    摘要: A network-capable device is configured to: automatically detect the presence of a MoCA network (or other network, depending on the network protocol in the application environment), and configure itself for communication on that network at the appropriate communication frequencies. The network-capable device can be configured to create a new network (e.g., a new MoCA network) if there is no network broadcast signal within a band. Preferably, the network-capable device requires little or no user intervention to configure itself for operation at network operating frequencies or to create a new network where none is detected.

    摘要: According to some embodiments of the disclosed method and apparatus, systems and methods are provided that utilize extra payload capacity present in a symbol pad of a PHY payload to decrease the coding rate of an FEC coding scheme without increasing the symbol rate or decreasing the PHY rate of a corresponding data transmission. If a symbol pad length that would result from encoding a MAC frame using a default coding scheme would be at least as great as a parity length of the default coding scheme, and a new coding scheme maintaining the same parity length but having a reduced information bit length may be determined and used to encode the MAC frame. Owing the reduced information bit length, the new coding scheme has a reduced coding rate, but maintains the same number of OFDM symbols as the default coding scheme.

    摘要: A state machine method and system are provided for determining non-causal channel equalization thresholds. The method comprises: receiving a non-return to zero (NRZ) data stream encoded with forward error correction (FEC); setting x=0; in State 0, adjusting a third threshold (Vopt) in response to corrected bit errors; if x=0, setting a first and second threshold equal to the third threshold; in State 1, if x=0, simultaneously adjusting the first threshold and the second threshold, to minimize the total number of corrected bit errors; in State 2, following State 0, adjusting the first threshold, independent of the second threshold, to minimize the total number of errors; in State 3, following State 0, adjusting the second threshold, independent of the first threshold, to minimize the total number of errors; and, adding 1 to x and returning to State 0.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for feed-forward/feedback non-causal channel equalization in a communications system. The method comprises: receiving a non-return to zero (NRZ) data stream input; using three thresholds, estimating a first bit in the data stream; using two thresholds, determining a third bit value received subsequent to the first bit; comparing the first bit estimate to the third bit value; comparing the first bit estimate to a second bit value received prior to the first bit; and, in response to the comparisons, determining the value of the first bit. In some aspects of the method, the third bit value is determined in response to a prior third bit value determination. Determining a third bit value includes: distinguishing NRZ data stream inputs between fourth and fifth thresholds as a “0” if the prior third bit value was a “1”, and as a “1” if the prior third bit value was a “0”.

    摘要: A modified gain system and method are provided for non-causal channel equalization using feed-forward and feedback compensation. The method comprises: receiving a serial data stream first bit (present) input; comparing a second bit (past) value, received prior to the first bit input, to a third bit (future) value received subsequent to the first bit input; modifying the amplitude of the first bit input to compensate for the effect of the second and third bit values being equal; and, determining the value of the first bit input by comparing the amplitude modified first bit input to a Vopt threshold. When only one of the second and third bit values is a “1” value, a unity amplitude modifier is supplied. When the second and third bit values are a “1”, a low amplitude modifier is supplied. When the second and third bit values are a “0”, a high amplitude modifier is supplied.
