    摘要: “Multiple approaches are presented herein to perform CFO correction within CDMA systems having multiple users. Any communication receiver may be adapted to perform the CFO correction in this manner CDM. One approach assumes a diagonal CFO matrix to decouple the different codes' soft symbol decisions, and each soft symbol decision is independently corrected to obtain hard decisions. Another approach employs direct CFO matrix inversion and multiplies it by a despread soft symbol decision vector to obtain corrected soft symbol decisions. Another approach first performs a single-user correction on the despread soft symbol decisions so, which are then sliced to obtain initial hard decisions. In the next step of this particular approach the initial hard decisions are multiplied by the CFO coefficients to obtain an estimate for the undesired ICI, which is then subtracted from the despread soft symbol decisions to obtain cleaner soft symbol decisions, which then can undergo slicing.”

    摘要: Hardware allocation techniques are described for use in a multi-channel communication environment. The techniques may be used to reduce the number of gates needed for processing and/or to improve the efficiency and/or speed of a communication system. For example, resources that are under-utilized may be removed or allocated to another operation or user. In an exemplary implementation, a receiver includes a plurality of signal processing modules corresponding to respective channels and a hardware allocation module. The hardware allocation module allocates resources in the signal processing modules based on utilization of at least one of the resources.

    摘要: A system for detecting collisions in a shared communications medium, such as a TDMA medium, includes a receive path adapted to generate a first intermediate signal, a second intermediate signal, and a data symbol sequence from an input signal. A preamble detection module generates a correlation metric from the first intermediate signal. A power measurement module generates a power indication signal from the second intermediate signal. A noise measurement module generates a noise indication signal from the second intermediate signal and the data symbol sequence. A processing module is adapted to characterize the input signal as a collision for certain values of correlation metric, power indication signal, and noise indication signal.

    摘要: A system for periodic noise avoidance including a timing discriminator receiving an input signal from a communications channel. The input signal includes data packets and empty slots with periodic noise. The timing discriminator outputs a first error measurement of periodic noise width and a second error measurement of periodic noise position. A first loop filter inputs the first error measurement and outputs a width of the empty slots. A second loop filter inputs the second error measurement and outputs a frequency of the periodic noise. An oscillator inputs the width of the empty slots and the frequency, and outputs an empty slot waveform to the timing discriminator.

    摘要: Upstream frequency response measurement and characterization. Signaling is provided between respective communication devices within a communication system. Based upon at least one of these signals, one of the communication devices captures a number of sample sets corresponding thereto at different respective frequencies (e.g., a different respective center frequencies, frequency bands, etc.). Then, spectral analysis is performed with respect to each of the sample sets to generate a respective and corresponding channel response estimate there from. After this number of channel response estimates is determined, they are combined or splice together to generate a full channel response estimate. In implementations including an equalizer, different respective sample sets may correspond to those that have undergone equalization processing and those that have not.

    摘要: Based on tracked amplitude modulation (e.g., which may be hum modulation), compensation for amplitude modulation is applied across all orthogonal signal components of a non-time based orthogonal coded signal. Some examples of such non-time based orthogonal coded signals include an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, a synchronous code division multiple access (S-CDMA) signal, or a code division multiple access (CDMA) signal, etc. The compensation may be applied to the signal across multiple frames, on a frame by frame basis, or intra-frame (i.e., changing and compensating differently within a frame). This compensation for amplitude modulation may be applied in conjunction with adaptive equalization in which different filter taps are applied to each respective orthogonal signal component of the signal. Also, automatic gain control (AGC) may be performed (e.g., before digital sampling) of a received signal in conjunction with the amplitude modulation compensation.

    摘要: Narrowband ingress estimation and characterization using equalizer taps. A equalizer including a feed forward equalizer (FFE) and a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is implemented to process an input signal thereby generating an output signal. Analysis of the frequency response of the equalizer including the FFE and the DFE of the equalizer allows for the determination of whether or not narrowband ingress exists within the signal received by the equalizer. For example, analysis of the signal output from the equalizer provides for determination of the overall frequency response of the equalizer. In addition, analysis of the respective equalizer coefficients within one or both of the FFE and the DFE of the equalizer may be used to determine the overall frequency response of the equalizer. Narrowband ingress may be identified when the combination of the FFE (having a notch therein) and the DFE provides for an overall flat frequency response.

    摘要: Distortion and aliasing reduction for digital to analog conversion. Synthesis of one or more distortion terms made based on a digital signal (e.g., one or more digital codewords) is performed in accordance with digital to analog conversion. The one or more distortion terms may correspond to aliased higher-order harmonics, distortion, nonlinearities, clipping, etc. Such distortion terms may be known a priori, such as based upon particular characteristics of a given device, operational history, etc. Alternatively, such distortion terms may be determined based upon operation of a device and/or based upon an analog signal generated from the analog to conversion process. For example, frequency selective measurements made based on an analog signal generated from the digital to analog conversion may be used for determination of and/or adaptation of the one or more distortion terms. One or more DACs may be employed within various architectures operative to perform digital to analog conversion.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to systems and method for attenuating intermodulation interference. In particular, methods and systems to attenuate intermodulation interference contained within an aggregate signal having a transmitted signal that was transmitted over a communications channel having channel effects that produce the intermodulation interference are provided. The communications channel may be a cable television distribution network and the signal may be a cable television signal. A method is provided to predict when intermodulation interference will be large, so that actions within a receiver can be taken to reduce the impact of the interference and improve overall receiver performance.
