METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ENHANCING SIGNAL PROCESSING IN A SHARED MEDIUM NETWORK

摘要

A method implemented in a device is disclosed for networking through signals transmitted across a shared medium network. The method starts with monitoring for a first signal on a shared medium of the shared medium network. The first signal is processed after it is received and while the first signal is being processed, a set of one or more signals is received on the shared medium. Then a set of one or more amplitude increases is determined, where each amplitude increase is from an earlier received signal to a later received signal. The set of one or more amplitude increases is compared to a threshold value and at least partially in response to the comparison, the device discards one or more signals from the first signal and the set of one or more signals.

1. A method implemented at a device for networking through signals transmitted across a shared medium network, wherein a shared medium is coupled with a plurality of devices in the shared medium network, the method comprising:
monitoring for a first signal on the shared medium; processing the first signal received on the shared medium; receiving a set of one or more signals on the shared medium while processing the first signal; determining a set of one or more amplitude increases, wherein each amplitude increase is from an earlier received signal to a later received signal, and wherein each of the earlier received and the later received signals is one of the first and the set of one or more signals; comparing the set of one or more amplitude increases to a threshold value; and at least partially in response to the comparison (a first comparison), discarding one or more signals from the first signal and the set of one or more signals.
