Abstract: Apparatuses of wireless subscribers that manage storage of HARQ packets are disclosed. One embodiment of a wireless subscriber includes receiver circuitry for wirelessly receiving HARQ packets. CRC processing circuitry checks an error status of the received HARQ packets. A HARQ memory controller divides the HARQ packets into HARQ sub-packets for storage in HARQ memory. The HARQ memory controller records storage locations and a storage order of each of the HARQ sub-packets.

Abstract: A communication system is described in which a receiver allocated to a sector of a communication network receives signals via all antennas of the network regardless of the sector allocation of the antenna. The system includes multiple antennas configured to form numerous antenna sets. Each antenna set is allocated to one of a number of sectors of a communication network. The system includes numerous modems or receivers, and each modem is coupled to an antenna set of a sector. The system includes a memory device coupled to the modems. The memory device includes signal processing information shared among the modems of the system. The signal processing information allows each modem to receive communications from subscriber stations in any sector via any of the system receive antennas.

Abstract: A method and system for managing change-over in radio functionality at a radio front-end in a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) system is provided. The method comprises storing one or more control commands. The one or more control commands may correspond to the change-over. The change-over may be a transmitter-to-receiver change-over or a receiver-to-transceiver change-over. The method further comprises receiving a trigger time corresponding to the one or more control commands. The trigger time comprises a timing requirement for the change-over. Thereafter, one or more control commands are released based on a predetermined condition.

Abstract: Methods of managing storage of HARQ packets are disclosed. One method includes a wireless device receiving variable length HARQ packets. The wireless device performing an error check on each received variable length HARQ packet, and storing within HARQ memory the HARQ packets that fail the error check. Each failed HARQ packet is stored in the HARQ memory by dividing the HARQ packet into HARQ sub-packets, and storing each HARQ sub-packet. The storage locations and storage order of each of the HARQ sub-packets are recorded for future retrieval.

Abstract: A method and system for managing memory using Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request in a communication system is provided. The method includes storing a retransmitted burst in a memory. The retransmitted burst includes plurality of bits. One or more of memory address of the retransmitted burst and the information corresponding to the retransmitted burst is recorded in a location table. The location table records memory addresses and the information corresponding to a plurality of bursts stored in the memory. The method further includes determining one or more preceding bursts corresponding to the retransmitted burst stored in the memory using location table. Thereafter, a combined burst is generated using the retransmitted burst and one or more preceding burst, if one or more preceding bursts corresponding to the retransmitted burst are stored in the memory. The combined burst includes the plurality of bits.

Abstract: Techniques for carrying out multi-pair mode transmission in a DSL system are disclosed. A data stream is transmitted to a receiving node on two or more bonded channels. At the receiving node, the bonded channels are processed to yield the original data stream. Differential delay between the two or more channels of the bond group is dynamically neutralized by keying on the channel having the greatest latency, although static mechanisms for neutralizing the differential delay can also be used.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of providing an early indication of at least one burst allocation made for at least one subscriber station by allocating a predetermined number of bits representing the early indication. The invention also provides a method for generating the predetermined number of bits for providing the early indication by determining whether the subscriber station has the allocation in a current frame and setting a related bit in the predetermined numbers of bits to a predetermined value when an allocation is made for the subscriber station.

Abstract: An integrated routing circuit that provides serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial data conversion, and data transmission over various types of media including coaxial, twisted-pair, and fiber optic media. The integrated routing circuit has two receivers, three multiplexers, a reclocking circuit, a serial to parallel converter, a parallel to serial converter, a serial transmitter, an output controller, and a parallel transmitter. The circuits that form the integrated routing circuit are arranged so that either serial or parallel data sources can be selected from a plurality of inputs to the integrated routing circuit and so that various routing paths can be established for the selected sources. The selected routing path is established via the use of control words.
