A receiver may be operable to receive a QAM-based, inter-symbol correlated (ISC) signal at a signal-to-noise ratio of between 29 dB and 31 dB and process the QAM-based, ISC signal to output estimated symbols at a symbol error rate of between 2×10−1 and 1×10−3. The QAM-based, ISC signal may be a partial response signal generated by passing a first signal through a partial response pulse shaping filter. The partial response pulse shaping filter may provide greater capacity than a capacity achieved by passing the first signal through a root-raised-cosine-based pulse shaping filter. The receiver may comprises an input filter, and the processing of the QAM-based, ISC signal may comprises filtering the QAM-based, ISC signal via a filter configured to achieve a desired total partial response in combination with the partial response pulse shaping filter.

What is disclosed is a system and method for encoding and decoding data in a color barcode pattern using dot orientation and color separability. The spectral (wavelength) characteristics of the CMY colorants, commonly used in digital printing, and those of RGB sensors are exploited to achieve high capacity data embedding rates in color barcodes. The present method embeds independent data in two different printer colorant channels using dot orientation modulation. In the print end, dots of two colorants occupy the same spatial region. At the detector end, by using the complementary sensor channels to estimate the colorant channels, data is recovered in each colorant channel. The method approximately doubles the capacity of encoding methods based upon a single colorant channel and enables embedding rates which match or exceed that of other hardcopy barcodes known in the arts. The method is robust against inter-separation misregistration with a small symbol error rate.

Techniques to adjust the setpoint of a power control loop in a wireless communication system. The setpoint may be adjusted based on frame status indicative of erased / good decoded frames, one or more (typically soft) metrics indicative of the confidence in the decoded results, power surplus / deficit indicative of the difference between the received signal quality and the setpoint, setpoint surplus / deficit indicative of the difference between the setpoint and a threshold Eb / Nt needed for the desired level of performance, or a combination thereof. The metrics may include re-encoded symbol error rate, re-encoded power metric, modified Yamamoto metric, minimum or average LLR among decoded bits, number of decoding iterations, and possibly others. The setpoint may be adjusted in different manners and / or by different amounts depending on the above-noted factors. The techniques may be employed for forward and / or reverse links in CDMA systems.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for preventing false packet acceptance in high-speed links.

An equalization method and device for equalizing the received vestigial sideband (VSB) signal, utilizes segment-sync symbols, Sato directions, erasure slicers, and variable step-sizes. In addition to stop-and-go (SAG) mode, the directions of Sato errors can also be used for speed up the convergence of tap weights of the equalizer. Erasure slicers can mitigate the effect of decision errors as they are passed through the feedback filter. In time-variant environments, variable step-sizes help the equalizer tracking the variations of the channels; in time-invariant environments, variable step-sizes help ease the fluctuations of the steady-state equalizer tap weights, and therefore yield smaller mean-squared-error and better symbol error rate (SER).
