  • Publication number: 20190081645
    Abstract: An optical transmission apparatus (100) generates a second bit sequence B by encoding a first bit sequence b having forward error correction coding performed on a transmission bit sequence, maps the second bit sequence to a transmission symbol signal, and transmits an optical modulated signal generated by modulating an optical carrier wave into the transmission symbol signal. A symbol output unit (2020) generates a received symbol signal by demodulating an optical modulated signal received by an optical reception apparatus (2000). A first computation unit (2040) computes LLR(Bi) which is a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of each bit Bi of the second bit sequence, using the received symbol signal. A second computation unit (2060) computes a log-likelihood ratio LLR(bi) of each bit bi of the first bit sequence from the LLR(Bi). A correspondence relationship between each bit of the first bit sequence and each bit of the second bit sequence is used in this computation.
