Abstract:
A multi-point communications system having an allocated total bandwidth is set forth. The system comprises a head end unit disposed at a primary site. The head end unit includes a receiver for receiving OFDM/DMT modulated data from a plurality of remote transceivers over a predetermined number of bins from a transmission medium. The receiver of the head end unit receives OFDM/DMT modulated data corresponding to a first data stream from a first one of the plurality of remote transceivers over one or more bins of a first subset of the predetermined number of bins and OFDM/DMT data corresponding to a second data stream from a second one of the plurality of remote transceivers over one or more bins of a second subset of the predetermined number of bins. The head end unit and each of the first and second transceivers can receive and/or transmit in at least a given X QAM mode or Y QAM mode. The head end unit monitors actual bandwidth usage of the total allocated bandwidth and uses the measured bandwidth usage to alter the QAM modes used for communications within the system.
Abstract:
A modem dynamically selects the type of error-control negotiation sequence as a function of a negotiated parameter of the physical layer. In one embodiment of the invention, a modem selects between error-control negotiation sequences as a function of the type of modulation negotiated in the physical layer. In particular, the modem has at least two type of error-control negotiation sequences to select from: "LAPM or Disconnect," and "LAPM, MNP or Buffer." When the modem negotiates a V.32 or higher modulation, the modem uses the "LAPM or Disconnect" error control negotiation sequence. However, when the modem negotiates a V.22 bis or lower modulation, the modem uses the "LAPM, MNP or Buffer" error control sequence.
Abstract:
Techniques are described that provide for waveform selection for uplink (UL) and/or downlink (DL) wireless transmissions based on one or more factors associated with the wireless transmission, a transmitter that is to transmit the wireless transmission, or combinations thereof. UL and DL transmissions may use one of a number of different waveforms, such as single-carrier waveforms that use a single carrier for information transmission of a wireless channel, and multi-carrier waveforms that use multiple carriers at different frequencies to transmit some of the bits on each channel. Multi-carrier transmission waveforms or single-carrier waveforms may be selected for wireless transmissions based on a bandwidth allocated for the transmissions, a capability of a transmitter that is to transmit the transmissions, or combinations thereof.

Abstract:
Mobile Networks using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) and or spread spectrum modulation and demodulation techniques process in mobile devices spread spectrum signals into OFDM signals. A first mobile device receives and demodulates a spread spectrum modulated signal into a baseband spread spectrum signal and processes the baseband spread spectrum signal into a first OFDM signal. The first OFDM signal is transmitted to a second mobile device. In the second mobile device the received first OFDM signal is demodulated and processed into a second OFDM signal. The second OFDM signal is transmitted in the mobile network. Alternatively, the first mobile device receives, instead of a spread spectrum signal a modulated OFDM signal. The mobile device has a motion detector which generates a motion detector signal for control of the mobile device. The mobile device has a heart rate sensor and measures the heart rate.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing half-duplex communications for a Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) operating on a continuous received stream is disclosed. The method includes: decoding the continuous received stream to establish synchronization with the continuous received stream; locating, in the continuous received stream, a time plan including a receiving timeslot and a transmitting timeslot; demodulating the continuous received stream by adapting to a timing and frequency variation of the continuous received stream in the receiving timeslot, freewheeling the adapting of the continuous received stream during the transmitting timeslot, and resuming the adapting of the continuous received stream when the transmitting timeslot ends; stopping a receiving of the continuous received stream during the transmitting timeslot; and transmitting from the VSAT during the transmitting timeslot. The freewheeling includes saving a signal acquisition parameter at the start of the transmitting timeslot and restoring the saved signal acquisition parameter at the end of the transmitting timeslot.
Abstract:
A wireless network is provided that includes a base station and subscriber stations that communicate with the base station using radio frequency (RF) time division duplex (TDD) signaling. The base station may establish medium access control (MAC) connections with each station. The base station monitors communications with the stations and, in accordance, assigns stations or MAC connections to modulation groups. The base station transmits signals on MAC connections or to stations in a modulation group in adjacent TDD slots within a TDD frame. The base station may receive access requests from the stations, evaluate traffic requirements for the stations, and determine a longest downlink portion for the stations. The base station then allocates downlink and uplink portions of a TDD frame according to the length of the longest downlink portion.

According to some embodiments, a method of decoding a transport block in a wireless network element comprises receiving a first transmission of a transport block. The transport block is modulated according to a first modulation coding scheme. The method further comprises determining a number of soft channel bits SB1 in the first transmission of the transport block based at least on a category type of a wireless device. The category type of wireless device is capable of supporting the first modulation coding scheme and a second modulation coding scheme of a different order than the first modulation scheme and both the first and second modulation schemes are associated with the same number of soft channel bits and soft buffer size. The method further comprises storing SB1 soft channel bits of the first transmission of the transport block in a soft buffer.
