Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for increasing the effective processing speed of a parallel decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) by combining block processing and look-ahead techniques in the selection (multiplexing) stage. The present invention extends a parallel DFE by using look-ahead techniques in the selection stage to precompute the effect of previous blocks on each subsequent block, and to thereby remove the serial output dependency. The parallel DFE includes a multiplexor tree structure that selects an appropriate output value for each block and precomputes the effect of previous blocks on each subsequent block. A multiplexing delay algorithm on the order of logN is employed to resolve the output dependency and thus speeds up parallel block processing DFEs. The disclosed DFE architecture can be combined with pipelining to completely eliminate the critical path problem. Pipelining reduces the required critical path timing to one multiplexing time. The disclosed multiplexor tree circuitry for the parallel DFE groups multiplexor blocks into groups of two, referred to as block pairs, and provides at least one multiplexor for each block, i, to select an output value, yi, from among the possible precomputed values. The output of each parallel block depends on the possible precomputed values generated by the look-ahead processors for the block, as well as the actual values that are ultimately selected for each previous block. In order to reduce the delay in obtaining each actual output value, the present invention assumes that each block contains each possible value, and carries the assumption through to all subsequent blocks. Thus, the number of multiplexors required to select from among the possible values grows according to N·logN, where N is the block number.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for simultaneous estimation of frequency offset and channel response for a communication system, such as a MU-MIMO communication system. An iterative method is provided for estimating frequency offset and channel response for a plurality of frequency resources. The channel response is estimated for a set of users sharing a given one of the frequency resources. In addition, the frequency offset is estimated for the users in the set, wherein the channel response and frequency offset of users not in the set are maintained at their latest updated values. Initially, the channel response of a user can be an ideal channel response and the frequency offset can be approximately zero.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing noise, such as external noise, cross-talk and echo, in an unbalanced channel. A cross-talk canceller is disclosed that uses a multi-dimensional finite impulse response filter to process both the differential, d, and common-mode, c, components of a received signal. Recovery of the differential mode component of the received signal is improved by reducing the contribution of the common mode component. The common mode component of a received signal may be expressed, for example, as the average of two voltages or two current signals. The differential and common mode components of the received signal are equalized. The disclosed multi-dimensional cross-talk canceller reduces external noise; near-end crosstalk resulting from differential and common mode components on one twisted pair interfering with another twisted pair; and echo crosstalk resulting from differential and common mode cross-talk components on the same twisted pair.
