Dynamic encoding rate control minimizes traffic congestion in a packet network

Abstract: This invention is suited for a packet network that carries bursty data. A mechanism is coupled to an edge node for coding bursty information into a digital format at either a first coding rate of a second coding rate which is less than the first rate. A mechanism senses traffic overload of one or more intermediate nodes carrying the bursty informaton. A mechanism which is responsive to the overload sensing mechanism causes the coding mechanism to switch from the first rate to the second rate while a traffic overload is sensed. Thus, network demand requirements are reduced and the overload will be alleviated.

Lattice and trellis-coded quantization

Abstract: Vectors are quantized by representing the vectors by quantized values using a codebook having granular regions which are based on a coset code, and which lie inside a boundary region which is based on another coset code, the boundary region being other than an N-cube and other than the Voronoi region of a sublattice Λ b =MΛ g of a lattic Λ g upon which the granular regions may have been based.

Congestion control for packet voice by selective packet discarding

Abstract: In order to reduce the time delays as well as multiplexer memory requirements in packet voice systems, a family of congestion control schemes is proposed. They are all based on the selective discarding of packets whose loss will produce the least degradation in quality of the reconstructed voice signal. A mathematical model of the system is analyzed and queue length distributions are derived. These are used to compute performance measures, including mean waiting time and fractional packet loss. Performance curves for some typical systems are presented, and it is shown that the control procedures can achieve significant improvement over uncontrolled systems, reducing the mean waiting time and total packet loss (at transmitting and receiving ends). Congestion control with a resume level is also analyzed, showing that without increasing the fractional packet loss, the mean and variance of the queue can be reduced by selecting an appropriate resume level. The performance improvements are confirmed by the results of some informal subjective testing. >

Adaptive communication rate modem

Abstract: In a modem that transmits signals to and receives signals from a remote device at a multiplicity of communication rates, the quality of the channel is monitored, a communication rate is selected based on the channel quality, the desire for an increased rate is indicated, and the increased rate is implemented by the modem when the remote device concurs.

Real-time vector APC speech coding at 4800 bps with adaptive postfiltering

Abstract: An improved Vector APC (VAPC) speech coder at 4800 bps produces speech with very good communications quality while maintaining a complexity low enough to allow a real-time implementation with at most two commercially available DSP chips. The VAPC algorithm combines APC with vector quantization and incorporates analysis-by-synthesis, perceptual noise weighting, and adaptive postfiltering. A novel adaptive postfiltering technique helps to achieve an essentially inaudible level of coding noise. Real-time software has been developed for an implementation using the AT&T DSP32 floating-point processor chip. The overall complexity of the implemented VAPC system is about 3 million multiply-adds/second of computation and 6 kwords of memory.
