摘要:
A communication system includes a transmitter, a communication channel, and a receiver. The transmitter includes a pre-emphasis module, a summing module, a line driver, and a decision feedback pre-emphasis (DFP) module to produce a pre-emphasized serial stream of data based on a communications channel response and an inter-symbol interference level. The receiver includes a linear equalizer, a summing module, a decision module, and a decision feedback equalization (DFE) module. The linear equalizer produces an equalized serial stream of data. The summing module sums at least one data element of the equalized serial stream of data with DFE data elements to produce equalized data elements. The decision module interprets the equalized data elements to produce interpreted data elements to DFE module, which produces the DFE data elements from the interpreted data elements.

A comb filter is provided for achieving substantial attenuation of aliasing or imaging bans of a signal to be filtered. The comb filter can perform decimation or interpolation, depending upon its application. Integration can include an integration term with adjustable voltage accumulation at a particular sample point in time. The accumulation factor can be an integer or fractional number and is introduced at a sample count value L within each of M number of samples formed by the rate change switch within the comb filter. The amount of gain being introduced can possibly vary depending on the number of accumulation cycles programmed within configuration registers of the digital signal processor which carries out the comb filter functions. The programmable accumulator avoids having to implement a multiplication operation and the complexities associated therewith.

Techniques pertaining to scalable video codec are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a video image is analyzed and a region of interest (ROI) and a region of non-interest (non-ROI) are identified. By comparing the non-ROI image with that of a previous image, a background ignored identifier is created indicating whether the non-ROI can be ignored during encoding and decoding processes. Based on the status of the background ignored identifier, the encoder encodes the images into a basic layer (BL) and an enhanced layer (EL), and transmits the coded bit streams along with the identifier to a decoder. The decoder reconstructs the image based on the identifier and the BL and the EL bit streams.

Described are high-speed parallel-to-serial converters. The converters include data combiners with differential current-steering circuits that respond to parallel data bits by producing complementary current signals representing a differential, serialized version of the parallel data bits. One embodiment includes complementary data-input transistors to expedite the data combiner's response to changes in input data.

A method and apparatus for a transmitting entity within a micro-area network to establish a data transmission within the network includes processing that begins by determining the identity of a target entity within the micro-area network. The processing then continues by determining transmission characteristics of at least one communication path between the transmitting entity and target entity of the micro-area network. The processing then continues by determining a transmission convention based on the transmission characteristics. The processing then continues by providing the transmission convention to the target entity.

A transceiver includes a receiver section and a transmitter section. The receiver section includes a clocking circuit, a serial-to-parallel module, and compensation. The transmitter section includes a clocking circuit, parallel-to-serial module, and compensation. The compensation within the receiver section and transmitter section compensates for integrated circuit (IC) processing limits and/or integrated circuit (IC) fabrication limits within the clocking circuits, serial-to-parallel module, and parallel-to-serial module that would otherwise limit the speed at which the transceiver could transport data.

A video encoding technique producing an even output bit stream is disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, an instantaneous peak of the output bit stream is greatly reduced by dividing one image frame into a key area and a background area, then inter-frame encoding the key area and the background area in different frames respectively. In other words, a whole bit stream of one I frame in the prior art is distributed into two or more image frames in the present invention.
