摘要:
An adaptive receiver to provide reliable estimates of the symbols for the high-order MQAM and MPSK modulated signals received in the presence of amplitude fading and phase dynamics induced due to time-varying atmospheric or terrestrial multipath fading encountered in wireless communication channels. The adaptive receiver encompasses an adaptive tracking loop comprised of adaptive channel fade envelope estimator derived from the high-order modulated signal, a novel phase detector to separately estimate the phase due to the fading channel and the reference oscillator from that due to the data modulation present in the received signal without the need of any pilot symbol or pilot carrier, and a Kalman filter, a fixed-lag smoother and a smoothed symbol detector.

A method for pre-processing a signal prior to receipt of the signal by a non-linear device (NLD) to compensate for AM-AM distortion and AM-PM distortion of the signal by the NLD. The method includes generating a modified amplitude rk based on an amplitude xk derived from a digitized envelope Ri,k of the signal, generating a scale factor ck based on the modified amplitude rk and the amplitude xk, generating an AM-AM compensated signal based on the scale factor ck, generating a first AM-PM phase compensation value based on the modified amplitude rk, and generating an AM-AM and AM-PM compensated signal by modifying a phase of the AM-AM compensated signal based on the first AM-PM phase compensation value.

Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for combining a plurality of codes. The plurality of codes may be binary codes having possible logical values of −1 and +1 and may comprise an even number of codes. An output of the combining v0,k may be given by: v0=sgn(vi), where vi is the sum of the first plurality of codes at the first time. Embodiments for allocating different power levels among various codes are presented.

A power controller in a communication system adjusts the transmitted power level using adaptive prediction of channel fading for maintaining the power level for improved communications by using an adaptive nonlinear predictor that explicitly takes into account the propagation delay and channel fading where the transmitted power is determined on the basis of the measurement of the received power levels over the individual diversity branches for providing communication through a fading channel with effective performance equivalent to that of a channel without any signal fading.

A scheduler for a grid computing system includes a node information repository and a node scheduler. The node information repository is operative at a node of the grid computing system. Moreover, the node information repository stores node information associated with resource utilization of the node. Continuing, the node scheduler is operative at the node. The node scheduler is configured to determine whether to accept jobs assigned to the node. Further, the node scheduler includes an input job queue for accepted jobs, wherein each accepted job is launched at a time determined by the node scheduler using the node information.

A network of memory and coherence controllers is provided which interconnected nodes in a cache-coherent multi-processor system. The nodes contain multiple processors operatively connected via respective caches to associated memory and coherence controllers. The system supports better processor utilization and better application performance by reducing the latency in accessing data by performing proactive speculative data transfers. In being proactive, the system speculates, without specific requests from the processors, as to what data transfers will reduce the latency and will make data transfers according to information derived from the system at any time that data transfers could be made.

An adaptive smoother includes a phase lock loop, a scintillation amplitude estimator and a fixed delay smoother operating on amplitude estimates for providing improved phase and/or code delay estimates of coherently modulated signals in the presence of dynamic phase process and time varying amplitudes. The adaptive smoother can be applied to GPS communication signals that are subject to fading due to small-scale temporal and spatial variations in ionospheric electron density. The adaptive smoother in a communication or navigation receiver results in improved signal tracking and navigation solutions.
