Maximum Likelihood Detection • To implement ML detection, need to know the ML boundaries • Need to know center phase • With ,can either de-rotate the received phase or use a lookup table
Center Phase • The center phase satisfy the relation • Let Equation (1) becomes
Center Phase • With approximations it can be shown that
Center Phase rotation Before rotation After rotation • Straight line ML decision boundaries after rotation!

QAM Signal Detection : Low Nonlinearity • Cannot rotate the received signal phase by since we need to know the transmitted signal power! • Alternative approach: Signal design/processing to approximate ML boundaries with straight lines Signal Processing Techniques • Signal phase pre-compensation: pre-rotate signal phase by mean nonlinear phase shift • Nonlinear Phase noise (NLPN) post-compensation: rotate received phase by (Kahn and Ho 2004)

QAM Signal Detection : High Nonlinearity • ML boundaries separate into 3 intervals • Can associate to the three input powers, then rotate by corresponding • For input power and noise power ,
Signal Constellation Optimization • Not a convex optimization problem for non-Gaussian noise (Johnson and Orsak (T.comm. 1993), Kearsley (NIST 2001), Foschini, Gitlin and Weinstein (Bell Sys. Tech. Journal 1973) 4 signal points optimization 2-2 1-3
Conclusions • ML decision boundaries is derived for PSK/DPSK systems in presence of nonlinear phase noise with distributed amplification • Allow easy implementation of optimal ML detection and allow analytical derivation of the SER for N-ary PSK/DPSK schemes and QAM systems with high nonlinearity • Phase rotation techniques to enhance performance using straight line decision boundaries for QAM systems with low nonlinearity • Preliminary optimization results
