Efficient Multi-Carrier Communication on the Digital Subscriber Loop
Efficient Multi-Carrier Communication on the Digital Subscriber Loop Donnacha Daly Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Architecture University College Dublin National University of Ireland A thesis presented to the National University of Ireland Faculty of Engineering and Architecture in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2003 Research Supervisors: Dr. C. Heneghan Prof. A. D. Fagan Head of Department: Prof. T. Brazil Abstract This thesis explores three distinct philosophies for improving the efficiency of multi-carrier com- munication on the digital subscriber loop. The first topic discussed is impulse response shortening for discrete multitone transceivers. The minimum mean-squared error impulse response shortener is reformulated to allow near-optimal rate performance. It is demonstrated that the best existing eigen-filter designed channel shortener is a particular case of the proposed reformulation. An adap- tive time-domain LMS algorithm is provided as an alternative to eigen-decomposition. The next part of the thesis examines bit- and power- loading algorithms for multitone systems. The problem of rate-optimal loading has already been solved. It is shown, however, that the rate-optimal solu- tion does not give best value for complexity, and that near optimal schemes can perform very well at a fraction of the computational cost. The final section of the thesis is a brief exposition of the use of wavelet packets to achieve multi-carrier communication. It is proposed that the non-uniform spectral decomposition afforded by wavelet packet modulation allows reduced inter-symbol inter- ference effects in a dispersive channel. -

Replacing 1200 Baud AFSK FM with PSK and Deploying DTN Iain Young [email protected] Agenda ● Introductions ● AX.25 Link Established! ● Exactly What Are We ● Adding TCP/UDP/IP Planning To Replace ? ● Adding DTN ● Why Replace It ? ● Results ● Computer Network Theory ● Conclusions ● How We Replaced It ● Future Experiments – Tools and Utilities Needed ● Acknowledgements – RF Setup and Maps Introductions ● Two major areas of focus – Replacing AX.25 1200 baud AFSK FM with PSK – Deploying DTN ● Who ? – Iain Young, G7III, MAXPAK Chairman – Dave Madew, M0DCM, MAXPAK Committee Member ● MAXPAK – Formed as a dedicated AX.25 Packet group for the Midlands – Constitution changed a couple of years ago, to include all digital modes So What Are We Replacing, And What Are We Not Replacing ? ● The AX.25 Physical Layer – In “Network” Parlance, Layer 1 – We mean the 1200 baud AFSK FM transmissions ● We are not replacing what the network world would call “Layer 2” or “The Data Link Layer” where you send and receive AX.25 frames to and from AX.25 addresses ● The mode we are all familiar with could be more formally described as AX.25 over 1200 baud AFSK FM ● The mode we will be creating could be more formally described as AX.25 over PSK Why Do This ? (1) ● 1200 baud AFSK FM is not exactly well known for it's effeciency, especially with regards to: – Spectrum usage, – Power requirements – Link budget ● Even it's 300 baud cousin is not particularly well thought of on HF, can be improved on and that's only a quarter the throughput! Why Do This ? (2) ● Plenty have claimed -
HF Digital Mode Primer
HF Digital Mode Primer By Val Campbell K7HCP INTRODUCTION Getting started using the Amateur Radio Digital Modes of communications can be confusing and frustrating at times but it doesn’t have to be that way. The purpose of this primer is to introduce you to the basics of using this fun to use mode of communication and to provide you with the understanding of the processes to setting up your hardware and software to easily and quickly start copying and later to start sending digital communications on the amateur radio HF shortwave bands. The minimum hardware requirements to receive or copy HF digital communications are a personal computer (PC) with a standard sound card and a short wave or ham radio receiver with SSB mode. A receiver with digital tuning display is preferred but a receiver with analog tuning can work also. You may have heard about various digital modes such as RTTY, SSTV, PACTOR, PSK31, and of course, CW. CW or Morse Code, as it is more commonly known, was the original digital mode used in communications; however few thought of it as digital until recently. Just like our old wristwatches were analog watches, we didn’t think of them as such until digital watches came into existence. PSK31 has become by far the most popular digital mode used by amateur radio operators lately. PSK31 stands for Phase Shift Keying with a bandwidth of only 31 hertz. That’s really all you need to know to use this mode of communications. The program does the rest for you. The ARRL has the following to say about PSK31 : Since the spring of 1999, PSK31 has taken off like wildfire. -
Overview of Ham Radio Software
OVERVIEW OF SOFTWARE FOR DIGITAL HAM RADIO Where to download free software: (often there are helpful help files also, so you might want to peruse around a bit more than just download) FLDIGI https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/fldigi- 3.23.15_setup.exe/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/ Downloading FLDIGI can be a bit tricky. Try going to the above page and then selecting (for Windows) the file ending with “setup.exe”. WINLINK EXPRESS http://www.winlink.org/sites/default/files/downloads/winlink_express_insta ll_1-4-2-0.zip UZ7HO http://uz7.ho.ua/modem_beta/soundmodem95.zip is the actual download. SOUNDMODEM.EXE WINDOWS BPQ http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/LastestInstaller/ is the directory http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/LastestInstaller/BPQ 32_6.0.13.1_20160927.exe is the actual download link Malware Detection Software: Many commercial virus checkers and malware detectors will consider very rare software to be automatically suspect, and delete or refuse to run or load it. You will have to find out how to tell your malware detection software to accept these quite- respectable programs. Every malware detection program works differently, so read your instructions! Digital Ham Radio has many facets. Characters from a computer become some version of “tones” going to a transmitter microphone input; audio from a receiver speaker output gets transformed into characters in a computer and possibly visible on the screen to a user. Software & hardware combine to make this magic happen. This paper will attempt to categorize the major software required to accomplish several communications. -
