Abstract:
Techniques to reduce transmit power required for transmission of messages from an access terminal to reduce interference to transmissions from other access terminals. In one aspect, messages to be transmitted are defined and/or coded such that they may be detected at different received signal qualities. The codewords may be defined having different distances to their nearest codewords. In another aspect, messages to be transmitted are assigned to different points in a signal constellation, with the points being located such that they may be received at different signal qualities. Codewords that may be received at a lower signal quality may be assigned to messages more likely to be transmitted at higher transmit power levels (e.g., when the access terminal is located further away) or to more frequently transmitted messages.
Abstract:
A system for displaying performance characteristics of a circuit in a telecommunications network. The system is adapted for use with a CDMA telecommunications network and includes a Markov call testing system for performance testing the telecommunications circuit. A computer stores the results of the performance test. Software running on the computer determines a subset of the results sufficient to reflect the performance of the telecommunications circuit. A monitor on the computer displays information corresponding to the subset. In the illustrative embodiment, the system further includes a method for determining if one or more receive antennas in the telecommunications network are balanced. The telecommunications circuit corresponds to a cell site modem chip in a base station. The subset includes a number of finger signal peaks. The number is determined by calculations performed on a scan set to determine a floor above which signal peaks are chosen for inclusion in the subset. In the specific embodiment, the subset includes the eight highest signal peaks of a scan set. The scan set corresponds to a set of signal peaks as is provided by a temporal analyzer. In the illustrative embodiment, the display shows finger signal peak data resulting from Markov call testing of a cell site modem chip having one or more fingers. A first field in the display depicts a subset of signal peaks that includes n of the highest signal peaks. A second field illustrates an operational state for each of the fingers.
Abstract:
A voice recognition system applies speaker-dependent modification functions to acoustic feature vectors prior to voice recognition pattern matching against a speaker-independent acoustic model. An adaptation engine matches a set of acoustic feature vectors X with an adaptation model to select a speaker-dependent feature vector modification function f( ), which is then applied to X to form a modified set of acoustic feature vectors f(X). Voice recognition is then performed by correlating the modified acoustic feature vectors f(X) with a speaker-independent acoustic model.
