Performance results • FPGA implementation: • In order to prove that NL-TCM codes are feasible today for optical speeds, a hardware simulation engine was built on the Xilinx Virtex2-Pro 2V20 FPGA. • Results for the rate-1/20 NL-TCM code are shown next. • Transfer Bound: • Wen-Yen Weng collaborated in this work, with the computation a Transfer Function Bound for NL-TCM codes. • It proved to be a very accurate bound, thus providing a fast estimation of the performance of the NL-TCM codes designed in this work.

Results: observations • An error floor can observed for the FPGA rate-1/20 NL-TCM. • This is mainly due to the fact that, while theoretically a 1-to-0 transition means an infinite distance, for implementation constraints those transitions are given a value of 20. • Trace-back depth of 35. • Additional coding required to lower BER to below 10-9.

Dramatically lowering the BER : Concatenation with Outer Block Code • Optical systems deliver a very low BER, in our work a is required. • Using only a NL-TCM, the rate would have to be very low. • A better solution is found using the fact that Viterbi decoding fails gradually, with relatively high probability only a small number of bits are in error. • Thus, a high-rate block code that can correct a few errors can be attached as an outer code, dramatically lowering the BER.

Reed-Solomon + NL-TCM : Results • A concatenation of the rate-1/20 NL-TCM code with (255 bytes,247 bytes) Reed-Solomon code has been tested for the 6-user OR-MAC scenario. • This RS-code corrects up to 8 erred bits. • The resulting rate for each user is (247/255).(1/20) • The results were obtained using a C program to apply the RS-code to the FPGA NL-TCM output.

C-Simulation Performance Results: NL-TCM only, 100-user OR-MAC Communication Systems Laboratory
Current Status • Decreased optical speed from 2 to 1.2 Gbps because FPGA can’t keep up at 2 Gbps. • Single Amplifier Results: • 2-Amplifier system in progress. • We need more amplifiers for six users. Last night, worked for 4 users, but two users need more power. Communication Systems Laboratory
Results • Demonstrated scalability to 100 users in a C simulation. • Working on our 6-user optical implementation. Communication Systems Laboratory
