Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to communications technologies, and in particular, to a signal processing method and an optical receiver.

BACKGROUND

With increasing development of mobile Internet needs, 4K/8K video technologies and virtual reality (VR) video technologies continuously develop. Therefore, larger-capacity optical transmission networks and better transmission quality need to be provided to meet ever-increasing user needs.

Currently, in an optical communications network, to increase an optical transmission rate, a single-wave transmission rate is increased by using a higher order modulation format and a higher symbol rate. For example, in a 100G/200G wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission system, the single-wave transmission rate is modulated to 400 Gbps. However, due to a limitation of nonlinear transmission of an optical fiber, an incoming fiber power of an optical signal cannot be greatly increased. Therefore, a signal-to-noise ratio of a signal received by an optical receiver is limited, that is, the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal is relatively small, and a transmission distance of the optical signal is limited. Therefore, transmission performance of a current optical communications network cannot meet large-capacity and long-distance transmission requirements at the same time.

In this embodiment, under noise interference, there is a correlation between symbols included in the to-be-processed signal block. Therefore, the noise compensation coefficient generated by the optical receiver based on the to-be-processed signal block and the prediction signal block can indicate the correlation between the symbols included in the to-be-processed signal block.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of this application provide a signal processing method and an optical receiver, used to perform noise compensation on a to-be-processed signal block, so as to increase a signal-to-noise ratio of a signal.

To increase a signal-to-noise ratio of a signal, so as to meet large-capacity and long-distance transmission performance requirements of an optical communications network, an optical receiver performs noise compensation on a received to-be-processed signal. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system framework according to an embodiment of this application. An optical receiver obtains a to-be-processed signal, where the to-be-processed signal is a digital electrical signal obtained by performing analog-to-digital conversion on an analog electrical signal, and the analog electrical signal is an analog electrical signal obtained by performing optical-to-electrical conversion on an optical signal sent by an optical transmitter. Specifically, an operation of performing optical-to-electrical conversion processing on the optical signal and an operation of performing analog-to-digital conversion processing on the analog signal may be performed by the optical receiver, or may be performed by another external device. This is not specifically limited herein. Because of dispersion of a fiber link, the optical receiver performs dispersion compensation on the to-be-processed signal, performs phase retrieval on the to-be-processed signal, performs noise compensation on the to-be-processed signal by using a noise compensation coefficient, and decodes, through FEC, digital symbols output after noise compensation to obtain a digital bit signal.

It should be noted that FIG. 1 is merely an example. In actual application, after obtaining the to-be-processed signal, the optical receiver may directly perform noise compensation on the to-be-processed signal, and then decode, through FEC, the digital symbols output after noise compensation. Three processing processes: dispersion compensation, polarization compensation, and phase retrieval are optional processing processes, and may be performed before the noise compensation processing process, or may be performed after the noise compensation processing process. This is not specifically limited in this application.

The following describes in detail, by using FIG. 2A, a process in which the optical receiver performs noise compensation on the to-be-processed signal in this embodiment of this application. Refer to FIG. 2A. An embodiment of a signal processing method according to an embodiment of this application includes the following steps.

201: The optical receiver obtains a to-be-processed signal block.

The to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence in the to-be-processed signal, n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and a value of n is related to noise intensity in an optical communications network that transmits the to-be-processed signal. For example, higher noise intensity in the optical communications network causes a larger value of n. It should be noted that the to-be-processed signal may come from a same polarization signal, or may come from a plurality of different polarization signals. This is not specifically limited in this application.

In this embodiment of this application, the to-be-processed signal block refers to a signal block obtained through analog-to-digital conversion processing. It should be noted that the to-be-processed signal block obtained by the optical receiver may be a to-be-processed signal block that is obtained through analog-to-digital conversion processing and that is sent by an external device to the optical receiver, or may be a to-be-processed signal block that is obtained by performing analog-to-digital conversion on a received signal block by the optical receiver. This is not specifically limited in this application.

The following first describes a transmission structure of a to-be-processed signal. FIG. 2B is a schematic structural diagram of a to-be-processed signal. The to-be-processed signal includes a plurality of to-be-processed signal blocks. For example, the to-be-processed signal includes Z to-be-processed signal blocks: a to-be-processed signal block 1, a to-be-processed signal block 2, . . . , and a to-be-processed signal block Z, where Z is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. If a length of the to-be-processed signal block is n, the to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence. Specifically, refer to FIG. 2C. A length of a to-be-processed signal block is n, and the to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence, where the n symbols are R₁, R₂, . . . , and R_n. For example, R₁ is the first symbol of the to-be-processed signal block, and R_n is the n^th symbol of the to-be-processed signal block.

It should be noted that lengths of to-be-processed signal blocks included in the to-be-processed signal may be the same or different. This is not specifically limited in this application. In actual application, a length of a to-be-processed signal block may be set based on noise intensity in a current optical communications network.

202: The optical receiver determines a prediction signal block corresponding to the to-be-processed signal block.

As shown in FIG. 2C, the to-be-processed signal is referred to as R, and the to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence in the to-be-processed signal R, where the n symbols are R₁ to R_n. A prediction signal S is a to-be-processed signal that is obtained through prediction based on the to-be-processed signal block and that is almost not affected by noise. The prediction signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence in the prediction signal S, where the n symbols are S₁ to S_n. Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, there are a plurality of manners of determining the prediction signal block corresponding to the to-be-processed signal block by the optical receiver. The following provides examples for description.

1. The optical receiver processes the to-be-processed signal block in a preset determining manner to obtain the prediction signal block.

For example, the optical receiver performs determining on the to-be-processed signal block in a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation code type manner, so as to obtain the prediction signal block. Two bits are mapped in the QPSK modulation code type manner, and correspond to four combinations: 00, 01, 10, and 11. For example, when it is determined that a symbol in the to-be-processed signal block falls into a first quadrant, a combination corresponding to the first quadrant is 11, and the optical receiver may determine that a prediction symbol in the prediction signal block is 1+1j.

2. The optical receiver processes the to-be-processed signal block by using a preset training sequence to obtain the prediction signal block.

The to-be-processed signal carries a preset training sequence inserted into the to-be-processed signal block by an optical transmitter, and the optical receiver determines a specific location and modulation information of the preset training sequence in the to-be-processed signal block, so as to obtain the prediction signal block. For example, the first five symbols in the to-be-processed signal block are the preset training sequence, and the optical receiver may obtain the prediction signal block through calculation by using the five symbols.

3. The optical receiver processes the to-be-processed signal block in an FEC manner to obtain the prediction signal block.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2D, a module that performs noise compensation processing in the optical receiver stores the to-be-processed signal block, and then sends the to-be-processed signal block to an FEC module in the optical receiver. The FEC module performs FEC decoding on the to-be-processed signal block to obtain the prediction signal block, and returns the prediction signal block to the module that performs noise compensation processing. Before the optical receiver sends the to-be-processed signal block to the FEC module by using the module that performs noise compensation processing, the optical receiver may further perform dispersion compensation, polarization compensation, and phase retrieval processing on the to-be-processed signal block.

203: The optical receiver determines a noise compensation coefficient of the to-be-processed signal block based on the to-be-processed signal block and the prediction signal block.

The noise compensation coefficient indicates a correlation between symbols included in the to-be-processed signal block. It should be noted that each to-be-processed signal block has a corresponding prediction signal block. Therefore, each to-be-processed signal block has a corresponding noise compensation coefficient. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, a noise compensation coefficient of the to-be-processed signal block 1 is A, and noise compensation coefficient of the to-be-processed signal block 2 is B.

Specifically, the to-be-processed signal in this embodiment of this application may come from a same polarization signal, or may come from a plurality of different polarization signals. For the two cases, processes in which the optical receiver determines the noise compensation coefficient of the to-be-processed signal block are respectively described in detail in the following embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

204: The optical receiver performs noise compensation on the to-be-processed signal block based on the noise compensation coefficient.

In a possible implementation, the optical receiver multiplies the to-be-processed signal block by the noise compensation coefficient to obtain a compensated signal block.

In this embodiment of this application, an optical receiver obtains a to-be-processed signal block; and the optical receiver determines a prediction signal block corresponding to the to-be-processed signal block, then determines a noise compensation coefficient of the to-be-processed signal block based on the to-be-processed signal block and the prediction signal block, and performs noise compensation on the to-be-processed signal block based on the noise compensation coefficient. Under noise interference, there is a correlation between symbols included in the to-be-processed signal block. Therefore, the noise compensation coefficient generated by the optical receiver based on the to-be-processed signal block and the prediction signal block can indicate the correlation between the symbols included in the to-be-processed signal block. Then, noise compensation for the to-be-processed signal block can be implemented by using the noise compensation coefficient, so as to increase a signal-to-noise ratio of a signal, and meet large-capacity and long-distance transmission performance requirements of an optical communications network.

First, refer to FIG. 3. A to-be-processed signal comes from a same polarization signal, the to-be-processed signal is referred to as R herein, and a prediction signal corresponding to the to-be-processed signal is referred to as S. A specific process of determining a noise compensation coefficient by an optical receiver includes the following steps.

301: The optical receiver obtains R_n+1 to R_n+m−1.

R_n+1 to R_n+m−1 are m−1 symbols arranged after a symbol R_n in the to-be-processed signal R in a time sequence.

It should be noted that, R_n+1 to R_n+m−1 may be symbols on another to-be-processed signal block transmitted after the to-be-processed signal block, or may be symbols on several other to-be-processed signal blocks transmitted after the to-be-processed signal block. Specifically, locations of the symbols are determined based on a length of a signal block. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, R₁ to R_n are symbols on the to-be-processed signal block 1, and if a length of the to-be-processed signal block 2 is greater than or equal to m, R_n+1 to R_n+m−1 are symbols on the to-be-processed signal block 2; and if the length of the to-be-processed signal block 2 is less than m, R_n+1 to R_n+m−1 may be distributed on the to-be-processed signal block 2 and a to-be-processed signal block 3, and may even be distributed on a to-be-processed signal block 4. Specifically, locations of the symbols are determined based on a length of a signal block.

302: The optical receiver determines a first matrix and a second matrix.

The to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence in the to-be-processed signal R, where the n symbols are R₁ to R_n. Similarly, a prediction signal block corresponding to the to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence in the prediction signal S, where the n symbols are S₁ to S_n. Then, the first matrix may be [S₁ S₂ . . . S_n] In addition, the optical receiver may arrange the second matrix as

$\hspace{1em}\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}{R}_1& R_2& R_3& ...& ...& R_n\\ R_2& R_3& R_4& ...& ...& R_{n+1}\\ R_3& & \dots & & & \\ ...& & & ...& & \\ R_m& & & & & R_{n+m-1}\end{array}\right].$

Each column of the second matrix includes an initial symbol of the column and m−1 symbols related to the initial symbol in the to-be-processed signal block, where n is greater than m, m is an integer greater than 1, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Because of noise interference of an optical communications network, there is a correlation between symbols included in a to-be-processed signal block, and higher noise intensity causes a stronger correlation between the symbols, a wider symbol correlation range, and a larger value of m. For example, it may be learned from the second matrix that the initial symbol of the first column of the matrix is R₁, and R₂ to R_m are m−1 symbols that are related to R₁ and that are transmitted in a time sequence and arranged after R₁.

303: The optical receiver multiplies the first matrix by an inverse matrix of the second matrix to obtain a noise compensation matrix including a noise compensation coefficient.

The noise compensation matrix is

$\left[h_1,h_2...h_m\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}{S}_1& S_2& ...& S_n\end{array}\right]*\mathrm{pinv}\left\{\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}{R}_1& R_2& R_3& ...& ...& R_n\\ R_2& R_3& R_4& ...& ...& R_{n+1}\\ R_3& & ...& & & \\ ...& & & ...& & \\ R_m& & & & & R_{n+m-1}\end{array}\right]\right\},$

and a function pinv{a} means inverting a matrix a.

With reference to step 204 shown in FIG. 2A, when the to-be-processed signal comes from a same polarization signal, a signal block obtained through noise compensation is

$\left[h_1,h_2...h_m\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}{R}_1& R_2& R_3& ...& ...& R_n\\ R_2& R_3& R_4& ...& ...& R_{n+1}\\ R_3& & \dots & & & \\ ...& & & ...& & \\ R_m& & & & & R_{n+m-1}\end{array}\right].$

Refer to FIG. 4. A to-be-processed signal includes polarization signals in a plurality of different polarization directions. Herein, an example in which the to-be-processed signal includes polarization signals in two polarization directions is used for description. To be specific, the to-be-processed signal includes a first polarization signal X and a second polarization signal Y. A prediction signal corresponding to the to-be-processed signal is referred to as S. A specific process of determining a noise compensation coefficient by an optical receiver includes the following steps.

401: The optical receiver obtains X_n+1 to X_n+i−1 and Y_n+1 to Y_n+j−1.

X_n+1 to X_n+i−1 are i−1 symbols arranged after a symbol X_n in the first polarization signal X in a time sequence, and Y_n+1 to Y_n+j−1 are j−1 symbols arranged after a symbol Y_n in the second polarization signal Y in a time sequence.

It should be noted that, X_n+1 to X_n+i−1 may be symbols on another to-be-processed signal block transmitted after the to-be-processed signal block, or may be symbols on several other to-be-processed signal blocks transmitted after the to-be-processed signal block. Specifically, locations of the symbols are determined based on a length of a signal block. Similarly, Y_n+1 to Y_n+j−1 may be symbols on another to-be-processed signal block transmitted after the to-be-processed signal block, or may be symbols on several other to-be-processed signal blocks transmitted after the to-be-processed signal block.

402: The optical receiver determines a first matrix and a second matrix.

The to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols of the first polarization signal X and n symbols of the second polarization signal Y, which respectively include X₁ to X_n and Y₁ to Y_n. Similarly, a prediction signal block corresponding to the to-be-processed signal block includes n symbols transmitted in a time sequence, where the n symbols are S₁ to S_n. Then, the first matrix is [S₁ S₂ . . . S_n].

In addition, the optical receiver may arrange the second matrix as

$\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}{X}_1& X_2& X_3& \dots & \dots & X_n\\ X_2& X_3& X_4& & & X_{n+1}\\ \dots & & & \dots & & \\ X_i& \dots & & & & X_{n+1-1}\\ Y_1& Y_2& Y_3& \dots & \dots & Y_n\\ Y_2& Y_3& \dots & & & \\ \dots & & & \dots & & \\ Y_j& & & & & Y_{n+j-1}\end{array}\right].$

Each column of the second matrix includes an initial symbol of the column, i−1 symbols that are related to the initial symbol in the first polarization signal X and that are arranged after the initial symbol in a time sequence, the (i+1)^th symbol of the column, and j−1 symbols that are related to the (i+1)^th symbol in the second polarization signal Y and that are arranged after the (i+1)^th symbol in a time sequence, where n is greater than i+j, i is an integer greater than 1, and j is an integer greater than 1.

The optical receiver may obtain values of i and j based on at least one of the following factors:

1. Noise intensity in an optical communications network that transmits the to-be-processed signal block.

Because of noise interference of the optical communications network, there is a correlation between symbols included in the to-be-processed signal block. For the first polarization signal X, when noise intensity in the optical communications network is higher, a correlation between symbols included in the first polarization signal X is stronger, a symbol correlation range is wider, and the value of i is larger. Similarly, for the second polarization signal Y, when the noise intensity in the optical communications network is higher, the value of j is larger.

2. Noise intensity of cross-phase noise generated between the first polarization signal X and the second polarization signal Y

Cross-phase noise may occur between the first polarization signal X and the second polarization signal Y in a transmission process. If noise intensity of the cross-phase noise is higher, a correlation between the first polarization signal X and the second polarization signal Y is stronger, a symbol correlation range is also wider, and the values of i and j are larger.

403: The optical receiver multiplies the first matrix by an inverse matrix of the second matrix to obtain a noise compensation matrix including a noise compensation coefficient.

The noise compensation matrix is

$\left[H_1,h_2\dots h_m\right]=\left[S_1{S}_2\dots S_n\right]*\mathrm{pinv}\left\{\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}{X}_1& X_2& X_3& \dots & \dots & X_n\\ X_2& X_3& X_4& & & X_{n+1}\\ \dots & & & \dots & & \\ X_i& \dots & & & & X_{n+1-1}\\ Y_1& Y_2& Y_3& \dots & \dots & Y_n\\ Y_2& Y_3& \dots & & & \\ \dots & & & \dots & & \\ Y_j& & & & & Y_{n+j-1}\end{array}\right]\right\},$

and a function pinv{a} means inverting a matrix a.

With reference to step 204 shown in FIG. 2A, when the to-be-processed signal comes from a plurality of different polarization signals, for example, comes from two polarization signals, a signal block obtained through noise compensation is performed on the to-be-processed signal block is

$\left[h_1,h_2\dots h_m\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}{X}_1& X_2& X_3& \dots & \dots & X_n\\ X_2& X_3& X_4& & & X_{n+1}\\ \dots & & & \dots & & \\ X_i& \dots & & & & X_{n+1-1}\\ Y_1& Y_2& Y_3& \dots & \dots & Y_n\\ Y_2& Y_3& \dots & & & \\ \dots & & & \dots & & \\ Y_j& & & & & Y_{n+j-1}\end{array}\right].$
