Vertically stacked optical banyan (VSOB) is an attractive architecture for constructing banyan-based optical switches. Blocking analysis is an effective approach to studying network performance and finding a graceful compromise among hardware cost, blocking probability and crosstalk tolerance; however, little has been done on analyzing the blocking behavior of VSOB networks under crosstalk cons...

Crosstalk among telephone lines in the same or neighboring bundles is a major impairment in current xDSL systems. This paper proposes a novel idea of an impartial third party that identifies the crosstalk coupling functions among the twisted pairs in these xDSL systems. The crosstalk identification technique includes the following four major procedures: 1) the transmitted and received signals f...

An important case of multiuser channel estimation is considered here, the problem of identifying the crosstalk that disturbs a DSL signal. Crosstalk originates from signals transmitted on nearby pairs in a telephone cable, and couples over unknown pair-to-pair crosstalk coupling channels into the pair carrying the signal. While crosstalk is generally the dominant impairment for current DSL syst...

Bidirectional intercellular signaling is an essential feature of multicellular organisms, and the engineering of complex biological systems will require multiple pathways for intercellular signaling with minimal crosstalk. Natural quorum-sensing systems provide components for cell communication, but their use is often constrained by signal crosstalk. We have established new orthogonal systems f...

BACKGROUND The recording of human movement is an essential requirement for biomechanical, clinical, and occupational analysis, allowing assessment of postural variation, occupational risks, and preventive programs in physical therapy and rehabilitation. The flexible electrogoniometer (EGM), considered a reliable and accurate device, is used for dynamic recordings of different joints. Despite th...

As VLSI technology has scale down to the deep sub-micrometer (DSM) technology the global interconnect delay is becoming a large fraction of the overall delay of a circuit. Additionally, the increasing cross-coupling capacitances between wires on the same metal layer create a situation where the delay of a wire is strongly dependent on the electrical state of its neighboring wires. So the crosst...

The development and assessment of spectrum management methods for the copper access network are usually conducted under the assumption of accurate channel information. Acquiring such information implies, in practice, estimation of the crosstalk coupling functions between the twisted-pair lines in the access network. This type of estimation is not supported or required by current digital subscri...

Rapport technique de l'INRS-T el ecommunications no. 97-01 Preliminary work on crosstalk cancellation was carried out by Bertrand Lacotte of ENST, Paris during his stay at INRS-T el ecommunications between August and December 1995 and then described in a preliminary report 3]. The work was continued in 1996 by the other two authors. This report is an exact replica of a paper submitted to the IE...
