Abstract
En 中文
We consider the application of concatenated codes with interleaver and iterative decoding to optical communication systems. We show how to obtain the optimum log-likelihood ratio to he provided to the soft decoder in the optical channel environment, and compare the performance of a decoder using it with the one employing a Gaussian approximation of the optical channel. Simulation results refer to practical turbo-product codes, and encompass the effect of quantization on the log-likelihood ratio. The results show that the Gaussian assumption in computing the log-likelihood ratio for the optical channel leads to significant losses.
