TLDR
A transmission system with adjustable data rate for single-carrier coherent optical transmission is proposed, which enables high-speed transmission close to the Shannon limit, and it is experimentally demonstrated that the optical transmission of probabilistically shaped 64-QAM signals outperforms the transmission reach of regular 16- QAM and regular 64-ZAM signals.
Abstract
A transmission system with adjustable data rate for single-carrier coherent optical transmission is proposed, which enables high-speed transmission close to the Shannon limit. The proposed system is based on probabilistically shaped 64-QAM modulation formats. Adjustable shaping is combined with a fixed-QAM modulation and a fixed forward-error correction code to realize a system with adjustable net data rate that can operate over a large reach range. At the transmitter, an adjustable distribution matcher performs the shaping. At the receiver, an inverse distribution matcher is used. Probabilistic shaping is implemented into a coherent optical transmission system for 64-QAM at 32 Gbaud to realize adjustable operation modes for net data rates ranging from 200 to 300 Gb/s. It is experimentally demonstrated that the optical transmission of probabilistically shaped 64-QAM signals outperforms the transmission reach of regular 16-QAM and regular 64-QAM signals by more than 40% in the transmission reach.

FPGA Implementation of Rate-Adaptable Prefix-Free Code Distribution Matching for Probabilistic Constellation Shaping

TL;DR: It is shown that the RA-PCDM uses substantially less hardware area than a traditional rate adaptation scheme based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, while offering finer rate granularity and shaping gain, which enables high-throughput optical communications to approach channel capacity more closely at a lower cost than RA-LDPC.

Threshold Saturation via Spatial Coupling: Why Convolutional LDPC Ensembles Perform So Well over the BEC

TL;DR: The fundamental mechanism that explains why “convolutional-like” or “spatially coupled” codes perform so well is described, and it is conjecture that for a large range of graphical systems a similar saturation of the “dynamical” threshold occurs once individual components are coupled sufficiently strongly.

Bandwidth Efficient and Rate-Matched Low-Density Parity-Check Coded Modulation

TL;DR: A new coded modulation scheme is proposed that operates within less than 1.1 dB of the AWGN capacity 1/2 log2(1 + SNR) at any spectral efficiency between 1 and 5 bits/s/Hz by using only 5 modes.
