Abstract:
The present invention is directed to communication systems and methods. According to an embodiment, a receiving optical transceiver determines signal quality for signals received from a transmitting optical transceiver. Information related to the signal quality is embedded into back-channel data and sent to the transmitting optical transceiver. The transmitting optical transceiver detects the presence of the back-channel data and adjusts one or more of its operating parameters based on the back-channel data. There are other embodiments as well.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication system, the system comprising:\n a communication link; a first transceiver comprising a first control module and a first transmitter; and a second transceiver comprising a second control module and a second transmitter, the second transceiver being configured to send data to the first transceiver; wherein: the first transceiver is configured to process a first data stream received from the second transceiver and to detect a first back channel data, the first back channel data segment being positioned at a predetermined location of an encoded data frame for processing by a compatible device; if the first transceiver detects the first back channel data, the first transceiver is configured to determine signal characteristics information associated with the first data stream and insert the signal characteristic information into a second back channel data, the second back channel data being embedded in a second data stream; the second transceiver is configured to process the second data stream received from the first transceiver; and the second transceiver is configured to detect the second back channel data and adjusts one or more operating parameters based on the signal characteristic information.
