    摘要: A multi-carrier communication system (400) groups subchannels (802) into different quality-of-signal (QoS) regions (804). An unconstrained optimization process (1200) is performed independently for the subchannels (802) of the different QoS regions (804) to allocate bit rates and power to the individual subchannels (802) so that the indicated QoS will result. Coders (504, 508, 512, 516, 1700) partition and error-correction encode source information using encoding schemes matched to the different QoS regions (804). A set (1100) of only a few directed QoS partition vectors (1102) direct the unconstrained optimization process (1200) to attempt bit-rate and power allocations on only a few promising groupings of subchannels (802) and QoS regions (804). An iterative process may take place between bit-rate and power allocation on one side and source information coding on the other for different directed QoS partition vectors (1102) to identify the best solution. A coder (1700) may use a dual allocation process (1800) to iteratively combine a rate-allocation process (1724) with a QoS-region-allocation process (1726) to specify codebooks (1720) for use by a codebook quantizer (1718).

    摘要: A method (20) of orthogonal frequency-division multiplex (OFDM) communication via a plurality of subchannels (30) within a noncontiguous wideband channel (24) is provided. The method (20) determines an SNR for each of the subchannels (30). The method (20) then designates a subchannel (30) as clear (93) when its SNR is greater than a least-SNR threshold (70), as impeded (95) when its SNR is less than the least-SNR threshold and greater than an SNR-evaluation threshold, and as obstructed (111) when its SNR is less than both the least-SNR and the SNR-evaluation thresholds. The method (20) then transmits OFDM data (34) so that each of the clear subchannels receives the OFDM data (34) at a maximum subchannel signal level (40), each of the impeded subchannels receives the OFDM data (34) at an intermediate subchannel signal level (42), and each of the obstructed subchannels receives the OFDM data (34) at zero subchannel signal level (44).

    摘要: A vocoder (10) includes a digital signal processor (18) and a vector quantizer (28) implemented in hardware external to the digital signal processor (18). The vector quantizer (28) includes an analysis codebook (32) having a multitude of scalar quantized code vectors (60). A frame of digitized speech is translated into speech parameters, which are then scalar quantized to form a source vector. This scalar quantized source vector is then vector quantized in the vector quantizer (28) prior to transmission into a communication channel (22). A separate synthesis codebook (30) is used in decompressing vocoded speech received from the communication channel (22).

    摘要: A vocoder device and corresponding method characterizes and reconstructs speech excitation. An excitation analysis portion performs a cyclic excitation transformation process on a target excitation segment by rotating a peak amplitude to a beginning buffer location. The excitation phase representation is dealiased using multiple dealiasing passes based on the phase slope variance. Both primary and secondary excitation components are characterized, where the secondary excitation is characterized based on a computation of the error between the characterized primary excitation and the original excitation. Alternatively, an excitation pulse compression filter is applied to the target, resulting in a symmetric target. The symmetric target is characterized by normalizing half the symmetric target. The synthesis portion performs reconstruction and synthesis of the characterized excitation based on the characterization method employed by the analysis portion.

    摘要: A PLL-type frequency synthesizer (10) in which a loop filter (24) state is recorded during an earlier hop to a given frequency then assigned back to the loop filter (24) during a subsequent hop to the same frequency is disclosed. The state is recorded through an A/D converter (48) and assigned through a D/A converter (60). Offset and linearity error is compensated in a compensation circuit (54) so that the state subsequently assigned to the loop filter (24) accurately matches the state that was previously measured for recording. Reference frequency and output signal dividers (16, 40) are both immediately initialized at a hop boundary (82) so that the signals compared by a phase comparator (20) are forced into a phase-matched condition.

    摘要: System efficiently communicates a perceptually encoded speech spectrum signal from a transmitter to a receiver. The transmitter includes a speech analyzer which accepts a speech signal input and generates a parameterized speech signal. The transmitter also includes a vector quantizer for generating the perceptually encoded speech spectrum signal from the parameterized speech signal. The receiver decodes the perceptually encoded speech spectrum signal to produce decoded spectral parameters to further produce a synthetic speech output. The vector quantizer performs a method for partitioning a vector quantizer (VQ) codebook to produce perceptually organized sub-codebooks. The vector quantizer performs a second method for quantizing a vector based on the perceptually organized sub-codebooks. The second method identifies a vector, from one of the perceptually organized sub-codebooks, to perceptually model the speech signal input.
