Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for detecting and correcting a cycle slip occurrence in a coherent receiver. Unique words are used in each received frame to detect phase changes that indicate the occurrence of a cycle slip within a frame. The location of the cycle slip is identified based on measurements made within the frame. Those measurements include phase estimation measurements and reliability measurements. A phase of a portion of the frame subsequent to the identified location of the cycle slip is adjusted to correct for the cycle slip. By combining phase estimates of symbols from both vertical and horizontal polarizations, the location of the cycle slip may be more accurately determined because the measurement windows is less susceptible to thermal noise. The phase estimates are combined by adjusting a phase of the symbols of one polarization to match a phase of the symbols of the other polarization.
