Abstract: A receiver circuit is disclosed and is configured to receive an optical signal. The receiver circuit includes a receiving circuit configured to receive the optical signal and convert the optical signal from a duobinary signal format into a binary signal based on a plurality of decision thresholds. The receiver circuit also includes a clock data recovery circuit configured to sample the binary signal per data period at a first time instant based on a predetermined clock data recovery technique, and sample the binary signal per data period at a second time instant offset from the first instant, as well as determine an intermediate sample based on an offset for decoding a transmitted bit sequence according to soft information based on the samples.

Abstract: A residential gateway connecting an access network to an in-home network includes an access network transceiver configured for a first communication with an access network component via a wireline and an in-home network transceiver configured for a second communication with an in-home network component via the same wireline or at least one further wireline. The residential gateway further includes synchronization circuitry configured to synchronize a timing between the first and the second communication and interference mitigation circuitry configured to mitigate interference between the first and the second communication based on the synchronized timing.

Abstract: A multi-carrier transmitter apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an outer encoder, a shell mapper and an inner encoder. The outer encoder is configured to receive a signal, perform error correction using an outer code on the received signal and generate an outer encoder signal. The shell mapper is configured to perform constellation shaping on a subset of bits from the outer encoder signal and generate one or more constellation shaping bits. The inner encoder is configured to perform inner error correction/encoding using an inner code on a second subset of bits from the outer encoder signal and generate an inner correction signal.

Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, an optical line terminal (OLT) configured for downstream transmission in a passive optical network (PON) may comprise a processing device and a transceiver. The processing device may be configured to: generate a first downstream signal for transmission on a first channel at a first signal level, and generate a second downstream signal for transmission on a second channel at a second signal level. The first signal level may be greater than the second signal level. The PMD transmitter may be configured to transmit a combined downstream signal comprising the first downstream signal and the second downstream signal. The first transmit power of the first downstream signal may be selected based on a comparison to a second transmit power of the second downstream signal to facilitate reception of the first downstream signal from the combined downstream signal at an optical network unit (ONU).

The node circuit includes an optimizer circuit configured to process a plurality of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values associated with a plurality of subcarriers, respectively, associated with a set of cable modem (CM) circuits coupled to the node circuit. In some embodiments, the plurality of subcarriers comprises subcarriers that are allocated to the set of CM circuits for communication with the node circuit. In some embodiments, the optimizer circuit is further configured to determine an optimal transmit power of the node circuit, based on the plurality of SNR values and a distortion model of a transmitter circuit associated with the node circuit. In some embodiments, the distortion model defines a transmitter distortion associated with the transmitter circuit.
