In data transmission wherein a transmitting modem transmits data signals to a receiving modem via a telephone line, the process of rotating, in the transmitting modem, the phase of the point of the constellation resulting from a group of data bits by a predetermined phase value, and then rotating, after a predetermined delay in the receiving modem, the phase of the estimated point resulting from the transformation of the analog signal by the opposite of said predetermined phase value, and calculating the mean-squared error between the rotated point and the estimated point of the constellation the error being used to determine whether the receiving modem is out of synchronization.
摘要:
Fully adaptive modem receiver for data-transmission systems which use trellis-coded modulation (TCM) and comprises an adaptive whitened-matched filter (WMF) and a reduced-state trellis decoder. The WMF consists of an adaptive linear equalizer with fractional-T spaced coefficients, and an adaptive linear predictor. The decoder combines the functions of equalization and TCM decoding. It employs combined intersymbol interference (ISI) and code states which exploit the set-partitioning structure of the underlying TCM code to provide full or reduced-state information about past ISI terms. The decoder branch metric cancels those ISI terms that are not, or are only partially, represented by the trellis states.

For adaptively adjusting the gain in a modem receiver comprising two amplifiers (15, 19), the following steps are performed: for a buffer (21), a Hilbert filter (23), and an equalizer (27), a respective energy indicator (P.sub.max.sup.2, u.sub.avg.sup.2, x.sub.avg.sup.2) is generated from the signal samples in the respective delay line. Each energy indicator is compared to an associataed upper target level (4L.sub.U, 3L.sub.P, 1.19 L.sub.X), and for the equalizer also to an associated lower target level (0.84 L.sub.X). If necessary, a gain correction factor (S) initially set to 1.0 is modified to obtain an overall gain that keeps delay line energies within desired targets. Target comparisons are made so that excess energy in the buffer or Hilbert filter result in a rapid gain reduction whereas average equilizer energy is used for slow adaptations. After a gain change, all acquired samples in the delay lines are also multiplied by the correction factor (S) so that none is lost during gain acquisition. Gain is distributed between the two amplifiers in a swapping operation without modifying the adjusted overall gain.
摘要:
A system and method for the wireless transmission of data packets in a code division multiple access communication system wherein one of the code division multiple access channels (PRCH) is used in a time-shared fashion for the transmission of the data packets from several transmitting stations (MSy, MSz) to a receiving station (BS). A request is sent from a transmitting station (MSy) to the corresponding receiving station (BS) of the communication system indicating the destination address to which data packet(s) are to be routed. Then, registering the transmitting station (MSy) and assigning an unique virtual connection identifier (VCIy) to it. Next, the transmitting station (MSy) is attached to the code division multiple access channel (PRCH) used for the transmission of data packets. Then, listening to the downlink of the code division multiple access channel (PRCH) used for the transmission of data packets until the corresponding receiving station (BS) broadcasts that it will be “idle” such that a random access to the code division multiple access channel (PRCH) used for the transmission of data packets is allowed in the next frame. Next, the transnmission power of the transmitting station (MSy) is ramped up during the next frame until a certain power level is reached. The data packet(s) and the virtual connection identifier (VCIy) are transmitted over the uplink of the code division multiple access channel (PRCH) used for the transmission of data packets to the receiving station (BS). The data packet(s) are routed to the destination address. Access to the code division multiple access channel (PRCH) used for the transmission of data packets is controller by a multiple access protocol based on carrier sensing and collision detection (CSMA/CD).
摘要:
In a trellis-coded modulation (TCM) transmission system, data bits are grouped into bit blocks (13), and each such bit block is encoded to select a fixed number w of symbols from a given symbol set (14). The symbols are subdivided into subsets, and each subset includes a few outer symbols and a greater number of inner symbols. Each symbol represents one particular transmission signal value. A first portion (17) of each bit block is separated into w bit subgroups, each of which is separately expanded by a convolutional encoder (20) to obtain a bit combination (19, 15) for specifying one of the symbol subsets. The remaining portion (21) of each bit block is expanded by a block coder (22) to obtain w bit subgroups (23), each being a bit combination (25, 16) for selecting one particular symbol out of a specified subset; outer symbols are selected less frequently than inner symbols. The arrangement allows to transmit a non-integer number of data bits per symbol, and further allows to operate with single-symbol TCM.
摘要:
A microprocessor having a single common data bus (17) to which the output (33) of the arithmetic-logic unit (11) as well as input and output of the data memory (13) are connected without intermediate buffer registers. Of the working registers (21, 23, 25, 27) connected to the ALU inputs, one group (21, 23) is loaded from the common data bus and the other group (25, 27), used as accumulators, is directly loaded from the ALU output. Specific control circuitry (51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61) allows selective storing of ALU output values into accumulators (25, 27), and simultaneous transfer with selective scaling into another register and into an addressed memory location within the same cycle during which the instruction was executed.
摘要:
In a signal processor computing arrangement comprising an ALU (11) and a multiplier (21), two selectively usable accumulators (37, 41) and gating circuitry (61, 63) are provided to allow alternating computation and accumulation of product terms for two output values with sets of input values that overlap. This saves memory accesses by using the same operand twice for different output values, and requires only one processor cycle per partial term and output value. A specific pipeline multiplier (21) is provided consisting of two partial sections (29, 31) with an intermediate pipeline register (33) to allow applying a second set of input operands while computation of the product of a first set of operands is still in progress.
摘要:
A communication method and arrangement are disclosed which provide, for a trellis encoding process in the transmitter and a maximum-likelihood decoding process in the receiver, an additional fifth state (ZS) in addition to the usual four coding states (S0 . . . S3). The fifth state is entered in the transmitter at the end of transmission when a particularly selected escape symbol from a set of four escape symbols (E0 . . . E3) each associated to one of the four normal coding states is sent by an encoder supplement (15). In the receiver, a stop signal indicating end of transmission is only generated when, after the usual decoder delay, a path decoder (63) determines that an escape symbol was received, and a trellis decoder (61) indicates the fifth state (ZS) to be the most probable one. This enables rapid and secure determination of the end of a transmitted sequence without the need for additional transmission symbols or decoder cycles.
摘要:
For rapidly detecting a periodic training signal in a modem receiver, delay line storage (21) is provided for a signal section which is equal to one training signal period (q.multidot.M samples) plus an additional adjacent window (q.multidot.W samples). Thus, the stored signal section includes two windows (17', 19) which are offset by one training signal period and which are similar if a training signal is present. In evaluation means (41) connected to the two windows (17', 19), two auxiliary signals (z.sub.1, z.sub.2) are generated (61, 65) which represent the signal energy and the correlation, respectively, of the samples in the two windows. From the auxiliary signals, a dissimilarity metric (z.sub.3) is derived (69) and is compared (73) to a given threshold for generating an indicator signal (CYC) which becomes active when a training signal is present, i.e. when the two window contents are similar and the metric (z.sub.3) falls below the threshold. A carrier frequency offset estimate (.DELTA..sub.f) is also derived from the second auxiliary signal (z.sub.2).
摘要:
An identification card provided with secret data contained in the form of a wave guide hologram recorded in a layer on the card. Light for developing or displaying the hologram is introduced into a wave guide layer extending along the surface of the card through a grating that admits light only of a given wave length suitable for developing the wave guide hologram. The secrecy of the wave guide hologram is further enhanced by incorporating into the light coupling grating a further hologram by which light only of a predetermined pattern can be coupled to the wave guide for delivery to the wave guide hologram.
