摘要:
Signal distortion in fiber optic systems is compensated for by forming decisions as to the transmitted information as a joint function of the received signal and of a feedback signal. The latter, in turn, is a function of decisions made for at least one signal transmitted over the fiber. The feedback signal determines the value of a threshold to which the received signal is compared in order to generate the decisions.

Transmission capacity of an optical fiber is increased by transmitting two optical signals of orthogonal polarizations through the fiber and distinguishing the signals from one another at the receiver by appropriately weighting polarization components representative of the transmitted signals. The weighted polarization components are summed to provide two output electrical signals that are proportional in magnitude to the two transmitted optical signals. Appropriate weighting of the signals eliminates cross-channel interference and maximizes the signal to noise ratio. Signals of arbitrary received polarizations are detected and separated from one another.

Higher information rates are achieved in lightwave communication systems by using optical signals of different polarizations to represent data as ternary digits. Each ternary digit assumes a value, for example, of either zero, logic 1 (e.g., an amplitude of one unit) on a first polarization, or logic 1 on a second polarization. The ternary digits are transmitted to a receiver through a single optical fiber by modulating the optical signals in time with one of these two polarizations or zero. The receiver determines the value of each ternary digit by determining that the received optical signal has a value of either zero or logic one on a particular one of the two polarizations.

A method and apparatus of joint processing a plurality of digital signal streams is disclosed. The method includes transforming a plurality of the digital signal streams from an original domain to a lower complexity processing domain. The transformed plurality of digital signal streams are joint processed, wherein the joint processing includes multiplying samples of the plurality of transformed digital signal streams by a processing matrix. The joint processed signal streams are inverse transformed back to the original domain. Diagonal elements of the processing matrix are adaptively selected to cancel transmission echo signals of the plurality digital signal streams introduced during transmission of the plurality digital signal streams depending upon signal coupling of the plurality of digital signal streams.

The present invention includes a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes a plurality of transceiver antennae. Each transceiver is spatially separate from at least one other transceiver antenna. Each transceiver antenna includes a transceiver antenna polarization. At least one transceiver antenna has a polarization that is different than at least one other transceiver antenna. Each transceiver antenna transmits a corresponding data stream. The wireless communication system further includes a plurality of receiver antennae. The receiver antennae receive at least one data stream. The transceiver antenna polarization of each transceiver antenna is pre-set to optimize separability of the received data streams. A transmission channel between the transceiver antennae and the receiver antennae can be estimated with a channel matrix. The pre-set transceiver antenna polarization of each transceiver antenna can be determined by minimizing a singular value spread of the channel matrix. A pre-set receiver antenna polarization of each receiver antenna can also be determined by minimizing a singular value spread of the channel matrix.

The invention includes a full duplex transceiver for transmitting and receiving communication signals. The transceiver includes 1 to N sample and hold circuits. Each sample and hold circuit receives a first signal that includes a far-end signal, and in some cases an echo signal, and in some cases alternatively or additionally cross-talk signals. The transceiver additionally includes a plurality of subtraction circuits. Each subtraction circuit receives an output of at least one of the sample and hold circuits. Each subtraction circuit subtracts at least a fraction of a replica signal from at least a fraction of the output of the at least one of the sample and hold circuits. The subtraction circuits generate an output that represent the far-end signal with substantially reduced echo and/or cross-talk interference, and is available for additional receiver processing.

A time-division-multiplexed fixed wireless loop system and methods therefor are disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of cells each having a base station and a plurality of terminals. The base station includes a steerable and adjustable multibeam antenna for communicating with each of the terminals, which have fixed antennas. A cell controller associated with each base station allocates communication time slots so as to minimize mutual interference between base station/terminal links sharing the same time slot. Slot assignment is based on regional, periodically updated interference measurements that are stored in data bases.

A ring oscillator has a plurality of oscillator outputs, each of which carries an oscillating signal of a given frequency and thus repetition period but with a phase shift of a predetermined fraction of the repetition period from any one of the oscillator outputs to a next oscillator output in a predetermined repetitive sequence. The inputs of a selector are each connected to a respective one of the oscillator outputs. The selector includes a number of individually actuatable selector switches that are so actuated as to establish a connection between the selector output and only any selected one of the selector inputs at any time. The actuation is accomplished in a first mode, in which the selector switches maintain the connection, or in a second mode in which the selector switches intermittently index the connection in the predetermined repetitive sequence among the selector inputs.

The invention includes an apparatus and a method for transmitting sub-protocol data units from a plurality of base transceiver stations to a subscriber unit. The method includes estimating time delays required for transferring the sub-protocol data units between a scheduler unit and each of the base transceiver stations. The method further includes the scheduler unit generating a schedule of time slots and frequency blocks in which the sub-protocol data units are to be transmitted from the base transceiver stations to the subscriber unit. The time delays are used to generate the schedule. The time delays can be used to generate a look ahead schedule that compensates for the timing delays of the sub-protocol data units from the scheduler unit to the base transceiver stations. The sub-protocol data units are wirelessly transmitted from the base transceiver stations to the subscriber unit according to the schedule. The time delays can be estimated by time-stamping sub-protocol data units before sub-protocol data units are transferred from the scheduler unit to the base transceiver stations, and estimating the time delays by comparing the times the sub-protocol data units are actually received by the base transceiver stations with the time-stamping.
