Probabilistic Constellation Shaping of Multi-Dimensional Symbols for Improved Tolerance to Nonlinear Impairments
An optical transmitter device (14) includes a digital signal processor ‘DSP’ (20) having digital hardware (30). The DSP is operative to generate (102,202,302) shaped bits from a first set of information bits, and to apply (104,204,304) a systematic forward error correction ‘FEC’ scheme to encode the shaped bits and a second set of information bits, where the first set of information bits and the second set of information bits are disjoint sets. Unshaped bits and the shaped bits are mapped to selected symbols or are used to select symbols from one or more constellations. The selected symbols are mapped to physical dimensions. Each unshaped bit is either one of the second set of information bits or one of multiple parity bits resulting from the FEC encoding. In this manner, a target spectral efficiency is achieved.
Efficient reliable communication with superimposed transmissions
Methods and systems are disclosed for sharing a communication resource. Two transmitters seek to use the same two communication slots to transmit two symbols each to a receiver. At each transmitter, data rotation provides two orthogonal combinations of two input symbols which are transmitted in the two slots. An additional phase rotation between slots at one of the transmitters provides phase diversity. The receiver receives superimposed signals from the transmitters, each slot providing information of all four symbols. Joint detection over the two slots provides coding gain and reliable recovery of all four symbols in the two communication slots. Performance results are provided. Disclosed techniques are lightweight and suitable for resource-constrained IoT devices.
Selecting a modulation table to mitigate 5G message faults
Wireless networks, such as 5G (and future 6G) networks, can recognize opportunities to enhance message performance by analyzing fault types in real-time, and selecting an appropriate mitigating modulation table accordingly. Noise patterns causing adjacent-amplitude faults and adjacent-phase faults indicate the need for different modulation schemes, while the large non-adjacent faults from pulsed external interference lead to yet a different choice. Disclosed examples show how to select an appropriate mitigating modulation table through fault analysis of failed messages. By selecting and switching to different modulation tables according to the types of message faults experienced by user messages, network operators can reduce message failure rates and increase overall throughput while reducing average delay per message, according to some embodiments.

A demodulation method and apparatus is disclosed that is for use on a modulated communication signal which comprises source data being mapped onto a first modulation scheme to obtain a first set of complex symbols and at least one further modulation scheme to obtain at least one further set of complex symbols. The method comprises receiving the modulated signal comprising the first set of complex symbols and at least one further set of complex symbols; a. applying a Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoding technique; b. applying a first phase estimation technique to the first set of symbols; c. applying a second phase estimation technique to the second set of symbols to determine phase information for the modulation signal using a first phase estimation means; and d. repeating steps c and d using at least one further phase estimation means to identify the presence of phase rotation. Beneficially the method enables the use of large block sizes in the FEC technique.
Artificial intelligence for predicting 5G network performance
Computing environments employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) are disclosed for enabling network operators to optimize messaging performance, particularly 5G (and future 6G) messaging performance, in real-time. For example, AI structures can assist in the selection and optimization of modulation tables. Three development phases are described: network data acquisition including faults experienced under various network conditions, AI structure tuning for accurate prediction of performance, and implementation of an algorithm based on the AI structure. Network operators can use the algorithm to compare predicted performance metrics according to various operating conditions, such as available modulation tables, and thereby select operating parameters for improved message reliability and throughput. The algorithm can also be used to adjust network variables, such as particular amplitude or phase levels in modulation tables.
