摘要:
Jointly encoding signals from multiple sources, by cooperating stations, with retransmission of those jointly encoded signals to receivers. A cooperating station decodes signals from multiple sources, jointly encodes them to form a joint protection signal responsive to the decoded signals from those multiple sources, simultaneously responsive to more than one of them. The cooperating station sends the protection signal to one or more receivers, which use that joint protection signal to decode those signals from multiple sources. More than one cooperating stations can each perform similar tasks. Each of those cooperating stations performs those tasks using a distinct protection code, such as a similar error-correcting code, but with distinct parameters. The cooperative stations use an error-correcting block code, including decoding data and parity values of the multiple signals; computing the error-correcting block code; and sending a differing portion of the computed block code.

A method is provided for automatically improving throughput of an active channel in a communication system comprising: receiving input from one or more modules that identify and characterize impairments in the active channel; monitoring the input to track changes in the impairments; and changing channel parameters to improve throughput on the channel based on the changes in the impairments. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
摘要:
An inter-symbol-interference (ISI) coder with mapper and linear filter and a technique of channel encoding deliberately inserts inter-symbol-interference (ISI) into the signal using a non-linear precoder to map map input symbol sequences into sequences of extended symbols. Coded output symbols are generated in response to sequences of extended symbols which are selected from the same grid associated with the input symbols to yield a same minimum distance.

A method is disclosed for providing data for automatically estimating channel performance if different parameters of a Reed-Solomon (RS) code are used in a communication system while transmission is occurring in the communication system without changing the current Reed-Solomon (RS) code parameters.

A technique of channel encoding deliberately inserts inter-symbol-interference (ISI) into the signal using a non-linear precoder to map data into a lattice that can have a much better distance spectrum than an uncoded QAM signal, although it has nearly the same power level.
摘要:
A method for symbol detection using a decision feedback equalizer loop is provided comprising the steps of generating a delay-less symbol estimate from data redundancy in a received signal, and employing said delay-less symbol estimate in said decision feedback equalizer (DFE) loop as input to the feedback section of the DFE and/or to update equalizer parameters. A receiver for digital signals is also provided. Other systems, apparatus and methods are also disclosed.

This invention is particularly useful as a system for digital communications over channels that suffer from impulse noise, and particularly over return cable TV channels, downstream cable TV channels, and digital subscriber loops (DSL) channels for high speed communications over twisted pair copper lines.
摘要:
A collision-based multi-access system is described which is capable of recovering collisions by means of jointly detecting the mutually interfering signals, followed by re-transmission of functions of portions of some of the colliding signals. This system reduces the amount of required re-transmission of all of the colliding signals, decreasing the amount of re-transmission in the system, increasing the system throughput. The system is also applicable to non-colliding communications systems to correct interference due to noise.
摘要:
A method for data storage includes storing data, which is encoded with an Error Correction Code (ECC), in a group of analog memory cells by writing respective first storage values to the memory cells in the group. After storing the data, respective second storage values are read from the memory cells in the group, and the read second storage values are processed so as to decode the ECC. Responsively to a failure in decoding the ECC, one or more of the second storage values that potentially caused the failure are identified as suspect storage values. Respective third storage values are re-read from a subset of the memory cells that includes the memory cells holding the suspect storage values. The ECC is re-decoded using the third storage values so as to reconstruct the stored data.
摘要:
A method for data storage includes setting a group of analog memory cells to respective analog values by performing an iterative process that applies a sequence of pulses to the memory cells in the group. During the iterative process, a progress of the iterative process is assessed, and a parameter of the iterative process is modified responsively to the assessed progress. The iterative process is continued in accordance with the modified parameter.
