摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for predicting received signal strength in a wireless mobile receiver. The invention bounds the range of allowed values for a next predicted signal. The bounded prediction compensates for erroneous values from multipath fading. The predicted signal strength is used to set the mobile receiver amplifier gain to the desired level.

It is a first objective of the present invention to provide a method by which to reduce the probability of coding low energy unvoiced speech as background noise. The present invention determines an encoding rate by examining subbands of the input signal, by this method unvoiced speech can be distinguished from background noise. A second objective of the present invention is to provide a means by which to set the threshold levels that takes into account signal energy as well as background noise energy. In the present invention, the background noise is not used to determine threshold values, rather the signal to noise ratio of an input signal is use to determine the threshold values. A third objective of the present invention is to provide a method for coding music passing through a variable rate vocoder. The present invention examines the periodicity of the input signal to distinguish music from background noise.

A method and system by which parameter data representative of vocoded speech are organized into a data packet for transmission so as to reduce the impact of transmission channel induced errors on the data packet. A data packet is constructed with certain most perceptually significant bits of parameter data at the beginning of the data packet. Following in the data packet are lesser perceptually significant bits of the same parameter data. Other parameter data then follows in the data packet. Interleaved in the data packet following the most perceptually significant bits at the beginning of the data packet are most perceptually significant bits of other parameter data. A parity check code is computed from the most perceptually significant bits in the data packet and also interleaved in the data packet following the most perceptually significant bits at the beginning of the data packet.

A method and apparatus are described for controlling the data rates for communications to and from a base station and a plurality of remote users. The usage of the communications resource whether the forward link resource (from base station to remote users) or reverse link resource (from remote users to base station) is measured. The measured usage value is compared against at least one predetermined threshold value and the data rates of communications or a subset of communications on said communications resource is modified in accordance with said comparisons.

An apparatus and method for performing speech signal compression, by variable rate coding of frames of digitized speech samples. The level of speech activity for each frame of digitized speech samples is determined and an output data packet rate is selected from a set of rates based upon the determined level of frame speech activity. A lowest rate of the set of rates corresponds to a detected minimum level of speech activity, such as background noise or pauses in speech, while a highest rate corresponds to a detected maximum level of speech activity, such as active vocalization. Each frame is then coded according to a predetermined coding format for the selected rate wherein each rate has a corresponding number of bits representative of the coded frame. A data packet is provided for each coded frame with each output data packet of a bit rate corresponding to the selected rate. At the decoder, if a frame is lost due to a channel error, the error is masked by maintaining a fraction of the previous frame's energy and smoothly transitioning to background noise.

An impulse ink jet apparatus provides bar coding using one or more ink jet chambers having a plurality of orifices in each chamber. A transducer is coupled to each chamber for ejecting droplets from each of the plurality of orifices in the chamber in response to the state of energization of the transducer.

A mobile computing device with multiple modes, for example, wireless communication and personal computing, has an application processor and a communication processor. In the computing mode, the application processor is the master processor. In the communication mode, the application processor is deenergized to conserve battery power, with the communication processor functioning as the master processor by accessing the device's peripheral bus using the memory interface of the communication processor.

A novel and improved method and apparatus for encoding line predictive coding (LPC) data in a speech compression system using line spectral square root values is disclosed. A novel and computationally efficient procedure for determining the set of quantization sensitivities for the line spectral square root values is disclosed, which results in a computationally efficient error measure for use in vector quantization of the line spectral square root values. A novel method of weighting the quantization error is disclosed, which accumulates the quantization error in each line spectral square root value and weights that error by the sensitivity of that line spectral square root value.
