Abstract From the Canadian patent

A digital data communication system for transmitting data over a transmission channel. The system is capable of estimating a channel impulse response with high reliability even when the channel is time-varying and suffers from intersymbol interference. Even when the variation on the channel is rapid the system reduces the influence of demodulation delay particular to a maximum likelihood sequence estimator and thereby realizes highly reliable data transmission.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 28, 1991 and granted September 10, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 28, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 28, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
