    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a method for demarcating data bursts includes receiving, via a coax network, a first data burst and a second data burst at a network interface device, wherein the first data burst and the second data burst at least partially overlap in the time domain. In various embodiments, the first data burst includes a start marker, first data elements following the start marker, and an end marker following the first data elements. In various embodiments, the start marker is orthogonal to the end marker. The method further includes distinguishing, at the network interface device, the first data burst from the second data burst based on the start marker and the end marker; and transmitting the first data burst and the second data burst via an optical network such that the first data burst and the second data burst do not overlap in time.

    Abstract: A transceiver to communicate in a vehicle via a single twisted-pair Ethernet cable includes a transmitter and a receiver, an analog front end, an equalizer, and a controller. The transmitter transmits signals via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The receiver receives signals via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The analog front end receives a first signal received by the transceiver via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable and outputs a second signal. The equalizer includes a notch filter to cancel electromagnetic interference from the second signal. The controller makes a frequency response of the equalizer independent of the electromagnetic interference by controlling tap values of the notch filter. The controller controls gain of one or more of the analog front end and the equalizer based on the frequency response of the equalizer.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detection of a ternary sequence are provided. An example apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive an OFDM signal comprising a plurality of OFDM Resource Elements (REs). A processor is coupled to the receiver and is configured to detect a presence of a known ternary sequence in the received OFDM signal. The processor is configured to detect the ternary sequence by determining a correlation between a first set of the OFDM REs and a first set of symbols of the ternary sequence. A power of each RE of a second set of the OFDM REs is determined. A sum of the powers is determined. A detection value is based on the correlation and the sum. The ternary sequence is determined to be present in the signal based on a comparison of the detection value to a threshold.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring data over a 2-pair communication system. Two input data streams are received at a Viterbi detector. The two input data streams are converted into an output signal at the Viterbi detector. Each of the input data streams includes a first data symbol interleaved with a second data symbol. A first set of branch metric values is computed for the first data symbols of the two input data streams. A second set of branch metric values is computed for the second data symbols of the two input data streams, where the computing of the second set is based on the first set. Each of the two input data streams is de-interleaved and downsampled to generate the output signal, where the output signal includes four channels of data generated based on the first and second sets of branch metric values. Each of the four channels is of a lower data rate than each of the two input data streams.

    Abstract: Methods, software, circuits and systems involving a low complexity, tailbiting decoder. In various embodiments, the method relates to concatenating an initial and/or terminal subblock of the serial data block and outputting decoded data from an internal block of the modified data block. The circuitry generally includes a buffer, logic configured to concatenate an initial and/or terminal subblock to the serial data block, and a decoder configured to decode the data block, estimate starting and ending states for the data block, and output an internal portion of the serial data block and the one or more sequences as decoded data. The invention advantageously reduces the complexity of a suboptimal convolutional decoder, ensures smooth transitions at the beginning and end of the serial data block during decoding, and increases the reliability of the starting and ending states, without adding overhead to the transmitted data block.
