Abstract:
A method and system for modeling and calibrating duty cycle distortion (DCD) of a Serializer and Deserializer (SerDes) device, including first generating a clock DCD signal. Once the clock DCD signal is generated, it is calibrating based upon results obtained from a filtering process of the clock DCD signal. Once the clock DCD signal is calibrated, a data DCD signal is generated and calibrated based upon results obtained from a filtering process of the data DCD signal.
Abstract:
A method and system for evaluating performance of a device by on-chip determination of BER may include establishing and generating PRBS test packets in a closed communication path internally within a physical layer device (PLD) and a remote PLD. A BER for the PLD may be determined from within the PLD based on a comparison of at least a portion of the generated test packets with at least a portion of the generated test packets transmitted over the closed communication path received by the PLD via the closed communication path from the remote PLD. A transmit path of the PLD may be internally coupled to a receive path of the PLD, and a receive path of the PLD may be internally coupled to a transmit path of the PLD. The PLD may be internally configured to operate in an internal optical loopback mode or an internal electrical loopback mode.
Abstract:
A loopback circuit connecting the output of a receiver section to a transmitter section of a transceiver circuit has two or more loopback channels. In this way, the data rate is reduced, reducing the signal loss that occurs even over such short distances at very high data rates.
Abstract:
A method and system for evaluating performance of a device by on-chip determination of BER may include establishing a closed communication path internally within a physical layer device (PLD). A bit error rate for the PLD may be determined from within the PLD based on a ratio of a number of bits in test packets generated within the PLD that are transmitted over the closed communication path, and a number of transmitted bits in the test packets that are received by the PLD via the closed communication path. A transmit path of the PLD may be internally coupled to a receive path of the PLD, and a receive path of the PLD may be internally coupled to a transmit path of the PLD. The PLD may be internally configured to operate in an internal optical loopback mode or an internal electrical loopback mode.
Abstract:
The present invention makes it possible to detect abnormality in an error detecting function early while minimizing adverse effects on transfer performance. The present invention provides a method for diagnosing a transfer data ensuring system in which a transmitting apparatus transmits transmission data provided with an error detection code and then receives a result of error detection (referred to as a transfer reply below) carried out by a receiving apparatus to verify the transferred data, the method comprising transmitting dedicated diagnosis data provided with an incorrect error detection code and diagnosis data provided with a correct error detection data and diagnosing the error verifying function on the basis of a transfer reply to the transmitted data.
Abstract:
A radio network element, including means for receiving data packets from a user equipment in a soft handover connection, means for determining whether the received data blocks have been received successfully or unsuccessfully, means for running a retransmission process for an un-successfully received data packet, and means for receiving control information instructing the size of memory to be reserved for retransmission processes of the connection.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method of simulating the effects of a plurality of channels on a signal that includes the steps of acquiring a state transition matrix for each of said plurality of channels; acquiring an error matrix for each of said plurality of channels; selecting the first channel to be simulated; assuming that the signal is in a particular state; receiving the signal; generating a first number; determining the state to which the signal transitions; transitioning the signal to the state determined in the last step; generating a second number; determining what errors, if any, to inject into the signal by comparing the second number to entries in the column of the error matrix of the corresponding channel that matches the state of the signal; if one of the errors determined in the last step is lost signal then discarding the signal, not injecting any other error into the signal, selecting another channel if the user desires, assuming that the next signal selected is in the same state to which the previous signal transitioned, returning to the fifth step if another channel is selected, and transmitting the signal if another channel is not selected; and injecting the errors determined in the tenth step into the signal, selecting another channel if the user desires, returning to the fifth step if another channel is selected, assuming that the next signal selected is in the same state to which the previous signal transitioned, and transmitting the signal if another channel is not selected.
Abstract:
A method for the transmission of digital signals, particularly in the AM bands (broadcasting bands), with high-level modulation, preferably 32 APSK or 64 ASPK, being used for data blocks to be transmitted. At the receiving end, time-periodic measurements of a noise are carried out and noise signals determined therefrom are subtracted from received signals.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for allowing a modem transmitting data in the data mode to initiate retraining mode due to changing line conditions. The modem inserts a test signal within the data received from a computer system. The data and test signal are encoded and sent over a network to a second modem. The second modem compares the test signal with a standard test signal, and if the test signal received is different from the standard test signal, the second modem initiates retraining of the modems to adjust for the varying line conditions.
Abstract:
Telecommunications networks require a variety of tests to monitor their proper operations. Performance monitoring (and fault detection) of the physical layer of a transmission system is one of them and is usually accomplished by using a bit error rate test (BERT). The BERT of the invention uses modified ATM idle cells to conduct one-way, bidirectional and loopback BERT. ATM idle cells are loaded with BERT data at the transmit end and recovered at the receive end. The BERT data are processed according to the different data rates of the ATM transmission system. Performance parameters are derived from the received BERT data. The disclosure describes a method as well as a system for performing such a test.
