Methods and apparatuses for signal line termination with minimum current flowing through a termination node. In one embodiment, a voltage regulator is connected between a termination node and a system potential reference plane, which is typically system ground or Vss, to regulate a terminating potential, which can be used as a reference potential for the input buffers to receive the signals. The voltage regulator continuously adjusts the reference potential that will be used by the signal line input buffers to minimize the current flow into and out of the termination node of the signal lines.

A method for hard-decision channel decoding of tail-biting convolutional codes includes the step of receiving from a channel an input bit stream encoded by a tail-biting convolutional channel encoder. The encoder includes a number of memory elements and a rate. The input bit stream includes a series of symbols; each symbol includes a number of bits; the number of bits is related to the rate of the encoder. The method further includes the step of assuming a probability for each possible initial state of the encoder. The method further includes the step of decoding each symbol of the input bit stream using majority logic, with reference to a trellis structure corresponding to the encoder. The trellis structure represents: a number of states related to the number of memory elements of the encoder; a plurality of transitional branches; and a number of stages related to the number of symbols in the input bit stream.

Decoding signals represented by a trellis of block length N divided into windows of length L includes a step of decoding a backward recursion from a point P that is after the end of a window back to the end of the window. P is chosen at a sufficient distance from the end of the window such that backward recursion determines a known state metric at the end of the window. A next step includes decoding the window using backward recursion from the known state at the end of the window back to the beginning of the window to define a set of known backward recursion state metrics which are stored. A next step includes decoding using forward recursion starting from a known state at the beginning of the window and moving forward. A next step includes calculating a soft output at each stage of the forward recursion using the stored backward recursion state metrics, and branch metrics at each stage, and outputting the soft output for that stage.

Frames comprise odd fields and even fields. The frame sync segments of the odd fields contains a current map specifying the location of data in frames, a next map specifying the location of data in a future frame, and a frame count designating the future frame. The frame sync segments of the even field may contain the same information. Alternatively, the frame sync segments of the odd fields contain the current map and part of the frame count, and the frame sync segments of the corresponding even fields contain the next map and the rest of the frame count. A receiver uses the map and frame count information to find data in the fields of received frames.

A mobile terminal control system using a digital signature. The system including a server for preparing a command message for a relevant mobile terminal according to mobile terminal status information set by a user, adding a digital signature to the prepared command message, and transmitting the resultant message. The system further includes a mobile terminal for authenticating the command message transmitted from the server and performing operations of power-off, log-on and log-off of the mobile terminal according to the authenticated command message. The server prepares a command message according to mobile terminal status information set by a user and transmits the prepared command message to a mobile terminal and the mobile terminal authenticates the transmitted command message. The mobile terminal can be controlled only through the authenticated message.

Decoding signals represented by a trellis of block length N divided into windows of length L includes a step of decoding a forward recursion from a point P1 that is before the beginning of a window up to the beginning of the window and decoding a backward recursion from a point P2 that is after the end of a window back to the end of the window to define known states at the beginning and end of the window. A next step includes decoding the window using backward recursion from the known state at the end of the window back to the beginning of the window to define a set of backward recursion state metrics. A next step includes decoding using forward recursion starting from a known state at the beginning of the window and moving forward to the end of the window to define a set of forward recursion state metrics. A next step includes calculating a soft output at each stage of the window using the forward and backward recursion state metrics, and branch metrics at each stage, and outputting the soft output for that stage.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for data processing particularly useful in combining convolutions of the spreading code, scrambling code and channel response in order to construct a system transmission coefficient matrix, while maintaining the same circuit size and execution time relative to performing each convolution separately. One register for processing real channel response values and a second register for processing imaginary channel response values, are used for moving channel responses through the convolution. In place of multipliers, an optimized minimum number of adders connected in a pyramid configuration are used to perform the necessary multiplication of the codes, for simplicity of construction. By including the channel code transformation from binary representation to complex representation as part of the overall method, unnecessary adders are eliminated from the apparatus.

An apparatus and method for generating an initial puncturing matrix from which a first sub-code is produced in a communication system is provided. The apparatus includes a turbo encoder for generating information symbols and first and second parity symbols for the input of an information bit stream and a sub-code generator for generating sub-codes from the information symbols and the first and second parity symbols using puncturing matrices. The method comprises the steps of selecting as many information symbols as a number of columns in the initial puncturing matrix from the information symbols output from the turbo encoder, if a difference between the number Ns of selected symbols in the initial puncturing matrix and the number of the columns in the initial puncturing matrix is equal to or greater than a number of component encoders in the turbo encoder and selecting as many first and second parity symbols as the difference.

A bit error position is estimated. The estimation method includes generating data indicative of a substantial number of bit error locations in data frames. The generation of the data includes re-encoding decoded bit stream, mapping the bit stream to a first set of symbols, and determining a soft decision distance between a second set of symbols received through a data transmission channel and the first set of symbols. The generated data is then used to estimate the bit error locations. The estimation process includes capturing metric data for each bit in the data frame and obtaining derivative of the metric data. The derivative may be filtered for further processing. Error position estimation criteria may then be applied to estimate the bit error positions.
