  • Patent number: 7796649
    Abstract: System and method for providing additional channels to an existing communications system. A preferred embodiment comprises a coprocessor (such as coprocessor 215) coupled to a modem (such as modem 205), wherein transmissions from the modem are routed to the coprocessor. The coprocessor then can insert transmissions that use the additional channels into the transmission from the modem. Timing consistency can be ensured by the coprocessor using scrambling and channelization codes that are provided by the modem. The use of the coprocessor can allow the use of an existing design for the modem rather than creating a new design when a revision to a technical standard is released, saving time and money for equipment manufacturers.

  • Patent number: 7600179
    Abstract: A method is provided to decode data encoded by any block code in a manner that substantially improves the error correction capability of the block codes, and that is independent of the encoder. The structure associated with the method desirably allows the testing of those hypotheses that are known to exist, such that one can use the a priori knowledge of the possible set of hypotheses to only search from among them. The method of decoding data is both advantageous and desirable since knowing the subset of the code word space that is being utilized in essence allows the distance between the code words to be increased yielding significant decoding benefits.
