Special Issue on
Advanced DSP and Coding for MultiTb/sperChannel Optical Transport  

http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/uploads/special_issues_deadlines/advanced_dsp.pdf

Aims and Scope
The exponential growth of Internet traffic places enormous transmission 
bandwidth demand on the underlying information transport
infrastructure at every level, from the core to access networks. In response to 
the high bandwidth demands, IEEE ratified its 40/100 Gb/s
Ethernet Standard IEEE 802.3ba in June 2010. Deployment of 100Gb/s Ethernet 
(GbE) and its photonic transport layer has already started and
is expected to be accelerated within a couple of years. To meet the 
evergrowing bandwidth demand, 1Tb/s Ethernet (TbE) systems and multi
TbE are to be standardized in the near future. There are several optical 
transmission technology options, such as DWDM, multibandsuperchannel,
and polarizationdivisionmultiplexed highlevel QAM, for enabling TbE. 
However, some challenges still remain with respect to
using these techniques as practical technologies for realizing optical TbE. 
Optical transport in the terabitpersecperchannel range calls for
optimal channel design and requires some extent of parallel processing. The 
envisioned growth in Internet traffic will place an enormous
demand on overall transmission capacity and on the transport infrastructure at 
all levels. This will also require major improvement in energy
efficiency for the processes of bandwidth creation and distribution. As a 
current example, large data centers are being built closer to power
plants in order to facilitate the supply of the energy needed. Recent studies 
indicate that the power consumed by information and
communication technologies, currently at 24% of the total carbon emissions, 
will have doubled by the end of this decade, assuming that the
current trend continues. The Internet is evidently becoming constrained not 
only by capacity, but also by the energy consumption. It is
imperative that the research community addresses both bandwidth and energy 
constraints sooner rather than later, and any advances, even
seemingly incremental ones, will be deemed meaningful.
This Special Issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine aims to explore novel 
advanced digital signal processing (DSP) and coding strategies to
enable multiTb/sperchannel optical transport for addressing the pressing 
bandwidth and energyefficiency demands. The topics addressed
here range from more sophisticated modulation and coding schemes, to advanced 
detection schemes that are potentially enabling
technologies for multiTbE optical transport. We welcome contributions on DSP 
and coding techniques for multiTb/sperchannel optical
transport over either singlemode fibers or fewmode/few core fibers, as 
evolution to spatial multiplexing is recently being contemplated for
fiberoptic communications. Proofofconcept of novel DSP and coding techniques 
through experimental verification will be highly regarded but
so will innovative ideas and concepts backed by theoretical proof and 
simulation.
