Title: Method and system for evaluating radio coverage
Inventor: BALLARD KENNETH ALAN
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2006-07-07
Abstract: A system and method for testing radio coverage of a land mobile radio system. The system configuration generally employs a fixed unit, a mobile unit and the two-way radio system (not part of the invention) subject to testing. The test system and method are compatible with any land-mobile radio system (conventional, trunked, using proprietary or standards-based protocols, FDMA or TDMA) operating in any frequency band. One of three methods may be selected to perform testing at any one time: continuous testing, grid testing or receive-only testing. In the continuous and grid modes, both the talk-out and talk-in paths are measured. Test results are recorded in a computer file after being converted to a digital format, and are compared to an original "reference file" via the Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) algorithm as defined by ITU-T standard P.862. The PESQ output is then converted to a Delivered Audio Quality (DAQ) score by application of an empirical set of weighting factors to certain of the PESQ parameters.

Inventor: GUTIERREZ NOVELO MANUEL RAFAEL
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2004-02-27
Abstract: Changes have been made to current MPEG2 coders by making software and hardware changes in different parts of the coding process with the aim of obtaining three-dimensional images in a digital video stream. The video sequence structures of the video data stream are modified in order to include the necessary flags that identify the type of TDVision® technology image at bit level. Software modifications are made in the processes relating to the heading of the video sequence, modification of the identification flags, modification of data fields, modification of image fields. An electronic comparison between left channel and right channel images is carried out in the hardware. The difference is processed as a B-type image, namely an error correction is carried out. The result is stored in the buffer memory with the TDVision® technology identifier. During information coding, a DSP is used, wherein said DSP performs the processes of predicting, comparing, quantifying and applies the DCT function in order to form the compacted MPEG2-compatible video stream.
