  • Coherent synchronization and framing in a digital television receiver
    Patent number: 8724759
    Abstract: The current application is directed to maintaining the correct number of symbols in a protocol frame in a digital communications receiver, to prevent catastrophic failure due to dynamic multipath or cycle slips. Timing recovery and framing are coherent, facilitated by placing channel estimation directly into a larger timing recovery loop.
    Type: Grant

  • Simplified data interface protocol for digital television receiver
    Patent number: 8643775
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention encapsulate a variety of data, for example, FIC data, together with ATSC-M/H Service data, into a single IP stream, to simplify the interface between demodulator and media processor. A single data interface protocol within the receiver can then be used, facilitating integration.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR JOINT DECODING AND EQUALIZATION
    Publication number: 20130101010
    Abstract: The current application is directed to joint decoding and equalization using a decision feedback equalizer. An example method to which the current application and certain of the current claims are directed uses joint trellis decoding and decision feedback equalization to efficiently estimate non-contiguous symbols using non-contiguous equalizer outputs. The estimation process uses all new possibilities of symbol values, rather than old decision feedback symbol estimates.

  • LEAST SQUARES MATRIX COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION IN A DIGITAL TELEVISION RECEIVER
    Publication number: 20120281145
    Abstract: The current application is directed to reducing the implementation cost of least squares (LS) channel estimation in a digital communications receiver. An inverse correlation matrix is compressed on a per-diagonal basis for low cost storage in the receiver. The inverse correlation matrix is decompressed and utilized online on a per-diagonal basis.
