20110029845 - Apparatus, systems and methods including nonbinary low density parity check coding for enhanced multicarrier underwater acoustic communications: Advantageous underwater acoustic (UWA) apparatus, systems and methods are provided according to the present disclosure. The apparatus, systems and methods employ nonbinary low density parity check (LDPC) codes that achieve excellent performance and match well with the underlying modulation. The nonbinary LDPC codes of the proposed apparatus, systems and methods... Agent: Mccarter & English, LLP Stamford

20110029846 - Multi-source data encoding, transmission and decoding using slepian-wolf codes based on channel code partitioning: System and method for designing Slepian-Wolf codes by channel code partitioning. A generator matrix is partitioned to generate a plurality of sub-matrices corresponding respectively to a plurality of correlated data sources. The partitioning is performed in accordance with a rate allocation among the plurality of correlated data sources. A corresponding... Agent: Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP

20110029847 - Processing of data integrity field: A network communication device includes a host interface, which is coupled to communicate with a host processor, having a memory, so as to receive a work request to convey one or more data blocks over a network. The work request specifies a memory region of a given data size, and... Agent: D. Kligler I.p. Services Ltd

20110029848 - Error checking with data presence detection: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting presence of data, wherein input data is decoded using a decoder metric to obtain decoded data, and an error check is performed for the decoded data. Furthermore, a threshold value is determined based on an obtained maximum value... Agent: Nokia, Inc.
