An attention mechanism is integrated into neural network-based equalizers to prune the fully-connected output layer. For a 100 GBd 16-QAM 20 x 100 km SMF transmission, this approach reduces the computational complexity by ~15% in a CNN+LSTM model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
