  • Patent number: 6711223
    Abstract: A wireless digital telephone system containing at least one emulated base station plus one or more subscriber stations, the emulated base station comprising a station similar to the subscriber station but having the capability of initiating a synchronization process whereby it is enabled to assign time slots to the subscriber station within the frame pattern of an amplitude signal by means of monitoring for positive edges in the signal.

  • Publication number: 20030144836
    Abstract: Voiceband compression techniques are employed in order to enable an RF telecommunications base station to accommodate data signals of high speed voiceband modems and FAX machines. An Ultra-High Speed Codec supports voiceband modem and FAX transmissions up to 14.4 kb/s and operates using four 16-phase RF slots. Because these codecs transmit information over several RF slots which can be contiguous, the slots within RF communication channels are dynamically allocated. The Dynamic Time slot/Bandwidth Allocation feature detects and monitors the data transmission and forms a data channel from the necessary number of slots.

  • Patent number: 6574207
    Abstract: Two related voiceband compression techniques are employed in order to enable an RF telecommunications subscriber unit to accommodate data signals of high speed voiceband modems and FAX machines. A High Speed Codec enables the subscriber unit to pass voiceband modem and FAX transmissions at up to 9.6 kb/s. An Ultra-High Speed Codec supports voiceband modem and FAX transmissions up to 14.4 kb/s. The High Speed Codec operates using three 16-phase RF slots or four 8-phase RF slots, and the Ultra-High Speed Codec operates using four 16-phase RF slots. Because these codecs transmit information over several RF slots which can be contiguous, the slots within RF communication channels are dynamically allocated. The Dynamic Time slot/Bandwidth Allocation feature detects and monitors the data transmission and forms a data channel from the necessary number of slots.

  • Publication number: 20030016815
    Abstract: A method of echo cancellation for a signal transmission system in which the size of the step used to adapt filter coefficients is adjusted in accordance with the echo delay and in which stationary signals are avoided by determining when the mean and variance of coefficients obtained from a second order linear predictive coding analysis of successive far end samples exceed preset thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20030012358
    Abstract: A DFT is used to compute the magnitude and phase of the frequencies desired to be detected in a frame of sampled data by performing 2 dot products for each such frequency. The two dot products are calculated using the samples in the frame and an equal number of equally spaced cosine and sine coefficients for each frequency to be detected.
