  • Patent number: 7756050
    Abstract: A method and system for providing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in a wireless communications system using a Packet Data Conversion Protocol (PDCP) with enhanced functionality that allows sub-packets to be processed for transmission over different Radio Bearers (RB) with unequal or different levels of error protection and/or error detection based on perceptual importance of the bits in the sub-packets. The enhanced PDCP being operable to partition a packet into a plurality of sub-packets such that different levels of error protection and/or error detection may be applied to the packet. An overall gain in system capacity can be expected due to transmit power savings provided via unequal error detection and error protection.

  • Patent number: 6856625
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the information error rate of a communication network. The apparatus comprises a selector device coupled to a Framer and to an Interleaver. The selector device is configured to receive system information and the Framer is configured to receive user information. The apparatus is coupled to equipment which operate the communication network based on system parameters. The apparatus and method of the present invention improve the coding and effectively increase the interleaving depth applied to user information thus reducing the information error rate of the communication network without having to alter or modify any of the system parameters.

  • Patent number: 6771592
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting and recovering from missed control words that signify a transition to or from a speech mode to a data mode in a communication channel. When in a speech mode, speech information is checked for errors. If an error is detected, the next frame or segment of information is assumed to be data information. The data information is examined for valid information such as a valid header. If a valid header is detected, data mode is assumed and if a valid header is not detected, speech mode is assumed.
