Abstract: A method of demapping in a receiver including deriving M intermediate soft bit values yj for the I and Q data of the input signal as a function of the spacing in the constellation; and limiting the range of the M values yj. A look-up table index is derived for each of the limited M values yj. A look-up table, having 2N+1 entries for supporting up to N soft bit outputs, is indexed using the derived indices; and K soft bits for each of the M values yj of the I and Q data are outputted.

Abstract: A codec detects congestion in a packet network and responds via a session control protocol to re-negotiate codec-type and/or parameters with the receiving codec to reduce bit rate for supporting a session. Once the connection and session are established, encoded packets start flowing between the two codecs. A control entity sends and receives network congestion control packets periodically in the session. The congestion control packets provide a “heartbeat” signal to the receiving codec. When the network is not congested, all “heartbeat” packets will be passed through the network. As network congestion increases, routers within the network discard excess packets to prevent network failure. The codecs respond to the missing packets by slowing down the bit rate or proceeding to renegotiate a lower bit rate via the session control protocol. If there are no missing packets, the codecs detect if the session is operating at the highest bit rate, and if not, re-negotiate a higher bit rate.

Abstract: An electrical card connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing, a slide carrier slidable in the insulative housing, an eject mechanism mounted in the insulative housing for pushing the slide carrier, and a locking body attached to the slider for locking the slier carrier with the slider together while an electrical card is inserted into therein. The locking body defines an engaging portion protruding into the insertion slot. The engaging portion is deflectable to release locking engagement between the slider and the slide carrier while another electrical card being inserted into the insertion slot.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for facilitating inter-digital signal processing (DSP) data communications. A direct memory access (DMA) controller may be configured to facilitate transfers of data between a first and a second DSP processor core coupled to the DMA controller. The DMA controller may read a data structure, referred to as a “buffer descriptor block,” to perform the data transfer. The buffer descriptor block may store both a source address and a destination address indicating where the data is to be retrieved and stored. The buffer descriptor block may further store a value, e.g., number of bytes, indicating a size of the data to be transferred. The DMA controller may then transfer the data located at the source address in the first DSP processor core, with a size, e.g., number of bytes, indicated from the buffer descriptor block, to the destination address in the second DSP processor core.

Abstract: An analog TV receiver implementation on DSP allows mobile platforms to view analog TV broadcasting on LCD displays. The analog television receiver includes a demodulator for demodulating a received analog television signal, an analog to digital converter for digitizing the demodulated television signal and a digital signal processor for producing display signals from the digitized television signals. The digital signal processor being programmed to search for a horizontal synchronization signal in the television signal, track the horizontal synchronization signal and search for a vertical synchronization signal in the television signal. Next the processor separates a luminance and a pair of chrominance components of the television signal and demodulates the pair of chrominance components. Red, green and blue values are constructed from the demodulated chrominance components and the luminance components. Display signals are produced from the red, green and blue values.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding a coded data stream of bits using an inner decoder, deinterleaver and an outer decoder. The outer decoder first decodes by error correction decoding for r errors per word. The decoding is terminated and a decoded word is outputted if the syndromes of the corrected word of the first decoding are all zeros. If the syndromes of the corrected word of the first decoding are not all zeros, a second decoding is performed by error decoding and erasure for the number of errors reduced by one and the number of erasures increased to two. The decoding is terminated and a decoded word is outputted if the syndromes of the corrected word of the second decoding are all zeros. If the syndromes of the corrected word of the second decoding are not all zeros, the second decoding by correcting and erasure decoding is repeated for the number of errors reduced by one and the number of erasures increased by two for each iteration of the second decoding.
