Abstract
In this paper, we propose a soft-decision-based FEC scheme that is the concatenation of a non-binary LDPC code and hard-decision FEC code. The proposed NB-LDPC + RS with overhead of 27.06% provides a superior NCG of 11.9dB at a post-FEC BER of 10-15. As a result, the proposed NB-LDPC codes represent the strong FEC candidate of softdecision FEC for beyond 100Gb/s optical transmission systems.
