Abstract: L'invention concerne un système, un appareil et un procédé destinés à un récepteur de compensation de résidus en parallèle (PRC) à plusieurs étages permettant de renforcer la suppression d'interférence d'accès multiple (MAI) dans des systèmes à accès multiple par différence de code (AMDC). On améliore la précision de l'estimation d'interférence en utilisant un ensemble de pondérations calculées à partir de l'algorithme adaptatif d'approximation des moindres carrés normalisée (NLMS). Pour réduire la complexité, on extrait la similitude du traitement par codes multiples et on l'utilise pour calculer une structure de PRC de manière à éviter une annulation d'interférence directe. La structure de PRC calculée réduit l'architecture d'annulation d'interférence d'une complexité qui est proportionnelle au carré du nombre d'utilisateurs à une complexité qui est linéaire par rapport au nombre d'utilisateurs. On réduit encore la complexité en remplaçant des lignes multiplicatrices spécialisées par une logique de combinaison simple.

Abstract: A One Time Programmable (OTP) memory cell (10) comprising a first, metallic layer (12) coated with a second, conductive stable transition compound (14) with an insulating layer (16) there-between. The first and second layers (12, 14) are selected according to the difference in Gibbs Free Energy between them, which dictates the chemical energy that will be generated as a result of an exothermic chemical reaction between the two materials. The materials of the first and second layers (12, 14) are highly thermally stable in themselves but, when a voltage is applied to the cell (10), a localized breakdown of the insulative layer (16) results which creates a hotspot (18) that sets off an exothermic chemical reaction between the first and second layers (12, 14). The exothermic reaction generates sufficient heat (20) to create a short circuit across the cell and therefore reduce the resistance thereof.
