摘要： Packets of real-time information are sent with a source rate greater than zero kilobits per second, and a time or path or combined time/path diversity rate initially being zero kilobits per second. This results in a quality of service QoS, optionally measured at the sender or the receiver. When the QoS is on an unacceptable side of a threshold of acceptability, the sender sends diversity packets at an increased rate. Increasing the diversity rate while either reducing or maintaining the overall transmission rate is new. CELP-based multiple-description data partitioning sends the base or important information plus a subset of fixed excitation in one packet and sends the base or important information plus the complementary subset of fixed excitation in another packet. Reconstruction produces acceptable quality when only one of the two packets is received and better quality when both packets are received. Reconstruction provides for single and multiple lost packets.

摘要： A process (111,101) of sending packets of real-time information at a sender (311) includes steps of initially generating at the sender the packets of real-time information with a source rate (s11) greater than zero kilobits per second, and a time or path or combined time/path diversity rate (d11), the amount of diversity (d11) initially being at least zero kilobits per second. The process sends the packets, thereby resulting in a quality of service QoS, and optionally obtains at the sender (311) a measure of the QoS. Rate/diversity adaptation decision may be performed at receiver (361′) instead. Another step compares the QoS with a threshold of acceptability (Th1), and when the QoS is on an unacceptable side of said threshold (Th1) increases the diversity rate (d11 to d22) and sends not only additional ones of the packets of real-time information but also sends diversity packets at the diversity rate as increased (d22). Increasing the diversity rate (d11 to d22) while either reducing or keeping unchanged the overall transmission rate (sij+dij) is an important new improvement in even solely-time-diversity embodiments. In another form of the invention a single-chip integrated circuit includes a processor circuit (1511), and a rate-and-diversity control (1561). Here again, the diversity is contemplated to be time diversity, path diversity, and combined time/path diversity in various embodiments. Other embodiments disclosed encompass other processes, improved packets and packet ensembles, integrated circuits, chipsets, computer add-in cards, information storage articles, systems, computers, gateways, routers, cellular telephone handsets, wireless base stations, appliances, and packet networks, and other forms as claimed.

摘要： An improved method of providing a pitch shifted or frequency transformed signal includes frequency scaling the original signal (12) and generating a desired spectrum envelope of the frequency transformed signal, As(z) by LPC analysis of the original signal (11). Further the method includes producing an approximation of the spectrum envelope of the frequency scaled signal As(z, &bgr;) by performing LPC analysis on the original signal (11), obtaining LSFs (13), scaling (15) and transforming the scaled LSFs back to LPC (17). The spectrum envelope of the frequency scaled signal is whitened or flattened by the approximation of the spectrum of the frequency scaled signal and the desired spectrum envelope is added at filter (19) where the transfer characteristics of the filter is A s ⁡ ( z , β ) A s ⁡ ( z ) .

摘要： A new signal quantization scheme is proposed which reduces fluctuation of the output signal by a signal quantizer (10) providing a quantized output signal and multiplying (18) said input signal X by a factor (1-w.sub.1) and finding a difference signal .DELTA..sub.in (11) between both the input signal and the previous input signal and multiplying (16) that by a weighting factor w.sub.2 from a control (13). The previous quantizer output signal Q.sub.prev is summed (17) with the weighted difference signal .DELTA..sub.in w.sub.2 and the sum is weighted by a weighting factor w.sub.1 at a multiplier (19) to yield w.sub.1 (Q.sub.prev +w.sub.2 .DELTA..sub.in). This signal is then summed at an adder (21) and applied to the quantizer (10) so that the quantizer is forced to match the fluctuation in the input signal as well as the signal itself. When applied to speech encoding algorithms such as the North American digital cellular telephone standard VSELP, the new quantizer results in more natural sounding background noise.
