Abstract:
A diversity receiver (300) has improved diversity weighting parameter estimation. The receiver different versions of a signal (101) having encoded data, combines the versions and decodes the data contained within the combination. The decoded data output is then re-encoded using a similar technique as that at a transmiter which transmitted the signal (101). The re-encoded data is then used to calculate a diversity weighting parameter which is used to modify a stored replica of each version. The modified versions are then combined and decoded to yield a more accurate estimate of the information contained within the signal (101) at diversity receiver (300).
Abstract:
A system and method for error correction in communication systems for transmission of digitized speech signals (Fig. 1). Sub-band coding is preferably applied to the input signal, and the sample information (102) and the side information (106, 108) provided. An error detection code (EDC) is applied to at least a portion of the side information (110) and an error correction code (ECC) is applied over the side information and the EDC (112). A second EDC is applied to the ECC (114). These information signals and error detection and correction codes are multiplexed (104), with the protected portion of the side information (PROT.) and the error correction code (ECC) separated by at least the sample information (Fig. 2). Speech signals are thus transmitted and reconstituted with improved quality with a minimum data rate required.
Abstract:
A dual mode radio communication unit (102, 104) for a digital communication system is provided having an error controller including an error detection encoder (111) and a forward error correction encoder (112) which encode an input information signal into an error protected data bit stream. In addition, the communication unit includes a mode selector which enables either the error detection encoder or the forward error correction encoder used with a particular mode of operation of the communication unit. Further, a corresponding dual mode radio communication unit is provided having an error controller for generating estimated information signal samples according to a group of algorithms consisting of either an error detection algorithm (261) or an error correction algorithm (202). In addition, the corresponding communication unit includes a mode selector (141) for receiving a signal according to a particular one of the group of algorithms which is associated with a particular mode of operation of the corresponding communication unit.
Abstract:
Un système de codage servant à la transmission et à la réception de signaux vocaux utilise des techniques d'échantillonnage, de filtrage (12) et de codage par bandes subdivisées (14) pour réduire la cadence des bits. Les niveaux d'énergie de chaque bande subdivisée sont déterminés par rapport à la bande présentant le niveau d'énergie maximum. Les informations relatives au niveau d'énergie sont codées et divisées en bits protégés et non protégés. On utilise uniquement les bits protégés pour déterminer l'affectation des bits des informations relatives aux échantillons vocaux, mais on utilise à la fois les bits protégés et les bits non protégés pour reconstituer les niveaux d'origine des bandes.

Abstract:
A signal weighting system for associating a confidence level with portions of a communication signal transmitted upon a multipath channel (44) and received by a receiver (76). A signal received by the receiver is equalized by an equalizer circuit (60), such as a maximum likelihood sequence estimator (116), and the equalized signal generated thereby is supplied to an adaptive filter (92) which synthesizes portions of the multipath channel. The signal received by the receiver is altered responsive to values of a filtered, equalized signal generated by the adaptive filter.
Abstract:
A system and method for correcting for Rayleigh interference of a signal tansmitted upon a multi-path channel. The system adaptively calculates values of channel gain and noise variance (178) of the channel upon which the signal is transmitted, and generates signals (182, 186) indicative of such calculations which are supplied to a decoder (188). The system may be utilized to form a portion of a coherent, or noncoherent receiver which receives encoded and differentially-encoded signals.
Abstract:
An encoding system for transmission and reception of speech signals and utilizing sampling, filtering (12) and sub-band coding (14) techniques for reduction of the bit rate. The energy levels of each sub-band are determined with respect to the band having the maximum energy level. The energy level information is encoded and divided into protected and unprotected bits. Only the protected bits are used for the determination of the bit allocation of the sample information, but both protected and unprotected bits are utilized in reconstituting the original levels of the bands.

In the network, only one of the first and second traffic channel protocols supports forward error correction coding.
