Abstract:
A system and method are described for correcting for a loss of message boundary in a real-time data transmission over an interconnect between a source node and a destination node in an apparatus. In the apparatus, a destination node received one or more messages, wherein each message includes one or more data frames, and each data frame of each message includes an end-of-message flag and a message sequence number, the end-of-message flag set when the data frame is the last data frame in a particular message, and the message sequence number is different for different messages. A loss of message boundary is determined for a previous message when a new data frame of a new message is received and the new message sequence number of the new data frame is different from the previous message sequence number and a last received data frame did not include a set end-of-message flag. To establish re-synchronization, the destination node transmits a synchronization loss message to the source node, and the destination node receives in reply a status report message, and the destination node can regain synchronization of the last received message data such that a previous message boundary can be determined according to the status report message.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for iterative timing recovery are provided that can be used, for example, in phase shift keying systems. The methods include processing an input signal using an FEC decoder, using some of the information from the FEC decoding process to estimate the phase of the symbol carrier, and correcting the phase for subsequent input signals. Another of the embodiments under the present principles provides for post-processing of the phase estimation prior to using the estimate for phase correction. Another embodiment is a post processor that comprises a filter, including a Kalman filter. Another embodiment includes using a priori information embedded in the input signal, such as a synchronization signal, to assist the phase estimation process.
Abstract:
A receiver synchronization technique is described in this disclosure that significantly reduces the convergence time for synchronization further enabling specially modulated radio frequency carrier waves using the following steps: the characteristics of the baseband signal (Signal from RF) are used to detect the start of a received burst (Symbol Indicator Signal). Once the presence of a symbol is detected, the data acquisition subsystem (Data Acquisition and Preprocessing) is enabled to begin collecting samples (Data Samples). These samples are then transferred to the DSP (DSP). The DSP then searches for a preamble to precisely determine the timing delay to the start of the payload data.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a digital data interface device message format that describes command and response messages to be exchanged between a digital device having a system controller and a digital data interface device. The digital data interface device includes a message interpreter, content module and a control module. The digital data interface device may include an MDDI link controller. The digital data interface device can be used by a cellular telephone to control a peripheral device, such as a camera, bar code reader, image scanner, audio device or other sensor. The digital data interface device message format includes a transaction identification field, a count field, a command identification field and a status field. Optionally, the message format can include a data field. When an MDDI link is used, a digital data interface device message can be included in an MDDI register access packet.
Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for implementing cyclic redundancy checks to improve link initialization processing and to exchange system error information. In one aspect, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checker is provided that includes a unique pattern detector, a CRC generator, a CRC initializer and a CRC verifier. The CRC checker prepopulates the CRC generator for a unique pattern. Upon receipt of the unique pattern within a data stream received over a digital transmission link, the CRC checker proceeds to check CRCs without the need to queue and store data. In another aspect, a CRC generator system is provided that intentionally corrupts CRC values to transmit system error information. The CRC generator system includes a CRC generator, a CRC corrupter, an error detector and an error value generator. In one example, the digital transmission link is an MDDI link.

Abstract:
A data Interface for transferring digital data between a host (100) and a client (104,108) over a communication path (110) using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device (100) and being coupled to the client (104,108) through the communications path (110). The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range "serial" type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays (104) to portable computers (100) and wireless communication devices (102).
Abstract:
A hearing aid is provided comprising a transceiver for interconnection of the hearing aid with a wireless network for communication with a plurality of other devices, and a communication controller that is adapted for controlling data exchange through the network in accordance with a simple network protocol. The hearing aid wireless network facilitates interconnection of a plurality of devices in the network, such as hearing aids, remote controllers, fitting instruments, mobile phones, headsets, door bells, alarm systems, broadcast systems, such as tele coil replacement, etc, etc. In an established network, the network master device, in a connected mode, regularly transmits synchronization data, e.g. comprised in a link management package, for synchronization of the slave devices in the network with the master device. During initialisation of the network, for example upon turn-on of two hearing aids, each device in an acquisition mode transmits interrogation data, e.g. comprised in a link management package, at a higher rate than the rate of transmission of the synchronization data in the connected mode. The provided acquisition method has low power consumption during execution and it is fast.
