Cancellation of interference in a communication system with application to S-CDMA. A relatively straight-forward implemented and computationally efficient approach of selecting a predetermined number of unused codes is used to perform weighted linear combination selectively with each of the input spread signals in a multiple access communication system. If desired, the predetermined number of unused codes is always the same in each implementation. Alternatively, the predetermined number of unused codes is selected from within a reordered code matrix using knowledge that is shared between the two ends of a communication system, such as between the CMs and a CMTS. While the context of an S-CDMA communication system having CMs and a CMTS is used, the solution is generally applicable to any communication system that seeks to cancel narrowband interference. Several embodiments are also described that show the generic applicability of the solution across a wide variety of systems.

Signal processing under attenuated transmission conditions. Within an orthogonal signal space, the number of orthogonal signals that are used to transmit information from a transmitter to a receiver is reduced and the transmitted power of each of the now remaining orthogonal signals is modified; this may involve increasing the power of all of the remaining orthogonal signals equally or alternatively modifying them individually. The same modulation used before the reduction may also be used afterwards; within communication systems having multiple transmitter-receiver paths, this will ensure that the communication system's throughput and efficiency will remain unchanged even when one (or more) transmitter-receiver paths are highly attenuated. In addition, robust mode operation is provided for ranging and registering of transmitter devices when entering the communication system. In addition, the unused orthogonal signals may be employed to support interference cancellation of those orthogonal signals that are used to transmit information.

The invention is concerned with the mapping of m input bits to 2m modulation symbols of a two-dimensional symbol constellation. A quarter-quadrant constellation of 2m-4 modulation symbols that are located in a first quadrant of the two-dimensional signal plane is formed with each modulation symbol associated with a respective m-4 bit label. A quarter constellation of the two-dimensional symbol constellation is formed by adding to the quarter-quadrant constellation three copies of the quarter-quadrant constellation rotated by −90 degrees, 180 degrees, and −270 degrees, respectively, and then displacing the quarter constellation by a shift value Δ, with each modulation symbol associated with a respective m-2 bit label. The two-dimensional symbol constellation is then formed by adding to the quarter constellation three copies of the quarter constellation rotated by +90 degrees, 180 degrees, and +270 degrees, respectively. Each symbol of the two dimensional constellation is associated with a respective m bit label of the m input bits.

Trellis-enhanced precoding for trellis-coded transmission over channels with intersymbol interference allows coding and shaping gains to be achieved with minimal transmit power penalty for arbitrary signal constellations, provided the intersymbol interference channels are linearly invertible. This technique can be employed for trellis-coded transmission over a variety of communication channels. However, if the channel response exhibits spectral nulls, trellis-enhanced precoding cannot be applied because the corresponding inverse precoding operation at the receiver requires inverse channel filtering. For channels with a spectral null, this inverse operation can result in unlimited error propagation. The present invention allows trellis-coded transmission over channels exhibiting spectral nulls without incurring unlimited error propagation in the receiver. Coding gains are achieved with minimal transmit power penalty, like in the case of trellis-enhanced preceding. The invention is applicable for most signal sets used in practice.

Multiple operating configurations in data circuit terminating equipment (DCE) are enabled through multiple queues stored in a random access memory and which are loaded with bits and characters coming either from data terminating equipment (DTE) or the telecommunications line. The DSP processor stores bits provided by a transmit circuit in a first queue, determines characters from the bits stored in the first queue based on a first transmission protocol and stores the characters in a second queue. A third queue is used by a control processor to store characters to be transmitted to a remote DCE. The DSP processor determines bits to be transmitted from the characters stored in a third queue based on a second transmission protocol, and stores those bits in a fourth queue. When the DCE is operating in a synchronous mode, the DSP processor determines PCM words for transmission based on the contents of the second queue and stores them in a fifth queue for transmission. Similarly, when the DCE switches to an asynchronous mode, the DSP processor determines PCM words based on the contents of the fourth queue and stores them in the fifth queue for transmission. A similar queue arrangement is provided for the receive circuitry of the DCE.
摘要:
For a modem receiver using an adaptive equalizer with fractional tap spacing, method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the sample-timing phase. By evaluating bandedge components of the received signal in a particular way, a timing-phase vector signal is derived which is independent of the signal energy at the bandedges and of the quality of frequency separation of the filters for the bandedge signals. After an initial period, the current timing-phase vector signal is captured and stored as a reference. Thereafter, the sampling phase of the receiver is kept at its initial random value, represented by the stored reference timing-phase vector. The necessity to initially change the sampling phase in the receiver to a value which is forced by the received signal is avoided.

An apparatus and a method for fast acquisition of the sample-timing phase in systems using partial-response signalling are disclosed. For fast initial adjustment of the timing phase, a known preamble is transmitted. During that phase, previous schemes could occasionally hang up for an extended period of time at the unstable equilibrium point halfway between the desired sampling times. The new procedure eliminates the hangup problem by introducing a hysteresis effect which greatly diminishes the probability of reversals in the once chosen direction of timing-phase adjustment. Thus, reliable adjustment of the timing phase with a much shorter preamble is achieved. The apparatus for furnishing a timing correction signal .DELTA..tau..sub.n includes a timing gradient generator portion (41) and a data sample reconstruction portion (43). The data sample reconstruction portion (43) develops a present reconstructed data sample x.sub.n from the present received signal sample y.sub.n and a previous reconstructed data sample. The output x.sub.n of the data sample reconstruction portion is delayed and furnished to the gradient generation portion (41) which also receives the present received signal sample y.sub.n and a delayed received signal sample, for generating the timing correction signal .DELTA..tau..sub.n.
摘要:
A maximum-likelihood sequence decoder is used with a partial-response signaling system for processing sequences of sampled values from a communication channel or recording device. The partial-response signals can be duobinary, dicode, or partial-response class-IV. The maximum-likelihood decoding for each sequence can be based upon a two-state trellis. Instead of two survivor metrics for two states, only a difference metric is necessary.

A method and structure for converting a sequence of binary digits into a sequence of discrete signal values, e.g., phase values, of a modulated carrier signal for data transmission. By introducing additional redundant signal values and coding information in a state-dependent sequential manner, enlarged minimum Euclidian distance between possible signal value sequences is achieved which results in a reduced error probability when maximum-likelihood decoding is applied in the receiver.
