Abstract:

A system and method for reordering tones of a DMT signal within a communication system is described. Cross tone correlated noise in a received signal is identified and rearranged such that tones with correlated noise are spread out throughout the received signal before being processed by a decoder such as, Viterbi decoder. In an embodiment, two tones with the most correlated noise are placed at each end of the sequence of tones presented to the Viterbi decoder. In some embodiment, the tones with correlated noise can be spread such that two adjacent tones with correlated noise have a minimum distance of at least three tones between them at the input to the Viterbi decoder. In other embodiment, tones in the received signal can be processed in various kinds of interleavers for reordering according to the interleaver scheme.

Abstract:

A software box or package with reduced original dimensions may be configured to be manipulated to form a box with at least one dimension that is longer than the original dimensions. For example, the box may be manipulated to form an expanded box with a longer height, depth, and/or width than the un-expanded box. In some embodiments, one or more sides of the box may be unfolded and/or one or more internal boxes may be unfolded or pulled out of the un-expanded box to form the expanded box. The expanded box may be used to store documents, back-up software copies, instructions, etc. The expanded box may have a height and width approximately the same as a file folder and may be stored in a filing cabinet. Such software boxes may include boxes for tax software, real estate software, résumés, etc.
