Apparatus and method for generating a power signal for a power system from signals genenrated by a communication device
First Claim
1. A method of generating a power signal for a power system from signals generated by a communications device, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) determining error signals from the signals generated by the communications device;
b) determining, as a function of said error signals, whether said communications device is operating within an allowable error bandwidth of the power system; and
c) when the communications device is operating within the allowable error bandwidth, generating the power signal from the signals generated by the communications device and when the communications device is not operating within the allowable error bandwidth, generating the power signal from a guard signal where the power system ignores the power signal when it is generated from a guard signal.

Abstract
Method and System for providing a gateway between a communications device and data receiving device which corrects a data signal produced by the communications device by reducing the data errors produced by the communications device by replacing the data signal with a guard signal when the error exceeds a bandwidth and by controlling the communications device so that it provides predictable propagation delays by resetting an adaptive component of the communications device to perform a major convergence and by setting the coefficients used by the adaptive component to predetermined initial values.
