Abstract
A system for a fiber-optic network includes a transceiver. The transceiver includes a fiber-optic interface unit and a host unit. The host unit includes a low-complexity error correction decoder and a high-complexity error correction decoder. One or both from the low-complexity error correction decoder and the high-complexity error correction decoder are selected to decode input data from the fiber-optic interface unit, the input data including codewords.
Claims20
A system for a fiber-optic network, comprising:
- a transceiver including:
- a fiber-optic interface unit including a first forward error correction (FEC) decoder;
- and
- a host unit including a second forward error correction (FEC) decoder, wherein the host unit is configured to receive input data decoded by the first FEC decoder from the fiber-optic interface unit.
