We first presented a unified CPE estimation framework combining decision-aided （DA）, pilot-aided （PA） and decision feed- back （DF） algorithms. The DA method is used to estimate the CPE of the current OFDM symbol based on the decision statistics of the previous symbol. DA ＋ PA helps increase the phase noise tolerance of DA and reduce the overhead of PA, while DA ＋ DF reduces the overhead to zero, achieving best performance with one more step of estimation, compensation and demodulation. We also described a modified time-domain blind intercarrier interference （BL-ICI） mitigation algorithm over non- constant amplitude formats. The new algorithm is derived from the BL-ICI algorithm over constant amplitude format for wireless networks. A new power estimation scheme was proposed for the BL-ICI algorithm to adapt to non- constant amplitude format. It has the same order of complexity with frequency domain decision-aided ICI （DA-ICI） compensation method and does not suffer from symbol decision errors. The effectiveness of both CPE and ICI compensation algorithms were demonstrated in a simulated 56-Gbit/s CO-OFDM system with various modulation formats.展开更多
