| contents | Although forward error-correction (FEC) coding is an essential part of modern fiber-optic communication systems, it is impractical to implement and evaluate FEC in transmission experiments and simulations. Therefore, it is desirable to accurately predict the end-to-end link performance including FEC from transmission data recorded without FEC. In this tutorial, we provide ready-to-implement "recipes" for such prediction techniques, which apply to arbitrary channels and require no knowledge of information or coding theory. The appropriate choice of recipe depends on properties of the FEC encoder and decoder. The covered metrics include bit error rate, symbol error rate, achievable information rate, and asymptotic information, in all cases computed using a mismatched receiver. Supplementary software implementations are available. |
