Title: Method and apparatus for performing decoding of codes at variable data rates
Inventor: STEIN JEREMY M
IPC: H03M13/00
Filed: 1997-09-11
Abstract: The present invention is a novel and improved method and apparatus for decoding a frame of digital data which contains redundant information provided to validate the decoding operation. In the present invention, a frame of data contains information bits and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits. The received frame is decoded and a check is conducted by CRC check (84) to determine whether the CRC bits correspond correctly for the decoded information bits. If the decoded frame passes the CRC test process, the decoded frame is provided to the user. However, if the decoded frame does not pass the CRC test, then at least one additional decoding process is performed on the received frame. In the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, if the CRC test is failed, a noise vector of a predetermined set of noise vectors generated by noise generator (80) is summed with the received frame and the resultant frame is decoded for a second time. In the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the CRC test fails, a set of the received symbols are replaced with symbol erasure indications by erasure generator (162).

Title: Inter-exchange passing of hand-off related parameters
Inventor: HOUDE MICHEL
IPC: H04W36/12
Filed: 1997-09-26
Abstract: In connection with instances of inter-exchange hand-off, certain hand-off related paramaters assigned to border cells within a first system area are evaluated (121, 124) and considered by the second system area in making the inter-exchange hand-off. To communicate these hand-off related parameters from the first system area to the second system area, a request (152) for the parameters is transmitted from a mobile switching center (18(1)) serving the second system area to a mobile switching center (18(2)) serving the first system area. Responsive thereto, the mobile switching center for the first system area retrieves (154) and delivers (156) the requested parameters for subsequent second system area mobile switching center processing in connection with making the inter-exchange hand-off determination. Alternatively, the mobile switching center serving the first system area acts on its own to retrieve (162) and send (164) certain hand-off related parameters to the mobile switching center serving the second system area for subsequent use in connection with making the inter-exchange hand-off determination.

Patent CA-2270188-A1 (CA)
Title: Video transmission apparatus employing intra-frame-only video compression that is mpeg-2 compatible
Inventor: SONG DONG-IL
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: VIDEO TRANSMISSION APPARATUS EMPLOYING INTRAFRAME-ONLY     Intraframe-only video compression encoding of every successive video frame is done the way intraframe video compression encoding is done on I anchor frames in MPEG-2, and each frame is identified as being intraframe video compression encoded similarly to the way it is done on x anchor frames in MPEG-2. The encoder for doing this is simpler than that for coding P frames and B frames as well as I  frames, since there is no need for motion estimation circuitry. Using such an encoder in a digital camcorder reduces power drain on the battery and permits the weight and size of the camcorder to be reduced. Intraframe-only video compression facilitates editing video.    In many systems in which video editing is done an MPEG-2 decoder is already available, so there is no additional cost for a decoder to decode the transport stream of I Frames without intervening P or B frames. If an MPEG-2 decoder is not already available in a system, providing such a decoder is reasonable in cost, since the amount of hardware in an MPEG-2 decoder is considerably less than that in an MPEG-2 encoder.

Patent CA-2274173-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OVADIA SHLOMO
IPC: H04B3/06
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: The performance of a multiphase and/or multiple amplitude receiver, such as a 64/256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) receiver, is improved in the presence of single and multiple echoes. A moving window adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is provided according to the adaptive equation C n(k+1)= C n(k) - W(k) E(k) X n(k), where delta is step size, Cn is the tap value of tap number n, E(k) is the error output at time k, X n(k) is the received signal for pre-cursor taps (FFE) and past decision output for post--cursor taps (DFE), and W(k) is the sliding window function of time k. In the adaptation process, some coefficients are fixed while other taps are being adapted. In particular, the adaptation is focused on a group of taps which correspond to received echoes. By only adjusting these taps, no interference or noise is introduced to the decision making device in the digital receiver and therefore, the effect of noise and echoes on the adaptation control is substantially reduced.
