Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of channel estimation and equalization based on pilot signals, which acquire a channel estimation vector and effectively perform channel equalization by using scattered pilots and continuous pilots in a communication system to which an OFDM symbol is applied, such as a DOCSIS 3.1 Down stream PHY system using multiple carriers.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a an apparatus for reducing a reducing a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) for layer division multiplexing (LDM) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, the apparatus may include a peak remover configured to detect a peak power value of a subcarrier signal that is input and generate a peak removal signal that decreases the detected peak power value, and a processor configured to perform constellation remapping on a first signal generated by combining the subcarrier signal and the peak removal signal and then generate a second signal into which additional data is inserted.
Abstract:
An apparatus for combining a broadcasting channel may include a channel detector to detect a vacant Radio Frequency (RF) broadcasting channel used by a photoelectric converter that converts a first broadcast program as an optical signal to a first RF signal, a broadcast receiving interface to receive at least one second broadcast program, a broadcast modulator to generate a second RF signal by modulating the second broadcast program using the vacant RF broadcasting channel, and a channel combiner to combine a broadcasting channel used for the first RF signal and the vacant RF broadcasting channel.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for acquiring synchronization in a cable network, and a physical (PHY) transmitter and PHY receiver. The method for acquiring synchronization in a cable network according to an embodiment includes receiving, by a PHY receiver, a signal from a PHY transmitter, and acquiring, by the PHY receiver, channel synchronization when a symbol in which a channel preamble exists is detected from the received signal and a position of a frequency in which a channel subcarrier exists is detected from the detected symbol by performing a cross correlation operation on the received signal and the channel preamble.
