Abstract

This paper proposes a novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) optical access scheme based on bit reconstruction. In this method, correlation is introduced into the data information of optical line terminals (OLT) through the logical coding circuits and partition mapping. Even after passing through the optical fibre channel, the strong correlation after bit reconstruction can still be used in the optical network unit (ONU) for reliable decoding. In the simulation experiments, a 60 Gbit/s bit reconstruction 64 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) OFDM signal was successfully transmitted over a 10/20 km single-mode fibre (SMF). The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively achieve reliable transmission with gains of about 1.3 dB and 0.51 dB at a 20% soft decision-forward error correction (SD-FEC) threshold, respectively. The proposed scheme is a promising candidate for a next-generation passive optical network (NGPON) solution.
