ABSTRACT:
Various systems and methods related to equalization precoding in a communications channel are disclosed. In one implementation preceding is performed on signals transmitted over an optical channel. In one implementation preceding and decoding operations are performed in parallel to facilitate high speed processing in relatively low cost circuits. Initialization of the precoders may be realized by transmitting information related to the characteristics of the channel between transceiver pairs.
