摘要:
A device and method for precoding a sequence of analog levels transmitted over an analog channel to a quantization device, wherein the analog channel modifies the transmitted analog levels, including: a mapping device for mapping data bits to be transmitted to a sequence of equivalence classes, wherein each equivalence class contains one or more constellation points; a constellation point selector interconnected to the mapping device which selects a constellation point in each equivalence class to represent the data bits to be transmitted and which transmits a level that produces the selected constellation point at an input to the quantization device; and a filter device, operably coupled to the constellation point selector, which receives at its input previously transmitted levels and provides its output to the constellation point selector; wherein the filter device has a filter response which is based on the previously transmitted levels and a target response, and the target response is adapted using an analog channel error signal, the selected constellation point at an input to the quantization device.

Data packets are received at a communications node. Each of the received data packets is associated with one of a set of different service classes. Packets corresponding to the received data packets are transmitted to recipients. The order in which the data packets are transmitted is controlled based on the transmission rate and the service class of the packets.

A device and method for preceding data signals for pulse code modulation (PCM) transmission includes a transmitter for transmitting a sequence of analog levels over an analog channel to a quantization device, wherein the analog channel modifies the transmitted analog levels, the transmitter comprising: a mapping device for mapping data bits to be transmitted to a sequence of equivalence classes, wherein each equivalence class contains one or more constellation points; and a constellation point selector interconnected to the mapping device which selects a constellation point in each equivalence class to represent the data bits to be transmitted and which transmits an analog level that produces the selected constellation point at an input to the quantization device.
摘要:
A system and device for, and method of, detecting, characterizing, and mitigating deterministic distortion in a communication system. An exemplary communication system includes a digital adaptor for sending octets on to a backbone of a PSTN, which then sends, and potentially distorts the octets, received by a line interface. The line interface converts the octets to baseband signals received by an analog adaptor. Several mechanisms and methods are described in which the analog and digital adaptor cooperate to detect the presence of distortion, in particular, robbed bit signaling, on the communication system. The characterization may then be used to mitigate the effects of the distortion. Several receive constellations are provided, each constructed in view of the transmit constellation and in view of the manner in which the deterministic distortion will distort signals transmitted over the system. The receive constellations differ from the transmit constellation. The analog adaptor uses an appropriate receive constellation based on the type of distortion expected at a given interval. The digital adaptor may similarly include several constellation in view of the same considerations.

A transmitter for transmitting a sequence of octets over a digital network which digital network converts the octets into a sequence of levels for transmission over an analog channel to a receiver, the levels producing an analog signal having a predefined spectral shape, the transmitter including: a mapping device which receives at its input groups of data bits to be transmitted and outputs for each group an equivalence class of one or more levels, wherein at least one equivalence class contains more than one level; a level selector, operably coupled to the mapping device, for selecting the level in the equivalence class to represent the group of data bits to be transmitted; a filter device, operably coupled to the level selector and having a filter response corresponding to the predefined spectral shape, which receives at its input previously selected levels and provides its output to the level selector, wherein the level selector selects the level to be transmitted based on the output of the filter device; and an octet converter, operably coupled to the level selector, which receives the selected level at its input and transmits over the digital network an octet corresponding to the selected level to produce the analog signal having the predefined spectral shape when the transmitted octets are converted to levels in the digital network.

In a cell of a cellular wireless communication system, the SIR of at least one user in a sector of the cell is altered by temporarily reducing transmissions on a forward link in at least one other sector of the cell or a sector in another cell in accordance with a pattern.

In a radio access network, multicast packets are delivered each identified by a multicast network layer address representing a multicast group of access terminals. The multicast packets are delivered in one or more air link frames using a common control channel that is shared among access terminals in a sector. Each airlink frame carries a multicast air link address that identifies the multicast group of terminals.
