Abstract:
A dirty paper precoding ("DPC") method for broadcasting a signal is disclosed that takes advantage of knowledge of the structure of interference in order to avoid the quantization noise that results in the conventional DPC method. The proposed method modifies the Tomlinson-Harishima precoding ("THP") scheme by selecting a constellation and mapping scheme that is designed based on the known interference modulation structure of the interference signal, which is typically directed to a second receiver. In a particular embodiment, a source signal and an interference signal are QAM modulated. The modulation structure information of the interference signal is known to the receiver. At the transmitter the source signal is precoded based on the known interference structure, and a common mapping rule is implemented, such that the received signal can be decoded at the receiver without requiring a modulo operation at either the transmitter or receiver.
Abstract:
Filterbank-based modulation systems comprise sender-processors (20,30) with inverse-fast-fourier-transformating-modules (23,33) and filtering-modules (24,34) and comprise receiver-processors (40) with fast-fourier-transformating-modules (43). Interference caused by said filtering-modules (24,34) is reduced by, in said sender-processors (20,30), introducing coding-modules (22,32) with further-filtering-modules (26,36) in feedback loops, and by, in said receiver-processors (40), introducing decoding-modules (44). Splitting-modules (21,31,41) and combining-modules (25,35,45) allow the use of signal streams and parallel filterbanks. Coding-modules (22 resp. 32) comprise sub-coding-modules (22-1,22-2,....,22-a or 32-1,32-2,....,32-b), filtering-modules (24 resp. 34) comprise sub-filtering-modules (24-1,24-2,....,24-a or 34-1,34-2,....,34-b), further-filtering-modules (26 resp. 36) comprise sub-further-filtering-modules (26-1,26-2,....,26-a or 36-1,36-2,....,36-b), and decoding-modules (44) comprise sub-decoding-modules (44-1,44-2,....,44-c), all per signal stream. The sub-further-filtering-modules either receive input signals from outputs of said inverse-fast-fourier-transformating-modules and supply output signals via fast-fourier-transformating-modules to inputs of said sub-coding-modules via adding/subtracting-modules for reducing interference per signal stream (or per subcarrier/subband), or receive input signals from outputs of said sub-coding-modules and supply output signal to inputs of said sub-coding-modules via adding/subtracting-modules for reducing interference per signal stream (or per subcarrier/subband) as well as between signal streams (or between subcarriers/subbands) and introducing so-called fractionally spaced filterbank-based modulation systems.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods and systems for determining maximum power backoff for modems operating according to G.SHDSL and other standards using frequency domain geometric signal to noise ratio (SNR). In one example, a G.SHDSL standard may specify a minimum power back off (PBO) that may be required for modem implementation. Although the standard specifies the minimum back off, it is desirable to be able to increase the POB beyond this level. The reasons for this may include reduced power consumption and reduced crosstalk generated by a modem. The present invention discloses a method and system for determining an absolute maximum power PBO that may be tolerated and still meet bit error rate (BER) and/or other requirements. The present invention implements a geometric mean to compute SNR in a frequency domain over a pass-band of a transmit spectrum.
Abstract:
A process transmits digital data to an A/D converter via an analog channel. The process includes generating a sequence of output signals by precoding a sequence of input signal points to precompensate for ISI in the analog channel. In the precoding is matched to the ISI, at least one of the output signals would be disorted by the ISI to a signal representative of a signal point lying between quantization levels of the A/D covnerter. If the precoding is matched to the ISI, others of the output signals would be distorted by the ISI to signals representative of signal points that are quantization levels of the A/D converter. A majority of the input signal points are quantization levels of the A/D converter.
Abstract:
A feedforward filter (20) has a plurality of feedforward filter taps (23a-23g), including a feedforward filter reference tap (23d). The reference tap of the feedforward filter is positioned proximate a center position of the feedforward filter. A ramping circuit (604) assembly has an input port configured to receive at least one decision feedback filter tap coefficient from a decision feedback filter. A coefficient ramping circuit is configured to provide a ramped output for at least one of the decision feedback filter tap coefficients. The ramped output is varied over time from a first value to a second value. The second value is dependent upon the value of a decision feedback filter tap coefficient. An output port of the ramping circuit assembly is configured to communicate information representative of the ramped output(s) to a precoder (603).
Abstract:
A system (Fig. 3) and method for communicating information using circular multidimensional signal space constellations (Fig. 1b) using uncoded modulation allows increased data rate and bandwidth by eliminating trellis encoding, thus reducing the number of computational cycles required for coding. Furthermore, the use of circular signal space constellations (Fig. 1b) lowers the transmit peak factor, thus consuming less power. Using uncoded modulations with circular constellations allows an approximate 10-20 % performance improvement for a given central processor unit. Additionally, circular constellations (Fig. 1b) allow the easy and reliable transmission of special marker symbols such as 'End of File', 'Start of Message', 'End of Transmission' or 'Increase or Decrease Data Rate'.
Abstract:
A system and method for recording multi-level data to a multi-amplitude recording channel encodes binary data to form multi-level data. The multi-level data are recorded to the storage media for later recall. The system utilizes linear, multi-amplitude recording media which allows data to be stored as multi-level data - requiring fewer "bits" to represent the same number of symbols. To obtain greater data density in the storage media, a diffraction limited write laser is utilized, resulting in a smaller write-spot size. Because the read laser is of a longer wavelength, its diffraction limited spot size is larger. As a result, more than one mark is read at a given read time resulting in an inter-symbol interference. Trellis coded modulation techniques are adopted to convert the binary input data into M-ary data having M levels. Further coding is then performed to compensate for the effects of the intersymbol interference. This is accomplished by precoding the data using a Tomlinson-Harashima precoder. The precoding results in multi-level data (of m levels, where m
