Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of optical communications, and in particular, to a signal transmission method, a communication system, and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] Optical networks are widely used in fields such as the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) and artificial intelligence. The optical network includes multiple optical communication devices. Existing optical communication equipment includes a device board on which a processing chip is packaged. The optical communication equipment also includes an optical module connected to the device board. In order to reduce the power consumption of the optical module, the processing chip compensates the electrical signal to suppress intersymbol interference (ISI). The processing chip sends the compensated electrical signal to the optical module, and the optical module performs electrical-optical conversion on the electrical signal to output an optical signal.

[0003] However, the degree to which the ISI of the electrical signal is suppressed by compensating the electrical signal by the processing chip is limited, which reduces the signal quality of the optical signal output by the optical module, causing the optical signal output by the optical module to be significantly degraded, thereby increasing the bit error rate. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a signal transmission method, a communication system and related equipment. The optoelectronic conversion module and the equipment jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, effectively suppressing ISI, improving the signal quality of the optical signal, and reducing the bit error rate of the optical signal.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a signal transmission method, the method being applied to a communication system, the communication system comprising a device and an optoelectronic conversion module, the method comprising:

[0006] The device or the optoelectronic conversion module allocates a first compensation parameter to the optoelectronic conversion module, the first compensation parameter is less than the link parameter of the transmission link, the link parameter is used to compensate the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, the transmission link includes a first transmission link and a second transmission link, the device includes a processing chip and a connector, the optoelectronic conversion module includes an electro-optical conversion chip, the first transmission link is from the connector to the electro-optical conversion chip, and the second transmission link is from the processing chip to the connector; the device compensates the first electrical signal according to the second compensation parameter to obtain a compensated second electrical signal, and the second compensation parameter is less than the link parameter of the transmission link. Wherein, the device obtains P tap coefficients, the device compensates the first electrical signal according to the P tap coefficients to obtain the second electrical signal, the P tap coefficients correspond to the second compensation parameter, or the device obtains the pre-stored P tap coefficients according to the second compensation parameter. The device sends the second electrical signal to the optoelectronic conversion module; the optoelectronic conversion module compensates the second electrical signal according to the first compensation parameter to obtain a compensated third electrical signal; the optoelectronic conversion module performs electro-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and the optoelectronic conversion module emits the optical signal. The photoelectric conversion module amplifies the high-frequency signal in the second electrical signal and attenuates the low-frequency signal according to the first compensation parameter to obtain a third electrical signal.

[0007] By adopting the method shown in this aspect, the device and the optoelectronic conversion module compensate the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link in a distributed manner, that is, the device compensates for a part of the link parameters (i.e., the second compensation parameter), and the optoelectronic conversion module compensates for another part of the link parameters (i.e., the first compensation parameter). Because the device and the optoelectronic conversion module jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, the burden of the device compensating for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link is reduced, ISI is suppressed, and the signal quality of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module is improved.

[0008] Based on the first aspect, in an optional implementation manner, the device allocates the first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0009] With this implementation, the device allocates a first compensation parameter based on the obtained link parameters, and the optoelectronic conversion module compensates the second electrical signal based on the first compensation parameter from the device, so as to achieve distributed compensation of the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module.

[0010] Based on the first aspect, in an optional implementation, after the device assigns the first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module, the method further includes: the device obtains a first coefficient set from the photoelectric conversion module, the first coefficient set is in a pre-stored list of the photoelectric conversion module, and corresponds to the first compensation parameter, wherein the pre-stored list includes M coefficient sets, the first coefficient set is one of the M coefficient sets, the first coefficient set is used to obtain P tap coefficients, the M and the P are any integers greater than 1, and the first coefficient set is used to compensate the first electrical signal. For example, the first coefficient set includes N tap coefficients, and N is any integer greater than 1. For another example, the first coefficient set includes a first time domain impulse response coefficient. The first time domain impulse response coefficient refers to a time domain response coefficient obtained during the transmission of the electrical signal via the first transmission link. It can be understood that the first time domain impulse response coefficient is related to the hardware of the first transmission link.

[0011] In this implementation, the photoelectric conversion module pre-stores a pre-stored list, which has stored M coefficient sets. The photoelectric conversion module obtains different first coefficient sets for different first compensation parameters according to the pre-stored list, so that the device performs different compensation on the first electrical signal according to different first coefficient sets, so as to suppress ISI to the greatest extent and improve the signal quality of the optical signal.

[0012] Based on the first aspect, in an optional implementation, before the device compensates the first electrical signal according to the second compensation parameter to obtain the compensated second electrical signal, the method includes: the device convolves the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set to obtain a third coefficient set, the second coefficient set corresponds to the second compensation parameter, the second coefficient set is used to obtain P tap coefficients, and the third coefficient set is used to compensate the first electrical signal. For example, the second coefficient set includes P tap coefficients. For another example, the second coefficient set includes a second time domain impulse response coefficient. The second time domain impulse response coefficient refers to the response coefficient of the time domain obtained during the transmission of the electrical signal via the second transmission link. It can be understood that the second time domain impulse response coefficient is related to the hardware of the second transmission link. If the first coefficient set includes the first time domain impulse response coefficient and the second coefficient set includes the second time domain impulse response coefficient, then the convolved third coefficient set includes multiple tap coefficients. The device performs an inverse operation on the third coefficient set to obtain P tap coefficients.

[0013] With this implementation, the third coefficient set is obtained by convolving the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set, thereby improving the signal quality of the second signal obtained by the device compensating the first electrical signal according to the third coefficient set and suppressing ISI.

[0014] Based on the first aspect, in an optional implementation manner, the photoelectric conversion module allocates the first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module.

The processing chip 201 has a TX interface 202, which is connected to a connector 203. The connector 203 is used to provide an electrical interface, which realizes a pluggable electrical connection with the optoelectronic conversion module 210. The optoelectronic conversion module 210 includes a transmission (transport, TX) channel 211. The transmission channel 211 includes a compensation module 212, an electro-optical conversion chip 213 and an output optical fiber 214 connected in sequence. The electro-optical conversion chip 213 performs electro-optical conversion on the electrical signal from the compensation module 212. For example, the electro-optical conversion chip 213 may use a direct modulation laser (DML), an electro-absorption modulated laser (EML), or a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL).For another example, the electro-optical conversion chip 213 may also adopt a structure of a laser and a modulator, and the modulator may be a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) or a micro-ring modulator (MRM).

[0079] based on Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the execution process of the signal transmission method is described below in combination with various embodiments. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the steps of the first embodiment of the signal transmission method provided in the present application.

[0080] Step 301: The device allocates a first compensation parameter to a photoelectric conversion module.

[0081] After the photoelectric conversion module is plugged into the connector of the device and powered on, the device can allocate the first compensation parameter. The following are several optional examples of the device allocating the first compensation parameter:

[0082] Allocation Example 1

[0083] First, the device obtains link parameters.

[0084] Specifically, the optoelectronic conversion module has pre-stored the first link parameters of the first transmission link. Figure 2 As shown, the input end of the first transmission link is the position where the photoelectric conversion module 210 is electrically connected to the connector 203. The output end of the first transmission link is the position where the electro-optical conversion chip 213 is connected to the output optical fiber 214. It should be clear that the description of the first transmission link in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limited. As long as the first transmission link transmits the electrical signal from the device 200, and transmits the optical signal obtained by electro-optical conversion of the electrical signal, and the optical signal can be emitted from the photoelectric conversion module 210 via the first transmission link. The first link parameter can be obtained by testing before the photoelectric conversion module leaves the factory, or by simulating the hardware included in the first transmission link. The hardware included in the first transmission link may include a printed circuit board (PCB), a high-speed signal routing structure, width and thickness of the PCB, etc., which are not specifically limited. In this embodiment, the first link parameter is taken as an example of the insertion loss introduced during the transmission of the signal via the first transmission link. The description of the first link parameter in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limited. For example, the first link parameter can also be a time domain impulse response coefficient or a frequency domain impulse response coefficient. The time domain impulse response coefficient refers to a response coefficient in the time domain obtained during the transmission of the signal via the first transmission link. The frequency domain impulse response coefficient refers to a response coefficient in the frequency domain obtained during the transmission of the signal via the first transmission link.

[0085] The device has pre-stored the second link parameters of the second transmission link. Figure 2 As shown, the input end of the second transmission link is the TX interface 202, and the TX interface 202 is connected to the connector 203 through the communication bus. The output end of the second transmission link is the position where the communication bus is electrically connected to the connector 203. It should be clear that the description of the second transmission link in this embodiment is an optional example, as long as the second transmission link transmits the electrical signal from the processing chip 201 and transmits the electrical signal to the connector 203. For the description of the device storing the second link parameters, please refer to the description of the photoelectric conversion module storing the first link parameters, and no further details are given. For the description of the second link parameters, please refer to the description of the first link parameters, and no further details are given.

[0086] The device obtains the second link parameter from the register of the processing chip 201 and the first link parameter from the register of the optoelectronic conversion module, and the device obtains the link parameter according to the first link parameter and the second link parameter, wherein the link parameter is greater than or equal to the sum of the first link parameter and the second link parameter.

[0087] The description of the way in which the device obtains the link parameters shown in this example is an optional example and is not limited. For example, the device may also pre-store the link parameters. When the device needs to allocate the first compensation parameter, the device directly obtains the stored link parameters.

[0088] Secondly, the device obtains a first compensation parameter according to the link parameter.

[0089] After the device obtains the link parameters, it obtains the first compensation parameters according to the preset allocation ratio. The allocation process is shown in Table 1:

[0090] Table 1

[0091] Allocation ratio corresponding to the first compensation parameter Q1

[0092] Based on what is shown in Table 1, the device obtains a first compensation parameter = link parameter * Q1, where Q1 is any value greater than 0 and less than 1. This embodiment does not limit the specific value of Q1, for example, the value of Q1 is 50%, and for another example, the value of Q1 is 40%. This embodiment uses the value of Q1 of 50% as an example for illustrative explanation. For example, if the device obtains a first compensation parameter of 14 decibels (dB), then the device determines that the first compensation parameter is 7dB. The device sends the first compensation parameter to the optoelectronic conversion module. It can be understood that the first compensation parameter shown in this embodiment is less than the link parameter.

[0093] Allocation Example 2

[0094] This allocation example uses an allocation algorithm to allocate as the first compensation parameter. For the description of how the device in this example obtains the link parameter, please refer to allocation example 1, and the details will not be repeated here.

[0095] First, the photoelectric conversion module obtains the parameters shown in Table 2 to allocate the first compensation parameters.

[0096] Table 2

[0097]

[0098] Specifically, the photoelectric conversion module obtains the maximum compensation link parameter B of the photoelectric conversion module. The photoelectric conversion module obtains the maximum compensation link parameter A of the device TX interface. The photoelectric conversion module obtains the link parameter C. The photoelectric conversion module obtains the first compensation parameter X according to the first allocation algorithm, where X is closest to C*B / (A+B).

[0099] In this embodiment, the optoelectronic conversion module can compensate the electrical signal transmitted by the first transmission link based on the first compensation parameter. Specifically, the optoelectronic conversion module amplifies the high-frequency signal in the electrical signal transmitted by the first transmission link and attenuates the low-frequency signal based on the first compensation parameter, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the first transmission link.

[0100] Step 302: The photoelectric conversion module obtains a first coefficient set.

[0101] After receiving the first compensation parameter, the photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment obtains a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) gear corresponding to the first compensation parameter. Figure 2As shown, the compensation module 212 of the optoelectronic conversion module includes a CTLE. The optoelectronic conversion module compensates the electrical signal from the device through the CTLE. Different gears of the CTLE determine the frequency response (frequency response) of the compensated electrical signal output from the CTLE, which can be referred to as the frequency response or the frequency response curve. The frequency response of an electrical signal refers to the curve of the gain of the electrical signal changing with the frequency. When the optoelectronic conversion module obtains the first compensation parameter, the CTLE gear corresponding to the first compensation parameter can be obtained. For example, when the first compensation parameter is 7dB, the CTLE gear corresponding to the first compensation parameter obtained by the optoelectronic conversion module is 7. This example shows that when the CTLE is configured with the CTLE gear of 7, the CTLE can compensate for the 7dB insertion loss caused by the transmission of the electrical signal by the first transmission link. It should be clear that the description of the specific correspondence between the first compensation parameter and the CTLE gear in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limited, as long as the optoelectronic conversion module has pre-created different correspondences between the first compensation parameters and the CTLE gears. This embodiment does not limit the number of CTLE gears included in the CTLE of the photoelectric conversion module. For example, it may include 11 different CTLE gears.

[0102] When the photoelectric conversion module has obtained the CTLE gear, the corresponding first coefficient set can be obtained by querying the pre-stored list shown in Table 3.

[0103] Table 3

[0104]

[0105]

[0106] The pre-stored list shown in Table 3 creates the CTLE gear of the photoelectric conversion module and the corresponding relationship between different coefficient sets. Among them, the CTLE gear of the photoelectric conversion module corresponds to the first compensation parameter. For example, when the first compensation parameter is 7dB, the CTLE gear of the corresponding photoelectric conversion module in the pre-stored list of Table 3 is 7. This embodiment takes the corresponding first compensation parameter and the CTLE gear as equal values ​​as an example. In other examples, the corresponding first compensation parameter and the CTLE gear may also be different. This embodiment takes the pre-stored list as an example to create the corresponding relationship between different first compensation parameters and coefficient sets through the CTLE gear of the photoelectric conversion module. In other examples, the pre-stored list shown in Table 3 can directly create the corresponding relationship between different first compensation parameters and coefficient sets, which is not limited in this embodiment. The pre-stored list shown in this embodiment includes M coefficient sets. This embodiment takes the value of M as 11 as an example. The value of M is not limited, as long as M is any integer greater than 1.

[0107] Each coefficient set in the pre-stored list includes N tap coefficients. In this embodiment, the value of N is 7 as an example. The specific value of N is not limited as long as N is any integer greater than 1. The forward feedback equalizer (FFE) of the device uses the tap coefficients to compensate the electrical signal to be sent to the optoelectronic conversion module to reduce the ISI caused by the second transmission link. It can be understood that the different coefficient sets shown in Table 3 include different N tap coefficients, and different N tap coefficients can enable the FFE of the device to perform different compensation. For example, when the optoelectronic conversion module shown in this embodiment receives a first compensation parameter (e.g., 7dB), the corresponding first coefficient set is obtained in Table 3. The first coefficient set includes 7 tap coefficients, which are 0.0019, 0.0095, -0.086, 0.6841, 0.1665, 0.0382, and 0.0138, respectively.

[0108] The description of the pre-stored list in this embodiment is an optional example and is not limited thereto. As long as the pre-stored list creates a correspondence between different first compensation parameters and coefficient sets, for example, the pre-stored list shown in this embodiment can be shown in Table 4:

[0109] Table 4

[0110]

[0111] The pre-stored list shown in Table 4 creates a correspondence between the first compensation parameter and the coefficient set at different temperatures. Among them, the first temperature (the ambient temperature of the photoelectric conversion module is currently in a low temperature environment) refers to a temperature between -5 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius. The second temperature (the ambient temperature of the photoelectric conversion module is currently in a normal temperature environment) refers to a temperature between 20 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. The third temperature (the ambient temperature of the photoelectric conversion module is currently in a high temperature environment) refers to above 40 degrees Celsius. The photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment can also integrate a temperature sensor for detecting the ambient temperature of the photoelectric conversion module. If the photoelectric conversion module obtains a first compensation parameter of 7dB, and the ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor is 25 degrees Celsius, then the photoelectric conversion module determines that it is currently at the second temperature shown in Table 4. The photoelectric conversion module obtains the first coefficient set corresponding to the first compensation parameter (7dB) and the ambient temperature (25 degrees Celsius) in the pre-stored list shown in Table 4, which are 0.0019, 0.0095, -0.086, 0.6841, 0.1665, 0.0382, and 0.0138 respectively.

[0112] Since the channel response of the transmission link transmission signal exhibited by the photoelectric conversion module is inconsistent under different ambient temperatures, in order to accurately compensate the signal to reduce the ISI of the transmission link, the photoelectric conversion module obtains a first coefficient set corresponding to the first compensation parameter and the current ambient temperature based on the pre-stored list shown in Table 4. The transmission link includes the first transmission link and the second transmission link shown above.

[0113] After obtaining the first coefficient set, the photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment stores the obtained first coefficient set in the register of the photoelectric conversion module in the data structure shown in Table 5.

[0114] Table 5

[0115] Tap position Tap coefficient TAP1 0.0019 TAP2 0.0095 TAP3 -0.0860 TAP4 0.6841 TAP5 0.1665 TAP6 0.0382 TAP7 0.0138

[0116] It can be understood that Table 5 stores the correspondence between different tap coefficients and corresponding tap positions in the first coefficient set for FFE compensation on the device side. It should be clear that only one Tap among the 7 Taps is the maximum value and is defined as the main tap. The taps before and after the main tap are called pre tap and post tap, respectively. The number of pre tap and post tap can be determined according to the compensation requirements of the transmission link, and there is no mandatory requirement for post tap. The number of pre tap and post tap is equal. Table 5 only uses the example that the pre taps and post taps are equal and both are 3.

[0117] Step 303: The device obtains a first coefficient set from the photoelectric conversion module.

[0118] After the photoelectric conversion module obtains the first coefficient set shown in Table 5, the first coefficient set is written into the register. The device reads the first coefficient set shown in Table 5 from the register of the control chip through the communication bus.

[0119] Step 304: The device obtains a second coefficient set.

[0120] The device shown in this embodiment pre-stores a second coefficient set. The second coefficient set includes P tap coefficients, where P is an arbitrary integer greater than 1. The second coefficient set shown in this embodiment corresponds to a second compensation parameter, which is less than the link parameter shown above. The second coefficient set corresponds to the second compensation parameter, which means that the device compensates the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link according to the P tap coefficients included in the second coefficient set, and can compensate the second compensation parameter for the second transmission link. For example, if the second compensation parameter is an insertion loss and is 7dB, then the device compensates the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link according to the P tap coefficients included in the second coefficient set, and can compensate for the 7dB insertion loss of the second transmission link. The sum of the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter shown in this embodiment is not less than the link parameter. As can be seen from the above description, the first coefficient set includes N tap systems. This embodiment takes the values ​​of N and P as equal as an example. In other examples, the values ​​of N and P may also be different, and there is no specific limitation. This embodiment takes the values ​​of N and P as 7 as an example. For example, the tap coefficients included in the second coefficient set shown in this embodiment are -0.0018, 0.0044, -0.0489, 0.5738, -0.3021, 0.0407, and -0.0284, respectively.

[0121] Step 305: The device obtains a third coefficient set according to the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set.

[0122] When the device obtains the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set, the device convolves the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set, and intercepts the middle P (for example, P=7) tap coefficients as the third coefficient set. For example, the third coefficient set obtained by the device convolving the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set can be shown in Table 6:

[0123] Table 6

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] It can be understood that the third coefficient set obtained by the device includes 7 tap coefficients, namely -0.0015, 0.0181, -0.1304, 0.6310, -0.1792, 0.0019, and -0.0250.

[0127] Step 306: The device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain a compensated second electrical signal.

[0128] The device obtains a first electrical signal to be sent to the optoelectronic conversion module. The present embodiment does not limit the code type of the first electrical signal. For example, the code type of the first electrical signal may be non-return to zero (NRZ), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) 2, PAM4, PAM6, PAM8, phase shift keying (PSK), binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), etc. The present embodiment takes the first electrical signal with a rate of 112 Gbps and a code type of PAM4 as an example.

[0129] When the device has obtained the third coefficient set as shown in Table 6, the first electrical signal is compensated based on the third coefficient set. Specifically, the TX interface of the device includes FFE. The FFE compensates the first electrical signal based on the third coefficient set to obtain a compensated second electrical signal. The first electrical signal will experience high-frequency distortion (phase and amplitude) when transmitted on the second transmission link of the device, and this distortion will cause ISI. FFE can suppress ISI and other distortions caused by compensating the first electrical signal according to the third coefficient set. For example, FFE compensates for channel attenuation in the second transmission link by enhancing the high frequency of the first electrical signal. The third coefficient set shown in this embodiment includes 7 tap coefficients, so FFE has seven inputs, which are seven bits sent sequentially in the first electrical signal. The seven bits input sequentially are vin(n-3), vin(n-2), vin(n-1), vin(n), vin(n+1), vin(n+2) and vin(n+3). FFE adds these seven bits according to a certain weight and outputs them as the second electrical signal. The second electrical signal vout(n)=(C-3)vin(n-3)+(C-2)vin(n-2)+(C-1)vin(n-1)+Cvin(n)+C(n+1)vin(n+1)+C(n+2)vin(n+2)+C(n+3)vin(n+3). Wherein, C-3 refers to the tap coefficient corresponding to the tap position TAP1 in Table 6, i.e. -0.0015, C-2 refers to the tap coefficient corresponding to the tap position TAP2 in Table 6, i.e. 0.0181, and so on, C+3 refers to the tap coefficient corresponding to the tap position TAP7 in Table 6, i.e. -0.0250.

[0130] Step 307: The device sends a second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0131] The TX interface of the device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain a second electrical signal, and the TX interface sends the second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module through the connector.

[0132] Step 308: The photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a compensated third electrical signal.

[0133] As can be seen from the description of step 302, the photoelectric conversion module has configured the CTLE gear according to the first coefficient set. Then, the CTLE with the configured CTLE gear can compensate the second electrical signal to obtain the third electrical signal. For the description of CTLE compensation based on the gear, please refer to step 302, and the details will not be repeated.

[0134] Step 309: The optoelectronic conversion module performs electrical-to-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and emits the optical signal.

[0135] Continue to see Figure 2 As shown, the compensation module 212 compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a third electrical signal, and sends the third electrical signal to the electro-optical conversion chip 213. The electro-optical conversion chip 213 performs electro-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal. The electro-optical conversion chip 213 sends the optical signal to the output optical fiber 214, and the optical signal is output from the optoelectronic conversion module 210 via the output optical fiber.

[0136] Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the device allocates the first compensation parameter according to the link parameter of the transmission link as an example, and the specifics are not limited. For example, the device may also directly allocate the first compensation parameter according to the second link parameter of the second transmission link of the device.

[0137] First, the device obtains a second link parameter (eg, 12 dB) of a second transmission link.

[0138] Then, the device allocates the first compensation parameter (e.g., 5dB) to the optoelectronic conversion module according to the second link parameter. It can be understood that the device directly allocates the first compensation parameter according to its own second link parameter (e.g., 12dB) to ensure that the first compensation parameter is less than the second link parameter. It can be understood that if the device compensates for the insertion loss of 12dB of the second transmission link alone, the burden is heavy, which increases the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link. For this reason, the device adopts a distributed compensation method to reduce the insertion loss compensated by the device. In this example, the device makes the optoelectronic conversion module share 5dB of 12dB, and the device shares 7dB of 12dB, which effectively reduces the burden of the device compensating the second transmission link and improves the signal quality.

[0139] Then, the photoelectric conversion module reads the register to obtain a first compensation parameter that the photoelectric conversion module needs to compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the first transmission link.

[0140] Then, the photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal according to the first compensation parameter to obtain a third electrical signal. The process of the photoelectric conversion module compensating the second electrical signal according to the first compensation parameter is shown in the above step 308, and will not be described in detail.

[0141] Optionally, if the optoelectronic conversion module itself needs to compensate the electrical signal transmitted by the first transmission link with a third compensation parameter (e.g., 1 dB), the optoelectronic conversion module obtains a fourth compensation parameter based on the first compensation parameter and the third compensation parameter, and the fourth compensation parameter is the sum of the first compensation parameter and the fourth compensation parameter. For example, the fourth compensation parameter shown in this example is 5dB+1dB=6dB. The 5dB (i.e., the first compensation parameter) is the parameter that the optoelectronic conversion module compensates for the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link of the device, and the 1dB (i.e., the third compensation parameter) is the parameter that the optoelectronic conversion module itself needs to compensate for the electrical signal.

[0142] Then, the photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal according to the fourth compensation parameter to obtain a third electrical signal. For the process of the photoelectric conversion module compensating the second electrical signal according to the fourth compensation parameter, please refer to the process of the photoelectric conversion module compensating the second electrical signal according to the first compensation parameter shown in the above step 308, and the details are not repeated here.

[0143] The device shown in this embodiment can be equipped with multiple photoelectric conversion modules, each of which can include multiple TX channels. The process of performing signal transmission between each TX channel of each photoelectric conversion module and the device can be referred to in Figure 3 As shown, the details are not repeated here.

[0144] By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, in order to compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link (including the first transmission link and the second transmission link), the device obtains the link parameters required for compensating the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, and distributes the first compensation parameter to the optoelectronic conversion module by means of distributed compensation. Based on the distributed compensation method, the device and the optoelectronic conversion module jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link. Moreover, the optoelectronic conversion module has pre-stored a plurality of coefficient sets, and the optoelectronic conversion module sends the first coefficient set to the device according to the first compensation parameter, the device obtains the second coefficient set, and convolves the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set to obtain the third coefficient set. The FFE of the device is compensated by the third coefficient set, which effectively reduces the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link and improves the signal quality.

[0145] Because the distributed compensation method is used for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link as shown in this embodiment, that is, the compensation of the electrical signal transmitted by the first transmission link by the optoelectronic conversion module and the compensation of the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link by the device, the signal quality of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module is effectively improved, and ISI is effectively suppressed, ensuring that the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module meets the requirements of relevant standards, such as the index requirements defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The method shown in this embodiment can effectively improve the transmitter dispersion eye closure cost (transmitter and dispersion eye closure for PAM4, TDECQ) index of the optical signal emitted by the optoelectronic conversion module. In this example, the output optical fiber can be connected to an optical eye diagram instrument. The optical eye diagram instrument receives the optical signal from the optoelectronic conversion module through the output optical fiber, and simulates the optical signal to obtain the TDECQ index and the corresponding eye diagram. The following is explained in conjunction with Table 7:

[0146] Table 7

[0147]

[0148] The tap systems of the third coefficient set obtained by the method shown in this embodiment are -0.0015, 0.0181, -0.1304, 0.6310, -0.1792, 0.0019, -0.0250 (as shown in Table 6). When both the device and the optoelectronic conversion module compensate for the electrical signal, the TDECQ index obtained by the optical eye diagram simulation is 1.05. The IEEE802.3 specification requires TDECQ<3.4, ​​so the method shown in this embodiment is used to make the TDECQ index of the optical signal meet the IEEE802.3 specification requirements. In the existing scheme, only the device compensates for the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link, and the optoelectronic conversion module only performs electrical-optical conversion on the electrical signal from the device to output the optical signal. The optical eye diagram simulates the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module in the existing scheme and obtains a TDECQ index of 3.7. It can be seen that the TDECQ index of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module in the existing scheme does not meet the IEEE802.3 specification requirements. It can be understood that the method shown in this embodiment effectively improves the TDECQ index compared with the existing solution, that is, effectively improves the signal quality of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module shown in this embodiment.

[0149] The method shown in this embodiment can effectively improve the communication system (for example Figure 1The signal quality of the optical signal emitted by the first communication system) is improved, and the second communication system as the receiving side receives the optical signal from the first communication system, which effectively avoids the situation in which the second communication system causes serious bit errors or interruption of the service carried by the optical signal due to the deterioration of the signal quality of the optical signal.

[0150] Figure 4 This is an example diagram comparing the eye diagram of the optical signal emitted by the photoelectric conversion module provided in the present application with the eye diagram of the optical signal emitted by the photoelectric conversion module provided by the existing solution. The optical eye diagram instrument receives the optical signal output by the photoelectric conversion module shown in the existing solution to obtain a first eye diagram 401. The horizontal axis of the first eye diagram 401 is time, and the vertical axis is voltage amplitude. The optical eye diagram instrument receives the optical signal using the solution shown in this embodiment to obtain a second eye diagram 402. The first eye diagram 401 has a first eye opening (Eye opening) 403, and the second eye diagram 402 has a second eye opening 404. Figure 4 As shown, the first eye opening 403 is smaller than the second eye opening 404. The opening of the eye diagram reflects the noise on the signal, that is, the size of the opening of the "eye" of the eye diagram reflects the strength of the ISI. The larger the "eye" is opened and the more positive the eye diagram is, the smaller the ISI is, and vice versa. By comparing the first eye diagram 401 and the second eye diagram 402, it can be seen that the method shown in this embodiment effectively improves the eye opening of the eye diagram relative to the existing photoelectric conversion module, and the eye diagram morphology is more correct, which effectively reduces the ISI and improves the signal quality of the optical signal emitted by the photoelectric conversion module.

[0151] go through Figure 3In the embodiment shown, it is hoped that the amplitude-frequency response curve (the horizontal axis is frequency and the vertical axis is amplitude) of the optical signal emitted by the optoelectronic conversion module is a flat straight line, that is, the amplitude of the output optical signal at each frequency point is the same or approximately the same. However, considering the influence of factors such as dispersion, multipath interference (MPI), or nonlinearity during the transmission of the optical signal emitted by the optoelectronic conversion module through the optical fiber, in order to make the optical signal have good quality in the receiving side optoelectronic conversion module, such as having a lower bit error rate, the device can obtain the corresponding insertion loss (i.e., the third link parameter) according to the characteristics of the optoelectronic conversion module and / or the link characteristics of the optical fiber, and obtain multiple tap coefficients corresponding to the third link parameter. The device convolves the third coefficient set with multiple tap coefficients corresponding to the third link parameter to obtain multiple target tap coefficients. The device compensates the first electrical signal according to the target tap coefficient to obtain the second electrical signal. In this example, the amplitude-frequency response curve of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module is not a flat straight line. The amplitude-frequency response curve is in a non-linear state, which can compensate for the dispersion, MPI, and nonlinearity of the optical signal during the transmission of the optical fiber, and improve the quality of the optical signal received by the optoelectronic conversion module on the receiving side.

[0152] Figure 3 In the example shown, the first coefficient set includes N tap coefficients, and the second coefficient set includes P tap coefficients, and the device obtains P tap coefficients for compensation according to the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the device obtains the tap coefficients for compensating the electrical signal in a manner different from that in Figure 3 The embodiment shown. Wherein, Figure 5 This is a flow chart of the steps of the second embodiment of the signal transmission method provided in the present application.

[0153] Step 501: The device allocates a first compensation parameter to a photoelectric conversion module.

[0154] The execution process of step 501 shown in this embodiment can also be seen in Figure 3 The corresponding step is shown in step 301 and will not be described in detail.

[0155] Step 502: The photoelectric conversion module obtains a first time-domain impulse response coefficient.

[0156] After receiving the first compensation parameter, the photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment obtains a first coefficient set corresponding to the first compensation parameter. The first coefficient set shown in this embodiment includes a first time-domain impulse response coefficient. Specifically, the photoelectric conversion module has pre-created a correspondence between different first compensation parameters and unused first coefficient sets. Then, after the photoelectric conversion module receives the first compensation parameter from the device, the corresponding first coefficient set can be obtained. The first time-domain impulse response coefficient included in the first coefficient set is described below:

[0157] The photoelectric conversion module first obtains the frequency domain parameters corresponding to the first transmission link when transmitting electrical signals at different frequency points. The frequency domain parameters include amplitude-frequency response parameters and phase-frequency response parameters. The frequency domain parameters can be obtained through simulation or testing based on the hardware of the first transmission link (such as the PCB board material included in the first transmission link, the routing structure, width, thickness, etc. of the high-speed signal line included in the first transmission link). Specifically, the photoelectric conversion module stores frequency domain parameters corresponding to more than 100 frequency points. In the case where the photoelectric conversion module obtains the first compensation parameter, the photoelectric conversion module obtains the frequency domain parameters corresponding to the first compensation parameter, and performs an inverse Fourier transform on the frequency domain parameters corresponding to the first compensation parameter to obtain the first time domain pulse response coefficient. Optionally, the photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment can also directly store the correspondence between the first compensation parameter and the first time domain pulse response coefficient. Then, in the case where the photoelectric conversion module obtains the first compensation parameter, the first time domain pulse response coefficient corresponding to the first compensation parameter is directly obtained.

[0158] Step 503: The device obtains a first time-domain impulse response coefficient from the photoelectric conversion module.

[0159] The photoelectric conversion module calculates the first time domain pulse response coefficient, writes the first time domain pulse response coefficient into the register, and reads the first time domain pulse response coefficient from the register of the control chip through the communication bus.

[0160] Step 504: The device obtains a third coefficient set according to the first time-domain impulse response coefficient and the second time-domain impulse response coefficient.

[0161] The device obtains a second time domain pulse response coefficient. The second time domain pulse response coefficient shown in this embodiment is obtained through simulation or testing based on the hardware of the second transmission link (such as the PCB board material included in the second transmission link, the routing structure, width, thickness, etc. of the high-speed signal line included in the second transmission link). For example, the device can obtain the frequency domain parameters of the second transmission link. For the description of the frequency domain parameters of the second transmission link, please refer to the description of the frequency domain parameters of the first transmission link, and the details are not repeated here. The device then performs an inverse Fourier transform on the frequency domain parameters of the second transmission link to obtain the second time domain pulse response coefficient. For another example, the register of the device directly stores the second time domain pulse response coefficient. When executing this step, the device directly reads the second time domain pulse response coefficient from the register.

[0162] When the device obtains the first time domain impulse response coefficient and the second time domain impulse response coefficient, the device convolves the first time domain impulse response coefficient and the second time domain impulse response coefficient, and solves the inverse thereof to obtain a fourth coefficient set. The fourth coefficient set may include multiple tap coefficients. The device may also perform length truncation processing on the fourth coefficient set to obtain a third coefficient set, so that the third coefficient set includes P tap coefficients in the fourth coefficient set. The truncation principle is: 1. If P tap coefficients are required to compensate the second transmission link, P tap coefficients are truncated from the fourth coefficient set, and the P tap coefficients are continuous coefficients in the fourth coefficient set. 2. The tap coefficient located at the center position among the P tap coefficients is the maximum value in the fourth coefficient set.

[0163] Step 505: The device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain a compensated second electrical signal.

[0164] Step 506: The device sends a second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0165] Step 507: The photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a compensated third electrical signal.

[0166] Step 508: The optoelectronic conversion module performs electrical-to-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and emits the optical signal.

[0167] For the execution process of steps 505 to 508 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding steps 306 to 309 are shown and will not be described in detail.

[0168] By using the method shown in this embodiment, the device can calculate the third coefficient set based on the second time domain pulse response coefficient stored in the device and the first time domain pulse response coefficient from the photoelectric conversion module. The device compensates the first electrical signal according to the third coefficient set to obtain the second electrical signal, effectively reducing the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link and improving the signal quality.

[0169] exist Figure 3 In the corresponding embodiment, the photoelectric conversion module returns only the first coefficient set to the device according to the first compensation parameter. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the photoelectric conversion module can return a first coefficient set and parameters for compensating for the nonlinear characteristics of the transmission link to the device according to the first compensation parameter. Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the steps of the third embodiment of the signal transmission method provided in the present application.

[0170] Step 601: The device allocates a first compensation parameter to a photoelectric conversion module.

[0171] Step 602: The photoelectric conversion module obtains a first coefficient set.

[0172] For the specific execution process of step 601 to step 602 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown in step 301 to step 302, the details are not repeated here.

[0173] Step 603: The photoelectric conversion module obtains nonlinear parameters.

[0174] In this embodiment, when the optoelectronic conversion module obtains the first compensation parameter, it can obtain a nonlinear parameter corresponding to the first compensation parameter, and the nonlinear parameter is related to the nonlinear characteristics of the transmission link. Among them, the nonlinear characteristic will increase the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, and the nonlinear characteristic can be introduced by the electro-optical conversion chip of the electro-optical conversion module to perform electro-optical conversion. Specifically, the nonlinear parameter can be a level adjustment (Level_shift) parameter or a pattern dependent lookup table (PD_LUT) parameter, etc. In this embodiment, the nonlinear parameter can be a Level_shift parameter as an example. It should be clear that this embodiment does not limit the type of nonlinear parameter. See Table 8 for details:

[0175] Table 8

[0176]

[0177]

[0178] It can be understood that the photoelectric conversion module creates a correspondence between the CTLE gear of the photoelectric conversion module, the coefficient set and the Level_shift parameter based on the list shown in Table 8. For example, if the photoelectric conversion module obtains that the CTLE gear of the photoelectric conversion module corresponding to the first compensation parameter is 7, then the Level_shift parameters corresponding to the CTLE gear 7 are 0.1 and -0.1. The description of the coefficient set shown in this embodiment can be found in Figure 3 or Figure 5 The corresponding embodiments are not described in detail.

[0179] Step 604: The device obtains a first coefficient set and a nonlinear parameter from the photoelectric conversion module.

[0180] After the photoelectric conversion module obtains the first coefficient set and the nonlinear parameters, the first coefficient set and the nonlinear parameters are written into the register of the photoelectric conversion module. The device reads the first coefficient set and the nonlinear parameters from the register of the photoelectric conversion module through the communication bus.

[0181] Step 605: The device obtains a second coefficient set.

[0182] Step 606: The device obtains a third coefficient set according to the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set.

[0183] For the execution process of step 605 to step 606 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding steps 304 to 305 are shown, and the specific execution process is not repeated here.

[0184] Step 607: The device obtains updated transmission signal level parameters.

[0185] After the device obtains the Level_shift parameter from the photoelectric conversion module, it can update the stored original transmission signal level parameter to obtain the updated transmission signal level parameter, as shown in Table 9:

[0186] Table 9

[0187] Original transmission signal level parameters Updated transmit signal level parameters +3 +3 +1 0.9 -1 -0.9 -3 -3

[0188] In this embodiment, the code type of the first electrical signal emitted by the device is PAM4 as an example. It can be known from the original transmission signal level parameter that the level of the first electrical signal can be +3, +1, -1 and -3. After receiving the Level_shift parameter, the device updates the level of the first electrical signal to +3, 0.9, -0.9 and -3 respectively according to the Level_shift parameter. Then, the device updates the level of the first electrical signal from +3, +1, -1 and -3 to +3, 0.9, -0.9 and -3.

[0189] Step 608: The device performs nonlinear compensation on the first electrical signal according to the updated transmission signal level parameter to obtain an updated first electrical signal.

[0190] The device shown in this embodiment performs nonlinear compensation on the level of the first electrical signal according to the updated transmission signal level parameter to obtain an updated first electrical signal. For example, the level +1 in the first electrical signal is updated to the level 0.9 in the updated first electrical signal. For details, see Table 9, which will not be described in detail.

[0191] Step 609: The device compensates the updated first electrical signal to obtain a compensated second electrical signal.

[0192] For the execution process of step 609 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding step is shown in step 306 and will not be described in detail.

[0193] In this embodiment, the device first performs nonlinear compensation on the first electrical signal based on Table 9 to obtain an updated first electrical signal, and then compensates the updated first electrical signal based on the FFE of the device to obtain a compensated second electrical signal. In other examples, the device may also first compensate the first electrical signal based on FFE to obtain a second electrical signal, and then perform nonlinear compensation on the second electrical signal based on Table 9 to obtain an updated second electrical signal.

[0194] Step 610: The device sends a second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0195] Step 611: The photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a compensated third electrical signal.

[0196] Step 612: The optoelectronic conversion module performs electrical-to-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and emits the optical signal.

[0197] For a description of the execution process of steps 610 to 612 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding steps 307 to 309 are shown and will not be described in detail.

[0198] The device shown in this embodiment can be equipped with multiple photoelectric conversion modules, each of which can include multiple TX channels. The process of performing signal transmission between each TX channel of each photoelectric conversion module and the device can be referred to in Figure 6 As shown, the details are not repeated here.

[0199] By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the device can perform nonlinear compensation on the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link based on the nonlinear parameters from the optoelectronic conversion module, thereby effectively suppressing the ISI of the transmission link and improving the signal quality of the optical signal emitted by the optoelectronic conversion module.

[0200] exist Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, in order to realize the distributed compensation of the transmission link by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module, the optoelectronic conversion module needs to store a large amount of data as shown in Table 3 or Table 4, which occupies a large amount of space resources of the optoelectronic conversion module register. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, when the device and the optoelectronic conversion module perform distributed compensation on the transmission link, the space resources occupied by the optoelectronic conversion module register are effectively reduced, and the time consumed by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module to execute the signal transmission method is reduced. Figure 7 This is a flowchart of the steps of the fourth embodiment of the signal transmission method provided in the present application.

[0201] Step 701: The device allocates a first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module, and allocates a second compensation parameter to the device.

[0202] The device shown in this embodiment needs to allocate not only the first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module, but also the second compensation parameter to the device. The specific allocation example is as follows:

[0203] Allocation Example 1

[0204] First, the device obtains link parameters. For instructions on how the device in this embodiment obtains link parameters, see Figure 3 The corresponding step is shown in step 301 and will not be described in detail.

[0205] Secondly, the device obtains a first compensation parameter and a second compensation parameter according to the link parameter.

[0206] After the device obtains the link parameters, it obtains the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter according to the preset allocation ratio. The allocation process is shown in Table 10:

[0207] Table 10

[0208] Allocation ratio corresponding to the first compensation parameter Allocation ratio corresponding to the second compensation parameter Q1 Q2

[0209] Based on what is shown in Table 10, the device obtains a first compensation parameter = link parameter * Q1, a second compensation parameter = link parameter * Q2, Q1 + Q2 = 1. This embodiment does not limit the specific values ​​of Q1 and Q2. For example, Q1 and Q2 both take a value of 50%. For another example, Q1 takes a value of 40%, and Q2 takes a value of 60%. This embodiment uses the example of Q1 and Q2 both taking a value of 50% for illustrative purposes. For example, if the device obtains a first compensation parameter of 14 decibels (dB), then the device determines that the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter are both 7dB. The device sends the first compensation parameter to the optoelectronic conversion module. It can be understood that the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter shown in this embodiment are both less than the link parameter.

[0210] Allocation Example 2

[0211] This allocation example uses an allocation algorithm to allocate the link parameters as the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter. For the description of how the device shown in this example obtains the link parameters, please refer to allocation example 1, and the details are not repeated here.

[0212] First, the photoelectric conversion module obtains the parameters shown in Table 2. Specifically, the photoelectric conversion module obtains a first compensation parameter X according to a first allocation algorithm, where X is closest to C*B / (A+B). The photoelectric conversion module obtains a second compensation parameter Y according to a second allocation algorithm, where Y=CX. The description of the allocation algorithm in this example is an optional example and is not limited.

[0213] In this embodiment, the device can compensate the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link based on the second compensation parameter. Specifically, the device amplifies the high-frequency signal in the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link and attenuates the low-frequency signal based on the second compensation parameter to achieve the purpose of suppressing the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the second transmission link.

[0214] It should be clear that after the device obtains the first compensation parameter, it sends the first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module. After the device obtains the second compensation parameter, it stores the second compensation parameter in the register of the processing chip. This embodiment does not limit the timing of the device sending the first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module and storing the second compensation parameter in the register of the processing chip.

[0215] Step 702: The device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain a compensated second electrical signal.

[0216] In this embodiment, the device has created a correspondence between different second compensation parameters and second coefficient sets. In this embodiment, the second coefficient set includes N tap coefficients as an example. For a description of the second coefficient set including N tap coefficients, see Figure 3 The corresponding embodiments are not described in detail. The device shown in this embodiment can store the corresponding relationship shown in Table 11:

[0217] Table 11

[0218]

[0219] When the device obtains the second compensation parameter of 7dB, the corresponding second coefficient set includes tap coefficients of 0.0019, 0.0095, -0.086, 0.6841, 0.1665, 0.0382, and 0.0138. Then, the FFE of the device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain the second electrical signal according to the second coefficient set corresponding to the second compensation parameter. For the specific process of the device compensating the first electrical signal to obtain the second electrical signal according to the second coefficient set corresponding to the second compensation parameter, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding process of the device shown in step 306 compensating the first electrical signal according to the third coefficient set to obtain the second signal is not described in detail.

[0220] Step 703: The device sends a second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0221] For the execution process of step 703 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding step is shown in step 307 and will not be described in detail.

[0222] Step 704: The photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a compensated third electrical signal.

[0223] The photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment configures the gear of the CTLE according to the first compensation parameter. Then, the CTLE with the configured CTLE gear can compensate the second electrical signal to obtain the third electrical signal. For the description of the compensation of the CTLE based on the gear, please refer to step 302 and step 308, and the details will not be repeated.

[0224] Step 705: The optoelectronic conversion module performs electrical-to-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and emits the optical signal.

[0225] For the execution process of step 705 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding step is shown in step 309 and will not be described in detail.

[0226] The device shown in this embodiment can be equipped with multiple photoelectric conversion modules, each of which can include multiple TX channels. The process of performing signal transmission between each TX channel of each photoelectric conversion module and the device can be referred to in Figure 7 As shown, the details are not repeated here.

[0227] By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the distributed compensation of the transmission link by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module can be realized, the signal quality of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module is effectively improved, and the ISI is effectively suppressed. In addition, during the compensation process, the optoelectronic conversion module does not need to store too much data, which reduces the space resources occupied by the optoelectronic conversion module register. The optoelectronic conversion module directly compensates the second electrical signal according to the first compensation parameter from the device, and the device directly compensates the first electrical signal according to the second compensation parameter, which reduces the time consumed by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module to execute the signal transmission method.

[0228] The above embodiment takes the device being responsible for allocating the first compensation parameter as an example. In the following embodiment, the photoelectric conversion module is responsible for allocating the first compensation parameter. Figure 8 The second embodiment of the communication system provided by the present application is shown in the structure diagram. The communication system 800 shown in this embodiment includes a device 805 and one or more photoelectric conversion modules 810. The device 805 has packaged a processing chip 801, a computing unit 804 and a connector 803. For the description of the processing chip 801 and the connector 803, please refer to Figure 2 The corresponding description is not repeated here. The computing unit 804 is connected to the processing chip 801. For the description of the type of the computing unit 804 shown in this embodiment, please refer to the description of the type of the processing chip 801. Optionally, the processing chip 801 can integrate the computing unit 804. The photoelectric conversion module 810 includes a TX channel 811. The transmission channel 811 includes a compensation module 812, an electro-optical conversion chip 813, and an output optical fiber 814 connected in sequence.

The photoelectric conversion module 810 also includes a control chip 815 connected to the compensation module 812, the electro-optical conversion chip 813 and the calculation unit 804 respectively. Optionally, the control chip 815 can integrate the compensation module 812. For the description of the type of the control chip 815, please refer to the description of the type of the processing chip 801, which is not repeated in detail.

[0229] It can be understood that the photoelectric conversion module shown in this embodiment includes a control chip 815, and the photoelectric conversion module implements the allocation of the first compensation parameter based on the control chip 815. For the specific execution process, see Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 This is a flowchart of the steps of the fifth embodiment of the signal transmission method provided in the present application.

[0230] Step 901: The photoelectric conversion module allocates a first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0231] After the photoelectric conversion module is plugged into the connector of the device and powered on, the control chip of the photoelectric conversion module can obtain the link parameters and allocate the first compensation parameters according to the link parameters. For a description of the link parameters, see Figure 3 The corresponding step 301 is shown, and the details are not repeated here. For example, the computing unit of the device reads the second link parameter from the register of the processing chip and sends it to the control chip of the photoelectric conversion module through the communication bus. The control chip obtains the first link parameter stored in the register. The control chip can obtain the link parameter according to the first link parameter and the second link parameter. For instructions on how the control chip of the photoelectric conversion module allocates the first compensation parameter according to the link parameter, please refer to Figure 3 The description of the device allocating the first compensation parameter shown in the corresponding step 301 is not described in detail.

[0232] Step 902: The photoelectric conversion module obtains a first coefficient set.

[0233] For the execution process of step 902 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding step is shown in step 302 and will not be described in detail.

[0234] Step 903: The photoelectric conversion module obtains a second coefficient set from the device.

[0235] For a description of the second coefficient set shown in this embodiment, see Figure 3 The corresponding step 304 is shown, and the details are not repeated here. In this embodiment, the calculation unit reads the second coefficient set from the register of the processing chip, and sends the second coefficient set to the control chip of the photoelectric conversion module through the communication bus.

[0236] Step 904: The photoelectric conversion module obtains a third coefficient set according to the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set.

[0237] When the photoelectric conversion module obtains the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set, the photoelectric conversion module convolves the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set to obtain a third coefficient set. For an explanation of the photoelectric conversion module obtaining the third coefficient set shown in this embodiment, see Figure 3 The description of the device obtaining the third coefficient set shown in the corresponding step 305 is not repeated in detail.

[0238] Step 905: The device obtains a third coefficient set from the photoelectric conversion module.

[0239] The control chip of the photoelectric conversion module stores the third coefficient set in the register and sends the third coefficient set to the calculation unit through the communication bus. The processing chip of the device reads the third coefficient set from the calculation unit.

[0240] The device shown in this embodiment can also obtain nonlinear parameters from the photoelectric conversion module. For a description of the linear parameters and a description of the nonlinear compensation performed by the device according to the nonlinear parameters, please refer to Figure 6 The corresponding instructions are not elaborated in detail.

[0241] In this embodiment, the first coefficient set includes N tap coefficients and the second coefficient set includes P tap coefficients. Then, the third coefficient set is obtained by convolving the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set. The third coefficient set includes P tap coefficients. For the specific process, please refer to Figure 3 Optionally, the first coefficient set includes a first time domain impulse response coefficient, the second coefficient set includes a second time domain impulse response coefficient, and the photoelectric conversion module convolves the first time domain impulse response coefficient and the second time domain impulse response coefficient to obtain a third coefficient set. For details, see Figure 5 The device shown is a description of a process of obtaining a corresponding third coefficient set according to the first time-domain impulse response coefficient and the second time-domain impulse response coefficient, and the details are not repeated here.

[0242] Step 906: The device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain a compensated second electrical signal.

[0243] Step 907: The device sends a second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0244] Step 908: The photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a compensated third electrical signal.

[0245] Step 909: The optoelectronic conversion module performs electrical-to-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and emits the optical signal.

[0246] For a description of the execution process of steps 906 to 909 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The corresponding steps 306 to 309 are shown and will not be described in detail.

[0247] The device shown in this embodiment can be equipped with multiple photoelectric conversion modules, each of which can include multiple TX channels. The process of performing signal transmission between each TX channel of each photoelectric conversion module and the device can be referred to in Fig. 9 As shown, the details are not repeated here.

[0248] The method shown in this embodiment is used to compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link (including the first transmission link and the second transmission link). The optoelectronic conversion module obtains the link parameters required for compensating the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, and distributes the first compensation parameter to the optoelectronic conversion module in a distributed compensation manner. Based on the distributed compensation method, the device and the optoelectronic conversion module jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link. In addition, the optoelectronic conversion module obtains the second coefficient set from the device, and convolves the first coefficient set and the second coefficient set to obtain the third coefficient set. The optoelectronic conversion module then sends the coefficient set to the device, and the FFE of the device is compensated by the third coefficient set, which effectively reduces the ISI of the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link and improves the signal quality.

[0249] For example, X photoelectric conversion modules are inserted into the device, and this example takes the value of X as 128. If the device is responsible for allocating the first compensation parameter for the 128 photoelectric conversion modules, the device needs to perform serial calculations for the 128 photoelectric conversion modules to achieve the allocation of the first compensation parameter. For example, the device performs calculations for the first photoelectric conversion module among the 128 photoelectric conversion modules to achieve the purpose of allocating the first compensation parameter for the first photoelectric conversion module, and the device and the first photoelectric conversion module jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link. Then, the device performs calculations for the second photoelectric conversion module among the 128 photoelectric conversion modules to achieve the purpose of allocating the first compensation parameter for the second photoelectric conversion module, and the device and the second photoelectric conversion module jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, and so on, until the device performs calculations for the last photoelectric conversion module among the 128 photoelectric conversion modules to achieve the purpose of allocating the first compensation parameter for the last photoelectric conversion module. It can be understood that the device greatly reduces the calculation efficiency of allocating the first compensation parameter to the device and the 128 photoelectric conversion modules through serial calculation for the 128 photoelectric conversion modules, and increases the time required for the 128 photoelectric conversion modules to emit light signals.

[0250] By adopting the method shown in the present embodiment, each of the 128 photoelectric conversion modules independently allocates the first compensation parameter for calculation. In this way, the serial calculation of the 128 photoelectric conversion modules in the device shown in the above example is changed to the parallel calculation of the 128 photoelectric conversion modules shown in the present embodiment. The method shown in the present embodiment greatly improves the calculation efficiency of allocating the first compensation parameter and reduces the time required for the 128 photoelectric conversion modules to emit light signals.

[0251] exist Fig. 9In the embodiment shown, in order to realize the compensation of the transmission link by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module, the optoelectronic conversion module needs to store a large amount of data as shown in Table 3 or Table 4, which occupies a large amount of space resources of the register of the optoelectronic conversion module. Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, when the device and the optoelectronic conversion module jointly compensate for the electrical signal transmitted by the transmission link, the space resources occupied by the register of the optoelectronic conversion module are effectively reduced, and the time consumed by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module to execute the signal transmission method is reduced. Fig.10 This is a flowchart of the sixth embodiment of the signal transmission method provided in the present application.

[0252] Step 1001: The photoelectric conversion module allocates a first compensation parameter to the photoelectric conversion module and allocates a second compensation parameter to the device.

[0253] For a description of the execution process of step 1001 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Fig. 9 The corresponding step is shown in step 901 and will not be described in detail.

[0254] Step 1002: The device compensates the first electrical signal to obtain a compensated second electrical signal.

[0255] Step 1003: The device sends a second electrical signal to the photoelectric conversion module.

[0256] Step 1004: The photoelectric conversion module compensates the second electrical signal to obtain a compensated third electrical signal.

[0257] Step 1005: The optoelectronic conversion module performs electrical-to-optical conversion on the third electrical signal to obtain an optical signal, and emits the optical signal.

[0258] For the execution process of steps 1002 to 1005 shown in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The corresponding steps 702 to 705 are shown and will not be described in detail.

[0259] The device shown in this embodiment can be equipped with multiple photoelectric conversion modules, each of which can include multiple TX channels. The process of performing signal transmission between each TX channel of each photoelectric conversion module and the device can be referred to in Fig.10 As shown, the details are not repeated here.

[0260] By adopting the method shown in this embodiment, the distributed compensation of the transmission link by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module can be realized, the signal quality of the optical signal output by the optoelectronic conversion module is effectively improved, and the ISI is effectively suppressed. Moreover, during the compensation process, the optoelectronic conversion module does not need to store too much data, which reduces the space resources occupied by the optoelectronic conversion module register, and the optoelectronic conversion module directly compensates the second electrical signal according to the first compensation parameter from the device, and the device directly compensates the first electrical signal according to the second compensation parameter, which reduces the time consumed by the device and the optoelectronic conversion module to execute the signal transmission method. In the method shown in this embodiment, the optoelectronic conversion module allocates the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter, which improves the calculation efficiency of allocating the first compensation parameter and the second compensation parameter, and reduces the time required for the optoelectronic conversion module included in the communication system to emit the optical signal.

[0261] The structure of the photoelectric conversion module provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below. The photoelectric conversion module can be a single-channel emission module. Figure 2 or Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , the photoelectric conversion module only includes the TX channel.
