    Abstract: An example method for facilitating a high power efficient amplifier through digital pre-distortion (DPD) in cable network environments is provided and includes receiving a first signal and a second signal at a DPD coefficient finder in an amplifier module, the second signal including transformations of the first signal from distortions due to channel effects and amplifier nonlinearity, synchronizing the first signal and the second signal, thereby removing the channel effects, computing a first vector representing an inverse of the nonlinearity of the amplifier, computing a second vector representing an inverse of some of the channel effects and providing DPD coefficients to a DPD actuator in the amplifier module, the DPD coefficients including the first vector and the second vector, the DPD actuator predistorting an input signal to the amplifier module with the DPD coefficients, such that an output signal from the amplifier module retains linearity relative to the input signal.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for detecting burst noise in a received orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) transmission. An OFDM transmission is received that includes pilots transmitted at different instances of time but on the same subcarrier during a predetermined time interval such that there are a plurality of different pairs of pilots that are on the same subcarriers during the predetermined time interval. For each possible pair of pilots, an equalized pilot is generated using received values for first and second pilots of the pair. A signal-to-noise ratio is computed for each equalized pilot. A determination is made as to which pilots, if any, are affected by burst noise by comparing the signal-to-noise ratio among the plurality of equalized pilots. Pilots determined to be affected by burst noise are removed from a channel response computation.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented herein to encode information bits. The information bits are partitioned into at least two groups based on inherent reliability and immunity to channel impairments of the respective bits. Each of the groups of information bits is encoded with a different coding strength. The resulting code word may be stored in a storage media or transmitted in a communication channel.

    Abstract: Presented herein are pilot-less noise estimation techniques that utilize a correlation between attributes of a received signal and the noise to generate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimate for the signal. More specifically, an interval of a digital signal is received a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) value is calculated for a plurality of bits in the interval of the signal. A scalar value that relates to a distribution of the calculated LLR values is computed. The SNR for the interval of the signal is determined based on a predetermined correlation between the scalar value and noise within the received interval of the signal.
