Abstract:
A method of controlling a data flow, a transmitter and a data transmission system are described. For example, in a method of controlling a data flow of a transmitter, first data is received at a first interface. The first data is buffered in a buffer. The first data is output via a second interface. Information is determined regarding an estimated amount of second data comprising payload data output via the first interface until a filling level of the buffer will reach a predetermined threshold. An amount of the payload data output via the first interface is adjusted based on the information. The payload data is then output via the first interface. Similarly, a transmitter includes an interface to output payload data and a control signal, and a buffer to buffer further data received via the interface wherein the control signal controls a flow of said further data.
Abstract:
A system for processing a data signal (such as an ADSL or VDSL signal) includes a demodulator, a first decoder unit, such as a convolutional encoder or a QAM decoder, for receiving the output of the demodulator, decoding the second level of encoding and outputting a decoded signal and a first error indication signal indicative of errors in the decoded signal. The decoded signal is passed through a de-interleaving unit to form a de-interleaved signal. The first location signal is passed to an identifier unit which receives it, and from it produces a second error indication signal indicative of the errors in the de-interleaved signal. The de-interleaved signal and the second error indication signal are transmitted to a redundancy decoder which employs them to perform redundancy decoding.
Abstract:
A discrete multitone (DMT) transceiver communicates with multiple channels generates and receives DMT symbols each having a duration of a timeslot. A transmitter portion of the transceiver includes a symbol processor which generates symbols for multiple channels sequentially, and stores the generated symbols in a buffer until they are transmitted. A receiver portion simultaneously receives symbols on multiple channels and stores the symbols in a buffer, from which the symbols on different channels are read and processed sequentially. To reduce the rate of communication on a given channel, the symbol processors may be idle in respect of some of the timeslots corresponding to that channel. The transceiver may alternatively be an OFDM transceiver.
Abstract:
An improved implementation of wait-states in an SOC architecture with optimized performance is described. The clock input signal to the processor is modified during wait-states so that the wait signal does not have to be provided within a short setup time. Data integrity is maintained by providing alternative data paths during wait-states.
