Title: Telecommunication system with simplified receiver
Inventor: WITCHARD CLYDE
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 2006-10-24
Abstract: There is described a system for transmitting data from a transmitter to a receiver. In the receiver, a waveform synchronization error is estimated, and an error signal is sent to the transmitter. In the transmitter, the transmitted signal is corrected, based on the error signal. The transmitted signal may contain a carrier phase probe, allowing the receiver to estimate carrier phase errors, and may contain symbol phase probes, allowing the receiver to estimate symbol phase errors. This allows the receiver to make the required error estimates in a simple manner, and thus is particularly applicable in situations where the receiver is a battery powered portable device, because the error estimates can be formed without large increases in the size or power consumption of the receiver. A further embodiment relates to a data receiver for receiving a data signal from a data transmitter, wherein the transmitter and receiver operate according to the time division duplex system, wherein the data receiver is adapted to transmit a sounding signal periodically to the data transmitter and wherein the sounding signal is used at the data transmitter to form a channel estimate therefrom and subsequently the data transmitter pre-equalizes the data signal sent to the data receiver based on the channel estimate.

Title: Enabling Peer to Peer (P2P) communication in the presence of Network Address Translators (NATs)
Inventor: COOPER ERIC
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2008-02-21
Abstract: A method and system of enabling communication between peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network in the presence of network address translators (NAT) i.e. NAT traversal. The method includes: assigning a unique peer identifier to each one of the plurality of peers in the P2P network; establishing an overlay topology connecting each peer to a subset of the plurality of peers in a structured connection pattern based on the unique peer identifier of each peer, each one of the plurality of peers having more connections to close peers and fewer connections to distant peers; and routing messages between peers through the established overlay topology. Aspects of the invention include assigning the unique peer identifier comprising hashing/coding an attribute (network address, MAC address, serial number) of the peers. The partial mesh of connections (overlay) strikes a balance between a ring overlay where each peers is connected only to two neighbour peers and a full mesh overlay where all pairs of peers are connected while still allowing messages to be delivered across NATs.
