  • Patent number: 12063138
    Abstract: Probabilistic shaping quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) based on Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is particularly important in coherent optical communication, which can approach the Shannon limit more desirably in the case of a finite signal-to-noise ratio. However, standard coherent optical digital signal processing algorithms are not optimal for demodulation of PS higher-order QAM signals. The invention provides a probabilistic shaping QAM dynamic equalization method that intercepts multiple inner rings after clock recovery and updates the convergence radius and area of a conventional blind dynamic channel equalization algorithm using a peak density K-means clustering algorithm. The clustering algorithm gives centroid labels and a quantity of classifications required for K-means, which does not require a large number of iterations of K-means, thereby reducing the complexity and improving the accuracy.
