Abstract:
A subframe data transmission device for a mobile communication system. A bit generator generates specific bits having a predetermined value. A bit inserter segments a received data bit stream into at least two subframes, and inserts the generated specific bits at locations where an error probability is higher in the respective subframes. A turbo coder codes the subframe data comprised of the data bit stream and the specific bits. The subframe is equal in size to an ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) block, and the specific bits are inserted at a rear portion of the subframe. The bit inserter includes a delay for delaying the received data bit stream by the number of the specific bits to be inserted; and a selector for connecting, upon completion of receiving data bits for the subframe, the received data bits to the delay and applying an output of the bit generator to the turbo coder; and applying, when the specific bits are inserted, an output of the delay to the turbo coder.
Abstract:
A free space optical communication system with variable error correction includes an optical transmitter having a variable error correction encoder and an optical receiver having variable error correction decoder. The optical transmitter can encode the data to be transmitted with an error correction code having a data rate that varies depending on to the error rate or predicted error rate of the optical signal to optimize throughput of the data while maintaining accuracy.
Abstract:
A weighting device utilizes soft reliability values and class weighting factors to detect errors in digitized information. The soft reliability values can be provided by a decoder that processes the information according to a predetermined coding scheme. Bits representing the encoded information are classified accorded to classes defined by a bit sensitivity analysis. The bit sensitivity analysis can be based on subjective and/or objective criteria. As incoming bits are received by the weighting device, they are classified and class reliability values are computed for each class based on the soft reliability values. The class reliability values are then weighted to produce weighted class reliability values. Error concealment algorithms, coding rate determination, and coding rate requests can be activated based on the weighted class reliability values.

There is provided an apparatus and method of generating two-dimensional QCTCs. The sub-code sets of QCTCs with given code rates are generated and the sub-codes are rearranged in a sub-code set with a different code rate, for use in the next transmission to a sub-code with a predetermined code rate.
Abstract:
A system for streaming data and corresponding protective parity bits in packets over a channel, the system comprising a recursive systematic convolutional encoder at a sending end for producing said corresponding protective parity bits and a recursive systematic convolutional decoder at a receiving end for reconstructing data lost in the channel, and a data interleaver at a sending end for interleaving data for said recursive systematic convolutional encoder according to a uniformity criterion to form parity bits therefrom, and a parity bit distributor operable to distribute said parity bits over said packets differentially from corresponding data. The system is useful in enabling real time multimedia data distribution over cellular networks.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for generating parameters used in coding data in a data transmission system. The method determines a number of possible coding parameters to satisfy a target coding gain and selects the best set of parameters that balance the code word length and the error rate. In this manner, a minimum coding gain may be used, which minimizes cross-talk on a transmission link.
Abstract:
The invention is concerned with improvements in full duplex Internet telephone systems with a system architecture having low latency and permitting voice communication with telephone to telephone or PC to telephone connections. The architecture permits dynamic packet-to-packet change in codec to adjust for Internet conditions. The voice port creates self-describing packet conditions so that the higher level software of the system is independent of codec selection. In addition to adjusting the codec, the voice port has the capability of dynamically and concurrently selecting other factors such as the level of error correction redundancy, the packet size and packet bundling on a packet-to-packet basis. The invention further includes a technique to eliminate dead air spaces in the voice data transmission stream by speeding up or slowing down the data rate in the buffer while maintaining a constant pitch of speech.

The present invention provides remarkably improved availability in a data recording method and apparatus, a data recording medium, and a data reproducing method and apparatus. By recording additional information for data reproduction in each sector on a data reproducing medium as a subcode separately from data when the data is recorded in the unit of sector, reproduction of data can be controlled using the subcode, thus making it possible to remarkably improve the availability of the data recording medium.
Abstract:
A forward error correction (FEC) method is provided including an FEC dynamic central station and a plurality of FEC dynamic remote stations that transmit bearer data and corresponding error correction data therebetween during a plurality of time frames. The error rate of the communication channel is measured and the amount of error correction data transmitted is accordingly and dynamically adjusted, so that the minimum amount of overhead required to effectively transmit the error correction data is used.
Abstract:
A method and system for overriding error correction capabilities of digital optical media is provided. The overriding of the error correction codes (ECC) is accomplished by causing a non-correctable pattern of erroneous symbols to occur in the ECC codeword. Specific redundancy symbols are replaced with invalid symbols. The non-correctable error pattern is recognized by the ECC decoder as being non-correctable and the ECC decoder does not attempt to change the values of any symbols of an ECC codeword that is contaminated by the detectable non-correctable error pattern.
