摘要： Branchwood signals are generated by a tailbiting convolutional coder. The receiver stores received branchword signals in memory such that the branchword signals are accessible in a logically circular sequence. The receiver then performs Viterbi updates on the logically circular sequence of branchwords, the sequence comprising more than N branchwords. The receiver stops performing Viterbi updates in response to an indication that update decisions have become repetitive. A set of generated decision vectors resulting from the Viterbi updates is then modified in response to the indication. A decoded signal is generated by performing a Viterbi traceback procedure using the modified set of decision vectors. The indication that Viterbi update decisions have become repetitive may be provided by a predetermined fixed number of Viterbi updates, the number reflecting an estimate of when said update decisions will likely become repetitive. The indication may also be provided by a comparison of decision vectors generated by Viterbi updates on the same stored branchword to determine whether the vectors are substantially equal. Or, the indication may be provided by a comparison of a pair of path metric vectors generated by Viterbi updates on the same stored branchword to determine whether differences between metric signals of one or more respective trellis state pairs of the path metric vectors are substantially equal. Modification of the set of generated decision vectors may include replacing a one or more decision vectors of the set with one or more later-determined decision vectors of the set.

摘要： A method and system for managing requests in a hold queue and the responses thereto are described. By providing a management system for handling requests in a call queue, a requesting party may be free to perform other tasks while waiting for a response. In addition, the management system may modify request priority independently of a party receiving the request. The method and system may further facilitate the entry of request related information by implementing an information database. The flexibility of a receiving party in responding to a request may also be enhanced through a greater selection of response options. The management system and method may further provide automatic backup and secondary options if a receiving party's first option is unfeasible.

摘要： A system to personalize a display of content locally recorded at a media device is described herein. A segment having an associated segment identifier is extracted from a broadcast event recorded at the remote media device. Each segment identifier is searched for a match with the user profile data to generate a personalized segment list. Locator code data is associated with each segment of the personalized segment list. The locator code data is transmitted to the media device to be used to extract an image to present the personalized segment list.

摘要： In a communications system, a convolutional encoder encodes data from a data source and a modified Viterbi decoder decodes the encoded data after the encoded dated passes through an error producing channel. The decoder calculates selected metric increments, known as kernel metric increments, for half the states, and selects survivor metrics for all states.
