Abstract

A system receives four-bit symbols that correspond to traffic associated with a three-bit phase modulation scheme and are encoded based on a four-bit phase modulation scheme. The system determines values with which to perform equalization that enable the four-bit symbols to be restored to a condition that existed prior to being transmitted to the system. The system performs, using the values, equalization on a four-bit symbol that includes at least a first pair of bits associated with a first polarization, and performs, after completing the equalization, another equalization on another four-bit symbol that includes at least a second pair of bits associated with a second polarization. The system identifies a three-bit symbol, of a set of three-bit symbols associated with the three-bit phase modulation scheme, based on the equalized first pair of bits and the equalized second pair of bits, generates the three-bit symbol, and outputs the three-bit symbol.
