摘要:
A technique for enabling a secure, point-to-point wireless connection between a secondary computer (e.g., a personal digital assistant, etc.) and a primary computer (e.g., a notebook, a desktop, etc.) is disclosed. The primary computer is associated with an extended infrastructure through an access point. The present invention enables the secondary computer to communicate either with the associated primary computer or with an extended network indirectly through the access point.

A mixed waveform configuration for wireless communications including a first portion that is modulated according to a single-carrier modulation scheme and a second portion that is modulated according to a multi-carrier modulation scheme. The waveform is specified so that a channel impulse response (CIR) estimate obtainable from the first portion is reusable for acquisition of the second portion. The first portion includes a preamble and header and the second portion typically incorporates the payload.

A wireless transceiver including an oscillator, a radio, a baseband processor and MAC device that performs apiori frequency offset correction. The radio converts between RF signals and baseband signals. The baseband processor includes a frequency correction loop, an inverter and a combiner. The frequency correction loop generates a frequency offset signal based on a frequency difference between an oscillator reference frequency and frequency of a received signal. The inverter inverts the frequency offset signal and the combiner adjusts frequency of a transmit signal by the inverted frequency offset signal. The MAC processes received packets, identifies packets received from an AP, provides packets to the baseband processor for transmission, and controls the baseband processor to adjust transmit signals to a frequency of the AP. The baseband processor may include a memory or filter to store or update frequency offset values.

A method of canceling gain and phase imbalance including estimating a cancellation parameter based on the signal divided by its complex conjugate, calculating a correction value for the signal using the cancellation parameter, and correcting the signal by subtracting the correction value from the signal. Estimate the cancellation parameter may include performing a stochastic gradient algorithm or a least squares estimate. A cancellation system including a conjugate conversion unit, an estimator, a combiner, a converter, and a subtractor. The estimator estimates a cancellation parameter and the combiner combines the cancellation parameter and the complex conjugate signal to provide a cancellation signal. The converter converts the cancellation signal to a correction signal, and the subtractor subtracts the correction signal from the imbalanced signal to provide a corrected signal. The combiner may be an adaptable tap of a digital signal processing circuit.

A communications system may be characterized by a system error variance because the error variance provides an indication of signal corruption in the system. By strategically adding a secondary sensor to the communications system, system characteristics may be altered so that the system error variance is reduced. A system and method are presented, wherein a secondary sensor is configured to receive a disturbance effect and produce a filtered slave signal as a function of the disturbance effect. The filtered slave signal is configured to alter the characteristics of the communications system and thereby reduce system error variance.

A system and method is presented for enciphering information using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in which a subprocessor is configured to manipulate data as it is being loaded into the subprocessor memory. Thus, unlike implementations in the prior art, which require complete loading of data into a subsystem memory before data manipulation thereby creating a potential bottleneck in memory, this invention reduces the potential bottleneck in memory.
摘要:
A transmit processor that includes a transmit frequency domain equalizer (TX FEQ) that pre-compensates packets in the frequency domain to flatten transmit filter response to improve the spectral mask and reduce packet error rate (PER). The TX FEQ taps may be selected so that the average power at the output equalize the average power applied to the input. The TX FEQ may be designed to yield 64 QAM packets with no quantization distortion at the input of the an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) processor. The 64 QAM constellation map points and TX FEQ gain values are selected to avoid exceeding the bit resolution of the IFFT processor. The tones may be bound together into zones to reduce implementation complexity by reducing the number of TX FEQ taps.

A system that provides a multi-drop local area network (LAN) data transfer with devices on a wide area network (WAN) via a communication network is disclosed. Two methods for managing data traffic flow between individual nodes on a LAN and a WAN are also disclosed. The point to multi-point communication system may be implemented with a digital subscriber line (DSL) transceiver and compatibly configured communication devices coupled with each node or computer on a LAN. In one embodiment, the system uses a master computer on the LAN to manage protocol stacks to control the flow of downstream and upstream data traffic between computers on the LAN and WAN data traffic on a DSL. In a second embodiment, the master computer assigns at least one asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) level virtual connection (VC) to each computer on the LAN. Each computer on the LAN identifies data traffic designated to be sent to that particular computer, removes the data from the network, and notifies the master computer that the data traffic has been received. In the second embodiment, upstream data traffic is forwarded to the master computer, which maps the appropriate ATM VC identifier before forwarding the data to the DSL transceiver for transmission. Further alternative embodiments can use a community access television (CATV) network and a wireless network to bridge the LAN and the WAN.

The present invention relates to integrated circuits having symmetric inducting devices with a ground shield. In one embodiment, a symmetric inducting device for an integrated circuit comprises a substrate, a main metal layer and a shield. The substrate has a working surface. The main metal layer has at least one pair of current path regions. Each of the current path region pairs is formed in generally a regular polygonal shape that is generally symmetric about a plane of symmetry that is perpendicular to the working surface of the substrate. The shield is patterned into segments that are generally symmetric about the plane of symmetry. Medial portions of at least some segments of the shield are formed generally perpendicular to the plane of symmetry as the medial portions cross the plane of symmetry.
