Patent EP-0942577-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YEH HAN C
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: A HSP Communication system (100) includes a host computer (110) which executes a
software portion of an HSP modem and a device (130) containing a digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) (137). In response to interrupts, the host executes an update routine that
generates and writes samples to a software circular buffer (148) in memory of the host
computer. The samples represent amplitudes of an analog signal complying with a desired
communication protocol. A direct transfer moves samples from the software circular buffer to
a hardware circular buffer (136) of the device, and the DAC converts the samples from the
hardware circular buffer into an analog communication signal. In an exemplary embodiment,
the hardware portion is coupled to a PCI bus in the host computer, and direct transfers are
according to the PCI bus master protocol. In environments such as a multi-tasking systems,
the host may skip interrupts or otherwise not provide new samples when required. In this
case, the direct transfers transfer old samples, and the DAC reuses samples from the software
circular buffer to generate a maintenance signal. If direct transfers are delayed, the DAC can
reuse samples from the hardware circular buffer to generate the maintenance signal. The
maintenance signal typically does not convey correct data but is sufficient to maintain a
communication link and prevent a remote device from disconnecting or entering a retrain
mode. For a better maintenance signal, the circular buffers contains samples for an integral
numbers of periods of the baud frequency of the desired protocol. Error correction and
retransmission can replace incorrect or lost data.

IPC: H04L7/033
Filed: 1999-10-18
Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for clock recovery on a burst-like waveform. The
system is essentially characterised by successive steps of detecting the zero crossings of the
input waveform, filtering out the zero crossings associated with smooth transitions of the
input waveform, processing the remaining steep zero crossings to extract their phase with
respect to a free running reference clock and computing the average of these phase
observations to obtain the phase of the desired recovered clock. Comprising a memory
storage with dynamically varying depth for maintaining phase values this non-decision
directed clock recovery system handles in a unified and very efficient manner the problems
of fast clock acquisition and reliable tracking. Modulation formats employing dense symbol
constellation mappings such as QAM can be accommodated. The invention more
particularly applies to wireline and wireless communication systems in point-to-multipoint
and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations, or systems transmitting data over fast fading
and time varying channels.
