  • Modem using a digital signal processor and separate transmit and receive sequencers
    Patent number: 6711206
    Abstract: A modem uses separate receive and transmit modules. A receive sequencer and a transmit sequencer operate relatively autonomously but share state information with each other using a common data area. The sequencers are coded so as to execute without any branching. A signal based command language is used to specify the properties of signals handled by the modem.

  • Multi-modem implementation with host based and digital signal processor based modems
    Patent number: 6708235
    Abstract: A plurality of modems or modem types can run on a host processor, a digital signal processor or both, either concurrently or selectively. Modules of more than one modem program can be swapped in and out of DSP memory space. Common modem code can be run on either a host processor or on a DSP using respective command libraries.

  • Integrated audio and modem device
    Patent number: 6661848
    Abstract: An audio modem provides both the functionality needed for audio processing and that needed for implementing one or more modems. A digital signal processor utilizes a plurality of serial ports to interface with one or more codecs used for interfacing an analog audio channel and with one or more modem codecs used for interfacing an analog communications channel.

  • Modem using batch processing of signal samples
    Patent number: 6625208
    Abstract: A communications modem, having a processor, interacts with an analog to digital converter and with a digital to analog converter (codec) and does batch processing of samples from the communications line and batch processing of samples from the host to be applied to the communications line. The batch processing lowers the processing rate needed for the modem processor.

  • Integrated audio and modem device
    Patent number: 6611555
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a modem provides functionality for audio processing and for implementing a modem. A digital signal processor is connected to one or more audio codecs to interface with an analog audio channel, and is connected to one or more modem codecs and a data access arrangement to interface with a communications channel.

  • Modem instructions sequentially alternating executions between sending a predetermined number of symbols by a transmit sequencer and receiving by a receive sequencer
    Patent number: 6557061
    Abstract: A modem is implemented using a host processor or DSP and has execution code for implementing respective receive and transmit functionality which execute without any branching. Coordination of receive and transmit functionality is achieved using state indications in a common data area. Operation without branching eliminates the need for machine cycles associated with branching.

  • Modem with code execution adapted to symbol rate
    Patent number: 6502138
    Abstract: A modem adapts to the symbol rate received over a communications line or to the rate needed for sending over that line. The adaptation occurs as a result of using a symbol based command set. Processing resources are committed as symbols arrive or as symbols need to be sent.

  • Modem using a digital signal processor and a signal based command set
    Patent number: 6490628
    Abstract: Modems are implemented using a language made of instructions or commands which are based on the types of signals needed to be generated or processed by the modem. That is, the commands are individually tailored to specify the signals to be sent or processed. The modems can be implemented on a digital signal processor or on a host. The language permits a terseness of expression resulting in smaller code, makes it easy to express the needed manipulations required for modem functionality and permits faster execution.
