Abstract:
A method for optimizing the reception of digital communications, the method comprising:receiving digital communication including forward error correction (FEC) sections; processing the received communications; determining errors in response to making forward error corrections; and adjusting the processing in response to determining errors; wherein determining errors in response to making forward error corrections includes: comparing the number of â€œ1â€  bits corrected to the number of â€œ0â€  bits corrected; wherein adjusting the processing in response to determining errors includes adjusting the processing in response to the comparison of â€œ1â€  bit and â€œ0â€  bit corrections; wherein receiving digital communications including forward error correction (FEC) sections includes receiving a signal having a first polarity associated with â€œ1â€  bits, and a second polarity associated with â€œ0â€  bits; and wherein adjusting the processing in response to determining errors includes supplying a modified communication signal with a signal swing adjusted between the first and second polarities.
