Abstract:
A method of transmitting communications traffic, the method comprising steps of receiving a sequence of communications traffic bits; and mapping the sequence of communications traffic bits onto a respective one of a plurality of transmission symbols for transmission during a symbol time. Each transmission symbol is identified by a respective first symbol identifier indicative of a respective one or more of a plurality, M, of wavelengths for a transmission signal and a respective second symbol identifier indicative of a respective one or more of a plurality, N, of optical fibres on which to transmit the transmission signal.

Claim (Index 10):
The optical transmitter as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein each encoder is configured to:\n receive a first sequence of communications traffic bits for transmission during a first symbol time and to receive a second sequence of communications traffic bits for transmission during a second symbol time, after the first symbol time; wherein the encoder is further configured to map the first sequence of communications traffic bits onto one of the respective plurality of transmission symbols; wherein the encoder is further configured to determine one of the respective plurality of transmission symbols that the second sequence of communications traffic bits is to be mapped onto; and wherein the encoder is further configured to generate at least one control signal comprising instructions to generate the transmission signal for the transmission symbol for the first sequence of communications traffic bits during the first symbol time and to prepare a laser to be used to generate the transmission signal for the transmission symbol for the second sequence of communications traffic during the first symbol time.
