Aspects of methods and systems for frequency multiplexing suitable for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) are provided. A system for multiplexing signals according to frequency comprises a DOCSIS port interface, an upstream interface, a downstream interface, and a circulator subsystem. The DOCSIS port interface comprises a plurality of channel filters. The upstream interface is operably coupled to a first channel filter of the plurality of channel filters, and the downstream interface is operably coupled to a second channel filter of the plurality of channel filters. The circulator subsystem is able to direct a first signal from the upstream interface to the DOCSIS port interface and is able to direct a second signal from the DOCSIS port interface to the downstream interface.

A method and a device for receiving transmitting data in in a wireless local area network are provided. The device receives a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from a station over a transmission bandwidth and determines whether the station is a member of a basic service set (BSS) managed by the device based on the PPDU. When the PPDU is a multi-user (MU)-PPDU, the AP determines that the station is not a member of the BSS managed by the AP. Such MU-PPDU includes a first signal field and a second signal field, the first signal field having bandwidth information indicating the transmission bandwidth, the second signal field having user-specific information with allocation for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) transmission.

A distortion compensation device includes a first table, a second table, a calculating unit, a first updating unit, and a second updating unit. The first table holds a coefficient of a nonlinear term included in a filtering coefficient associated with an address other than a prescribed address obtained from the input signal x(n). The second table holds a coefficient of a linear term related to the prescribed address. The calculating unit calculates, based on the output signal, each of the update amounts of the coefficient of the nonlinear term and the coefficient of the linear term. The first updating unit updates each of the coefficients in the first table based on the update amount of the coefficient of the nonlinear term. The second updating unit updates each of the coefficients of the second table based on the update amount of the coefficient of the linear term.

According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding apparatus for controlling power in a multi-core processor chip include: accumulating, at a controller within the multi-core processor chip, one or more power estimates associated with multiple core processors within the multi-core processor chip. A global power threshold is determined based on a cumulative power estimate, the cumulative power estimate being determined based at least in part on the one or more power estimates accumulated. The controller causes power consumption at each of the core processors to be controlled based on the determined global power threshold. The controller may directly control power consumption at the core processors or may command the core processors to do so.

A first base station may receive, from a second base station, cell configuration parameters of one or more cells of the second base station. The cell configuration parameters may indicating at least one first information element (IE) indicating a first identifier of a first cell of the one or more cells, at least one second IE indicating that the first cell is an unlicensed cell, and at least one third IE indicating radio frequency channel number of the unlicensed cell. The first base station may send, to the second base station, a handover request message for a wireless device after receiving the cell configuration parameters.

A communication method, and including: receiving transmissions of at least two channels; determining a sequence of the transmissions through the at least two channels; and processing the received transmissions through the at least two channels according to the sequence of the transmissions through the at least two channels.

A gear shifting technique has been developed in which modulation and equalization are shifted to achieve optional performance. In one form, two or more equalizers, each associated with a demodulator and message decoder, determine if the modulation being used can be increased in complexity in order to increase the channel throughput or determine if the modulation method should be reduced in complexity in order to improve the receiver error performance. The quality metrics can based on which equalizer-demodulator-decoder is set to first detect a valid message. Other factors can be considered with this technique such as a packet-error ratio and a signal-to-noise ratio. In a financial trading system, message erasures can be favored over errored messages by limiting the number of bit or symbol corrections permitted per message to less than the maximum possible for the selected decoding schemes.
