Patent number: 7272174Abstract: A process transmits digital data to an A/D converter via an analog channel. The process includes generating a sequence of output signals by precoding a sequence of input signal points to precompensate for ISI in the analog channel. In the precoding is matched to the ISI, at least one of the output signals would be distorted by the ISI to a signal representative of a signal point lying between quantization levels of the A/D converter. If the precoding is matched to the ISI, others of the output signals would be distorted by the ISI to signals representative of signal points that are quantization levels of the A/D converter. A majority of the input signal points are quantization levels of the A/D converter.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventor: Lee-Fang Wei

Patent number: 7200192Abstract: An approach for decoding a substantially orthogonal code, such as a CCK code, based on its trellis diagram is provided. Compared to the conventional decoder based on codeword correlation, the unconventional decoder here has the advantage that it can work together with a decision feedback equalizer without suffering from the error propagation effect of the equalizer. In other words, the unconventional decoder makes joint decision feedback equalizer and decoder workable, which in turn enables reliable transmission of a signal encoded by a substantially orthogonal code over a multi-path channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Zydas Technology CorporationInventors: Lee-Fang Wei, Wen-Yih Hwang, Bor-Chin Wang, Yuh-Ren Jauh

Patent number: 7003716Abstract: An approach for using multi-dimensional trellis codes in a communication system over a multi-path channel, such as a wireless local area network, is provided. In this approach, the received signal is equalized and decoded by a joint decision feedback equalizer and multi-dimensional trellis decoder that is based on a multi-stage trellis diagram. The multi-stage trellis diagram used by the decoder comprises at least two stages of state transitions for each stage of state transitions in the encoder. The multi-stage trellis diagram makes the joint decision feedback equalizer and multi-dimensional trellis decoder possible, which in turn makes the use of multi-dimensional trellis codes in such a communication system advantageous.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: ZyDAS Technology Corp.Inventor: Lee-Fang Wei

Patent number: 6606355Abstract: Signal points from a PCM-derived constellation are selected for transmission via a modulation technique which employs different levels of redundancy coding—including the possibility of no redundancy coding—for respective different sub-constellations of the overall PCM-derived constellation. The coding that is employed for at least one of the sub-constellations is carried out independently from any coding that is employed for any of the other sub-constellations. The PCM-derived constellation and the overall modulation technique are designed so as to accommodate the possibility that the telecommunications system in which the modulation technique is implemented may include so-called bit robbing and so-called digital attenuation.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1999Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventor: Lee-Fang Wei
