The invention provides a blind
carrier phase recovery method and
system for
optical fiber communication, and the method comprises the steps: firstly grouping
QAM symbol streams at a transmitting end, and inserting a reference
pilot frequency with a specific fixed amplitude for each symbol group according to a quadrant where a first symbol is located; at a receiving end, after preliminary blind
carrier phase estimation is completed, an original quadrant corresponding to the reference
pilot frequency is identified by using a minimum
Euclidean distance detection mechanism, and then the original quadrant is compared with an actual quadrant position of the
pilot frequency in a received
signal, so that a phase
ambiguity offset taking 90 degrees as a cardinal number is analyzed; and performing
phase correction on the corresponding symbol groups accordingly. According to the method, quadruple
rotational symmetry limitation of a traditional
constellation diagram is effectively broken through by means of
amplitude modulation coding, and
fixed angle phase deviation occurring in the blind phase
recovery process can be accurately identified and corrected. According to the method, error code
diffusion caused by phase
ambiguity can be remarkably suppressed, the
transmission performance of the
system in the aspects of the error rate, generalized
mutual information and the like is improved, meanwhile, good
algorithm compatibility and
engineering implementation convenience are achieved, and the extra overhead of the
system is effectively controlled.
