算部52-1~52-2と、フレーム積算部53と、相関処理部54と、検出用パターン記憶部55と、ピーク検出部56と、を含んで構成される。
以下、本実施形態における受信装置1の動作の一例について説明する。図12は、本発明の実施形態における受信装置1の動作を示すフローチャートである。
