    The degradation in echo canceler performance caused by frequency offset (phase roll) in the far-end echo is investigated. It is determined that even a very small nonzero frequency offset, in extreme situations of -0.01 Hz, can lead to an acceptable degradation in the performance of the echo canceler. A method for compensating the frequency offset is also devised and recommended. The method directly estimates the offset frequency while maintaining the use of the Nyquist T/3 echo canceler. This latter feature contrasts with previous methods, which usually revert to the more computationally intensive cross-coupled echo canceler for the implementation. As acquisition of frequency offset in the presence of a strong double talker is very slow; a fast acquisition method is presumed

    The important problem of Adaptive Line Enhancing (ALE) is addressed in this paper. Its solution involves an Adaptive Notch Filter (ANF) proposed in [1],[2] using a minimal parameter constrained infinite impulse response (IIR) model in conjunction with the Recursive Prediction Error Method (RPEM) [3].

    Space-time codes have been introduced to improve a mobile system's performance in a multipath fading environment. We consider an L-multipath, m mobile-antenna system in which the base station has a phased n-antenna array (i.e. fading at the base station antennas is completely correlated). We show that when the channel has no ISI, then adaptive antennas, in the form of beamforming,

    It is well known that the minimum mean square error (MMSE) and minimum peak distortion (MPD) criteria do not minimize bit error rate (MinBER), and for some channels they can have a large degradation compared to the MinBER solution. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of the MMSE and MPD criteria, we have defined two new solutions, which we call minimum noise limited peak distortion (MNLPD) and min-α. The first solution is based on MPD but avoids the problem of noise enhancement. The second solution finds the optimal of a family of equalizers derived from the MMSE and MPD criteria. We have shown by numerical calculation that by using the MNLPD or the min-α criteria we can achieve almost MinBER performance. The proposed methods have a larger complexity, but can be solved using well known techniques since they can be described as simple convex optimization problems

    Fast, fixed-order, exact-least-squares algorithms for tapped-delay-line adaptive-filtering applications are presented in this paper. These new recursive algorithms require fewer operations per iteration and exhibit better numerical properties than the so-called Fast-Kalman algorithm of Ljung and Falconer [1978] and the unnormalized, least-squares, joint-process-lattice algorithms of Morf and Lee [1978]. In comparison with the currently used stochastic-gradient or LMS adaptive algorithm of

    We study the problem of optimizing the mapping of LDPC codes on parallel machines to minimize the communication cost. To reduce the search space, the problem is solved in two stages: clustering, and cluster allocation. We propose a simplified clustering technique based on a modified min-cut algorithm that reduces the search complexity from O(n2) to O(n). It was found that

    Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet subscriptions form an overwhelming majority (60 70%) of the world’s 700+ million fixed-line access connections today. While the name for any DSL link may have changed terminology to “G.fast”, “homes passed”, “fiber-tothe-curb/node/basement/distribution-point”, etc., those same copper twisted-pairs today are the workhorse delivery mechanism to billions of end-user devices and Internet endpoints in residential and commercial connections. Even though the transmission characteristics of fiber may be better, it is the cost of replacing copper by fiber that has delayed the promises of fiber to everyone’s home for over 40 years. This article provides an update on some of the most recent developments in DSL technology.

    This paper investigates the problem of maximizing the spectral efficiency for adaptive modulated systems with a peak power constraint. The solutions for both the continuous constellation case and the discrete constellation case are derived by the Lagrangian method,and an iterative algorithm solving the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions are proposed. Our simulation results show that the spectral efficiency loss due to
