Title: Optical communications
Inventor: KEVIN SMITH
IPC: H04B10/079
Filed: 2016-04-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of indirectly determining the optical signal-noise ratio (OSNR) of an optical fibre communications link. In a test environment (Fig. 4), the relationship between OSNR and bit error rate (BER) is determined for a transmitter (410, Fig. 4) connected to a receiver (450, Fig. 4). This relationship may take the form of a graph of BER vs OSNR (see e.g. Fig. 4). When a transmitter and receiver of the type measured in the test environment are connected across an optical communications link (Fig. 9) then the BER can be measured and the OSNR of the communications link can be inferred from the pre-determined OSNR-BER relationship. The OSNR value can then be used to select a modulation format or other transmission parameter. Preferably the BER is pre-FEC BER, i.e. it is measured before forward error correction.

Title: Noise suppressor
Inventor: HOLLY FRANCOIS
IPC: G10L21/0272
Filed: 2016-07-12
Abstract: Transmission end noise is suppressed in eg. a mobile phone by producing from an input audio signal 14 a first signal 16 which undergoes a first process 6 (eg. aggressive noise suppression using a delay and a Weiner filter which spatially separates speech and noise into different headphones or speakers) and a second signal 18 which undergoes a second process 8 (eg. comprising gentle or no noise suppression). Thus, even though overall noise might not be reduced, spatial separation renders the audio more intelligible. The receiver 4 may comprise an Enhanced Voice Services Decoder.
