    摘要: In general, one embodiment of the invention relates to a method for detecting data bits and estimating the channel reliability of each carrier. The detection method comprises (i) computing a complex phase difference between a current symbol and a previous symbol, (ii) separating a real value component (R) from a corresponding imaginary value component (I) forming the complex phase difference, (iii) determining at least one boundary constraint line of a complex phase map for a selected demodulation scheme, and computing an arithmetic combination of the real value component and the corresponding imaginary value component to detect whether a series of bits falls within a selected region of the complex phase map defined by the at least one boundary constraint line. Over N symbols propagating over a carrier, including the current symbol and the previous symbol, the channel estimation counts a number of symbols (less than N but greater than a threshold) that fall within an estimated area of the complex phase map. The estimated area is bound by boundary constraint lines based on a parameterized real value component.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for time-shift extraction in a wideband transmitted signal containing strong narrowband interference or noise. The time-shift extraction is based on the time domain and frequency domain relation of symbol misalignment. The invention uses the sign of the product of a recieved signal sample and a reference symbol in the frequency domain to determine the time-shift. It does not rely on the signal magnitude and is therefore less dependent on the signal gain. It also does not rely on the soft phase values, which have ambiguity for values more than three hundred sixty (360) degrees.

    摘要: A system and method of controlling the spectrum of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal. The method comprises receiving an input frame of data samples to be modulated onto orthogonal multi-carrier signals, performing frequency domain filtering and spectrum masking on the input frame of data samples, and modulating the respective frequency modified data samples onto a plurality of carriers. Such a system may include an over sampling logic to over sample the input data to increase the frequency resolution of the output spectrum, a wave shaping filter to perform frequency domain filtering of the input data, a spectrum mask to further modify the spectrum of the output signal, and an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate the modulated orthogonal multi-carrier signal. Another embodiment entails controlling the spectrum of the output OFDM signal by performing time-domain filtering.

    摘要: Energy efficient Ethernet with asymmetric low power idle. Low power idle mode is typically leveraged when both direction of a link do not have data traffic to transmit. Such a requirement reduces the application of low power idle due to the frequent existence of data traffic in only one direction. An asymmetric low power idle mode enables reduction in power consumption and signal emissions even when one direction has data traffic to transmit.
