Abstract: A composite wireless device including a WLAN device and a BT device. The composite wireless device includes a wireless-channel control unit that determines usable FH channels that can be used for frequency hopping of the BT device, based on communication quality information of the WLAN channel, and notifies the BT device of the usable frequency bands, and a BT-communication control unit that acquires communication quality information of an extended frequency band, which is a frequency band other than the usable frequency bands, as extended communication quality information. The wireless-channel control unit adds the FH channels in the WLAN channel, which are determined as being unused based on the extended communication quality information, as the usable FH channels.
Abstract: A method of detecting interference in a received sample vector using hidden Markov modelling by first estimating noise variance, where estimating noise variance comprises the steps of receiving a sample vector of noise and interference, sorting the sample vector in the frequency domain by order of increasing magnitude to produce an ordered vector, finding a sub-vector of the ordered vector that minimizes the distance from a noise measure, and estimating the noise variance.
Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an input signal from a receiver that includes a series of bits and further comprising residual boundary intersymbol interference (ISI). The method includes identifying a first bit sequence in the input signal and identifying a second bit sequence in the input signal that differs from the first bit sequence with respect to one or more data values of one or more bits in the first and second bit sequences corresponding to particular residual boundary ISI for measurement. The method includes determining a difference between first boundary error in the first bit sequence and second boundary error in the second bit sequence and measuring the particular residual boundary ISI by the difference for use in adaptive equalizer control.
Abstract: An adaptive multi-channel architecture for a wireless network is provided. A frequency hopping sequence generator module is compliant with a frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) communications protocol. The frequency hopping sequence generator module is capable of performing FHSS concurrently on a plurality of communications channels. A frequency replacement module is coupled to the frequency hopping sequence generator module. The frequency replacement module is configured to receive feedback data over a feedback channel and adaptively select a transmission channel from the plurality of communications channels using the feedback data.
