[0050] In polarization-multiplexed coherent optical communication systems, the use of four-dimensional modulation formats can achieve higher spectral efficiency. However, four-dimensional modulated signals face challenges such as inter-polarization crosstalk, IQ imbalance, multi-dimensional nonlinear distortion, and phase noise from irregular constellation points that are difficult to compensate for.
[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 applicable to 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 inter-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, 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 embodiment of the present application 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 performed 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 modulated 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 transmitted 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 initial input signal sequence of the I channel from the X polarization direction and the initial original transmission signal sequence. 、 For example, the normalized expression is:
[0055] ;
[0056] Where k is the sequence 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 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;
[0059] In one achievable method, each target point information is information about target point n in the input signal sequence. For target point selection, the target point information of the input signal sequence can be determined based on the input signal sequence using a sliding window according to a preset sliding distance. The sliding window size is equal to 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 about 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.

[0061] In one possible case, when the target point information is the first target information point, the filter tap coefficient corresponding to the target point information is the initial filter tap coefficient, and the phase information corresponding to the target point information is the initial phase information; the first-order tap coefficient in the initial filter tap coefficient is The middle position of is assigned a value of 1, and other values are set to 0; the initial phase information is determined according to the phase difference between the middle point information of the original transmitted signal sequence and the corresponding position information of the input signal sequence.
[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 an I-path in the X-polarization direction, and the output is also an I-path in the X-polarization direction.
[0063] Here we take the first-order tap coefficient of I path with both input and output in the X polarization direction as 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.

The MIMO nonlinear equalizer is not limited and can be selected by the user based on actual needs. Exemplarily, the MIMO nonlinear equalizer is a MIMO Volterra nonlinear equalizer.
[0068] The balanced output signal is in complex form, including: , n is the target point number corresponding to the target point information. Among them: ; is the balanced output signal in the X polarization direction; is the balanced output signal of the I channel 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 channel I 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;

The signal sequences of the I and Q channels in the X polarization direction and the I and Q channels in the Y polarization direction are calculated. After the real-valued MIMO Volterra series are calculated, they are combined into complex signals in the X / Y polarization directions. After calculating the error between the corresponding complex signals and the transmitted signal, recursive phase estimation is performed using the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. After phase estimation, the complex error signal sequences in the X and Y polarization directions are restored to real error signal sequences in the I and Q paths in the X / Y polarization directions to update the weight matrix. This process is repeated until the phases of all symbols in the signal sequence are estimated and the corresponding weight vectors are updated. Equalization and phase compensation are performed based on the updated weight matrix and phase estimation results to obtain the recovered signal, which is then normalized and output.
