AbstractThe discussion about forward error correction (FEC) used for 800G unamplified link (800LR) is ongoing. Aiming at two potential options for FEC bit error ratio (BER) threshold, we propose two FEC schemes, respectively based on channel-polarized (CP) multilevel coding (MLC) and bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM), with the same inner FEC code. The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) verification results indicate that with the same FEC overhead (OH), proposed CP-MLC outperforms BICM scheme with less resource and power consumption.
