摘要:
Within a domain of a master device, devices that share a power line as a communications medium monitor signal detection windows to sense network status. The devices transmit sensed network status to the master device. The master device allocates channel resources based on the network statuses communicated by the devices within the domain.

A method of COFDM demodulation of symbols, each including first carriers conveying data and pilots having their frequency positions varying at least partly from one symbol to the next symbol. The method includes, for each symbol, a step of determining a first estimate of the transfer function of the channel for each carrier in a set of the first carriers of the symbol such that, for the frequency positions of the considered carriers, symbols different from the symbol include pilots, corresponding to a linear combination of second estimates determined for pilots at the frequency of said carrier. The coefficients of the linear combination are determined in iterative fashion, a new coefficient value being equal to the sum of the last value of the coefficient and of a term including the product between an iteration step and an error term, the iteration step being determined in iterative fashion.

The invention relates to a far-end crosstalk canceling circuit for a digital subscriber line transmission system, the transmission system including a plurality of line termination modems receiving discrete multitone symbols from corresponding network termination modems over a plurality of transmission channels. The invention estimates the modulated data actually transmitted by the network termination modems from the frequency components of the discrete multitone symbols received by the line termination modems and to evaluate the far-end crosstalk as a linear combination of these estimates. Far-end crosstalk cancellation for all the line termination modems is also provided in a centralized manner.

摘要:
A method and apparatus to reduce the level of quantification noise when transmission power varies with frequency. Power variation is carried out in the analog domain by filtering a frequency band and attenuating a complementary band in two signal analog-processing paths. More precisely, the method for reducing the quantification noise for transmitting a multi-carrier signal comprises an IFFT conversion step, a digital-to-analog conversion step and an analog-processing step of the signal frequencies on a band having a maximal frequency. Moreover, the analog processing step includes at least two processing paths in parallel to the analog signal, in which: for at least one first path, the signal is filtered so as to retain only the frequencies of a low-frequency band and, in parallel in at least one second path, the signal is subjected to gain, amplification or gain attenuation and, in a final step, the signals from the paths are summed.
摘要:
Communication systems that use different physical layer (PHY) protocols can coexist on a communication medium (e.g., a powerline medium) by using an Inter-PHY Protocol (IPP). The different protocols may use different signal modulation schemes but still may have some features in common. The IPP includes a resource sharing mechanism that regulates access to the communication medium by devices functioning as communication devices (for example, devices communicating over a power line). A subset of devices that communicate among each other form a logical network that shares the medium with other logical networks that use either the same PHY protocol or a different PHY protocol.
