Abstract:
The present invention is directed to data communication system and methods. More specifically, various embodiments of the present invention provide a communication interface that is configured to transfer data at high bandwidth using nDSQ format(s) over optical communication networks. In certain embodiments, the communication interface is used by various devices, such as spine switches and leaf switches, within a spine-leaf network architecture, which allows large amount of data to be shared among servers.

Claim (Index 17):
A communication device for processing n-dimensional double square quadrature amplitude modulation (nDSQ) coded signals for pulse amplitude modulation with m levels (PAMm), the communication device coupled with the network, the communication device comprising:\n a phase-lock loop for generating clock signals; a channel for receiving nDSQ symbols; a splicer configured to divide the nDSQ symbol into a first segment representing most significant bits (MSBs) and a second segment representing least significant bits (LSBs); a decoder configured to process the second segment to generate an error indication based at least on a parity check; a multiplexer configured to generate PAM (m/2) data using the first segment and the error indication; and a de-mapping module configured to map the PAM (m/2) data to the MSBs bits; wherein n is associated with a number of dimensions and is 2 or greater, and m is 2 or greater.
