  • Patent number: 8726203
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a test bench for testing a requirement is described. According to an embodiment, a test bench generator subsystem automatically chooses a test template based on a user specification of a requirement to be tested. The requirement is automatically associated with information such as parameters, context identifiers, and success criteria. The subsystem automatically generates a test bench data construct for a simulation that will test the requirement and evaluate success or failure. In an embodiment, generating the test bench includes automatically choosing a system model for the test bench.

  • Publication number: 20100199142
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of creating an LDPC code that is defined by a parity-check matrix H. The parity-check matrix H is derived from a (0,1)-geometry which is induced by a finite inversive space. This inversive space has an order q where every circle in the inversive space contains exactly q+1 points, q is preferably even, and most preferably equal to 2. Where the inversive space has a dimension n. Where the (0,1)-geometry is formed as a derived geometric structure based on pencils of degree m?n in the inversive space. The method includes construction of a binary K by N matrix H labelled by K circles and N pencils of the inversive space, wherein the (i, j)-entry of the matrix is 1 if circle i belongs to pencil j, and 0 otherwise. If the degree of the pencil is given by 2 then the parity-check matrix H needs to be transposed, i.e. HT is used instead of H. A method of transmitting a message, a coder, a decoder and a data transmission system using such codes are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7230919
    Abstract: During voice-over-Internet-protocol calls, data are gathered about packet loss on the path over the IP network. An algorithm (in the preferred embodiment, the Sliding Window Exponential Average Algorithm) is used to evaluate the packet loss. The Sliding Window Exponential Average Algorithm allows for past performance to be considered along with current performance. If the resulting evaluation fails to meet predetermined criteria, the path over the IP network is blocked and calls are routed over an alternative.
