Abstract: A robust differential receiver is described that may be used in any frequency modulated system, including short-range radio frequency (RF) communication devices. The differential receiver provides a preamble detection approach that reduces false preamble detection, a fine carrier frequency (CFO) estimation approach that provides an extended estimation range, and robust in-band and out-of-band interference detection. The described differential receiver assures that preamble detections are not falsely triggered, and that CFO estimates are based on accurately modeled preamble waveforms that have not been distorted by phase ambiguities or in-band distortion.

Abstract: In a consumer-producer distributed model of computing, consumers request data from producers and perform computing work on the data received from the producers, thereby transforming the data. At least some of the computing work performed by a consumer on data provided by the producer is commutable between the consumer and producer, that is, either the producer as well as the consumer can perform the computing work on the data. A producer redistributes commutable based on the work load of the producer and consumer as well as other factors.
