摘要:
An apparatus and method for concealing errors in digital data. An interpolator estimates a value of a sample of digital data from other samples of the digital data. The interpolator has an input for inputting the digital data and an output for outputting the estimated value of the sample of the digital data. A holding unit has an input for selectively receiving the sample of the digital data only when the sample is error free, and an output for outputting the error free sample. The input of the holding unit may be in parallel with the input of the interpolator. A selector selects between outputting the estimated value of the sample of the received digital data from an output of the interpolator and outputting the error free sample of the received digital data from an output of a holding unit based on at least one error indicator.

According to an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus are described for error detection for multi-stream communication. Under an embodiment of the invention, a method for producing an error word for a data stream comprises computing an intermediate error word for each of a plurality of data sub-streams, the data stream being equivalent to a concatenation of the plurality of data sub-streams; and combining the intermediate error words to produce the error word for the data stream.

A Viterbi decoder includes an ACS unit that performs state metric updates for every symbol cycle. State metric updates involve adding the state metrics corresponding to a likely input symbol to the respective branch matrix, comparing the results of the additions to determine which is smaller, and selecting the smaller result for the next state metric. The ACS unit includes two parallel adders followed by a parallel comparator that generates a multiplexer-select signal. The outputs of the parallel adders are input into a multiplexer and the multiplexer-select signal is input into the multiplexer for a decision.
摘要:
A technique for handling errors in a memory system. Specifically, a new dual mode ECC algorithm is provided to detect errors in X4 and X8 memory devices. Further, an XOR memory engine is provided to correct the errors detected in the dual mode ECC algorithm. Depending on the mode of operation of the dual mode ECC algorithm and the error type (single-bit or multi-bit), errors may be corrected using ECC techniques. When operating in a X8 mode, all errors, including single-bit errors are corrected by the XOR memory engine. If more than one single bit error is detected on a single transaction, one or more of the errors may be corrected using ECC techniques.

A method and apparatus of correcting a data signal sampled at a first rate to a data signal displayed on a video monitor at a second rate is claimed. A data signal is received at a first rate. The data signal is separated into data windows. The minimum and maximum values and positions of data points in data windows are identified relative to a reference, and displayed on a video monitor.

The invention relates to a method and device for performing channel simulation, the device comprising a set of channel simulation units (200 to 214) for simulating a radio channel, each unit comprising radio frequency parts (200A to 214A) and baseband parts (200B to 214B). In the solution of the invention, the baseband parts of several different units (200 to 214) are arranged to simulate the same channel.

Provided are a method, system, and an article of manufacture for preventing data loss. Modified data is stored in a volatile storage. The stored modified data is copied onto a non-volatile storage. A determination is made as to whether the non-volatile storage should be checked for errors. In certain implementations, on determining that the nonvolatile storage should be checked for errors the non-volatile storage is checked for errors. If on checking the non-volatile storage is found to have an error, an indication of the error is provided.

A communications system, having a combination Reed-Solomon encoder and a Turbo-Code encoder Data frame configuration which may be changed to accommodate embedded submarkers of known value are embedded in with the data order to aid synchronization in the receiver system, by providing strings of known symbols. The string of known symbols may be the same as the symbols within a training header that appears at the beginning of a data frame. Frame parameters may be tailored to individual users and may be controlled by information pertaining to receivers, such as bit error rate, of the receiver. Additional headers may be interspersed within the data in order to assist in receiver synchronization. Frames of data may be acquired quickly by a receiver by having a string of symbols representing the phase offset between successive header symbols in the header training sequence in order to determine the carrier offset. Phase lock to a signal may achieved after determining carrier offset in receivers by correlating successive symbols in successive headers. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
摘要:
Messages in a high reliability industrial control system are associated with safety addresses preventing errors caused by misdirected messages. The safety address, however, is not transmitted with the message, but instead only the data of the message and an error detecting code based on a combination of the data and the safety address is sent. At a receiving node, an expected safety address is concatenated to the data of the message and the transmitted error correcting code compared against this combination to confirm proper addressing of the message. Network capacity is thus improved.
