Abstract
A method for transmitting an orthogonal function processed signal over a communications link on a fiber involves generating at least one mode crosstalk matrix illustrating mode crosstalk between transmitted modes and adjacent modes within the fiber. Adjacent modes to be multiplexed together are selected based on entries within the generated mode crosstalk matrix being less than or equal to a predetermined value. The transmitted modes and the selected adjacent modes are multiplexed together into the orthogonal function processed signal for transmission on the communications link on the fiber.
