A PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) coding conversion circuit between an ISDN keyphone system and an office exchange, including an A/&mgr;-Law converter for converting the voice coding mode of the PCM data output from the ISDN keyphone system to an A-Law voice coding mode or a &mgr;-Law voice coding mode according to a coding mode of the office exchange and for converting the voice coding mode of the PCM data input to the ISDN keyphone system to an A-Law voice coding mode or a &mgr;-Law voice coding mode according to a coding mode of the ISDN or keyphone system, in response to a control signal output from a central processing unit so that a voice coding mode of the office exchange is matched to a voice coding mode of the ISDN keyphone system.
摘要:
The receiver of a PCM modem utilizes the V.90 TRN1d training signal for detecting whether any of the six slots of the received signal may be subject to alternating robbed bit signaling (ARBS), and what the alternating robbed bit signaling pattern may be. This is accomplished by accumulating the received level over a plurality of frames for each slot and by comparing the received levels for each slot to an average level for that slot. If the difference between the received levels and the average levels exceeds a threshold, the slot is determined to be subject to ARBS. Where a slot is subject to ARBS, DIL sequence signals for frames of the alternating robbed bit signaling slot having LSB=0 and LSB=1 are accumulated separately (if available) in order to generate two translation tables (TRT0, TRT1) for that slot. Where the DIL sequence is found only in the frames having the alternating robbed bit signaling slot having LSB=0 or having LSB=1, only one translation table can be generated. Different algorithms are provided for designing a constellation for the alternating robbed bit signaling slot depending on (a) whether two translation tables were generated for the slot, (b) whether the frame-to-TRT correspondence is known, and (c) where only one translation table is generated, whether the translation table generated was TRT0 or TRT1.

In some call-switching systems, transmitted speech samples may be sent back (back-looping) to the sender from a telephone switching center if the switching center is unable to send the speech samples forward. When supplementary information is sent with the speech sample, back-looping may cause a problem if the sending device interprets the signal as originating from another device. To avoid this problem, transmitted samples are subjected to a check value calucation such as a checksum or a cyclic redundancy check. The check value is stored in memory and any received samples are subjected to a check value calculation and compared to the stored samples. If the comparison yields a match, then the device will know that the received samples originated from itself and can be properly handled.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for minimizing quantization noise in signal transmissions between modems coupled together via a digital network resulting from the performance of digital loss insertion in &mgr;-law encoded signal transmissions when the receiving modem is coupled to the digital network via an analog subscriber loop. In a preferred embodiment, the minimization of quantization noise is effected by providing a digital modem capable of &mgr;-law encoding and decoding a signal transmission; and capable of scaling the amplitude levels of signals generated by the modem; and capable of performing an inversion mapping.

A cooperative feedback system is provided for a compensation system associated with, for example, a transmitter or codes, for enabling the compensation system to improve the accuracy of digital signals transmitted to a digital network. The cooperative feedback system is particularly suited for providing feedback to a compensation system for correcting distortion resulting from rob bit signaling (RBS), digital loss, or other types of digital signal degradation. The cooperative feedback system includes a compensation selector in a transmitter (e.g., digital modem, analog modem, codec, etc.) that combines compensations with frames of digital data by way of an addition mechanism to produce modified digital data frames. The transmitter is configured to transmit the modified digital data frames into the digital network. A receiver (e.g., digital modem, analog modem, etc.) is configured to receive the modified digital data frames from the digital network, to determine if accuracy of each of the modified digital data frames has increased based upon a corresponding compensation, and to communicate one or more quality feedback signals to the transmitter via the digital network. The one or more quality feedback signals indicate whether the accuracy of each of the digital data frames has increased based upon the corresponding compensations. The transmitter receives the quality feedback signal(s) and selects and implements the compensation that yields a highest accuracy based upon the quality feedback signal(s).

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for minimizing quantization noise in signal transmissions between modems coupled together via a digital network resulting from the performance of digital loss insertion in .mu.-law encoded signal transmissions when the receiving modem is coupled to the digital network via an analog subscriber loop. In a preferred embodiment, the minimization of quantization noise is effected by providing in a digital modem means for .mu.-law encoding and decoding of signal transmissions, means for scaling the amplitude levels of signals generated by the first modem down by a predetermined reduction factor to obtain factored signals in addition to means for performing an inversion mapping comprising a scaling of the amplitude level of the factored, .mu.-law encoded signals up by a predetermined inversion factor to obtain a gain in the amplitude level of the factored signals corresponding to the predetermined loss inserted in the amplitude levels of the transmitted .mu.-law encoded signals. In accordance with an alternate embodiment, the minimization of quantization noise is effected independently of the transmitting modem through an inversion mapping of .mu.-law encoded signals forming .mu.-law code words when transmitted through an interexchange (IEC) digital network. The inversion mapping is performed by scaling the amplitude levels of .mu.-law code words up by a predetermined inversion factor to obtain a gain corresponding to the predetermined loss subsequently inserted in the amplitude levels of the .mu.-law code words. This is accomplished by providing within a digital switch of the IEC network means for detecting one of the existence of a terminating analog subscriber loop and the occurrence of loss insertion over the digital network, means for determining the amount of loss inserted in the signal transmissions, means for performing a .mu.-law code word-to-code word inversion mapping.

An automatic gain control for an inputted multiplex PCM data stream in a conferencing bridge in a telephone system. The inputted multiplexed data stream has a predetermined number of time slots wherein each time slot carries PCM speech data corresponding to an individual party in the conference call. The control of the present invention is capable of operating in .mu.-Law or A-Law companded format at a frequency of 192-256 kilobytes per second. The automatic gain control incorporates a digital root-mean-square meter, a COUNT sequence to change GAIN at predetermined intervals, and a set of GAIN rules to selectively increase or decrease GAIN based upon the output of the digital root-mean-square meter.

摘要:
A codec is disclosed for encoding analog signals into compressed PCM (CPCM) and conversely for decoding CPCM information into analog signals. The signal to be encoded is compared with the decaying voltage on a capacitor, initially charged to a fixed voltage E, and being discharged through a fixed resistor to another fixed voltage -- dE, the time being measured by a binary digital counter from the start of the discharge until the voltage at the capacitor terminal equals the absolute value of the analog signal to be encoded. With proper choice of constants and clock frequency, the content of the binary counter at the time of coincidence represents the desired pulse code in complementary binary form of the analog signal sample to be encoded. Only the sign bit has to be added, which can be easily obtained from the polarity of the signal sample. Conversely, at the receiving end, the CPCM signal may be decoded into analog signal samples by timing the discharge of a similar or identical RC-circuit in accordance with the received code.
