Predicting Nonlinear Interference for Short-Blocklength 4D Probabilistic Shaping

arXiv:2502.20605

Abstract

We derive a heuristic nonlinear interference model for 4D probabilistic shaping considering the polarization and time correlation of the 4D symbols. We demonstrate an average SNR prediction gap from split-step Fourier simulations of 0.15~dB.
