    摘要: A method for operating plurality of DSL modem transmitters integrated within a circuit card. The method includes each DSL modem transmitter: generating a full power physical frame when the DSL modem transmitter is provided with data to transmit; generating a low power physical frame having a control channel signal component and no data; and selecting between the full power physical frame and the low power physical frame for transmission from the DSL modem transmitter, wherein selection of the low power physical frame for transmission from the DSL modem transmitter is based only on the DSL modem transmitter having no data to transmit. The method further includes limiting aggregate flow of data to the plurality of DSL modem transmitters such that a total power required by the plurality of DSL modem transmitters is held below a predefined target power level.

    摘要: Receivers, methods, and computer program products can be used to demodulate a data signal transmitted from a digital source, which has a network sampling rate that is synchronized with a network clock. In an illustrative embodiment, a receiver includes a two-stage interpolator that receives digital samples of the data signal as an input and produces an interpolated digital sample stream to be filtered by an adaptive fractionally spaced decision feedback equalizer. The digital samples received in the interpolator are synchronized with a local clock; however, the interpolated sample stream is synchronized with the network clock. A slicer generates symbols for the samples output from the decision feedback equalizer by comparing the samples with a reference signaling alphabet. The receiver can be used in a V.90 client modem to demodulate pulse code modulated (PCM) data transmitted as pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) signals from a digital network. In addition, the receiver is compatible with legacy analog modem front ends and transmitters. The two-stage interpolator allows the timing synchronization to be performed with extremely fine granularity, which can be useful in PCM modems that typically require relatively high signal to noise ratios.

    摘要: Modems, methods, and computer program products select a data rate based on error signals in a modem. In an illustrative embodiment, error signals representing the difference between an output of an equalizer and an output of a detector are accumulated and an average error value is computed therefrom. A signal to noise ratio is determined using the average error value. The signal to noise ratio is then used to select a data rate. In another illustrative embodiment, the mean squared error at the output of the equalizer is determined and then used, along with the probability of error in correctly detecting a symbol, to select a data rate. Incorrect decisions in detecting received data symbols can cause a catastrophic failure in a decision feedback equalizer used in a modem receiver as errors are repeatedly fed back causing the tap coefficients for the equalizer filters to be shifted from their normal operating values. By adjusting the data rate in accordance with the error signals generated in a modem receiver, the decision feedback equalizer can operate with greater stability as the data rate can be reduced in response to increased noise conditions.

    摘要: Modems, methods, and computer program products for falling back to a low speed mode of operation upon detection of abnormal line conditions during startup perform a first phase of a multiphase startup procedure in accordance with a high speed mode of operation. A determination is then made whether the line conditions will support high speed communication. If a high speed connection cannot be established, then subsequent phases of the startup procedure will be performed in accordance with the low speed mode of operation. Otherwise, subsequent phases of the startup procedure will be performed in accordance with the high speed mode of operation. By detecting abnormal line conditions, such as digital discontinuity, severe attenuation, or a local loop having a non-linear frequency response, early in the startup protocol, the remainder of the startup protocol can be performed in accordance with a low speed more of operation as the detected abnormalities in the communication path will prevent the establishment of a higher data rate connection. Accordingly, the reliability and efficiency of the startup protocol are improved.

    摘要: A remote controller is coupled to a target system via a computer network A real time probe is installed in software executing on a target system, typically a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The remote controller includes a “debugger user interface” which accepts and interprets scoping commands issued by a developer. A controller network driver constructs appropriate network packets to be sent over the network to the target system. The target system has a control processor which runs a target network driver for receiving the network packets containing the scoping commands. The scoping commands are sent to an “embedded debugger” which performs the requested probing/scoping. When the DSP code runs across an address where the probe is installed, the embedded debugger will collect the signal values. The collected scope data will be interleaved and sent to the target network driver which, will encapsulate the information into suitable packets to send back to the controller via the network.
