摘要:
A transceiver for a LAN is capable of communicating multiple bits per signal element to increase the data throughput of the LAN. The transceiver includes a transmitter which receives a multiple bit digital input value originating at a node of the LAN at which the transceiver is present. The transmitter converts the multiple bit digital input signal into a pulse-like analog signal which is amplitude and phase modulated. A receiver of a transceiver at a receiving node the transmitted analog signal converts its amplitude and phase into a corresponding multiple bit digital output value. A time-domain filter of the receiver creates a primary signal from the received analog signal. To sample the primary signal at its maximum amplitude point, a derivative of the primary signal waveform is used to establish the zero derivative point at which the primary signal attains its maximum amplitude, and to establish a fixed sampling point for subsequent signals. The sampling point is synchronized in phase with the stream of received analog signals. The residual intersymbol interference (ISI) effect of preceding signals on the LAN medium is eliminated prior to converting the primary signal to the digital value. To adjust and compensate for attenuation and amplification created by the LAN medium, the signal values are normalized.

Transferring spectrum use rights may include ascertaining information regarding available spectrum for use in wireless communications. A request for spectrum use from a spectrum user system may be matched with available spectrum. A spectrum certificate may be issued to the spectrum user system, where the spectrum certificate contains at least one spectrum-related variable under which the spectrum user system is to engage in wireless communications.

A wireless local area network (LAN) for data communications. The wireless LAN includes a packet hopping access terminal (PHAST) and a packet hopping gateway (PHG). The PHAST has a first transceiver for wirelessly communicating with a client device, and a second transceiver for wirelessly receiving data packets addressed to the client device and for wirelessly transmitting data packets received from the client device in accordance with a packet hopping protocol. The PHG has a transceiver for wirelessly receiving the data packets transmitted by the PHAST and for transmitting the data packets addressed to the client device in accordance with the packet hopping protocol, and a network interface for establishing communication with a server.
摘要:
A reduced cost, robust data communication scheme for very small aperture terminal satellite communication systems combines non-coherent frequency detection and trellis-coded, multi-frequency modulation. The data code width is associated with the size of a multiple frequency set and the selection of a given combination of frequencies for transmission during a respective baud. One portion the data is convolutionally encoded and points to an orthogonal signal set associated with frequencies of a partitioned multiple frequency set. Another portion of the data identifies the frequency combination within the group pointed to by the one portion. The combined portions encode a multi-frequency transmission waveform. At the receiver, the multi-frequency tone sequence is detected by non-coherent frequency detection. For each baud, matched filters output a most likely set of frequencies transmitted during that baud, as soft decisions to a Viterbi decoder.

摘要:
A system and method for enabling a transmitter employing signal spreading techniques to increase the data rate of the transmitted modulated signal without reducing the multi-path delay spread. Specifically, the system and method use concatenated spreading sequences to provide data modulated spread signals having increased data rates with extended multi-path delay spread. The system and method therefore removes the one-to-one relationship between the repetitive spreading code length and maximum multi-path delay spread of a data modulated spread signal, to thus increase the data rate for a given multi-path delay spread while preserving the autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties of the individual spreading sequences.
摘要:
A reduced cost digital data modulation and demodulation scheme for very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite communication systems combines non-coherent frequency detection with trellis-coded, multi-frequency modulation. The technique is robust to phase noise and frequency uncertainty and is capable of achieving the performance of rate one-half phase shift keyed modulation. The code width of data to be transmitted bears a prescribed relationship to the size of a multiple frequency set and the selection of a given combination of frequencies within that set for transmission during a respective baud. One portion the data is convolutionally encoded and provides a pointer to one of plural groups of orthogonal signal sets associated with frequencies into which the multiple frequency set has been partitioned. Another portion of the data identifies the frequency combination within the group pointed to by the one portion. The combined portions encode a multi-frequency waveform transmitted to the receiver site. At the receiver site, the sequence of multi-frequency tones produced by the transmitter encoder is detected by non-coherent frequency detection. For each baud, the outputs of matched filters are examined to determine the most likely set of frequencies to have been transmitted during that baud. Most likely frequency combination determinations provide soft decision inputs to a Viterbi decoder.

A memory mapping unit enables different sized memory boards to be mapped in any order into any size memory address boundary in a microprocessor. Any 2.sup.K sized memory board (where N.ltoreq.K.ltoreq.M) can be mapped to any 2.sup.N address boundary. To accomplish this, a binary adder adds the 2's complement of the base address register with significant bits from the address buss. A series of logic gates are connected to the output of the binary adder and a board size mask register. The logic gates perform an "AND" operation on the output from the binary adder and the board size mask register. The outputs from the logic gates connect to a multiple input "NOR" gate. When all the inputs are logical "zero", indicating the address is on the board, a board enable command is produced which activates the memory board transceiver.
