    摘要: In a cable television (CATV) data communication network, channel throughput and communications robustness are increased in a manner that improves speed of data transmission while maintaining compatibility with existing specifications and equipment. Enhanced throughput can be realized using the return channel of the CATV network. Alternatively, data retransmission and/or diversity techniques can be used to improve throughput.

    摘要: A method is provided to provide data to automatically estimate channel performance in a communication system if a different order constellation is used comprising the steps of: receiving an input signal from the channel; passing the input signal to a slicer having an output signal; determining signal noise by taking the difference between the input signal and output signal; identifying a beginning of a noise event when the signal noise is greater than a predefined first threshold; identifying an end of a noise event when the signal noise is less than a predefined second threshold; and providing for output the beginning of the noise event and the end of the noise event. Other systems and methods are disclosed.

    摘要: A method and device for combating logarithmic quantization and Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) impairments that..are typical to PCM telephone lines is descried. An apparatus is described which includes a front-end unit which receives samples of the digital PCM line, an impairment identifier unit which identifies samples that have a high likelihood to have, large impairments due to the PCM line, an impairment estimator unit which estimates the value of impairment caused by the digital line, a samples reconstructor unit which fixes received samples by subtracting from them the value of the estimated impairment and an output unit transfers the reconstructed samples to a receiver. The method allows improving signal quality at the output of the PCM line, and thus improving data rates and robustness of digital communication receivers, and particularly of V.34 receivers, or V.90 transceivers that are digitally linked to the PCM, line.
