Abstract:
A multi-stage adaptive filter is disclosed, which exhibits a smaller mean square error than in prior art adaptive filters. The adaptive filter selectively manipulates the weights, in multiple stages, so as to achieve a global minimum of the error function, such that the filtered signal has as small an error as possible.
Abstract:
A signal receiving apparatus includes an equalization module, a coarse tuning module and a fine tuning module. The equalization module receives an input signal, and performs an equalization process on the input signal according to an equalization strength to generate an equalized signal. The coarse tuning module adjusts the equalization strength according to the equalized signal until the equalized signal satisfies a preliminary convergence condition. When the preliminary convergence condition is satisfied, the fine tuning module adjusts the equalization strength according to the equalized signal until the equalization strength satisfies a final convergence condition.
Abstract:
An iterative method for synthesizing digital filters comprises the following steps: generation of a transmit filter intended to be applied to a signal to be transmitted; and generation of a receive filter intended to be applied to a received signal. The method comprises the following iteratively executed steps: convolution of the transmit filter and the receive filter in order to generate a transmission filter; determination of a criterion that is representative of the level of intersymbol interference on said transmission filter and whether the level of intersymbol interference is higher than a given level; calculation of an equalizing filter for the intersymbol interference; replacement of the transmit filter with the convoluted transmit filter having the equalizing filter or the replacement of the receive filter with the convoluted receive filter having the equalizing filter.
Abstract:
A symbol sequence corresponding to a vestigial sideband (VSB) signal is divided into a plurality of sections, respective ones of which correspond to respective time periods. Individual ones of the sections are recursively adaptively equalized to produce respective equalized sections. A bit stream is constructed from the equalized sections.
Abstract:
A delta quantizer for MIMO pre-coders with finite rate channel state information feedback may comprise partly quantizing a change in channel state information in a MIMO pre-coding system onto at least a first and a second codebook, each of which comprises one or more unitary matrices, using a cost function; and generating the at least first and second codebook based on at least the channel state information. The channel state information may be a matrix V and the cost function may be defined by the following relationship: f ( A ) = ( 1 N ∑ j = 1 N a jj 2 ) where A is a matrix of size N by N and aij is element (i,j) of matrix A. One or more unitary matrices may be generated for the at least first codebook from at least a first set of matrices and a second set of matrices.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for adaptive equalization using pattern detection methods. A signal is equalized by detecting one or more predefined patterns in the signal; and then changing one or more parameters of the equalization, such as an equalization adaptation rate, based on the detected predefined patterns. The equalization adaptation rate can be increased upon the detection of one or more predefined patterns and then gradually reduced to a steady state value. Equalization parameters that have been previously obtained for various patterns can optionally be loaded upon detection of a corresponding pattern The equalization can optionally be suppressed for one or more predefined patterns. The patterns can be detected, for example, by searching for the one or more predefined patterns in the signal, or by performing a statistical correlation of the signal to detect the one or more predefined patterns.
Abstract:
Apparatus are provided for a communication signal processing apparatus having a channel estimator configured to generate a first channel estimation at a first time point, a linear predictor coupled to the channel estimator, and an adaptive filter coupled with the linear predictor. The linear predictor is configured to predict a second channel estimation based on a second time point and a channel frequency. The second time point is concurrent or subsequent to the first time point. The second channel estimation includes a first coefficient. The linear predictor includes a first predictor having a sample time point. The first predictor is configured to generate the first coefficient of the second channel estimation based on the sample time point and the second time point. The sample time point is prior to the second time point. The adaptive filter is configured to recursively determine the second channel estimation.
Abstract:
A novel method and apparatus is disclosed, that embeds with, or otherwise makes available to an adaptive equalizer, suitable for use in IEEE 10G-LRM standard compliant receivers, digital logic that monitors some of the Layer 1 and preferably some of the Layer 2 processing that typically occurs after the equalization step during decoding and processing of the record data stream. From this additional logic information, the equalizer is able to make a much more accurate prediction of equalizer convergence by counting processing errors and prove convergence by calculation of BER. The novel method and apparatus are applicable to ASIC embodiments and the complexity of the logic information obtained can be programmably scaled back or enhanced as appropriate in light of the particular communication environment.
Abstract:
A method for uplink burst equalization in broad wide access system, using the form of combining pre-training and burst equalization, that is, before transmitting user data, training the equalizer, then starting transmitting user data, in which, the equalizer uses decision user data as reference to track the changed wireless channel; if the change of channel exceeds the tracking region of equalizer, for example, the error rate exceeds threshold 1 but doesn't exceed threshold 2, the burst equalization will be performed; if the channel change exceeds the equalization region of equalizer, for example, the error rate exceeds threshold 2, the training will be performed again. By using the form of combining pre-training and burst equalization, setting different thresholds for handoff, the present invention greatly prolongs the intervals of subsequent pre-training process, thereby reducing the times of pre-training and increasing the effective bandwidth; By introducing burst equalization process, the present invention also decreases the requirement of system on operation occasion (for example, the static channel or the interval of bursts should be short), thereby increasing the application occasions of product.
