Abstract: In a multi-carrier transmission system, a clock timing error (τ e ) is calculated
at the receiver's side and used for synchronisation between a transmitting modem
and a receiving modem (RX1). The clock timing error (τ e ) is calculated from phase
errors ( 0 ,  1 , ... , i , ...,  N-1 ) detected for a plurality of pilot carriers during a
tracking mode in such a way that the share (A i ) of a phase error ( i ) detected for a
particular pilot carrier in the clock timing error (τ e ) depends on the transmission
quality (SNR i ) of that pilot carrier over the transmission medium in between the two
modems. In this way, the robustness of the synchronisation for narrowband noise
near a pilot carrier is improved significantly.

Abstract: Described is the use of multilayered thin film particles as a
tag. The sequence and/or thickness of individual layers which
are distinct in their chemical composition is analytically
identifiable and represents a code. Thus the incorporation in
any organic or inorganic material provides the product formed
thereof with an undistinguishable feature. A preferred
embodiment is the incorporation of the encoded particles in a
coating composition and printing ink. 
     Additionally a strong protection against illicit reproduction
is achievable by applying these encoded particles.

Abstract: Diversity path signals, each comprising time division multiplexed symbols in a time slot including known symbols constituting a reference signal, are combined with respective weights to reduce-co-channel interference. The weights are determined, from a correlation matrix and a reference signal correlation vector, using a sliding window starting with synchronization symbols and/or CDVCC (coded digital verification colour code) symbols as the known symbols. SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio) is determined for each window position from elements of the correlation matrix and the reference signal correlation vector. The determined SINRs are averaged through the time slot, over a plurality of time slots, and for the diversity paths to provide an accurate determination of SINR within a short period. The SINR provides a reliable signal quality parameter that is useful in a cellular communications system for procedures such as hand-off, adaptive channel allocation, dynamic power control, and cell tiering.
