摘要:
Methods, apparatus and systems for multilevel data communication comprises dividing a set of information bits to be transmitted into a first group and a second group; encoding the first group to generate a block code, selecting a subset of symbols in a constellation of symbols in dependence on the block code according to a Gray-coded mapping function, selecting a symbol within the subset in dependence on the second group according to a Gray-coded mapping function, and transmitting the selected symbol.

A method for low-density parity-check (LDPC) encoding of data comprises defining a first MnullN parity check matrix; generating, based on the first parity check matrix, a second parity check matrix having an MnullM triangular sub-matrix; and, mapping the data into an LDPC code word based on the second parity check matrix. The method is particularly useful for data communications applications, but may also be employed in other applications such as, for example, data storage.

A method for decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes comprises executing a sum product algorithm to recover a set of information bits from an LDPC code represented as a bipartite graph of symbol nodes and check nodes, the sum product algorithm being responsive to input log likelihood ratios associated with the symbol nodes. The check nodes are updated by generating a set of forward difference metrics and a set of backward difference metrics in dependence on the ratios of logarithmic probabilities each associated with a corresponding symbol node of the LDPC code, updating each metric in the set of forward difference metrics in dependence on the absolute value of the log likelihood ratio associated with the symbol node and the absolute value of the previous metric in the set, updating each metric in the set of backward difference metrics in dependence on the absolute value of the log likelihood ratio associated with the symbol node and the absolute value of the previous metric in the set, and generating log likelihood ratios to be propagated back to each symbol node in dependence on the updated sets of forward and backward difference metrics.

A low power DSL modem transmitter, suitable for incorporation in integrated DSLAM server line cards, transmits full power physical frames which include a control channel and a data field when data is available for transmission and physical frames having only a control channel or a control channel and a low power synchronization field when data is not available for transmission. And a method for controlling the total power dissipated in the integrated DSLAM by selectively restricting the flow of data packets to the DSLs.
摘要:
A shared digital subscriber line modem achieves reduced total power consumption and data security by generating and transmitting a physical data frame which includes a control channel and a data field to only the connected client modem associated with the intended recipient. A second physical frame which does not include the data field is generated and transmitted to all of the other connected client modems. This method results in a reduction in the power required and provides improved data security by preventing data access to non-addressed client modems.
