Abstract:
A circular filtering system that prevents the problem of inter-symbol interference. The circular filtering system utilizes a buffer memory to store samples of a given symbol and provide only these samples to a linear filter such that the output of the filter, for any given symbol is formed by filtering only samples of that input symbol. Each symbol being filtered independent of other symbols hence eliminating inter-symbol interference caused by filtering. Where symbols are tolerant to a fixed phase shift for each symbol, the circular filtering system can be simplified by reducing the size of the buffer and introducing a multiplexer.
Abstract:
A communication system such as an OFDM or DMT system has nodes which are allowed to transmit continuously on one or just a few of the system's frequency sub-channels, while the other nodes avoid putting any signal into those sub-channels. Simple low data rate nodes are allowed to use a small number of sub-channels while more complicated nodes use the remainder, and preferably functionality is provided to ensure that adjacent sub-channels are reliably spaced apart in frequency so that they do not bleed over into one another; to ensure that signals from all nodes arrive at the base station with well-aligned symbol transitions; and to ensure that signals from the various nodes arrive at the base station with similar power levels.
Abstract:
The present invention aims at eliminating the effects of frequency offsets between two transceivers by adjusting frequencies used during transmission. In this invention, methods for correcting the carrier frequency and the samplin g frequency during transmission are provided, including both digital and analo g implementations of such methods. The receiver determines the relative frequency offset between the transmitter and the receiver, and uses this information to correct this offset when the receiver transmits its data to t he original transmitter in the return path, so that the signal received by the original transmitter is in sampling and carrier frequency lock with the original transmitter's local frequency reference.

Abstract:
A multi-user OFDM or DMT communication system has nodes which are allowed to transmit continuously on one or just a few of the system's frequency sub-channels, while the other nodes avoid putting any signal into those sub-channels. Simple low data rate nodes are allowed to use a small number of sub-channels while more complicated nodes use the remainder, and preferably functionality is provided to ensure that adjacent sub-channels are reliably spaced apart in frequency so that they do not bleed over into one another; to ensure that signals from all nodes arrive at the base station with well-aligned symbol transitions (symbol synchronization); and to ensure that signals from the various nodes arrive at the base station with similar power levels (power control). Frequency assignment strategies at a base station range from one fixed sub-channel per node to a hopped group of sub-channels per node.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for optimizing power in order to increase capacity. Rather than having any terminal device limited to a specific maximum data rate, instead the terminal device data rate is limited by the power being used, such that the data rate can vary according to the distance that the terminal device is from the intended receiver.
