Abstract: An adaptive interface controller including a plurality of MII ports operable at either one of the first and second transmission rates, a corresponding plurality of Manchester ports operable at the first transmission rate and an MII interface operable at the second transmission rate. The adaptive interface controller includes first select logic that provides data from an active one of the MII ports for one of the Manchester ports or to the MII interface depending upon the transmission rate. Manchester encoding logic is provided to receive data from the first select logic for an active port, to convert the data to Manchester format and to provide the encoded data to a corresponding one of the Manchester ports. Second select logic provides data transmitted to the MII interface for a selected one of the MII ports. Manchester decoding logic detects Manchester encoded data transmitted to any of the Manchester ports and converts the encoded data a serial to bit stream. Third select logic provides received data from either one of the Manchester decoding logic and the second logic to a corresponding one of the MII ports. The encoding and decoding logic are part of communication apparatus which includes respective FIFO memories that each include enough data bits deep to prevent data loss in spite of timing variations between different clock signals during transmission of data bits. Each FIFO also includes a valid bit for each data bit to identify the extents of transferred packets.
TL;DR: High-speed underwater optical wireless transmission over 2.5 m distance is experimentally proved, using different bit rates and modulation schemes, and in all the experimental conditions the authors achieve error free transmission.
Abstract: We experimentally prove high-speed underwater optical wireless transmission over 2.5 m distance, using different bit rates and modulation schemes. The system uses two low-cost Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) arrays as optical transmitter and an avalanche photodiode module as receiver. The measurements are taken using an outdoor water tank having 3.3 m diameter, where two waterproof boxes containing the transmitter and the receiver are fixed underwater at the inner borders. We test 6.25 Mbit/s with Manchester coding, 12.5 Mbit/s with NRZ 8b/10b coding and 58 Mbit/s with Discrete Multitone modulation. Bit Error Rate measurements are collected over several hours under typical summer sunlight illumination conditions. In all the experimental conditions we achieve error free transmission.
TL;DR: In this paper, the transponder responds to different RF signal strengths and commands from the transceiver to select whether it will store or transmit data, which is exchanged between the two devices using Manchester encoding.
Abstract: A system for indenitfying objects, such as workpieces on an assembly line, includes a transponder for attaching to an object and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver. The transceiver can program the transponder with data about the specific object and interrogate the transponder to obtain previously programmed data. The transponder responds to different RF signal strengths and commands from the transceiver to select whether it will store or transmit data. Data is exchanged between the two devices using Manchester encoding. The transceiver processes the encoded data signal from the transponder by measuring and storing the intervals between level transitions in the signal. The stored intervals are then processed in non-real time to recover the data.
TL;DR: Compared with the prior detectors for ambient backscatter communications, the proposed detectors have the advantages of achieving superior BER performance with lower communication delay and analytical bit-error-rate expressions are characterized.
Abstract: Ambient backscatter communication is a newly emerged paradigm, which utilizes the ambient radio frequency signal as the carrier to reduce the system battery requirement, and is regarded as a promising solution for enabling large-scale deployment of future Internet of Things networks. The key issue of ambient backscatter communication systems is how to perform reliable detection. In this paper, we propose novel encoding methods at the information tag and devise the corresponding symbol detection methods at the reader. In particular, Manchester coding and differential Manchester coding are adopted at the information tag, and the corresponding semi-coherent Manchester (SeCoMC) and non-coherent Manchester (NoCoMC) detectors are developed. In addition, analytical bit-error-rate (BER) expressions are characterized for both detectors assuming either complex Gaussian or unknown deterministic ambient signal. Simulation results show that the BER performance of unknown deterministic ambient signal is better, and the SeCoMC detector outperforms the NoCoMC detector. Finally, compared with the prior detectors for ambient backscatter communications, the proposed detectors have the advantages of achieving superior BER performance with lower communication delay.

Abstract: The present invention provides a network controller that directs communications with a variety of remote devices via a common bus. The network controller includes a transmitter for transmitting messages via the common bus, and a receiver for receiving messages from the common bus. Additionally, the network controller includes a clock for providing clock signals to both the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter and receiver are selected such that the network controller is capable of selectively operating in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. In operation, the network controller is configured in either a Manchester encoding or a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) protocol. The transmitter transmits messages comprising a command and an address of at least one remote device. In one embodiment, the transmitter simultaneously transmits messages to a plurality of remote devices in accordance with a group address comprised of a multiple bits with each bit associated with a respective group.
