    Abstract: A symbol modulation system applicable to a body area network is disclosed herein. The symbol modulation system includes a symbol mapper. The symbol mapper is configured to determine a time within a predetermined symbol transmission interval at which a transmission representative of the symbol will occur. The time is determined based on a value of a symbol and a value of a time-hopping sequence. The time is selected from a plurality of symbol value based time slots, and a plurality of time-hopping sequence sub-time-slots within each symbol value based time slot. The symbol mapper is configured to generate a single guard interval within the symbol transmission interval. The single guard interval is positioned to terminate the symbol transmission interval.

    Abstract: A system includes an analog front end (AFE) unit to be coupled to a power line network, and a controller coupled to the AFE unit. More specifically, the AFE unit is to receive a packet signal from the power line network wherein, based on a first gain parameter, the AFE unit is to amplify the received packet signal. The controller is configured to calculate a root-mean-square (RMS) power of the amplified packet signal. Further, the AFE unit is to calculate a second gain parameter based on the calculated RMS power of the amplified packet signal and the first gain parameter, wherein the second gain parameter is to be used to amplify the received packet signal instead of the first gain parameter.

    Abstract: A PLC network system and method operative with OFDM for generating MIMO frames with suitable preamble portions configured to provide backward compatibility with legacy PLC devices and facilitate different receiver tasks such as frame detection and symbol timing, channel estimation and automatic gain control (AGC), including robust preamble detection in the presence of impulsive noise and frequency-selective channels of the PLC network. A MIMO PLC transmitter device may selectively vary amounts of cyclic shift (CS) for different transmit phases based on whether an initial CS vector elicits an ACK signal back from a PLC receiver within a timeout period.

    Abstract: A system includes a DPSK transmitter and a DPSK receiver. The DPSK transmitter is configured to encode a signal and transmit the encoded signal as a sequence of symbols. The DPSK receiver is configured to decode the sequence of symbols into bit values. The DPSK receiver further includes a first decoder which is configured to receive the sequence of the symbols, and to estimate extrinsic information for each symbol and forward the extrinsic information to a second decoder. Moreover, if magnitude of a LLR received form a second decoder is greater than a threshold, the first decoder is configured to determine a bit value of a received symbol, without considering neighboring symbols in the sequence of symbols. Still moreover, if the magnitude of the LLR received from the second decoder is not greater than the threshold, the first decoder is configured to continue to decode the received symbol and consider neighboring symbols in the sequence of symbols.

    Abstract: A system and method for reducing energy consumption in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a system includes a network coordinator configured to manage access to a wireless network. The network coordinator includes a controller. The controller is configured to define a channel hopping list that specifies on which channel a beacon signal is transmitted in each slot frame of the wireless network. The controller is also configured to set a number of time slots in each slot frame based on a length of the channel hopping list. The controller is further configured to transmit a first beacon signal in each slot frame on a channel specified by the channel hopping list. The number of slots in each slot frame causes the first beacon signal to be transmitted on a same channel in each slot frame.
