    Abstract: Techniques for detecting zero rate frames in a received data transmission. A modulated signal is received and demodulated in accordance with a particular demodulation format to generate demodulated symbols. The demodulated symbols are partitioned into a number of received frames. For each received frame, a quality metric is computed and compared against a threshold value. The threshold value is selected based, in part, on the quality metrics of received frames. Based on the comparison result, the received frame is indicated as being either transmitted and received in error (i.e., erased or bad) or not transmitted at all (i.e., zero rate or empty). The quality metric can relate to an energy of a received frame, a distance between a received frame and a codeword corresponding to the received frame, or other metrics. The threshold value can be selected based on the quality metrics computed for decoded frames or received frames identified as good, and can be dynamically adjusted based on current information available at the receiver. The method is advantageously used in a CDMA communications system.

    Abstract: A rate adjustment device allowing the burden on a decoder to be reduced when decoding a variable-rate channel is disclosed. After despreadirg a received baseband signal based on a predetermined symbol rate to produce rate-indicating data and a sequence of received correlation values, a received symbol rate is compared to the maximum symbol rate and, when the received symbol rate is lower than the maximum symbol rate, it is determined whether a receive quality is satisfactory. When the receive quality is satisfactory, at least one received correlation value is selected from the received correlation values and is used to generate a correlation value matching the received symbol rate.

    Abstract: A digital communication system is disclosed. A transmitter combines a digitized signal into a digital data stream with variable data rate and transmits it to a receiver. The receiver decodes the received signal with an actually transmitted data rate. For this reason, the receiver has to estimate the coding data rate of the received signal. The receiver decodes the received signal at one decoding rate, which is evaluated whether the decoding rate is correct or not. Such evaluation is achieved by, for example, measuring S/N ratio. According to such estimation the receiver estimates the actual transmitted data rate.

    Abstract: In a synchronous fixed frame boundary system with variable data rates, a transmitter inserts into a current frame an indication of the data rate of the next frame. After the first frame is received and processed at a receiver, the data rates of subsequent frames are known before processing, thereby reducing processing load. Furthermore, because the rate indication is inserted into the frame to be error protected along with the rest of the frame information, reliability is high, while additional data overhead and complexity are very low. As an example, North American code division multiple access digital cellular telephone systems utilize variable data rate transmissions. As a station modem (SM) assembles a current frame for convolutional encoding and further processing, the SM inserts a rate indication for the subsequent frame in accordance with information from a vocoder and CPU of the appropriate data rate for the subsequent frame. On the receiving end, rather than needing to decode multiple times to determine the appropriate data rate for every frame, the receiving SM discovers the rate of each frame subsequent to the first frame by analyzing the information contained in the immediately preceding frame. The rate determination process also includes a verification method based upon a frame quality indicator analysis and a symbol error rate analysis to ensure accurate data rate determination.
