    摘要: A signal for exception processing is provided. The signal includes a first sequence of PCM codewords. Each PCM codeword in the sequence has a magnitude corresponding to a maximum point within an active constellation. The signal further includes a timing mark following the first sequence. In addition, a client device is provided. The client device includes a receiver and a detector coupled to the receiver. The receiver is coupled to an analog subscriber loop and has a decision feedback equalizer. The receiver provides a decision corresponding to data sent by a digital data source. The detector monitors the decision of the receiver to determine when an exception has been requested by the digital data source. Further, a method of requesting a change in a mode of operation of a client device when the client device is operating in a data mode is provided. The data mode includes receiving signal points selected from an active constellation and deciding which points have been received to thereby recover data. The method includes the step of transmitting, to the client device, a predetermined sequence of points from the active constellation. Each of the points in the predetermined sequence has the same index relative to a maximum point within the active constellation. The method further includes the steps of receiving the transmitted sequence, and detecting the predetermined sequence.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods of compensating for distortions introduced in communication signals received over a telephone network. An adaptive linear equalizer (LE) pre-filter is used for filtering incoming sampled communication signals received via the telephone network transmission medium. An adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is used in conjunction with the LE to provide error filtering as a hybrid equalizer system to determine which of a plurality of communication states of the sampled communication signals as an accurate estimate of the originally transmitted signals over the transmission medium, responsive to the filtered communication signals from the LE. An error signal is generated relative to the difference between the determined states of the decision mechanism of the DFE and the filtered communication signals from the LE. Further, an error filter provides a filtered output of the generated error signal, wherein the error filter has an error filter characteristic defined in accordance with the known telephone network transmission medium. The LE for the received sampled communication signals has a LE pre-filter characteristic defined in accordance with the filtered output of the error filter, using a recursive least-mean-square (LMS) technique.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of generating a signal that may be used to determine the characteristic response of a communication channel that utilizes the public Digital Telephone Network (DTN). The channel includes the DTN, which may have Network Digital Attenuators (NDA) and/or Robbed Bit Signalling (RBS), and a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), (also known as a codec), as well as the analog characteristics of the local loop, typically a twisted pair of copper wires. The present invention provides a method and apparatus to determine the optimal sampling instant of the received data stream. The present invention provides a probing signal that is well-suited for use in determining the channel's response to a known sequence of PCM codes used as data symbols. This is especially useful in so-called PCM modulation schemes that utilize the DTN, where knowledge of network and DAC distortion predicates the selection of available PCM codes used to represent data. This information is also useful when the data receiver, or PCM modem, makes determinations of which codes were actually sent.
