    摘要: A coprocessor (14) may be used to perform one or more specialized operations that can be off-loaded from a primary or general purpose processor (12). It is important to allow efficient communication and interfacing between the processor (12) and the coprocessor (14). In one embodiment, a coprocessor (14) generates and provides instructions (200, 220) to an instruction pipe (20) in the processor (12). Because the coprocessor (14) generated instructions are part of the standard instruction set of the processor (12), cache (70) coherency is easy to maintain. Also, circuitry (102) in coprocessor (14) may perform an operation on data while circuitry (106) in coprocessor (14) is concurrently generating processor instructions (200, 220).

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain frame synchronization for multi-carrier communication systems. Received signals are sampled and converted into frequency domain components associated with subcarriers within the multi-carrier communication signals. A sliding-window correlation (e.g., two-dimensional sliding window) is applied to the received symbols represented in the frequency domain to detect frame boundaries for multi-carrier signals. The sliding-window frame synchronization can be applied by itself or can be applied in combination with one or more additional frame synchronization stages. The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for frame synchronization of multi-carrier signals in PLC (power line communication) systems.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain carrier blanking in multi-carrier communication systems. When excessive energy is detected in one or more subcarriers within a received symbol for multi-carrier communications, those subcarriers are blanked for subsequent demodulation in order to avoid corruption of the demodulated data. A conversion from time-domain digital samples to frequency-domain values using an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and a threshold detector are utilized to detect corrupted subcarriers. Further, this frequency-domain carrier blanking can be implemented dynamically on a symbol-by-symbol basis to further improve demodulation performance by reducing decoding errors. The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for improving demodulation performance in power line communication (PLC) systems.

    摘要: Methods and corresponding systems in a Viterbi decoder include computing a maximum likelihood (ML) path in a Viterbi trellis in response to executing a first Viterbi algorithm. Thereafter, one or more merge points are selected on the ML path in a second Viterbi algorithm, wherein the merge points each have a path metric difference, which is a difference between an ML path metric at the merge point and a non-surviving path metric at the merge point. Merge points are selected based upon relative path metric differences associated with nodes on the ML path. Next, alternate paths in the Viterbi trellis are computed based on the ML path with alternate paths substituted at corresponding merge points. A passing decoded bit sequence is output in response to passing an error check, wherein the passing decoded bit sequence is associated with one of the one or more alternate paths.

    摘要: Methods and corresponding systems in a Viterbi decoder include selecting an input symbol in an input block, wherein the input block has a plurality of input symbols, wherein each input symbol has a Boolean value, a quality value, and an associated stage, and wherein the selected symbol is selected based upon the quality value of the selected symbol relative to a quality value of other input symbols in the input block. Thereafter, the Boolean value of the selected symbol is complemented to produce a complemented symbol. The complemented symbol is substituted for the selected symbol to produce an alternate input block. A Viterbi algorithm is executed using the alternate input block to produce an alternate decoded bit sequence, which is then checked for errors using an error check. The alternate decoded bit sequence is output in response to the alternate decoded bit sequence passing the error check.

    摘要: A technique for performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) includes storing, in a single-port memory, multiple signal points. A first group of consecutive ones of the multiple signal points are fetched (from a first line of the single-port memory) to a first input register associated with a processor that includes multiple arithmetic units (AUs) that are each configured to perform multiply accumulate (MAC) operations. A second group of consecutive ones of the multiple signal points are then fetched (from a second line of the single-port memory) to a second input register associated with the processor. Selected pairs of the multiple signal points are then loaded (one from each of the first and second input registers for each pair) into the multiple arithmetic units during an initial butterfly stage. Radix-2 butterfly operations are then performed on the selected pairs of the multiple signal points (using the multiple AUs) to provide respective output elements.
