G.992.1In telecommunications, ITU-T G.992.1 (better known as G.dmt) is an ITU standard for ADSL using discrete multitone modulation (DMT). G.dmt full-rate ADSL expands the usable bandwidth of existing copper telephone lines, delivering high-speed data communications at rates up to 8 Mbit/s downstream and 1.3 Mbit/s upstream. DMT allocates from 2 to 15 bits per channel (bin). As line conditions change, bit swapping allows the modem to swap bits around different channels, without retraining, as each channel becomes more or less capable.
Cyclic prefixIn telecommunications, the term cyclic prefix refers to the prefixing of a symbol with a repetition of the end. The receiver is typically configured to discard the cyclic prefix samples, but the cyclic prefix serves two purposes: It provides a guard interval to eliminate intersymbol interference from the previous symbol. It repeats the end of the symbol so the linear convolution of a frequency-selective multipath channel can be modeled as circular convolution, which in turn may transform to the frequency domain via a discrete Fourier transform.
Direct-sequence spread spectrumL'étalement de spectre à séquence directe (DSSS : direct-sequence spread spectrum) est une technique d'étalement de spectre utilisée dans les communications par satellite, les réseaux sans fil et plus précisément la version du Wi-Fi définie par la norme IEEE 802.11b. Le but du DSSS est, d'une part, de rendre les signaux occupant une bande de fréquence, comme un signal de parole, plus résistants aux brouillages et aux interférences rencontrés lors de la transmission ; d'autre part de permettre à plusieurs équipements de partager la même fréquence porteuse (accès multiple par répartition par code).
Wireless ad hoc networkA wireless ad hoc network (WANET) or mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, such as routers or wireless access points. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes. The determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity and the routing algorithm in use.
Interférence inter-symboleEn télécommunications, une interférence inter-symbole (en anglais, intersymbol interference ou ISI) est une forme de distorsion d'un signal qui a pour effet que le symbole transmis précédemment affecte le symbole actuellement reçu. C'est en principe un effet non désiré car l'effet du symbole précédent agit comme du bruit, ce qui rend la communication moins fiable. Il existe des solutions pour réduire les interférences inter-symboles par exemple l'algorithme de Viterbi, l'OFDM et l'OFDMA.
Ghosting (television)In television, a ghost is a replica of the transmitted image, offset in position, that is superimposed on top of the main image. It is often caused when a TV signal travels by two different paths to a receiving antenna, with a slight difference in timing. Common causes of ghosts (in the more specific sense) are: Mismatched impedance along the communication channel, which causes unwanted reflections. The technical term for this phenomenon is ringing.
