Patent attributes
A receiver is provided for processing an input signal from a communication network. The receiver includes a processor and a memory configured to store computer executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to (i) receive an input data signal including digital bit information, (ii) code the input data signal into a plurality of multi-level symbols, (iii) map the plurality of multi-level symbols into a plurality of constellation points in the phase domain, (iv) execute a first phase recovery subprocess on the plurality of constellation points to recover a first carrier phase of the input signal, (v) implement a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) on the recovered first carrier phase to generate an enhanced recovered carrier phase, and (vi) process the enhanced recovered carrier phase with a second phase recovery subprocess to reduce distortion from the input signal.
