    摘要: Methods for provisioning optical communications networks employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology provide for routing and wave-length assignment of a set of connection requests. Avoiding many of the pitfalls of exactly optimum solutions, the present heuristic methods provide much shorter execution times while providing near-optimum performance. Adaptations of the basic solutions provide design of restorable networks capable of handling a specified set of failures. This approach advantageously is based on considering all failures simultaneously, and performs better than solutions in which independent designs are developed for each failure. Networks designed using these methods store configuration information for primary network configurations and for one or more restoration networks. Upon startup or upon network failures, predetermined configuration directions are applied to wavelength selective cross-connects (WSXC) at each network node to establish (or reestablish) desired network node interconnections.

    摘要: Ghosts are canceled in received analog TV (for IDTV, EDTV, and HDTV) signals by utilizing the fact that there are short periods of time without the analog signals (the horizontal flyback interval between the lines) to process the received signal on a line-to-line basis using a finite impulse response (FIR) or an infinite impulse response (IIR) equalizer. This line-by-line processing (which can be implemented by periodic cleansing of the equalizer) overcomes the limitations of standard equalizers to allow for 40-50 dB of suppression of ghosts, even with nulls in the spectrum, as long as the ghost delay is less than the period of time without the analog signal. Furthermore, by using time inversion in combination with line-by-line processing, the stability problem of the conventional IIR equalizer is eliminated. The IIR equalizer may be implemented on a single digital integrated circuit. Alternatively, an FIR equalizer can be used which, although it may require multiple chips (i.e., more taps), can acquire and adapt to the ghosted channel more rapidly than an IIR equalizer. With line-by-line processing, FIR and IIR equalizers can eliminate any ghost with delays up to 11 .mu.sec in IDTV or EDTV. For larger delays, a standard IIR or FIR equalizer can be used as a preprocessor to eliminate small ghosts and an adaptive antenna can be used to eliminate large ghosts. Thus, with these techniques, the ghosting problem can be eliminated in all TV receivers.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for operating a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)-capable subscriber node are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a MIMO-capable physical layer transceiver and a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer block that measures a received transmission to determine channel conditions. Upon receiving a transmission wherein said channel conditions meet specified conditions, the MAC layer block transmits a message to an access point indicating that the apparatus wants to switch between a non-MIMO mode and a MIMO mode, and upon receiving an acknowledgement, the MAC layer block switches between the non-MIMO mode and the MIMO mode. An apparatus for operating an access node is also disclosed.

    摘要: Increased numbers of multipath transmission errors, that are detected by the performance of cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) over time and frequency on the words of a multitone transmission block that include mapped information bits, are correctable by forward error control as a result of the iterative performance of CRC over frequency on subblocks of the transmission block using retransmitted parity checking bits. A continuous record is maintained of the frequency channels that are detected as experiencing transmission errors in order to maximize the rate of data bit transmission on frequency channels that are likely to experience a reduced number of transmission errors.

    摘要: This invention is a technique for the substantially instantaneous self-healing of digital communications networks. Digital data streams from each of N nearby sources are combined and encoded to produce N+M coded data streams using a coding algorithm. The N+M coded data streams are then each transmitted over a separate long haul communications link to a decoder where any N of the N+M coded data streams can be decoded uniquely to produce the original N data streams. The orginal N data streams are then distributed to their respective separate end destinations. If any M or less of the N+M long haul communications links fails, i.e. as in a telephone line that gets cut or a long distance switch that fails, no rerouting of traffic need be done. Rather, the receiver detects loss of carrier on the failed link(s), and immediately supplies the missing data by decoding the data from the at least N remaining links. The technique overcomes a long felt problem of trying to reroute traffic by using sophisticated resource allocation techniques when a communications link fails.
