Abstract:
A data transmission and reception method includes transmitting a plurality of position data bits and a amplitude bits with each of the pulses. The method also includes decoding the position bits and the amplitude bits. An ultra-wideband (UWB) system is also described.
Abstract:
A packet formatter for use in a television receiver capable of receiving a dual bitstream signal comprising a standard stream compatible with the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard and a robust stream. The packet formatter comprises: 1) a first processing block capable of receiving the dual bitstream signal and removing therefrom header bits and parity bits associated with the robust stream to thereby produce a first output signal; and 2) a second processing block capable of receiving the first output signal and removing therefrom duplicate bits associated with the robust stream to thereby produce a second output signal that is output from a data path output of the packet formatter.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a TFI-OFDM receiver system (22) is able to more reliably decode the information bits by estimating the noise variance associated with the channel and using these estimates in mitigating in-band interference. In another embodiment, there is a TFI-OFDM receiver system (66) that is able to update the estimated channel impulse response and the noise variance by generating reference OFDM symbols from the received header symbols, the band hopping pattern provided by the TFC number associated with the communication link, the estimated channel impulse response and the noise variance estimates and symbols generated from a FFT processor (30).
Abstract:
A method and system of calculating debt service capacity of a loan applicant includes capturing, indexing, reclassifying and grouping transaction data and profile data of the loan applicant. Next, capturing a loan structure, risk factors, financial variables and reconciliation rules and finally using the aforementioned and loan applicants' data and cash flow projections to calculate loan applicants' debt service capacity with time value of money calculations.

Abstract:
A method (200) for signaling a transmission mode in a wireless communication networks comprises selecting a signature sequence corresponding to the transmission mode of a transmitting device (S210); forming, for each antenna in the transmitting device, a synchronization field based on the selected signature sequence, wherein the synchronization field is included in a preamble (S220); and transmitting, from each antenna in the transmitting device, the data frame that comprises the preamble.
Abstract:
A method and system for scheduling and protecting quiet periods (QP) in a quiet zone (105) for incumbent signal (121) detection in a wireless communications system. The communication system includes a plurality of wireless networks (103, 104), each of the plurality of wireless networks contains at least a master device (101, 401 ) and a client device (111, 411). In each of the plurality of wireless networks, the master device (101, 401) transmits a beacon (402) that contains a QP schedule (500) and a reservation of a time slot (405) for the client device (411 ). The client device (111, 411) transmits a request-to-quiet (RTQ) message (412) during the time slot, wherein the RTQ message (412) includes the client device's QP schedule information. The master and client devices within the quiet zone (105) keep quiet during scheduled quiet periods according to the QP schedule information contained in the received beacons and RTQ messages.
