摘要:
Novel tools and techniques for providing video calling solutions. In some such solutions, a video calling device resides functionally inline between a set-top box and a television set. Such solutions can provide, in some cases, high performance video calling, high video quality, simplified installation, configuration and/or use, and/or the ability to enjoy video calling in an inclusive, comfortable environment, such as a family room, den, or media room.

A method, system, and computer-readable medium for detecting an interferer in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes receiving a signal having P tones, each of the P tones being associated with a frequency, determining a first signal quality of each of the P tones, determining a second signal quality of each of the P tones, and detecting the interferer that occupies the same frequency as one of the P tones based on the respective first signal quality and the respective second signal quality. The first signal quality and second signal quality behave differently when the interferer is present. The detecting the interferer includes determining a discrepancy in the behavior of the first signal quality and the second signal quality.

A method of optimally distributing signal power for multiple users over a xDSL or wireless channel considers uses computationally efficient tools to achieve improved crosstalk avoidance. The method chooses between EQPSD and FDS signaling in a fashion that maximizes overall data rate. Rather than choosing EQPSD signaling in regions where there is low self-NEXT, but where the echo is high (relative to signal power), the method selects FDS signaling since the communication system acts in a manner similar to self-NEXT in such regions.

System and method for reducing interference to existing devices. A preferred embodiment comprises specifying a frequency range for a set of dummy signals, specifying a clipping function to ensure that the set of dummy signals do not exceed a maximum power constraint, incorporating a least squares solution for computing the set of dummy signals into the clipping function, and iterating the clipping function until a terminating condition is reached. The use of the clipping function limits the magnitude of the dummy signals, to ensure that dummy signals do not exceed a maximum power constraint.

A system, method and computer-readable medium for encoding and decoding digital information over a channel is provided. Type Mapping is employed and is based on the partitioning of vectors over an alphabet into “types” and using enumeration for the encoding and decoding process. Type mapping allows for signal alphabets of arbitrary size and date rate flexible coding. Tradeoffs between optimal rate versus Signal to Noise Ratio are provided and works as a compliment to the Forward Error Control that may be employed in communications products.

摘要:
Crosstalk can be cancelled in a composite communication signal (ym) which includes a primary signal component associated with communication data and which also includes a crosstalk signal component produced by applying a crosstalk coupling function to crosstalk data. An estimate (R, RCb(0), RCb(Δf)AVG) of a statistical characteristic of the crosstalk signal component is obtained from the composite communication signal. A cancellation signal (26, 46) is generated based on the statistical characteristic estimate, and an estimate (29) of the communication data is produced based on the composite communication signal and the cancellation signal.
