摘要:
A method is provided for automatically improving throughput of an active channel in a communication system comprising: receiving input from one or more modules that identify and characterize impairments in the active channel; monitoring the input to track changes in the impairments; and changing channel parameters to improve throughput on the channel based on the changes in the impairments. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
摘要:
A novel and useful mechanism for the detection, estimation and correction of far-end cross talk (FEXT) caused by transmissions over adjacent wire pairs or cables. The detection, estimation and correction technique of the invention can be used to identify and compensate for FEXT impairments in Ethernet and DSL systems. The detection, estimation and correction is performed utilizing one of several techniques including linear forward filtering, backward decision feedback based filtering and a combination thereof. Results of simulations are presented illustrating the performance improvements provided by the present invention.
摘要:
A novel and useful baseline wander correction mechanism for use with transformer coupled baseband communication receivers. Parametric estimation of the transformer model is used estimate and cancel the baseline wander effect. A parametric model is used to model the baseline wander impairment created by the transmitter and receiver transformers as a high pass filter having an exponential decay parameter alpha. A correction signal for both the far end and echo signal paths are calculated and summed to generate a total correction signal. The total correction signal is partitioned into an analog correction signal that is applied to the analog portion of the communications receiver and into a digital correction signal that is similarly applied to the analog portion of the communications receiver.

A system is provided to automatically estimate performance of a receiver for receiving input signals, the input signals having a carrier frequency and a baud rate, from a channel in a communication system and the effect of highly correlated noise cancellation on performance of the receiver, while no active transmission is occurring on the channel, comprising: a digital front end in the receiver for receiving samples of the input signals; a predictor coupled to the digital front end for predicting highly correlated noise in a second sample of the input signal; and a subtraction unit coupled to the predictor for subtracting the predictor output from the second sample to determine residual noise in the second sample. Other systems and methods are disclosed.

摘要:
A novel apparatus for and method of estimating the cable length of an active network link. The cable diagnostics mechanism of the invention is particularly suited for use in estimating the length of Ethernet network between two edges when the link is active, i.e. data is being transmitted in both directions simultaneously and the transmission of test pulses is not possible. The cable length estimation mechanism of the present invention is based on a well-known property of the spectrum of the insertion loss of the cable, namely, the linear relationship between the attenuation of the cable at a given frequency in decibels and the cable length. Information characterizing this relationship is extracted and used to determine the length of the cable.

A method and apparatus provide phase, frequency and gain characterization and mitigation in a synchronized code division multiple access (SCDMA) burst receiver via use of dedicated phase and frequency correction loops that implemented to deal with the unique characteristics of a SCDMA signal. The way coded and un-coded bits are interleaved within a given frame requires that all symbols related to that frame be captured in a dedicated storage medium such as a RAM prior to the beginning of the data processing. The method and apparatus substantially eliminate gain, phase, and frequency, among other impairments caused by the transmitter, channel and analog parts of the SCDMA burst receiver.

A method is disclosed for providing data for automatically estimating channel performance if different parameters of a Reed-Solomon (RS) code are used in a communication system while transmission is occurring in the communication system without changing the current Reed-Solomon (RS) code parameters.
