摘要:
An apparatus for dynamic diversity signal reception based upon receiver-side link quality assessments includes two or more antennae. At least one switch is connected to the two or more antennae. A dynamic diversity controller is connected to the at least one switch. The dynamic diversity controller includes a link quality assessor to assess link quality and generate a link characterization value. A diversity configuration selector, responsive to the link characterization value, selectively activates the at least one switch to implement a dynamic diversity configuration. The link quality assessor includes a signal strength analyzer, a modem detector, and/or a MAC layer analyzer to assess the received signal and generate the link characterization value.

Digital communication signals that encode information in the phase may be susceptible to phase error from many sources. A device corrects for carrier and sampling phase errors, as well as additive phase noise. A digital phase locked loop simultaneously tracks the carrier phase error and the sampling phase error, and corrects the signal in the frequency domain. The device may use the sampling phase error to advance or delay the sampling window used to convert the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.

A method of detecting an occurrence of an error event in data and an apparatus for the same are provided. The method includes: preparing an error detection code wherein syndrome sequences for dominant error events are all different; generating a codeword from source data using the error detection code; detecting the occurrence of the dominant error event in the codeword by checking a syndrome computed from the codeword; and determining a type and likely error starting positions of the occurred dominant error event using the syndrome sequences correspond to the syndrome.

A wireless communication technique enables equalization, soft demapping and phase error estimation functions to be performed jointly based on multiple observations of a transmitted symbol in wireless communication systems employing receive diversity. Multiple observations of a symbol are obtained from multiple antenna paths in a wireless receiver. Equalization, soft demapping and phase error estimation functions can be integrated within shared hardware, rather than distributed among separate hardware blocks, promoting reduced size, complexity and cost in a wireless receiver.

Low complexity signal-space detection can be applied to a variety of systems, e.g., data storage systems, data communication systems, DVD systems, systems that use media subject to a d=2 minimum run-length constraint, etc. The signal-space detector/method estimates a channel input symbol based on a finite number of observation samples. For example, in the binary input case, the signal-space detector divides a multidimensional space into two disjoint regions corresponding to opposite symbol decisions. The detection system/method determines in which region the observation vector falls and releases a corresponding hard decision, e.g., a binary symbol decision. Further, a soft decision can be provided that measures the reliability of the symbol decision.
摘要:
Apparatuses and methods for detecting error events in a codeword reproduced by perpendicular magnetic recording medium (PMR. The method includes: generating cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bits based on a generator polynomial for a source information sequence to be recorded on PMR medium and recording a codeword in which the generated CRC parity bits are added to the source information sequence; and reading the recorded codeword and an error event in the read codeword. It is possible to detect error events when a codeword recorded by PMR is read, using a small number of bits.

A probability is determined, including by obtaining a set of probability ratios, wherein each probability ratio in the set is a ratio of a first probability to a second probability. A probability P(Em=z) that an mth error symbol Em has a level of z is determining based at least in part on one or more dominant error patterns.
摘要:
In general, the disclosure describes techniques for detecting and correcting single or multiple occurrences of data error patterns. This disclosure discusses the generation and application of high-rate error-pattern-correcting codes to correct single instances of targeted error patterns in codewords, and to further correct a significant portion of multiple instances of targeted error patterns, with the least redundancy. In accordance with the techniques, a lowest-degree generator polynomial may be constructed that targets a set of dominant error patterns that make up a very large percentage of all observed occurrences of errors. The lowest-degree generator polynomial produces distinct, non-overlapping syndrome sets for the target error patterns. The lowest-degree generator polynomial may be constructed such that no two error patterns within the list of dominant error patterns map to the same syndrome set, and the single occurrence and starting position of any of the target error patterns can be successfully identified.
摘要:
A method of analyzing soft symbol information in a communication system that transmits multiple independent data streams is disclosed. The method includes setting a trellis structure using a fixed spatial delay constraint, calculating a joint probability between a targeted symbol and a set of observation samples either recursively or nonrecursively, and approximating a likelihood function for a given branch by a single probability density function with mean and variance computed based on available soft information on past symbols relative to the branch that is being currently considered.
