Patent number: 11950031Abstract: Systems and methods for performing impairment compensation in point-to-multi-point communication systems are described. In a data snapshot mode, a hub node can send instructions to each communication node connected to the hub node to send a data snapshot of data being received and processed by the communication nodes at a particular time. In a trench line mode, a hub node sends instructions to each communication node to send trench line data back to the hub node. The hub node uses the data snapshot or trench line data to determine how to tune filter coefficients in the hub node to perform impairment compensation and improve performance of the communication system.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Syed Muhammad Bilal, Christopher Fludger, Scott Pringle, Mehdi Karimi, William Isaac

Patent number: 11736960Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a node placement service. The node placement service may generate geo-bins pertaining to a radio access network device, a sector of the radio access network device, or a sub-sector. The node placement service may generate time values for the geo-bins based on network information associated with end devices and the geo-bins. The node placement service may also generate return on investment values for the geo-bins based on the network information. The node placement service may use the time values, the return on investment values, or both for radio frequency design of a geo-bin.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Daniel Rushton, Nelson A. Del Valle, Alex E. Cihanowyz, Trevor Scott Pringle

Publication number: 20220216939Abstract: Consistent with the present disclosure, multiple forward error correction (FEC) encoders are provided for encoding a respective one of a plurality of data streams. A mechanism is provided to mix or interleave portions of the encoded data such that each subcarrier carries information associated with each data stream, as opposed to each subcarrier carrying information associated with only a corresponding one of the data streams. As a result, both higher SNR and low SNR optical subcarriers carry such information, such that errors occurring during transmission are distributed and not concentrated or limited to information associated with a single data stream. Accordingly, at the receive end, each FEC decoder decodes information having a similar overall error rate. By balancing the error rates across each FEC encoder/decoder pair, the overall ability to correct errors improves compared to a system in which mixing or interleaving is not carried out.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicant: Infinera CorporationInventors: Sandy Thomson, Sofia Amado, Aroutchelvame Mayilavelane, Christopher Fludger, Scott Pringle, Ahmed Awadalla, Han Sun, Ting-Kuang Chiang, Yuejian Wu

Publication number: 20210385062Abstract: Consistent with the present disclosure independent phase and frequency clock recovery on each SC. Both leaf and hub perform digital clock recovery on each SC by increasing the Rx-ADC sampling rate by a few ppm (˜16 ppm), and using a delay compensating element, together with gapped clocks. The gaps and delay compensating elements are independent on each SC. The delay element is performed using the frequency domain DSP engine, where the frequency domain equalizer coefficients are modified with a delay compensating element Thus, each SC can have its own fine timing frequency and timing phase tuning, and fine tracking of its own jitter. When the delay compensating element, which, for example, may include a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, reaches the end of its range, a clock gap equal to an integer number of symbols is performed. The delay element can be reset by the same number of symbols providing continuous phase interpolation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Applicant: Infinera CorporationInventors: Christopher Fludger, Mohsen Tehrani, Mehdi Karimi, Scott Pringle, Sofia Amado, Sandy Thomson
