| Resumen: | For applications in concatenated coding for optical communications systems, we examine soft-demapping of short spherical codes constructed as constant-energy shells of the Cartesian power of pulse amplitude modulation constellations. These are unions of permutation codes having the same average power. We construct a list decoder for permutation codes by adapting Murty's algorithm, which is then used to determine mutual information curves for these permutation codes. In the process, we discover a straightforward expression for determining the likelihood of large subcodes of permutation codes called orbits. We introduce a simple process, called orbit demapping, that allows us to extract soft information from noisy permutation codewords. In a sample communication system with probabilistic amplitude shaping protected by a standard low-density parity-check code that employs short permutation codes, we demonstrate that orbit demapping provides a gain of about 0.3 dB in signal-to-noise ratio compared to the traditional symbol-by-symbol demapping. By using spherical codes composed of unions of permutation codes, we can increase the input entropy compared to using permutation codes alone. In one scheme, we consider a union of a small number of permutation codes. In this case, orbit demapping provides about 0.2 dB gain compared to the traditional method. In another scheme, we use all possible permutations to form a spherical code that exhibits a computationally feasible trellis representation. The soft information obtained using the BCJR algorithm outperforms the traditional symbol-by-symbol method by 0.1 dB. Using the spherical codes containing all possible permutation codes of the same average power and the BCJR algorithm, a gain of 0.5 dB is observed. Comparison of the achievable information rates of bit-metric decoding verifies the observed gains. |
