[0050] In polarization multiplexing coherent optical communication systems, the use of four-dimensional modulation formats can bring higher spectral efficiency. However, four-dimensional modulated signals face problems such as inter-polarization crosstalk, IQ imbalance, multi-dimensional nonlinear distortion, and phase noise of irregular constellation points that are difficult to compensate.
[0051] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of optical fiber communications, and specifically to a nonlinear equalization and phase recovery algorithm suitable for a four-dimensional modulated signal. The embodiments of the present application propose a four-dimensional modulated signal processing algorithm that combines a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) real-valued equalizer (RVE) with a decision-directed carrier phase estimation (DDCPE). On the one hand, the MIMO-RVE architecture is used to effectively compensate for polarization crosstalk, IQ imbalance, and nonlinear distortion. On the other hand, a decision-directed recursive carrier phase estimation algorithm is used to achieve low-complexity and robust phase estimation for irregular constellation points of four-dimensional modulation. The algorithm performs phase recovery while performing multi-dimensional equalization, which reduces the impact of equalization-enhanced phase noise and improves the transmission reliability of four-dimensional modulated signals in polarization-multiplexed coherent optical communication systems.
[0052] Specifically, the present application embodiment provides a method for recovering a four-dimensional modulated signal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an electronic device, and the method includes:
[0053] S101, obtaining an input signal sequence and an original transmission signal sequence, where both the input signal sequence and the original transmission signal sequence are normalized four-dimensional modulation signal sequences;
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the original transmission signal sequence is a training symbol. The input signal sequence and the original transmission signal sequence are respectively , the corresponding lengths are , using a second-order 4×4 real-valued MIMO nonlinear equalizer, the corresponding initial input signal sequence and the initial original transmission signal sequence The I and Q signals from the X polarization direction and the I and Q signals from the Y polarization direction are the I initial input signal sequence from the X polarization direction and the initial original transmission signal sequence. , For example, the normalized expression is:
[0055] ;
[0056] Where k is the serial number of each point in the signal sequence.
[0057] S102, for each target point information of the input signal sequence, obtaining a filter tap coefficient corresponding to the target point information and phase information required for phase compensation corresponding to the target point information;
[0058] Among them, the filter tap coefficient corresponding to the target point information is obtained according to the filter tap coefficient corresponding to the previous target point information and the original transmission signal sequence, and the phase information corresponding to the target point information is obtained according to the phase information corresponding to the previous target point information and the original transmission signal sequence;
[0059] In one achievable method, each target point information is the information of the target point n in the input signal sequence. For the selection of the target point, the target point information of the input signal sequence can be determined according to the input signal sequence through a sliding window according to a preset sliding distance. The sliding window size is the length of the first-order tap coefficient of the MIMO nonlinear equalizer. According to the preset sliding distance, the middle point of the sliding window is determined as the target point, and the information of the middle point in the input signal sequence is used as the target point information. For example, if the input signal sequence has 10,000 points, the first-order tap coefficient is 101, and the preset sliding distance is 1, then the first sliding window is 1-101, and the first target point is the 51st point; the sliding window corresponding to the second target point is 2-102, and the second target point is the 52nd point, and so on.

[0062] The second-order 4×4 real-valued MIMO nonlinear equalizer contains 16 equalizers, corresponding to the permutations and combinations of the I and Q signals in the X polarization direction and the I and Q signals in the Y polarization direction. The middle position of is assigned a value of 1, the other values are set to 0, and the remaining tap coefficients are all 0. For example, it means that the first-order input is I-path in the X polarization direction, and the output is also I-path in the X polarization direction.
[0063] Here, the first-order tap coefficient of I path with both input and output in the X polarization direction is For example, the expression is: , where m is the number of bits in the tap coefficient.

[0065] In another possible situation, when the target point information is not the first target information point, the filter tap coefficient corresponding to the target point information is obtained based on the filter tap coefficient corresponding to the previous target point information and the original transmitted signal sequence, and the phase information corresponding to the target point information is obtained based on the phase information corresponding to the previous target point information and the original transmitted signal sequence.

Among them: ; is the balanced output signal in the X polarization direction; is the balanced output signal of the I path in the X polarization direction; It is the balanced output signal of the Q path in the X polarization direction; is the balanced output signal in the Y polarization direction; is the balanced output signal of the I path in the Y polarization direction; It is the balanced output signal of the Q path in the Y polarization direction.
[0069] S104, performing phase compensation according to the equalized output signal and phase information to obtain a restored signal;

After the real-valued MIMO Volterra series is obtained, it is merged into a complex signal in the X / Y polarization direction. After calculating the error between the corresponding complex signal and the transmitted signal, the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is used to implement recursive phase estimation. After phase estimation, the complex error signal sequence in the X and Y polarization directions is restored to the real error signal sequence of the I and Q paths in the X / Y polarization direction to update the weight matrix. Repeat the above process until the phase estimation of all symbols in the signal sequence and the update of the corresponding weight vector are completed. Equalization and phase compensation are performed according to the updated weight matrix and phase estimation results to obtain the recovered signal, which is output after normalization.
