摘要:
A method and system use capacity-approaching rateless code to communicate multimedia data even with very short codewords, such as 64 bits or less, via erasure and noise channels. The method provides a way to design the edge degree distribution of rateless codes for any arbitrary channel. Based on an equivalent metric of decoding behavior in any channels, the degree distribution of a rateless code such as Luby-transform codes and raptor codes is optimized based on in-process status of decoding. A regularized least-squares optimization is used to avoid erroneous decoding. Multiple feedbacks can further improve the performance.

Interference in a received orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, modulated according to selected constellation points Sk, is reduced. The symbol includes a set of pilot signals and a set of data signals yk, where k is a number of consecutive subcarriers used for the pilot and the data signals. The pilot signals are thresholded to detect interfering pilot signals, which are then erased. Channels Ĥk are estimated using remaining pilot signals. The set of data signals are decoded based on the estimated channels Ĥk, and, for each bit bi in the set of data signals, a logarithmic likely ratio (LLR) log ∑ s k : b i = 0 1 y k - H ^ k s k 2 ∑ s k : b i = 1 1 y k - H ^ k s k 2 is determined. The LLR is an indicator of the likely interference.

A transmitter transmits data having a set of two or more priorities on subcarriers using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The transmitter includes a media access (MAC) layer, wherein the MAC layer further includes a queue for storing data at each priority, a rate control block connected to each queue, and a physical (PHY) layer. The PHY layer further includes a channel coder for each priority, wherein each channel coder is connected to the corresponding queue to receive data, and to the rate control block to send coding information.

An exemplary method is disclosed to accurately estimate the center frequency of a narrow-band interference (NBI). The exemplary method uses multi-stage autocorrelation-function (ACF) to estimate an NBI frequency. The exemplary method allows an accurate estimation of the center frequency of NBI in an Ultra-Wideband system. A narrow band interference (NBI) estimator based on such a method allows a low complexity hardware implementation. The exemplary method estimates the frequency in multiple stages. Each stage performs an ACF operation on the received signals. The first stage gives an initial estimation and the following stages refine the estimation. The results of all stages are combined to produce the final estimation. An apparatus based on such a multi-stage narrow band interference frequency detector is also disclosed to improve the accuracy by combining various filters with the detector.

A method determines a delay time between reference and data pulses in a time-hopping impulse radio system. Channel state information of a channel between two transceivers is estimated periodically. The delay time frame between the reference and data pulses is then determined according to the channel state information.

A method and system for equalizing a signal transmitted via a channel of a communications system stores an input signal received via the channel in a main buffer. A training signal portion of the received input signal is stored in a circular buffer as a circulating training signal. A mean square error of the training signal is minimized while estimating the transmitted signal, until the mean square error is less than a predetermine threshold. In this case, the input signal received via the channel is equalized directly to make decisions on symbols of the signal transmitted via the channel. During an initial stage of training, the mean square error is determined directly from the training signal, during subsequent stages of training the circulating training signal is used.

Broken links in a sensor network are avoided by representing the network as a DODAG. A rank associated with each node defines a position of each node relative to other nodes, and the rank is in a form of a proper fraction, and the rank of each node never increases to enable loop-free routing.
