Abstract: The invention relates to a method for encoding a set of data symbols comprising zero-valued data symbols and non-zero-valued data symbols that comprises assigning a codeword to represent a non-zero-valued data symbol and an associated number of preceding or following zero-valued data symbols by performing a mapping operation. According to the invention, the mapping operation by which a codeword is assigned to a non-zero-valued data symbol and its associated number of preceding or following zero-valued data symbols is dependent on a maximum possible number of zero-valued data symbols in said set of data symbols. A corresponding decoding method, as well as encoding and decoding devices are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wavelength stabilized laser module including a semiconductor laser (900), a power control loop, a wavelength control loop and a narrow bandpass wavelength selective transmission filter element (930). The power control loop includes a first sensor (910), which is adapted to produce a first electric signal (lP) in response to a first light signal (L1) from the laser (900). A power-monitoring module (915) in this loop is adapted to receive the first electric signal (Ip), and in response thereto produce a power control signal (Ibias) to the laser (900). The wavelength control loop includes a second sensor (920), which is adapted to produce a second electric signal (lw) in response to a second light signal (L2) from the laser. A wavelength monitoring module (925) in this loop is adapted to, based on the second electric signal (lw), produce a wavelength control signal (Itec) to a thermo-electric cooling unit (905) associated with the laser (900). The wavelength control signal (Itec) and the power control signal (Ibias) both influence the characteristics of a light spectrum (L) produced by the laser (900). The filter element (930) has a Fabry-Perot structure and is arranged to constitute an exclusive intermediary element between the laser (900) and the second sensor (920), such that the second light signal (L2) passes through the filter element (930) to the second sensor (920). Moreover, the first sensor (910) is arranged such that the first light signal (L1) directly illuminates the first sensor (910), i.e. without passing through the filter element (930).

Abstract: Systems and methods of discovering devices on a plug and play network provide for enhanced network performance. Initial discovery messages can be adapted based on predetermined characteristics of access points such as the access point being associated with a high loss connection to a network node and the access point being associated with a congested environment with regard to discovery traffic. In one approach, initial discovery messages are transmitted over a wireless connection in unicast so that error correction is implemented. Other approaches involve storing notification messages at access points to minimize discovery traffic, and transmitting initial discovery messages at the lowest available transmission rate to eliminate the need for the transmission of multiple copies.
