摘要:
An interface for coupling a standard telephone set to a distributed digital network for allowing digital voice communication over the distributed network such that the utilization of the distributed network is wholly transparent to the user. An interface is provided for each telephone set. Each interface includes a state machine, a coder/decoder and a digital tone generator. The state machine is responsive to analog control signals from the telephone set to generate digital control signals to be transmitted over the distributed network. The state machine is also responsive to digital control signals to control the digital waveform generator to generate supervisory tones which are relayed to the user by the telephone set. The state machine also monitors the operation of the corresponding state machine or machines in a normal or conference call and sends control signals to resolve inconsistent states of the respective state machines, resulting in a high degree of fault tolerance and independence from network protocols.
摘要:
An arrangement for conducting a conference call over a distributed digital network in which, at each station connected to the conference call, only voice packets from the other stations connected to the conference call are received. To avoid the need for synchronization between stations connected to the conference call, a local time base is established to define a sequence of periodic intervals during which a single voice packet will be accepted from each station connected to the conference call. The interval is advantageously set to be approximately equal the sampling period for data in a received data packet which will be reasonably uniform for all stations on the network. This provides that, typically, a maximum of one data packet will be received from any selected station during a single time base interval. The time base interval can be adaptively adjusted by monitoring the transmission queues of the local or other stations connected to the conference call and the interval can be reduced if a transmission queue exceeds a predetermined length.

An electronic transmitter transmits multiple digital input signals simultaneously by including an encoding circuit, a digital combiner circuit, and a modulator circuit. The encoding circuit encodes each of the digital input signals as a sequence of "1" and "0" chips with all of the chip sequences being synchronized in parallel; the digital combiner circuit generates a signed multi-bit digital signal which indicates the number of "1" chips minus the number of "0" chips that concurrently occur in the synchronized chip sequences; and, the modulator circuit generates a sinusoidal analog signal with a phase and a peak amplitude that respectively indicate the sign and magnitude of the signed multi-bit digital signal.

A novel universal multi-mode programmable two-channel timing generator employs a plurality of counters and logic circuitry. An input chip counter is coupled for receiving system clock signals and producing chip strobe and other output timing signals which are programmably capable of generating different rates of operation and different data or PN rates on different channels as well as different I and O enable signals for dedicated tracking and timing signals. The signals produced are used for synchronous-sample or non-synchronous-sample operation in a simple fast acting circuit designed for VLSI implementation.

A programmable randomly tunable digital demodulator is provided with a carrier recovery loop and a PN code clock recovery loop each having a programmable digital loop filter coupled in series therein. Each digital loop filter is controlled by a timing control which is capable of controlling the carrier frequency tuning and the PN tuning frequency under the control of a microprocessor. A replica PN generator is programmed to produce an epoch signal when the transmitted carrier frequency and/or chipping rate is varied in a pseudorandom manner and is coupled to the timing controls so that the modulator replicates the received variable rate signals.

A high chipping rate digital demodulator circuit is coupled to the output of an analog front end communications receiver and comprises a low pass filter in each channel of the receiver. The filtered output is coupled to a plurality of parallel branches each having an analog to digital converter which converts a portion of an analog sample to digital format and effectively reduces the system clock rate by a ratio of the number of parallel branches. One set of parallel branches is coupled to an early-late clock error detector circuits and another set of parallel branches is coupled to data signal detector circuits and then combined before being applied to a clock error processing channel and a data signal phase error channel which maintains the lower clock rate of the parallel branches.

A programmable digital gain accumulator is provided with a digital accumulator having approximately the same number of significant bits as the input data stream. The most significant bit of the input data stream is a sign bit coupled to a series cascade of flip-flops providing a selectable plurality of flip-flop delay times. The carry output of the accumulator is coupled to an input up/down counter having its output coupled to a multiplexor capable of selecting one of the carry outputs of the input up/down counter. The up or down count is controlled by the sign bit input from the sign bit delay circuit. The output of the multiplexor is inputted to an output up/down counter whose parallel output is the parallel synchronous digital gain command signal for direct use by a utilization device. The up or down count of the output up/down counter is controlled by a delayed sign input from the sign bit delay circuit.

A novel programmable digital gain controller is provided for the automatic gain control loop of a communications receiver. The digital gain controller comprises a pair of digital detectors coupled to the real and imaginary components of a data stream for providing digital data magnitude output signals which are coupled to an adder whose output is coupled to a first input of a comparator having a second input coupled to a predetermined reference level command. The output of the comparator generates a digital error signal which is coupled to the input of a programmable gain accumulator having a second input proportional gain command so as to provide at the output of the programmable gain accumulator a digital gain command which may be coupled to a variable gain controlled amplifier which is connected in the input data stream of the channel of a communications receiver to provide a predetermine amplifier output level.
