A high bandwidth efficient spread spectrum modulation using chirp waveform. The invention provides a method and apparatus for effecting the high bandwidth efficient spread spectrum modulation using chirp waveform. The method involves reducing the data rate by narrowing the bandwidth or by using a smaller set of orthogonal sequences. The apparatus includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes an encoder, an interleaver, a serial to parallel convertor, a baseband modulator that modulates the original bits onto each orthogonal sequence, and IF modulation. The receiver includes a down converter, an analog to digital converter, digital correlators, a synchronizer, a parallel to serial convertor, a deinterleaver, and a decoder.

Method for wireless information transfer, in particular for mobile communications, in which an input signal (s1, g4) is subjected to a modulation in a transmitter (2 to 8) and reaches a receiver (11 to 15) through a transmission channel, whereby angle modulated pulses, carrying information and possessing a frequency spectrum, are generated in the transmitter in such a way that they can be time compressed in a receiver by means of a filter (13) with frequency dependent, differential delay time, also known as group delay, in such a way, that pulses arise with shortened duration and increased amplitude compared to the emitted pulses, and at least a portion of the information is imprinted onto the pulses using an additional modulation, independent of the angle modulation, and/or is used for controlling a parameter of the angle modulation that can then be registered in the receiver.

A spread spectrum data communication system utilizing a modulation technique referred to as differential code shift keying (DCSK) transmits data in the form of time shifts between consecutive circularly rotated waveforms of length T known as spreading waveforms. A plurality of bits are transmitted during each symbol period which is divided into a plurality of shift indexes with each shift index representing a particular bit pattern. The spreading waveform is rotated by an amount in accordance with the data to be transmitted or is conveyed in the difference between two consecutive rotations. A correlator employing a matched filter having a template of the chirp waveform pattern is used to detect the amount of rotation of the chirp within the received signal for each symbol. The received data is fed into a shift register and circularly rotated. For each rotation shift, the matched filter generates a correlation sum. The shift index chosen for each symbol corresponds to the shift index that yields the maximum correlation sum. Differential shift indexes are generated by subtracting the currently received shift index from the previously received shift index. The differential shift index is then decoded to yield the originally transmitted data.

An apparatus and methods are provided for network radio frequency ("RF") data communications. The apparatus preferably has an extended channel radio transmitter for selectively transmitting data communication radio signals across a plurality of different carrier frequencies which respectively define a plurality of extended data communication channels. The transmitter preferably includes a channel scanner for scanning the extended data communication channels for availability prior to transmitting across a selected one of the plurality of extended data communication channels. An extended channel radio receiver is responsive to the extended channel radio transmitter for receiving the data communication signals from the selected one of the extended data communication channels. The extended channel radio receiver preferably includes an extended channel data detection synchronizer responsive to the data communications signals being received by the receiver for synchronizing the transmitting and receiving of the data communication signals across the extended data communications channels. Any and all extended channel contending transmitters and receivers or transceivers within a network preferably sense and synchronize to the extended channel being transmitted within a predetermined period of time, i.e., within one bit time of Unit Symbol Time. This assures that normal carrier sense access control protocols operate correctly across the virtual channel which includes the plurality of possible extended channels.
摘要:
A method of transmitting and receiving data packets across a noisy communication medium, e.g., an AC power line. The data packets are transmitted using spread-spectrum chirps. A first sequence of the chirps forms a contention-resolution preamble used by transmitters to resolve conflicting contentions for access to the communication medium. The preamble is followed by a second sequence of chirps that form a start-of-packet symbol used by receivers to delineate the start of data within the packet. To simplify detection at the receiver, identical chirps are used in the preamble and the start-of-packet symbol. To enable the receiver to avoid erroneously interpreting preamble chirps as start-of-packet chirps, and thereby erroneously begin to accept packet data, chirps in the preamble are transmitted at a different pitch (i.e., different time period between inception of successive chirps) from chirps in the start-of-packet symbol.

A system includes a network node device operable to dynamically connect to different networks and different types of networks based on factors including latency and noise levels in each network. The system allows for low power transmission of data packets as well as obfuscation of transferred data packets by splitting packets for a single file across multiple nodes in a mesh network, where the mesh network then recombines the signals to externally convey the data. The system leverages the use of LoRa communication across one or more networks to communicate critical data, such as location data for particular devices, at long ranges with minimized risk of detection.

A sensor controller includes a transmitter configured to transmit an uplink signal including a first partial signal and a second partial signal. The transmitter is configured to transmit the first partial signal by direct spreading using a first spread code and transmit the second partial signal by direct spreading using a second spread code which is different from the first spread code and which has an identical chip time length to the first spread code. An active stylus includes a receiver configured to receive an uplink signal including a first partial signal and a second partial signal. The receiver is configured to synchronize with the uplink signal by detecting the first partial signal using a first spread code and thereafter detect the second partial signal using a second spread code, which is different from the first spread code and has an identical chip time length to the first spread code.

Methods for building, transmitting, and receiving frame structures in power line communications (PLC) are described. Various techniques described herein provide a preamble design using one or more symbols. One or more preamble symbols may be interspersed within a header portion of a PLC frame to facilitate estimation of a frame boundary and/or sampling frequency offset, for example, in the presence of impulsive noise.
