    摘要: Analog modems are enabled to better learn the slicing levels employed at the interface to a digital transmission network by reducing the effects of the various noise sources. Initially a training sequence is received to preliminarily adjust the analog modem's equalizer. Thereafter, a special training sequence, protected against intersymbol interference, is employed to collect samples of each slicing level, to ascertain the least mean squared value of each slicing level from the received samples and to obtain the channel's impulse response at each slicing level. To mitigate the effects of robbed bit signaling that may be employed in the digital transmission network, an array of slicers is provided to determine which bit position is being robbed and to base level learning on samples obtained from the non-robbed positions.

    摘要: A DMT signal conforming to a first DMT standard (e.g., the full-rate G.dmt standard based on 255 tones) is sampled at a sampling rate for the first DMT standard, filtered to attenuate a subset of the tones of the first DMT standard (e.g., all G.dmt tones above tone #127), and subsampled (e.g., 2:1) to provide a subsampled, filtered signal that can be further processed using components designed to operate under a second, different DMT standard (e.g., the half-rate G.lite standard based on 127 tones). As such, a conventional half-rate G.lite DMT transceiver can be modified (e.g., by changing the downstream sampling rate from 1.104 MHz to 2.208 MHz and adding an appropriate low-pass filter and decimator) for configuration in a full-rate G.dmt DMT system. The filtering and subsampling ensure that a downstream signal (even if it is a full-rate DMT initialization or synchronization signal containing tones above tone #127) can successfully be further processed using conventional half-rate DMT transceiver components, which are less complex and less expensive than those of full-rate DMT transceivers, thereby enabling the use of relatively inexpensive consumer personal equipment (CPE) in existing distributed full-rate DMT telecommunications systems.

    摘要: A so-called post equalization echo canceler is utilized in conjunction with transmitter and receiver data timing synchronization to enhance tracking of the echo path impulse response and convergence of the transversal filter in the post equalization echo canceler. This is realized by employing the equalization error in the receiver to adapt coefficients of the post equalization echo canceler transversal filter, in conjunction, with the transmitter and receiver data timing synchronization. The timing synchronization is realized by using sample rate conversion of the transmit sample rate to the receive sample rate and, in one example, variable phase interpolation of the converted timing signal. The receiver timing is recovered, and a phase error signal generated by the timing recovery unit is advantageously employed to adjust a variable phase interpolator in the receiver and a variable phase interpolator in a path supplying the transmitter signal to an input of the post equalization echo canceler. This insures that both the adaptive transversal filter of the post equalization echo canceler and a transversal filter in an equalizer in the receiver are operating on data having the same timing. In this example, the timing is that of the received data signal. In an embodiment of the invention, the post equalization echo canceler is utilized in conjunction with a so-called conventional, e.g., a primary, echo canceler. The conventional echo canceler is employed before the equalizer to cancel a major portion of any echo signal, while the post equalization echo canceler is employed after the equalizer to cancel residual echo signals caused primarily by drift in the hybrid network. To this end, the conventional echo canceler is “trained” during the initial half-duplex operation of the modem and, then, updating of its impulse response is inhibited, while the post equalization echo canceler is allowed to continue adapting.

    摘要: A multiple tone detector includes n tone detectors, each detecting one of n distinct tones, where n.gtoreq.2, and a background detector which generates a measure of accumulative background energy E.sub.avg in a frequency band or bands which do not include at least a subset of the n tones. The output of the background detector is applied to a smoothing filter, which generates the accumulative background energy measure E.sub.avg for a current frame as a weighted sum of the background detector output for the current frame and the background energy measure E.sub.avg from a previous frame. A parameter controlling response time of the smoothing filter is varied depending upon whether or not speech is determined to be present in the background portion of the input signal. A processor uses the energy measures from the n tone detectors and the background detector to compute n ratios, where a given ratio is the ratio of the energy measure of the ith tone to the accumulative background energy measure E.sub.avg. The processor determines if each of the n ratios are greater than a threshold, and if the maximum of the n ratios is less than a constant times the minimum of the n ratios, in order to generate a decision as to whether the n tones are present in the input signal.

    摘要: A circuit compensating for the difference in transmission rate of digital samples generated in transmit and receive paths between a user and a transceiver processing in the frequency domain, such as a digital multi-tone (DMT) transceiver. Compensation of the DMT transmission rate in the receive path in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present employs zero-padding of the frequency domain coefficients generated by the DMT transceiver prior to applying an inverse transform, such as the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). Zero-padding the frequency domain coefficients allows for the compensation of the transmission rate in the receive path by generating digital samples from the frequency domain coefficients with an inverse transform having a rate matched to the frequency domain transform and rate employed in the transmit path.

    摘要: A data processor for executing a program of instructions stored in a program memory controlled by a program counter. To execute a loop control instruction, calling for repeated execution N times of a sequence of "i" instructions, the processor includes a loop circuit having an instruction counter which counts execution of the instructions in the loop sequence and produces an end-of-sequence signal upon each completion of the loop, a register which refreshes the program counter with the address of the first instruction in the loop in response to each end-of-sequence signal, and a loop counter which counts the number of completions of the loop and delivers a signal indicating the end of the loop portion of the entire program and enabling the program counter to continue on with the rest of the program. The delay in loop execution permits initializing of registers in the data processor so as to permit pipeline execution of the loop instruction.
