Abstract

There are provided an optical transmission apparatus that subjects a transmission signal including a plurality of sequences to Hadamard transform to obtain a signal in which a predetermined delay is added to one of the sequences, optically modulates the obtained signal, and transmits the modulated signal, and an optical reception apparatus that demodulates a reception signal received from the optical transmission apparatus by subjecting the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing with a predetermined number of taps. The optical reception apparatus includes: an adaptive equalization processing unit that subjects the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing of wavelength distortion compensation with a number of taps obtained by subtracting a number in accordance with the delay from the predetermined number of taps; a delay compensation unit that subjects the reception signal subjected to the wavelength distortion compensation to delay compensation in accordance with the delay; and an inverse Hadamard transform unit that subjects the reception signal subjected to the delay compensation to inverse Hadamard transform.

Claims (24)

1. An optical transmission system comprising:

an optical transmission apparatus configured to subject a transmission signal including a plurality of sequences to Hadamard transform to obtain a signal in which a predetermined delay is added to one of the plurality of sequences, optically modulate the obtained signal, and transmit the modulated signal; and

an optical reception apparatus configured to demodulate a reception signal received from the optical transmission apparatus by subjecting the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing with a predetermined number of taps, wherein

the optical reception apparatus includes:

an adaptive equalization processing unit configured to subject the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing of wavelength distortion compensation with a number of taps obtained by subtracting a number determined in accordance with a delay from the predetermined number of taps;

a delay compensation unit configured to subject the reception signal subjected to the wavelength distortion compensation to delay compensation in accordance with the delay; and

an inverse Hadamard transform unit configured to subject the reception signal subjected to the delay compensation to inverse Hadamard transform.

2. The optical transmission system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

subject the reception signal subjected to the wavelength distortion compensation to frequency offset compensation before the delay compensation; and

subject the reception signal subjected to the frequency offset compensation to phase offset compensation, wherein

subjects the reception signal subjected to the phase offset compensation to the delay compensation, and

subjects the reception signal subjected to the delay compensation to the inverse Hadamard transform with a single fixed tap.

3. The optical transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the optical transmission apparatus is configured to insert a pilot signal before the Hadamard transform or after addition of the delay, and performs the adaptive equalization processing using the pilot signal.

4. The optical transmission system according to claim 3 , wherein the optical transmission apparatus uses a signal subjected to the inverse Hadamard transform or a QSPK signal as the pilot signal when the pilot signal is inserted before the Hadamard transform, and uses a signal subjected to the Hadamard transform or a QSPK signal as the pilot signal when the pilot signal is inserted after the addition of the delay.

5. An optical reception apparatus configured to demodulate a reception signal by subjecting the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing with a predetermined number of taps, the reception signal being received from an optical transmission apparatus, the optical transmission apparatus being configured to subject a transmission signal including a plurality of sequences to Hadamard transform to obtain a signal in which a predetermined delay is added to one of the plurality of sequences, optically modulate the obtained signal, and transmit the modulated signal, the optical reception apparatus comprising:

an adaptive equalization processing unit configured to subject the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing of wavelength distortion compensation with a number of taps obtained by subtracting a number determined in accordance with a delay from the predetermined number of taps;

a delay compensation unit configured to subject the reception signal subjected to the wavelength distortion compensation to delay compensation in accordance with the delay; and

an inverse Hadamard transform unit configured to subject the reception signal subjected to the delay compensation to inverse Hadamard transform.

6. An optical transmission method in an optical transmission system, the optical transmission system including: an optical transmission apparatus configured to subject a transmission signal including a plurality of sequences to Hadamard transform to obtain a signal in which a predetermined delay is added to one of the plurality of sequences, optically modulate the obtained signal, and transmit the modulated signal; and an optical reception apparatus configured to demodulate a reception signal received from the optical transmission apparatus by subjecting the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing with a predetermined number of taps, the optical transmission method comprising:

Subjecting, by the optical reception apparatus, the reception signal to adaptive equalization processing of wavelength distortion compensation with a number of taps obtained by subtracting a number determined in accordance with a delay from the predetermined number of taps;

Subjecting, by the optical reception apparatus, the reception signal subjected to the wavelength distortion compensation to delay compensation in accordance with the delay; and

Subjecting, by the optical reception apparatus, the reception signal subjected to the delay compensation to inverse Hadamard transform.
