Abstract

See full text

A computer implemented method for a cyclic (forward-backward) decoding for a forward error-correction FEC scheme includes decoding a given k−1th codeword in a block code of length N in an optical communication system, forwarding M symbols' enhanced log likelihood ratios LLRs produced by decoding the k−1th codeword, decoding the kth codeword together with forwarded M symbols' enhanced LLRS, and feeding backward, to the initial step i) decoding, corresponding overlapped M symbols' enhanced LLRs for decoding of the k−1th codeword again.
