Information to indicate the BFT data unit conforms to the second format is transmitted to a receiving device. The BFT data unit is generated according to the second format, wherein the BFT data unit includes BFT information elements. The BFT data unit is then transmitted to the receiving device.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Marvell World Trade Ltd.Inventors: Hongyuan Zhang, Rohit U.

Publication number: 20130163642Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit for a radio communication terminal sequentially uses a plurality of frequency channels by instructions from a hopping frequency decision unit to receive packet data by a reception unit. When the integrated circuit cannot detect the head of the packet data in reception operations, the integrated circuit cannot receive packet data should be received originally then assumes that the received packet data is a packet error. And the integrated circuit calculates packet error rates for each frequency channel on the basis of the number of times of reception operations performed for each frequency channel and of the number of times of packet errors to estimate channel qualities by using the packet error rates.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2013Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventor: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA

Publication number: 20130142218Abstract: A transmitter includes a synthesis filter bank to spread a data symbol to a plurality of frequencies by encoding the data symbol on each frequency, apply a common pulse-shaping filter, and apply gains to the frequencies such that a power level of each frequency is less than a noise level of other communication signals within the spectrum. Each frequency is modulated onto a different evenly spaced subcarrier. A demodulator in a receiver converts a radio frequency input to a spread-spectrum signal in a baseband. A matched filter filters the spread-spectrum signal with a common filter having characteristics matched to the synthesis filter bank in the transmitter by filtering each frequency to generate a sequence of narrow pulses. A carrier recovery unit generates control signals responsive to the sequence of narrow pulses suitable for generating a phase-locked loop between the demodulator, the matched filter, and the carrier recovery unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Applicant: BATTELLE ENERGY ALLIANCE, LLCInventors: Hussein Moradi, Behrouz Farhang, Carl A.

Patent number: 8457175Abstract: The frequency of a digital data signal, such as a digital video signal, is intentionally varied or hopped before being sent over a network. This frequency hopping may be performed in accordance with a frequency hopping pattern shared with only intended receivers. The digital data signal may be further intentionally pre-distorted in accordance with a pre-distortion pattern which is also shared with only intended receivers. The frequency hopping and/or the pre-distortion patterns may be used to vary the frequency and modulation, respectively, on a periodic basis, such as a symbol-by-symbol or packet-by-packet basis.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2009Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Robert Hardacker, James R.
