==METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING MULTIPATH INTERFERENCE (MPI) ON AN OPTICAL LINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17521128 titled 'METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING MULTIPATH INTERFERENCE (MPI) ON AN OPTICAL LINK

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method, apparatus, and system for determining multipath interference (MPI) in optical communications. The goal is to provide an effective and low-cost way of detecting or measuring MPI.

* The method involves inserting multiple zero-power gaps into the transmission signal in the time domain.
* Some of the zero-power gaps inserted in the main signal do not overlap with the zero-power gaps of the reflection of the main signal.
* By analyzing the power inside and outside the zero-power gaps, the strength of the MPI can be determined.

== Potential Applications ==
* Optical communication systems
* Fiber optic networks
* Data centers

== Problems Solved ==
* Detecting and measuring multipath interference in optical communications
* Providing a cost-effective solution for MPI detection

== Benefits ==
* Effective and accurate detection of MPI
* Low-cost implementation
* Improved performance and reliability of optical communication systems


==Original Abstract Submitted==

There is provided a method, apparatus and system for determining multipath interference (MPI) in optical communications. It is object of embodiments of the present disclosure to provide an effective, low-cost way of detecting or measuring MPI. To effectively detect and measure the MPI, multiple zero-power gaps are inserted into the transmission signal (optical signal) in time domain. In some embodiments, at least some of the zero-power gaps inserted in the main signal do not overlap the zero-power gaps of the reflection of the main signal. Using the zero-power gaps contained the main signal and the reflection (where applicable), power inside and outside the zero-power gaps are determined. Then, the strength of the MPI is determined based on the determined power inside and outside the zero-power gaps.
