Abstract: This invention relates to a method of managing a digital subscriber line, where an optimum point at which to trigger a line test on the DSL line is determined. The invention continuously measures the signal to noise (SNR) margin on the DSL line, and compares the measurements to predetermined conditions based on SNR margin characteristics associated with a population of good lines. Once the SNR margin measurements fail to meet the predetermined conditions, an electrical line test is triggered. Thus, monitoring is done in the DSL domain, but the line test triggered is in the electrical domain. In an improved method, moisture level sensors provide a measure of the atmospheric moisture levels experienced by the line. If the SNR margin measurements fail to meet the predetermined conditions, and in addition there is a correlation with atmospheric moisture levels, then a line test is triggered on the line.

Abstract: Coding techniques for a (e.g., OFDM) communication system capable of transmitting data on a number of “transmission channels” at different information bit rates based on the channels' achieved SNR.

The unpunctured coded bits are grouped into non-binary symbols and mapped to modulation symbols (e.g., using Gray mapping). The modulation symbol may be “pre-conditioned” and prior to transmission.

The RMS calculator converts the high frequency component extracted from the filter into an effective (RMS) value. The controller, if the effective (RMS) value of the d-axis or q-axis current transformed by the RMS calculator is larger than a preset reference, increases/decreases a currently-set DC offset of each of the current sensors by a certain amount, and replaces the currently-set DC offsets with a DC offset corresponding to a smallest one of the effective (RMS) values of the d-axis or q-axis transformed by the RMS calculator, thereby correcting each of the current sensors. Accordingly, a pulsation in an output torque in controlling an electric motor can be effectively prevented.

Segments of the original analog signal containing such peaks are treated (e.g., by attenuation) and a composite analog signal is assembled that includes treated and untreated segments of the original analog signal. The composite analog signal is processed to perform analog-to-digital conversion to generate a composite digital signal.

A final output digital signal is generated that corresponds to the original analog signal in digital form.

Abstract: A multi-link input/output (I/O) interface uses both feed-forward and feedback signaling to reduce the impact of noise on data capture at a memory controller. To transfer data from a source module to a destination module, a defined pattern is communicated from the memory module along a master channel concurrent with the memory module providing data via one or more slave channels. Based on the phase of the defined pattern as it is received, the multi-link I/O interface feeds forward to the slave channels control signaling whose phase reflects a predicted noise pattern for the system. Each slave channel performs CDR by adjusting timing of its corresponding capture clock signal based on the fed forward control signaling and based on feedback signaling for the corresponding slave channel, whereby the feedback signaling reflects an error measurement between a phase of a capture clock signal and transitions in received data.

Abstract: A receiver circuit provides improved noise estimation processing by at least partially removing receiver frequency error bias. An initial noise estimate is compensated using an error term based on the observed receiver frequency error, and the resulting compensated noise estimate can be used to improve other signal processing in the receiver.

In an exemplary embodiment, the initial noise estimate is a noise correlation matrix generated from a received reference signal, e.g., pilot symbols, and the error term is an error matrix directly generated using he observed receiver frequency error and channel estimates taken from the reference signal.
