Abstract
The present invention is directed to unique methods and apparatus for suppressing impulse noise in a multipoint communications environment using a linear block interleaver. One representative embodiment comprises first logic configured to arithmetically combine a time series of input symbols into a block of N-symbol combinations, and second logic configured to transmit, on a separate channel, each N-symbol combination to a receiver. The first logic is located in a transmitter of a first communications device. The time series has size N and N is greater than one, and each of the input symbols is taken from a signaling constellation.
Claims20
A communication system for noise suppression comprising:
- first logic configured to combine a time series of input symbols, where the time series has size N and N is greater than one, into a block of N-symbol combinations, where each of the input symbols is taken from a signaling constellation;
- and
- second logic configured to transmit each N-symbol combination, on a separate channel, to a receiver.
A method for noise suppression comprising the steps of:
- combining a time series of input symbols, where the time series has size N and N is greater than one, into a block of N-symbol combinations, where each of the input symbols is taken from a signaling constellation;
- and
- transmitting each N-symbol combination, on a separate channel, to a receiver.
A communication system for noise suppression comprising:
- a means for combining a time series of input symbols, where the time series has size N and N is greater than one, into a block of N-symbol combinations, where each of the input symbols is taken from a signaling constellation;
- and
- logic configured to transmit each N-symbol combination, on a separate channel, to a receiver.
A program embodied in a computer-readable medium, the program comprising:
- first logic configured to combine a time series of input symbols, where the time series has size N and N is greater than one, into a block of N-symbol combinations, where each of the input symbols is taken from a signaling constellation;
- and
- second logic configured to transmit each N-symbol combination, on a separate channel, to a receiver.
