Abstract
Systems and methods for constellation shaping of M-QAM modulation formats in optical transport networks may receive binary data to be transmitted as an optical signal and partition symbols of an M-QAM constellation in the complex plane into two non-overlapping subsets of symbols, The systems and methods may include assigning respective probabilities to each symbol in the first subset of symbols dependent on a target probability distribution for the first subset, mapping at least a portion of the received binary data to the symbols in the first subset, including generating a respective codeword for each symbol in the first subset, in a first symbol period, providing data representing the respective codewords mapped to the symbols in the first subset to an optical modulator for transmission, and refraining from providing any data representing codewords mapped to the symbols in the second subset to the optical modulator until a second symbol period.
