    摘要: A technique for use in communications systems utilizing busy and idle modes. In the busy mode, symbols representative of data are transmitted to system end users. In the idle mode, during which no data is communicated to end users, idle mode symbols are transmitted. Such idle mode symbols are not used to represent data and are only transmitted during the idle mode. Advantageously, such idle mode symbols maintain adaptive apparatus, such as AGC circuits, NEXT cancellers and equalizers, in their properly converged state. In the disclosed embodiment, the idle mode symbols are the innermost symbols in a signal constellation and transition from the idle to busy mode is represented by the transmission of a predetermined number of outermost symbols in the signal constellation. Use of such symbols for idle-to-busy mode transitions advantageously provides ready detection of such transitions. In addition, use of the innermost symbols for the idle mode reduces spectral emission and crosstalk.

    摘要: Symbols which are representative of customer data are transmitted in bursts. In the idle mode, i.e., the time intervals between bursts, symbol sequences which are a priori known to the receiver are transmitted. Such idle mode symbols maintain adaptive apparatus, such as NEXT cancellers and equalizers, in their properly converged state. To reduce crosstalk and spectral emissions, the idle mode symbols are selected to be the innermost symbols in the signal constellation encompassing the ensemble of all symbols.

    摘要: The problem of tracking rapid changes in the echo signals associated with modems is eliminated by using an echo canceler consisting of cascaded adaptive filters. Each filter in the structure contributes to the modeling of the overall echo path impulse response, with a longer filter providing the ability to model long echo path impulse responses and a shorter filter providing the ability to track changes in the echo path impulse response over time.

    摘要: Digital signals, such as digitized television signals, are subjected to a source coding step followed by a channel mapping step. The source coding step causes the television signal to be represented by two or more data streams while, in the channel mapping step, the mapping is such that the data elements of the various data streams have differing probabilities of being erroneously detected at the receiver. In preferred embodiments, a first one of the aforementioned data streams carries components of the overall television signal which are regarded as the most important--for example the audio, the framing information, and the vital portions of the video information, such as motion compensation information--and that data stream is mapped such that its data elements have the lowest probability of error. A second one of the data streams carries components of the overall television signal which are regarded as less important than those of the first data stream and that data stream is mapped such that its data elements have a probability of error that is not as low as those of the first data stream. In general, it is possible to represent the overall television signal with any number of data streams, each carrying components of varying importance and each having a respective probability of error. This approach allows a graceful degradation in reception quality at, for example, the television set location because as the bit error rate at the receiver begins to increase with increasing distance from the broadcast transmitter, the bits that represent proportionately less of the video information will be the first to be affected.

    摘要: A communications system employs frequency division duplexing to accommodate symmetric and asymmetric services, while substantially eliminating near-end cross talk. Upstream and downstream channels are separated by a guard band in order to insure that near-end cross talk is kept to a minimum. An asymmetric upstream channel is preferably located at a lower frequency range than that of the asymmetric downstream channel. The guard band between these asymmetric upstream and downstream channels shifts in frequency along with the shift in frequency of the respective upstream and downstream channels as a function of reach. This guard band shifting permits the communications systems to utilize a greater percentage of the frequencies available to it and to thereby substantially maximize the communications rate that it can support. Although the asymmetric guard band is allowed to shift in the manner described, it is not allowed to do so in a manner that would create a conflict with symmetric channels. Additionally, for symmetric services upstream channels are provided both above and below a downstream channel and are located so as not to interfere with asymmetric channels.

    摘要: A receiver has a dual mode of operation—a carrierless amplitude modulation/phase modulation (CAP) mode and a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mode-yet only requires a single equalizer structure for both the CAP mode of operation and the QAM mode of operation during blind start-up. The receiver uses the same blind equalization updating algorithm independent of the type of received signal for converging the equalizer structure. The blind equalization updating algorithm incorporates a constant R, whose value is a function of the type of received signal, e.g., a QAM signal or a CAP signal. The type of received signal is determined as a function of the in-phase component of the mean-squared error, E[e2n.

    摘要: A blind convergence technique is restricted to using a subset of equalizer output samples. Illustratively, a receiver implements a windowed MMA approach. In this windowed MMA approach, a sample window overlays the two-dimensional plane representing the set of equalizer output samples. Only those equalizer output samples appearing within the sample window are used during filter adaptation.
