  • Patent number: 8509166
    Abstract: A resource scheduling and power allocation technique is provided for a LTE radio network integrated with femtocells. The technique utilizes a tri-phase approach that includes a stochastic geometric model of an exemplary radio network that generates a channel attenuation matrix for each channel at each PRB. A resource scheduling and power allocation procedure determines a near optimal assignment of mobile user to PRBs based on the channel attenuations, potential data rates, and transmit power subject to maximizing the data rates in accordance with a fairness objective. A discrete-event simulation procedure simulates the end-to-end transmission of the data packets in a packet-switch network in accordance with the assignments to analyze the behavior of the overall network.

  • Patent number: 7010441
    Abstract: In a method and system for determining the composition of a subscriber loop, the method consists of analyzing the echo responses generated by the transmittal of pulses onto the subscriber loop. In the method, discontinuities along a loop are identified sequentially by comparing the measured waveform to waveforms generated on the basis of a hypothesized topology. The best match for the waveform is identified using a maximum likelihood approach and a maximum a-posteriori probability (MAP) estimator using observed knowledge regarding the loop plant. A multiple path search is also utilized to improve results and reduce computation time. Once the generated waveform that best matched the measured data had been found and a discontinuity identified, the waveform generated is subtracted from the measured data to produce a compensated waveform, which is used to detect the location and cause of the next echo. A calibration method is implemented to further improve data acquisition.

  • Patent number: 5295159
    Abstract: Methodology, and associated circuitry, for encoding and decoding an incoming data stream utilize a coordinated code constellation that effects robust signal detection in the presence of channel interference. The encoder partitions the incoming data stream into contiguous data segments in proportion to the number of levels for a given coordinated code. Each data segment is mapped with reference to the coordinated code to signal levels suitable for transmission over a plurality of channels. The decoder measures the received signals on the channels and estimates noise statistics for the channels. A metric relationship engendered by the coordinated code is evaluated with reference to the received signals, estimates to the received signals, and the noise statistics. An output data stream is then generated based on the evaluation of the metric.
