Abstract: A simulcast system has a terminal controller (226) capable of measuring propagation delays, and calculating propagation delay differences from the measured propagation delays (1702) for each of the plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608). The terminal controller (226) also receives and transmits data to each of the plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608). The terminal controller (226) transmits the propagation delay differences, and a start command to the plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608) for initiating simulcast retransmission of the data. The plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608) also receive the propagation delay differences, the propagation delay difference (1706) being determined for delaying the retransmission of data at each of the plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608). The plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608) receive data from the terminal controller (226) to be retransmitted. The plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608) stores the received data and receive the start command. The retransmission of the stored data is delayed from the receipt of the start command (1720) by the propagation delay difference calculated for each base site to enable the retransmission of the data at substantially the same time by the plurality of base sites (1602, 1604, 1606, 1608).

Abstract: Method for determining the most likely path through a stochastic network such as a Markov model, with various subnetworks such as network branches. Instead of tracing the best path from the end state (backtracing), there is detected in all cases for at least one state, through which of those different subnetworks runs the most likely path ending in that state, and this information is propagated through the network. It is possible to assign to each subnetwork an identification code which is representative of that subnetwork and which is passed through the network to the end state. The method can be used in particular in the recognition of speech or image signals and the like.
