Dynamically reconfigurable adaptive communication device and system

A dynamically reconfigurable channel adaptive communication system, comprising:

• a transmitter having reconfigurable logic configured to transmit a modulated information signal;
• a receiver having reconfigurable logic, the receiver coupled to the transmitter to receive the modulated information signal;
• the transmitter and the receiver being coupled via a communication channel;
• a channel estimator instantiated in the reconfigurable logic of one of the transmitter and the receiver, the channel estimator being enabled to measure received modulated information signal and to determine an inverse frequency response of the communication channel responsive to the modulated information signal measured in a first mode;
• a pre-equalizer instantiated in the reconfigurable logic of the other one of the transmitter and the receiver to apply the inverse frequency response of the communication channel to the modulated information signal in a second mode;
• and
• a respective controller instantiated in each of the transmitter and the receiver to dynamically control reconfiguration of the reconfigurable logic of each of the transmitter and the receiver;
• the respective controller configured to swap out the channel estimator for the pre-equalizer when going from the first mode to the second mode by reusing at least a portion of the reconfigurable logic employed to provide the channel estimator for providing the pre-equalizer.
