    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for refining constellation values in a Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) code point sequence of a PCM modem by averaging received levels associated with received symbols for a code point of interest received during data mode operation of the PCM modem so as to provide an average received level for the code point of interest and revising a constellation value corresponding to the code point of interest in the PCM code sequence based on the average received level for the code point of interest so as to provide a refined constellation value. Preferably, the averaging is performed by detecting that a symbol corresponding to the code point of interest has been received by the PCM modem and incorporating the received level of the symbol into a running sum of previously received levels for the symbol. If a predefined number of received levels have been incorporated into the running sum then the running sum is divided by the predefined number of receive levels. It is also preferred that, after determining the sum for the code point of interest, the running sum is set to zero and a new code point selected as the code point of interest.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a method of managing power in a computer system. A device of the computer system is operated at a selected power-state. The power consumption of the computer system is monitored. If the power consumption of the computer system is approaching or has exceeded a power cap selected for the computer system, then a request to reduce the power-state for the device is generated in response. The operating system is used to service the request to reduce the power-state according to the priority of the request. The reduced power state is forced out-of-band following the request to reduce the power-state if the request is not immediately serviceable by the operating system. Different approaches can be taken to force the reduced power state, using, for example, system management mode or a platform environment control interface.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling writing and reading of data in an array of A storage fields of a probe-based data storage device in which data is written to and read from the array of storage fields by a corresponding array of probes. One method provides error-tolerance by exploiting the inherent parallelism of the probe storage array. A user data block to be written to the A-field array is first coded to produce a plurality of C-byte codewords, such that r.C=k1A where r is the number of codewords and k1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1. A sub-blocks of k1 bytes are produced from the codewords by selecting successive bytes of each sub-block cyclically from the r codewords. The A sub-blocks are then written via respective probes to the corresponding storage fields of the storage field array.

    摘要: Receivers, methods, and computer program products can be used to demodulate a data signal transmitted from a digital source, which has a network sampling rate that is synchronized with a network clock. In an illustrative embodiment, a receiver includes a two-stage interpolator that receives digital samples of the data signal as an input and produces an interpolated digital sample stream to be filtered by an adaptive fractionally spaced decision feedback equalizer. The digital samples received in the interpolator are synchronized with a local clock; however, the interpolated sample stream is synchronized with the network clock. A slicer generates symbols for the samples output from the decision feedback equalizer by comparing the samples with a reference signaling alphabet. The receiver can be used in a V.90 client modem to demodulate pulse code modulated (PCM) data transmitted as pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) signals from a digital network. In addition, the receiver is compatible with legacy analog modem front ends and transmitters. The two-stage interpolator allows the timing synchronization to be performed with extremely fine granularity, which can be useful in PCM modems that typically require relatively high signal to noise ratios.

    摘要: Digital impairments in a set of Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) signal levels that are received at a client modem from a server modem are identified by compressing the set of PCM signal levels into a signature. Digital impairments are determined based on the signature. In a preferred embodiment, the PCM signal levels are compressed into a signature by identifying clusters and/or skips in the set of PCM signal levels. In particular, when transmitting PCM signal levels from a server modem to a client modem over a connection that is subject to digital impairments such as Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) and/or PAD digital impairments and quantization, some adjacent PCM signal levels may become identical or very close to one another. Moreover, other adjacent signal levels may have a difference that is at least approximately twice the difference of other levels. The former phenomenon is referred to as a “cluster” and the latter phenomenon is referred to as a “skip”. By identifying clusters and/or skips in the set of PCM signals that are received at the client modem from the server modem, a signature of the network connection may be obtained. Digital impairments including RBS and/or PAD may be identified using the signature.

    摘要: Modems, methods, and computer program products provide a dual power mode capability in which a maximum power limit is determined for a received signal and, based on that determination, at least one modem operational parameter is adjusted and/or digital impairment learning (DIL) sequence is selected. Adjustments made to the operational parameters may allow a modem to operate in a high power mode to achieve a higher downstream data rate. The higher downstream data rate may be attributed to an improved SNR resulting from an increase in data transmission power. Moreover, the modem may also operate in a normal power mode where the operational parameters may be set to maximize the client modem receiver's dynamic range. By selecting the DIL sequence based on the power limit, a DIL signal containing symbols having power levels within the power limit may be selected.
