A differential phase discriminator includes a phase compensation circuit to compensate for timing drift and error for recovering timing information in a digital phase lock loop. The differential phase discriminator uses a differential phase detector to compute the phase difference of two consecutive frequency domain signal samples. The phase compensation circuit determines a phase correction term by computing the difference between the absolute values of the real and imaginary parts of a frequency domain signal sample. A weighting factor is computed by adjusting the sum of the absolute values of the real and imaginary parts of the frequency domain signal sample with a ratio adjustment factor. A phase compensation value is then computed by multiplying the phase correction term by the weighting factor. The phase compensation value is added to the uncorrected output of the differential phase detector.

An equalizing device includes a first filter, a target filter, an error determining device coupled with the first filter and the target filter, and a coefficient processor coupled with the error determining device. The first filter has a first set of coefficients and processes input signals transmitted through a communication channel to reduce channel response. The target filter has a second set of coefficients and generates a target channel output. The error determining device then processes an output of the first filter and the target channel output to generate error signals. The coefficient processor maintains constant at least one coefficient of the first or the second sets of coefficients and updates the remaining coefficients of the first and the second sets of coefficients based on the error signals.

A collision detection method for a multiple access communication system is disclosed. By using the error term of a time-domain equalized signal as a detection source, an operation on the error term can be performed to determine whether collision occurs. For example, the mean square error and/or maximum value of the real part and/or imaginary part of the error term can be calculated or selected to distinguish the collision and non-collision situations. A collision detection apparatus for a multiple access communication system is also disclosed. The collision detection apparatus utilizes an existent adaptive equalizer and signal processing device for obtaining received information data bits to obtain the error term. The error term is further processed by a mean-square-error or maximum-absolute-value operator to determine the collision status.

Architecture of an efficient adaptive digital echo canceller includes a frequency domain update block, a far-end signal estimation block and a time domain echo cancellation block. The echo canceller has a training mode in which the frequency domain update block and far-end signal estimation block are first trained to estimate the echo channel and target channel. After the training mode, the time domain echo cancellation block uses the estimated echo channel to synthesize an echo replica and subtracted it from the received signal continuously before or in an operation mode. When a synchronization frame is received in the operation mode, the frequency domain update block and the far-end signal estimation block are used to retune both echo channel and target channel for improving system performance.

A method and an apparatus are provided in this invention to select an optimal swapping technique in discrete multi-tone system. The algorithm for performing gain-swapping is also proposed in the present invention. A swapping technique is selected from gain-swapping and a combination of bit-swapping and gain-swapping based on two index values such that the difference between the maximum mean square error (MSEmax) and the minimum mean square error (MSEmin) is minimized and the gain factor constraints are met. The first index value I is representative of range of improvement when adopting the gain-swapping as the swapping technique, and the second index value J is representative of range of improvement when adopting a combination of the gain-swapping and the bit-swapping as the swapping technique.

A receiver in a home phone-lines local area network system is proposed. The receiver can distinguish a valid signal and a collision backoff signal from noises in real time. The receiver for a home phone-lines LAN system comprises a QAM demodulator, an equalizer, a deconstellation, and a transmission data reading device. The receiver further comprises a signal match filter module and a detector. The signal match filter module comprises an adder and at least a cross-correlator. The adder adds the “I” signal and “Q” signal outputted from the QAM demodulator and outputs a combined signal. The cross-correlator performs match operation, such as a comparison operation or a correlation operation, of the combined signal and an identification value and outputs a match value to the detector. Since the signal match filter module connects directly to the output of QAM demodulator, it can immediately identify the identification code TRN16 contained in the received signal. The detector compares the match value with a threshold value and determines whether the received signal frame is a collision backoff signal frame or a valid signal frame. When continuous identification codes TRN16 are detected, the received signal frame is a valid signal frame; whereas when a single identification code TRN16 is detected, the received signal frame is a collision backoff signal frame.
