Patent number: 10298429Abstract: A transmitting device, a receiving device, and a communication method for transmitting and receiving data modulated on frequency subcarriers of an OFDM communication system. An OFDM burst includes a preamble part and payload data part, whereby the preamble includes a section of pilot symbols mapped onto every n-th frequency subcarrier and signaling data mapped onto the frequency subcarriers between the frequency subcarriers with the pilot symbols. A first channel estimation on the basis of the received pilot symbols is performed, the result of which is used to reconstruct the entire section of the received preamble as a training pattern for an accurate channel estimation, which is used for a channel equalization of the received payload part.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2013Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Lothar Stadelmeier, Markus Zumkeller, Andreas Schwager, Stephen Tiedemann, Gralf Gaedeken

Patent number: 10084510Abstract: A power line communication method for realizing data communication between at least one first or sending power line communication partner device and at least one second or receiving power line communication partner device. The method checks transmission conditions of a plurality of possible communication channels, thereby generating transmission condition data descriptive for the communication conditions of the respective possible communication channels. Additionally, communication conditions of the plurality of possible communication channels are selected as actual communication conditions based on the transmission condition data.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Sony Deutschland GmbHInventors: Andreas Schwager, Markus Zumkeller, Gralf Gaedeken, Stephen Tiedemann, Lothar Stadelmeier
