Abstract:
In a CDMA wireless communication system (200) a dispatch call can be established between two CDMA mobile stations (202, 226), or between other mobile stations and the CDMA mobile station, or between a CDMA mobile station and a computer(236) located outside of the wireless system. To reduce the delay normally association with call set up in a CDMA system, a dispatch processing network (128, 144) is provided in addition to a telephony switch (118). Dispatch calls and call set up requests are routed to the dispatch processing network from the radio access network (110) which includes base stations (204, 206). Once a dispatch call request is made, while the dispatch processing network begins setting up a traffic channel for the originating mobile communication device, the target is also paged, and upon responding, set up on a traffic channel. The concurrence of establishing radio links with the target and originating communication devices substantially reduces dispatch call set up time.
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the need for a device and method of frame reconstruction among soft handoff legs that improves the reliability of received information without reducing RF capacity. Given received frames from each leg of a soft handoff (300-303) a reconstructed frame (304) is produced. Subframes (e.g., 362) with passing inner frame quality indicators (352) are selected for the reconstructed frame. For portions of the reconstructed frame (e.g., 324 and 344) that do not have corresponding portions in the leg frames with passing inner frame quality indicators, a bit-wise majority rule is applied to select values.
Abstract:
An improved non-linear processor used in echo cancellation eliminates a comfort noise source (214) and instead inputs a control signal (224) directly into a noise suppression system (403). The noise suppression system (403) uses the control signal (224) to inhibit the iterative update of the background noise estimate when the control signal (224) is active, which prevents any residual echo from biasing the noise estimate provided by the noise suppression system (403). Additionally, the control signal (224) is used by a gain calculator (533) within the noise suppression system (403) to attenuate each frequency band to the maximum allowable amount plus the current residual channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Depending on the implementation, the noise suppression system (403) models the background noise of either a user of the PSTN or a user of a mobile station.
Abstract:
An apparatus (18) and method (100) provide RLP data checking. The apparatus (10) includes a frame serialization stage (20) and a bad frame filter (22) that detects possible bad frames and reclassifies these bad frames as erasures. In this manner, bad frame data are not passed to the RLP layer (16), and unnecessary resetting and resynchronization steps are avoided.
Abstract:
A communication system implements detection of bad frames of information by utilizing multiple bit correction thresholds. Equipment used within the communication system adapts to different signaling environments by dynamically altering the bit correction threshold based on a history of the number of consecutive bad frames of information that have been previously erased and the number of bits corrected by a channel decoder (202). By implementing this dynamic bit correction threshold, sufficent bad frame indication (BFI) detection and receiver sensitivity can be obtained simultaneously, which results in an improved perceived audio quality to the end user.

aparelho e processo para processamento não-linear em um sistema de comunicações . um processador não-linear aperfeiçoado utilizado em cancelamento de eco elimina uma fonte de ruído de conforto (214) e em vez disso introduz um sinal de controle (224) diretamente em um sistema de supressão de ruído (403). o sistema de supressão de ruído (403) usa o sinal de controle (224) para inibir a atualização iterativa da estimativa de ruído de fundo quando o sinal de controle (224) está ativo, o que impede que qualquer eco residual influente a estimativa de ruído fornecido pelo sistema de supressão de ruído (403). além disso, o sinal de controle (224) é utilizado por um calculador de ganho (533) dentro do sistema de supressão de ruído (403) para atenuar cada faixa de frequência até o máximo permissível mais a razão entre sinal-ruído (snr) de canal residual atual. dependendo da implementação, o sistema de supressão de ruído (403) modela o ruído de fundo ou de um usuário do pstn ou de um usuário de uma estação móvel.
Abstract:
Upon receiving ( 101 ) a vocoded voice frame and detecting ( 102 ) that the received vocoded voice frame comprises an erased frame, one automatically replaces ( 103 ) the erased frame with a valid frame having at least one error condition. In a preferred approach this error condition is one that is known to cause a receiving target platform to invoke a corresponding erasure process with respect to the valid frame when received.
Abstract:
A typical radio frame (300) comprises A, B, and C vocoded bits (304). At the end of each frame (300) A and B bits (305) are inserted from a previous frame. Thus, each frame not only comprises A, B, and C bits (304) for that frame, but also comprises those A and B bits (305) originally transmitted in a prior frame. Thus, each frame comprises high and low priority vocoded bits (304) from the current vocoder frame, and those higher priority bits from a preceding frame (305). By placing an inner CRC (302, 303) around the most important bits of the vocoded frame, even though a frame is erased (e.g. its outer CRC (301) failed) it can still be verified that the most important bits in the vocoded frame are correct. Since the class B and C bits can tolerate some errors, the vocoded frame can then play out if its inner CRC passes.
