Abstract: The DPIC makes use of the D detected symbols from the output of the Slicer to estimate the precursor ISI which still exists at the input sample of the Slicer. The estimation of the residual ISI value is done by a D-tap Finite Impulse Filter (FIR). This D-tap FIR has the same structure as the DFE or the Echo or NEXT canceller except the values of the coefficients. Since it calculates, A D-symbol delay element is used to keep the DT-delayed sample, from which the corresponding residual precursor ISI computed the D-tap FIR, is removed.

Abstract: Nodes on a network are synchronized with each other using a clock transfer system. The communications channels between the nodes are then measured and calibrated for optimal bandwidth. The optimized channels and synchronization enables a new form of signaling based on precise control of the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the waveform of the signal. Receiving nodes receive information in order to locate the signal at the appropriate frequency, phase and amplitude. Precision control of these parameters also servers as a unique signature of the transmitting node preventing security breaches as the signal's characteristic are unique to the transmitting node. The channel is continuously updated with a precision control system to insure that the nodes are not out of phase.
