摘要:
Provided is a system and method for a modem including one or more processing paths. Also included is a number of interconnected modules sequentially arrayed along the one or more paths. Each module is configured to (i) process signals passed along the paths in accordance with the sequence and (ii) implement predetermined functions to perform the processing. Further, each of the modules has a particular degree of functional programmability and the degrees of functional programmability monotonically vary in accordance with the sequence.

A system and method for analyzing the real-time performance of a communication device. An aspect of the present invention records information input to the communication device during real-time operation of the communication device. A playback device or module may execute a model of the communication device in a non-real-time environment according to the recorded real-time input information. System execution in the non-real-time playback environment may, therefore, be equivalent to the original operation of the communication device that occurred in real-time. Accordingly, situations that occur in real-time may be efficiently recreated in non-real-time playback. An operator may analyze the past real-time performance of the communication device using the playback device or module, the recorded real-time input information, and a debugger utility if desired, without conducting additional trials to reproduce the desired operational situation.

Starting up and synchronizing multiple access points in a wireline communications circuit using transceivers compatible with a wireless communications protocol with an adaptive Time Division Multiple Access scheme for a multi-channel medium with colocated transceivers. Synchronization readiness is asserted and the access points wait for a synchronization start signal's assertion. Methods of operating an access point, its implementation as a chip are further disclosed. An access point assembly including the access points and a synchronization circuit are also disclosed.

An impairment compensation sequence for use in a communications system susceptible to one or more potential impairments each periodic in an integer number of symbols includes N phases, wherein N is selected such that each potential impairment, if present, is periodic therein, and a sequence of symbols, the sequence organized to place at least one instance of each symbol from a predetermined set of symbols in each phase to allow detection of the potential impairments in each of the N phases. The potential impairments may include robbed-bit signaling and padding. Using estimates prepared based on such an impairment compensation sequence, individual phase intervals may be grouped according to similarity of apparent aggregate effect of the impairments thereon without identification of individual impairments active in the particular phases. Constellation points may then be assigned based on group characteristics corresponding to phase intervals. In an exemplary realization, constellation points are assigned for each of 6 constellation indices based on amplitude estimates characteristic of the groups with which each of 4 corresponding phase intervals are associated.

Reliable detection of a call-waiting tone is provided by employing a correlation based technique. A modem or other device employing such a technique need not rely on carrier drop detection and is generally insensitive to other energy or noise on the line.

A Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is implemented in software on a general purpose processor in a manner which reduces the number of memory accesses as compared to conventional methods. In particular, an efficient implementation for a general purpose processor having a substantial number of registers includes inner and outer loop code which together make K [ ( L 1 + L 2 L 1 L 2 ) N + L 2 L 1 + 1 ] memory accesses and KN multiply-accumulates, where L1 is the number of output vector elements computed during each pass through the outer loop and where L2 is the number of taps per output vector element computed during each pass through the inner loop. The efficient implementation exploits L1+2L2 general purpose registers. For an embodiment in which L1=L2=8, inner and outer loop code make K ( N 4 + 2 ) memory accesses, which for filter implementations with large numbers of taps, approaches a 4× reduction in the number of memory accesses as compared to conventional methods.
摘要:
A method in a network device for providing end-to-end connection in a unified optical and coax network, comprising receiving at an integrated node device (IND) a frame from an optical line terminal (OLT), wherein the frame comprises a data frame and a logical link identifier (LLID), and placing the data in a one of a plurality of buffers based on the LLID, wherein the one of the plurality of buffers corresponds to a customer premises equipment (CPE) associated with the LLID, wherein the data frame stays intact in a media access control (MAC) layer.
摘要:
In a data communication system, a transmitter of a modem, for example, uses a single scrambler to operate in a data communication mode and in a non-data mode. During the data communication mode the scrambler is used to scramble data for communication by the transmitter. During the non-data mode, the scrambler is used to generate a non-data mode signal for communication by the scrambler. The modem may be an ADSL modem, for example, in which case the data communication mode is SHOWTIME while the non-data mode may be Q-mode.
