Abstract: Selon l'invention, les communications par bus sont optimisées par ajustement de caractéristiques de signal en fonction d'un ou plusieurs paramètres dépendant de la topographie. Dans un transmetteur à bus (380), une caractéristique de signal de transmission est ajustée en fonction d'un paramètre dépendant de la topographie. Un port du transmetteur à bus reçoit le paramètre dépendant de la topographie pour une utilisation ultérieure par le circuit d'ajustement de paramètre (fig. 16). Ce circuit d'ajustement de paramètre ajuste un signal de commande de paramètre en fonction du paramètre dépendant de la topographie couplé au logiciel de commande de sortie (422). Avant de commander un signal de sortie sur un bus, le logiciel de commande de sortie ajuste les caractéristiques de signal de transmission en fonction du signal de commande de paramètre. Dans un récepteur à bus (382), une caractéristique de signal de réception est également ajustée en fonction d'un paramètre dépendant de la topographie. Un port associé au récepteur à bus reçoit le paramètre dépendant de la topographie et le stocke dans un registre (390). Le circuit d'ajustement de paramètre ajuste un signal de commande en fonction du paramètre dépendant de la topographie stocké. Un tampon d'entrée reçoit un signal d'entrée provenant d'un bus couplant le récepteur à un transmetteur du signal d'entrée. Le tampon d'entrée produit un premier signal à partir du signal d'entrée par ajustement d'un paramètre du signal d'entrée en fonction du signal de commande.

Abstract: The invention concerns a game management centre connected to at least a remote game terminal, sending to the terminals whereto it is connected, a message (MQ) containing a game identifier and a question. A player's answer acquired by the remote game terminal is transmitted masked by a secret to the game centre to ensure the player's anonymity. If the masked answer message is received before the answer is broadcast, the game management centre sends an acknowledgement to the game terminal. The answer to the question is broadcast subsequently to all remote game terminals. If the player has given the right answer, the terminal should, to claim his prize, send a message containing the acknowledgement and an information proving that he is in possession of the secret used to mask the answer.

The improvement is to scale the signal after each decoding by a predetermined value in the vicinity of 0.7 to 0.8. At a signal Eb/No in the vicinity of 1.0 db., an improvement of about 0.2 db. in coding gain is attained while very little complexity is added. Decoders may be according to the max Log MAP algorithm instead of the more complex Log MAP algorithm with only slight degradation of performance.
