摘要:
A method and system for configuring one or both of a transmitter pulse-shaping filter and a receiver pulse-shaping filter to generate a total partial response that incorporates a predetermined amount of inter-symbol interference (ISI), based on one or more defined performance-related variables and one or more set constraints that are applicable to one or both of the transmitter pulse-shaping filter and the receiver pulse-shaping filters. The predetermined amount of ISI is determined based on an estimation process during extraction of data from an output of the receiver pulse-shaping filter, such that performance of total partial response based communication matches or surpasses performance of communication incorporating filtering based on no or near-zero ISI. The configuring may comprise determining optimized filtering configuration, by applying an optimization process which is based on, at least in part, the one or more constraints and the one or more performance-related variables.

An output of the non-linearity modeling circuit may be equal to a corresponding input of the non-linearity modeling circuit modified according to a non-linear model that approximates the non-linearity of the non-linear circuit through which the received signal passed.

The second set of one or more values may comprise one or more symbol values predetermined as corresponding to the one or more pilot symbols. Each of the values in the second set may comprise a known value in a modulation symbol constellation associated with the information symbols. Power of each of the one or more pilot symbols may be zero power.

A receiver may process a received signal to generate a processed received signal. The receiver may generate, during a sequence estimation process, an estimate of a phase error of the processed received signal. The receiver may generate an estimate of a value of a transmitted symbol corresponding to the received signal based on the estimated phase error. The generation of the estimate of the phase error may comprise generation of one or more phase candidate vectors. The generation of the estimate may comprise calculation of a metric based on the one or more phase candidate vectors. The calculation of the metric may comprise phase shifting the processed received signal based on the estimated phase error resulting in a phase-corrected received signal. The calculation of the metric may comprise calculating a Euclidean distance based on the phase-corrected received signal and one or more symbol candidate vectors.

摘要:
A receiver may be operable to generate estimates of transmitted symbols using a sequence estimation process that may incorporate a non-linear model. The non-linear model may be adapted by the receiver based on particular communication information that may be indicative of non-linearity experienced by the transmitted symbols. The receiver may generate a reconstructed signal from the estimates of the transmitted symbols. The receiver may adapt the non-linear model based on values of an error signal generated from the reconstructed signal, and the values of the error signal may be generated from a portion of the generated estimates that may correspond to known symbols and/or information symbols. The values of the error signal corresponding to the known symbols may be given more weight in an adaptation algorithm, and the values of the error signal corresponding to the information symbols may be given less weight in the adaptation algorithm.
