Offset-Free Least-Squares Power Profile Estimation via DSP Frame Pilot Symbols
Abstract
A least-squares power profile estimation method via DSP frame pilot symbols is proposed, requiring no post-FEC symbols while remaining offset-free. Experiments on 80 GBaud DP-16QAM links closely match ideal-reference results, promising for practical deployment.
