  • Signal processing in an optical receiver
    Patent number: 10313049
    Abstract: The present invention relates to signal processing in an optical receiver, in particular to equalization performed in coherent optical receivers. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalizer receives and equalizes a plurality of real value signals, for example four sampled electrical baseband tributaries (HI, HQ, VI, VQ). The outputs of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalizer provide equalized real or imaginary components of complex signals. The complex signals including the real and imaginary components are then each and individually equalized to remove chromatic dispersion.

  • Adaptive traffic routing in communication networks
    Patent number: 10305785
    Abstract: At least one data-stream is re-routed and a network element is provided for re-routing at least one data-stream. A first part and a second part of a data-stream received at a first node and are transmitted to a second node via two different network paths, respectively. The first is transmitted from the first node to the second node via a first network path. A second network path is determined, and the difference between latencies of the first and second network paths is also determined. If the latency of the first network path is larger than the latency of the second network path, the at least one data-stream at the first node is re-routed from the first network path to the second network path provided that the time gap between data packets received by the first node exceeds said difference between latencies.
