Abstract:
A system may concurrently transport datastreams over the common, differential and phantom modes of pair conductor media. The system may implement the phantom mode transport using the differential of multiple common modes. In multiple conductor pair implementations, multiple phantom modes may share a single return signal route. In some implementations, usage of common modes and phantom modes may be paired with schemes to increase signal robustness.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for unconstrained frequency domain adaptive filtering include one or more circuits that are operable to select one or more time domain coefficients in a current filter partition. A value may be computed for each of the selected one or more time domain coefficients based on a corresponding plurality of frequency domain coefficients. The corresponding plurality of frequency domain coefficients may be adjusted based on the computed values. A subsequent plurality of frequency domain coefficients in a subsequent filter partition may be adjusted based on the computed values. Input signals may be processed in the current filter partition based on the adjusted corresponding plurality of frequency domain coefficients. A time-adjusted version of the input signals may be processed in a subsequent filter partition based on the adjusted subsequent plurality of frequency domain coefficients.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for interference cancellation substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims. In this regard, a receiver may be operable to receive a differential signal via a differential channel, and to sense a common mode signal on the differential channel. A frequency range in which interference is present in the common mode signal may be determined. The differential signal and the common mode signal may be filtered to attenuate frequencies outside the determined frequency range. A phase and/or amplitude of the filtered common mode signal may be adjusted based on the filtered differential signal and the adjusted and filtered common mode signal may be subtracted from the received differential signal. The common mode signal may be sensed via a pair of resistors coupled to the differential channel.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of processing Ethernet physical layer frames are disclosed. One such system includes processing circuitry operable to map a plurality of bits in an Ethernet media access control (MAC) frame into a plurality of symbols selected from a first multi-dimensional constellation. The first multi-dimensional constellation has a dimension higher than that of a second multi-dimensional constellation defined by IEEE 803.2an. The symbols in the first multi-dimensional constellation have a minimum separation not less than that of the second multi-dimensional constellation. The system also includes second processing circuitry operable to provide noise protection for a plurality of additional bits produced by the mapper as a result of the dimension of the first multi-dimensional constellation being higher than that of the second multi-dimensional constellation.
Abstract:
Transceiver architecture includes circuitry and a method to transmit and receive high speed WAP data over lower speed cabling such as Cat5e. The method begins by measuring quality of a wired bi-directional communications channel. The method continues by selecting a maximum possible data transmission rate over the wired bi-directional communications channel for the measured quality level and when the maximum possible data transmission rate is a reduced data transmission rate less than a maximum data transmission rate of the transceivers, proportionally adjusting clock rates of circuit elements of the first and second transceiver to transfer the data at the reduced data transmission rate. The method includes dividing data frames of the data to be transmitted N times, where N=number of layers of at least a portion of identical transceiver processing circuitry which is connected to twisted wiring pairs of the wired bi-directional communications channel.
