A Novel Concatenated Coded Modulation Based on GFDM for Access Optical Networks

In this paper, we proposed a novel concatenated coded modulation composed of adaptive turbo code with trellis-coded modulation (ATTCM) that is based on generalized frequency division multiplex (GFDM) system. The proposed scheme has low complexity and provides high spectrum efficiency and significant coding gain. An experiment with 4 Gbit/s novel concatenated coded modulation GFDM system is successfully demonstrated with the proposed method. It is shown that the novel concatenated coding modulation signal (ATTCM 32QAM) provides 2.3 dB coding gain over that of TCM32QAM signal at bit error rate of 1e-3. This paper indicates a prospect solution for the future fifth generation optical access system.
