摘要:
An input digital signal is encoded by subjecting it to a first convolutional coding step followed by an interleaving step and a second convolutional coding step. The serial concatenated convolutional coded signal thus obtained is then subjected to modulation by means of a two-dimensional modulation scheme such as M-PSK or M-QAM. The corresponding decoding process involves an iterative decoding algorithm based on cascaded logarithmic soft-input soft-output processing steps.

A method for designing a new prunable S-random interleaver class to be used as a constituent part of turbo codes. With respect to previously proposed solutions the method has the advantage of being prunable to different block sizes while exhibiting at the same time, for any considered block size, performance comparable with the optimized “ad hoc” S-random interleavers. Another advantage is that, as for every S-random interleaver, the design rules are independent of the constituent codes and of the puncturing rate applied to the turbo code. Therefore, these interleavers potentially can find applications in any turbo code scheme that requires interleaver size flexibility and code rate versatility, thanks to the advantage of requiring a single law storage (i e., one ROM storage instead of several ROMs) from which all the others are obtained by pruning, without compromising the overall error rate performance.
摘要:
A video image decoder architecture for implementing a processing algorithm in the 40-ms mode on high-resolution TV sets, of a kind adapted to handle TV signals being received on respective transmission channels (J,L), which comprises a video signal demultiplexer receiving the transmission channels (J,L); and respective processing blocks for separately handling the signals from each of the channels (J,L). Each processing block includes a video image format converter, a local memory connected to an output of the converter, and at least one median filter and one systolic filter cascade connected after the memory for restoring, by interpolation, signal samples related to successive lines of the video image. A summing node adds the outputs from each processing block so as to obtain a time mean between restored samples of the channels (J,L). This architecture drastically reduces the number of memories required for processing the restored algorithm, as well as reducing overall silicon area requirements for the system. Accordingly, the whole 40-millisecond processing portion may be integrated into a single chip.
摘要:
An adaptive method for suppressing video signal echoes in television equalizers including digital filters having coefficients which are updated in an adaptive and iterative manner using a modified LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithm until the difference, or output error, between a target output signal, called the reference signal, and an outgoing signal from the equalizer is gradually reduced. The method includes the steps of:--applying a "combing" technique to an original filter having K*N coefficients in order to select K comb filters having N coefficients each;--applying said LMS algorithm, with a variable convergence factor to each individual comb filter for a predetermined number of iterations;--gathering the resultant configurations of the comb filter coefficients and selecting a subfilter with N largest modulo coefficients therefrom;--updating the values of said N coefficients again by reiterating the LMS algorithm with variable convergence factor to said subfilter for a limited number of iterations;--clearing all the coefficients with a lower modulo value than a predetermined threshold value;--selecting a group of F coefficients by a slotting operation across those of said coefficients which have a cluster value: and--updating the value of said group of F coefficients, by reiterating the LMS algorithm with variable convergence factor, until the output error becomes smaller than a predetermined value.
