COHERENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

The estimation of an amount of chromatic dispersion using a training signal sequence is possible. A transmission method includes: a training signal sequence generation step of generating, as training signal sequences, a plurality of signal sequences having power concentrated in a plurality of frequency bands, the power concentrated at different frequency bands; a training signal sequence selection step of selecting at least one training signal sequence from among the plurality of training signal sequences generated in the training signal sequence generation step, a signal multiplexing step of generating a signal sequence obtained by time-division multiplexing the training signal sequence selected in the training signal sequence selection step with a transmission data sequence, and an electrical-to-optical conversion step of transmitting the signal sequence generated in the signal multiplexing step as an optical signal.
