    摘要: A system and method are provided for non-causal channel equalization in a communications system. The method comprises: receiving a non-return to zero (NRZ) data stream input; establishing thresholds to distinguish a first bit estimate; comparing the first bit estimate in the NRZ data stream to a second bit value received prior to the first bit, and a third bit received subsequent to the first bit; in response to the comparisons, determining the value of the first bit; tracking the NRZ data stream inputs in response to sequential bit value combinations; maintaining long-term averages of the tracked NRZ data stream inputs; adjusting the thresholds in response to the long-term averages; and, offsetting the threshold adjustments to account for the asymmetric noise distribution. Two methods are used to offset the threshold adjustments to account for the asymmetric noise distribution: forward error correction (FEC) decoding and tracking the ratio of bit values.

    摘要: A system and method for providing redundancy in an integrated circuit (IC) relay device has been disclosed. The relay device accepts communications on a first and second receive path. The relay device monitors communications on both the receive paths, and selects a path having a high degree of integrity. Likewise, the relay selectively supplies communications on a first and second transmit path. The relay device selects the transmit path having the proper measure of communication integrity. Communications integrity can be based upon internally monitored criteria such as bit error rate, synchronization, clock signals, and forward error correction. Alternately, the integrity is determined external to the relay, and the relay responds to external switch commands.

    摘要: A system and method have been provided for programming synchronization features of a multidimensional digital frame structure. Such a frame structure acts as a digital wrapper and includes overhead, payload, and forward error correction (FEC) sections. Words in the overhead section are used to synchronize the frame structure. The described invention permits the number of frames, with recognizable frame synchronization bytes (FSBs), required for synchronization to be made programmable, so that the system and method are flexible for changes in communication protocols. This flexibility also impacts the number, value, location, bandwidth, and the bit error rate (BER) of the located FSBs.

Such a frame structure acts as a digital wrapper and includes overhead, payload, and forward error correction (FEC) sections. Words in the overhead section are used to selectively synchronize the broadcast frame structure at a plurality of network nodes.

    摘要: A system and method have been provided to increase security in scrambled communications by periodically changing the seed masks used to generate the scrambling algorithms at the transmitter and receiver. The scrambling algorithm is changed by periodically modifying the seed masks which establishes the initial state of the scrambling algorithm generators. The same seed mask key is passed through an auxiliary communication channel to the receiver to insure that matching descrambling algorithms are generated.

    摘要: A system and method have been provided to segment communications between relay nodes in a network using digitally wrapped, or frame structure communications. The overhead bytes in the frame are given special functions, to enable processes such as synchronization or an auxiliary communications channel. Overhead byte quantities, locations, values, or combinations of the above are used to signal the processes. Nodes in the network can be selectively programmed to recognize the overhead byte signals that trigger the processes.
