Title: Multicast communication tree creation and control method and apparatus
Inventor: AUERBACH JOSHUA SETH
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1993-05-06
Abstract: In a multicast network communication system, administration of the communication path making up the multicast tree itself has been separated from control and administration of the network. Creation of a multicast distribution tree and control over the membership thereof, is separately controlled independently from the creation and use of the tree transmission path used to communicate among the members of a multicast set. Transmission distribution trees are set up when a transmission request is received and the properties of the transmission path that is required are known. Transmission paths are created and controlled by all nodes in the communications system, each node having necessary control code and processors for responding to requests from set members to transmit a message to groups of users by creating and activating the necessary tree communication path distribution linkages. A distribution tree is created by the Tree Leader by generating a tree address using a random number generator. A tree address correlator is generated utilizing network and node identifiers unique for the network, and a list of subnodes or users connected for each member of the multicast tree set is generated. Using this information, a tree distribution path is computed to cover all of the subnodes required and a tree set up request message is sent by the Tree Leader along a computed path to each involved subnode. Each subnode returns a message indicating whether the tree address is already in use or is available for use. Successfully negotiated tree addresses are marked at the path link initiation and termination points at each node through the network. <IMAGE>

IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 1989-07-06
Abstract: An optical 1xN star coupler has a single mode input fibre I and N single mode output fibres O1 forming an output fibre assembly. The output fibres O are tapered within a former 2 which holds each output fibre O so it is positioned substantially identically relative to the remaining output fibres.

Title: Hearing-adapted quality assessment of audio signals
Inventor: SEITZER DIETER
IPC: H04S1/00
Filed: 1997-10-02
Abstract: In a method for assessing the quality of an audio test signal derived from an audio reference signal by coding and decoding, the audio test signal is compared with the audio reference signal, as it were, behind the cochlea of the human ear. All masking effects as well as the transmission function of the ear are equally applied to the audio reference signal and the audio test signal. To this end, the audio test signal is broken down according to its spectral composition by means of a first bank of filters consisting of filters overlapping in frequency and defining spectral regions, said filters having differing filtering functions each determined on the basis of the excitation curve of the human ear with respect to the respective filter center frequency. The audio reference signal is also broken down according to its spectral composition into partial audio reference signals by means of a second bank of filters coinciding with the first bank of filters. Subsequently, a level difference by spectral regions is formed between the partial audio test signals and the partial audio reference signals belonging to the same spectral regions. To assess the quality of the audio test signal, a detection probability is determined, by spectral regions, on the basis of the respective level difference so as to detect a coding error of the audio test signal in the spectral region concerned.

Title: Trellis shaping for modulation systems
Inventor: FORNEY G DAVID JR
IPC: H03M13/23
Filed: 1990-02-14
Abstract: In a so-called trellis shaping modulation system, instead of mapping a digital data sequence into a sequence of signal points drawn from a finite-dimensional signal point constellation as in typical coded modulation, the data sequence is mapped into a sequence of signal points drawn from a so-called trellis constellation of available infinite-dimensional sequences so that there is no single N-dimensional constellation used repeatedly in each N dimensions. The region occupied by the available sequences in sequence space is shaped to minimize the required power; i.e., preferably the region is an approximation to the Voronoi region of the trellis code (where the trellis code is not just a repeated lattice code).
