Abstract

Approaching capacity with low complexity is a very challenging task. In this paper, we review and compare three promising coding solutions to achieve that, which are suitable for future very high-throughput, low-complexity optical communications.

Invited paper for ECOC 2019. Note that we corrected the iBDD-SR curve in Fig. 2 of an earlier version of this paper. Because of a plotting issue the curve was mistakenly shifted to the right
