  • Symbol Generation In Different Multicarrier Systems Operating In Overlapped Frequency Bandwidths
    Publication number: 20130051484
    Abstract: At least one implementation herein enables at least two multicarrier apparatuses or nodes operating on overlapped frequency bands with different tone spacing to communicate. In particular, a first node may use a tone spacing that is less than the tone spacing used by a second node. The first and second nodes may communicate and are thus aligned when the second node transmits identical symbols over a time duration equal to a length of a symbol used by the first node.

  • Protection of Communication Systems Against Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise
    Publication number: 20120027069
    Abstract: A method limits the effect of repetitive electrical impulse noise in a communication system. The presence of the repetitive electrical impulse noise is detected during communication service. If the repetitive electrical impulse noise is detected, then a message is transmitted which signals that the repetitive electrical impulse noise is present. Other systems and methods are disclosed.

  • ENHANCED NETWORK/DOMAIN NAME HASHING TECHNIQUES
    Publication number: 20120011229
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to a generation of a short identifier of a domain/network that is based upon the long human-readable network/domain name (NDN) that a user or admin typically gives to the network/domain. With one or more implementations described herein, the short network/domain identifier (DNI) is based upon a version of the long human-readable NDN that has been modified to remove any data that is superfluous to distinguishing the NDN for any other. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

  • Methods and systems for adaptive communication
    Patent number: 8027388
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of transferring data in a communication system. In the method, an initial impulse noise protection value is determined. A number of redundancy bits is added to blocks of data to form codewords as a function of the initial impulse noise protection value, where the impulse noise protection value corresponds to a number of consecutive symbols that can be corrected. The number of symbols that can be correctly transmitted is changed by changing only the number of redundancy bits added to each block of data.
