摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing data loss comprising a first computing step for computing an intermediate result for each redundancy information entity of a redundancy set by processing respectively associated data information entities of a given data set on at least two main diagonals of a parity check matrix representing an error correction coding scheme. The method further comprises a second computing step for computing the information content of the respective redundancy information entity dependent on the respective intermediate result.

A method and apparatus for identifying an unwanted short message service (SMS) message from SMS messages received by a cellular mobile communication system, which comprises at least a history database (HB) for storing a set (H) of the messages received by the cellular mobile communication system. The method includes the steps of: measuring a difference in an information content between a SMS message (m) received by the cellular mobile communication system and the set (H) of messages stored in the history database (HB), and marking the SMS message (m) as being an unwanted SMS message if the difference that is measured is less than or equal to a predefined threshold value.

Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling writing and reading of data in an array of A storage fields of a probe-based data storage device in which data is written to and read from the array of storage fields by a corresponding array of probes. One method provides error-tolerance by exploiting the inherent parallelism of the probe storage array. A user data block to be written to the A-field array is first coded to produce a plurality of C-byte codewords, such that r.C=k1.A where r is the number of codewords and k1 is an integer≧1. A sub-blocks of k1 bytes are produced from the codewords by selecting successive bytes of each sub-block cyclically from the r codewords. The A sub-blocks are then written via respective probes to the corresponding storage fields of the storage field array.

摘要:
Methods, modems and computer program products for detecting whether a remote modem is of a particular design type and for adjusting the communication configuration for a communication session based on a type of the remote modem. The modem type is recognized based on a knowledge that the modem design of certain manufacturers has a unique associated data pattern contained within the startup communication sequence which is not specified by the protocol but which can be demodulated and detected to thereby recognize that the remote modem is a particular manufacturer's design type. Based on knowledge of the characteristics of the remote modem design, various steps are taken which may improve performance of the communication connection in light of the particular modem design's characteristics. For example, a different Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) threshold may be used for falling back to V.34 communications when the remote modem design only supports up to 2 look ahead for spectrum shaping.

Modems, methods, and computer program products select a data rate based on error signals in a modem. In an illustrative embodiment, error signals representing the difference between an output of an equalizer and an output of a detector are accumulated and an average error value is computed therefrom. A signal to noise ratio is determined using the average error value. The signal to noise ratio is then used to select a data rate. In another illustrative embodiment, the mean squared error at the output of the equalizer is determined and then used, along with the probability of error in correctly detecting a symbol, to select a data rate. Incorrect decisions in detecting received data symbols can cause a catastrophic failure in a decision feedback equalizer used in a modem receiver as errors are repeatedly fed back causing the tap coefficients for the equalizer filters to be shifted from their normal operating values. By adjusting the data rate in accordance with the error signals generated in a modem receiver, the decision feedback equalizer can operate with greater stability as the data rate can be reduced in response to increased noise conditions.

Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) and PAD digital impairments in sets of Digital Impairment Learning (DIL) signals that are repeatedly transmitted from a server modem to a client modem during DIL intervals are identified by identifying a PAD level for the sets of DIL signals in the DIL intervals and then identifying an RBS type for individual sets of DIL signals based upon the PAD levels so identified. The PAD level may be identified using model DIL signals that correspond to PAD levels that are not subject to RBS. The RBS type may be identified using model DIL signals that correspond to multiple RBS types that are subject to the identified PAD level. More specifically, one of the DIL intervals that contains DIL signals that are not subject to RBS is identified. A PAD level for the DIL signals in the one of the DIL intervals so identified then is determined. The PAD level that was determined is applied to the DIL signals in remaining ones of the DIL intervals, to identify an RBS for the DIL signals in the remaining ones of the DIL intervals.
摘要:
Decision feedback equalizers having a stabilization capability, and methods and computer program products for stabilizing a decision feedback equalizer under severe error conditions use output samples from an equalizer to determine whether a severe error event has occurred in accordance with predefined criteria. If a severe error occurs, then a determination is made to evaluate whether the number of severe errors that have occurred has exceeded a threshold. If the threshold has been exceeded, then the coefficients for the filter(s) in the decision feedback equalizer are preserved in their current state. Severe errors can cause the equalizer filter coefficients to be pulled away from their normal operating values, which can result in several modulation cycles passing before the coefficients are restored. By preserving the equalizer filter coefficients under severe error conditions, the present invention prevents sharp or dramatic changes to the coefficient values from their steady state values allowing the decision feedback equalizer to recover more quickly from the errors.
