Abstract:
The invention relates to the digital signal requantization, at a given quantization step size, of a first word received in a first period of time and encoded in a first number of bits, into a second word, with a quantization error equal to a third number. A sequence of third words is outputted, equal to the second word, with the sequence subdivided into a first group comprising a number of third words that is equal to the third number and a second group of third words. Before outputting them, the correction means adds a least significant bit to the third words of the first group and adds or subtracts least significant bits to or from the third words of the second group, such that the sum of the least significant bits added to and subtracted from the second group is zero.
Abstract:
A system and method for demodulating and decoding a differentially encoded modulation code from a coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COFDM) transmitter involves partitioning the differentially encoded modulation code into two-dimensional code blocks and demodulating and decoding the two-dimensional code blocks to produce demodulated and decoded information.
Abstract:
Provided are a digital video data transmission system and digital video data transmission method. The digital video data transmission system includes a transmitting unit transmitting valid first data in input digital video data having spatial locality to a bus as output encoding information without bit-inversion coding the first data, bit-inversion coding previous data of output encoding data corresponding to the input digital video data based on differential values of adjacent digital video data, and transmitting the bit-inversion coded value to the bus as the output encoding information; and a receiving unit not decoding output encoding information transmitted in parallel through the bus, i.e., the first data, but decoding output encoding information transmitted in parallel through the bus based on the differential values. The output encoding information includes the output encoding data and coding enable information that indicates whether to bit-inversion encode previous data of the output encoding data. The digital video data transmission system and digital video data transmission method can reduce the number of transitions of bits included in the digital video data transmitted through the bus, thereby reducing power consumption and electromagnetic interference.

Abstract:
A method of coding information for transmission over a communication channel involves differentially coding selected bits of an input sequence with respect to bits of a previous input symbol to generate a transmit sequence comprising a plurality of transmit symbols. The differential coding method can be used in combination with unequal error protection and interleaving to protect bits during transmission.
Abstract:
A successive requantizer, which serves as a replacement for a ΔΣ modulator in a fractional-N PLL or a DAC, and avoids spurious tone problems, thereby circumventing the tradeoffs that result from reliance on the common approach of making highly linear analog circuitry to avoid spurious tones. A successive requantizer fractional-N PLL of the invention has the potential to reduce power consumption and the cost of commercial communication devices. The successive requantizer performs digital quantization one bit at a time in such a way that the quantization noise can he engineered to have desirable properties such as non-linearity robustness. The successive requantizer is applicable to most high-performance digital communication systems, such as cellular telephone handsets and wireless local and metropolitan area network transceivers.

Abstract:
A data processing apparatus includes an input terminal for receiving an audio signal, a 1-bit A/D converter for A/D converting the audio signal into a 1-bit bitstream signal, and a prediction unit for carrying out a prediction step on the bitstream signal so as to obtain a predicted bitstream signal. The data processing apparatus further includes a signal combination unit for combining the bitstream signal and the predicted bitstream signal so as to obtain a residue bitstream signal. A recording apparatus or a transmitter apparatus can use the data processing apparatus. The residue bitstream signal is data compressed by lossless encoding and then error encoded and channel encoded prior to transmission through a media.
Abstract:
Reduction of data width in transmitted multi-bit data words in an automotive system is accomplished by truncating the data at its least significant bits and accumulating the truncated bits until, over successive truncated digital words, the sum of the accumulated bits exceeds a threshold equal to the least significant bit of the truncated word. At this time, the truncated word is incremented by one least significant bit and the accumulated value of truncated bits is decremented by an equal amount. In this way, the error does not accumulate in applications which integrate the resulting truncated words.
