In audio transmission applications, such as EFR among the GSM or AMR, physical constraint similar in normal speech is used.Physical constraint in the GSM application can comprise between the interior flatness of gain continuity and interframe or frame, audio frame or the tone continuity in the frame and/or linear spectral frequency (LSF) parameter and the continuity that is used to represent the amplitude position (format locations) of voice.And GSM uses can use redundancy, as CRC, as physical constraint.For example, in GSM used, the EFR coding can use 8 and 3 CRC, and the AMR coding can use 6 CRC, and GSM half rate (GSM-HR) coding can use 3 CRC.For example, in WCDMA used, adaptive multi-rate (AMR) coding can use 12 CRC.
Frame about decoder 100 is handled operation, and the other method that the convolutional encoding data are decoded is maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) algorithm.This method is used the priori statistics to the position, source, therefore can produce an one dimension prior probability P (bi), and bi is corresponding to the present bit in the bit sequence that will be encoded here.In order to determine the maximum a posteriori probability sequence, need to revise Viterbi transform matrix calculations result.Complicated and be separated by when far away as i and j when physical constraint, under the situation that the correlation between bi position and the bj position may be difficult for determining, this method may be difficult to realization.Under the high situation of parameter field correlation, the MAP algorithm may be difficult to realize.And when intrinsic redundancy, such as CRC, when being physical constraint a part of, the MAP algorithm can not use.
The maximum-likelihood sequence estimation of bit sequence (MLSE) may be a better choice concerning decoding convolutional encoding data.When R satisfied certain group physical constraint C (X), the peaked universal method of conditional probability P (X/R) may still be difficult to realize concerning MLSE.Put from this, effectively solution may need a sub-optimum solution, and this scheme will be considered the complexity and the enforcement of physical constraint.Following example shows the application of multilayer solution, and it is applied to physical constraint in the decoding processing of voice data of GSM effectively.
Fig. 4 A is according to one embodiment of the invention, the flow chart of the example steps of redundancy application in multilayer is handled.According to Fig. 4 A, after beginning step 402, enter step 404, the receiver among Figure 1A can use viterbi algorithm decoding received frame in frame processing module 106.In step 406,, can determine a redundant validation parameter such as CRC at decoded frame.In step 408, receiver 100 can determine whether the CRC validation test is successful.After CRC checking decoded frame, receiver 100 can carry out step 412, accepts decoded frame.After step 412, receiver proceeds to end step 414.
Return step 408, if the CRC validation test of decoded frame failure, receiver 100 can proceed to step 410, in step 410, receiver 100 is carried out redundant arithmetic, compared with the standard of use viterbi algorithm, utilizes this redundant arithmetic can obtain equating or decoding error still less.After the step 410, receiver can proceed to end step 414.
For example, GSM is used, redundant arithmetic can comprise that search also satisfies the MLSE of CRC condition and voice constraint.From this point, k bit sequence collection S1, S2 ..., Sk} can determine from the MLSE that satisfies the CRC constraint.In case the k sequence sets determines that an optimal sequence Sb who also satisfies GSM audio frequency or voice constraint also is determined.
Fig. 4 B is according to one embodiment of the invention, is applied to the flow chart of the bounding algorithm example steps of received frame.According to Fig. 4 B, when step 408 in Fig. 4 A li during to the CRC authentication failed of decoded frame, the receiver 100 among Figure 1A can proceed to step 422.In step 422, will suppose that counter is set to initial count value to indicate first hypothesis, for example, is considered.For example, the initial value at step 422 counter can be 0.After step 422, iteration count is set to the initial count value of step 424, to indicate first maximum likelihood solution.For example, the initial count value of step 424 can be 0.In step 426, determine the CRC of decoded frame.
In step 428, receiver 100 determines whether the CRC validation test is successful under current hypothesis.When the CRC checking is unsuccessful, proceed to step 432.In step 432, the iteration count counting increases.After the step 432, in step 434, receiver 100 judges that whether the value of iteration count is less than preset limit value.When iteration count value during more than or equal to preset limit value, proceed to step 446, produce a bad frame indication.When iteration count value during less than preset limit value, proceed to step 436, determine next maximum likelihood solution.After the step 436, proceed to 426, determine the CRC of decoded frame according to the maximum likelihood solution of determining in the step 426.
Get back to step 428, when CRC is proved to be successful, proceed to step 430.In step 430, suppose that the rolling counters forward value increases.In step 438, receiver 100 determines that whether the hypothesis counter is less than preset limit value afterwards.When supposing Counter Value less than preset limit value, proceed to step 424, the iteration count value is changed to initial value.When the hypothesis Counter Value equals preset limit value, carry out step 440, the best hypothesis of intrafascicular approximately selection from the source.
After the step 440, in step 442, receiver 100 determines whether the best hypothesis of selecting is abundant when receiving decoded frame in step 440.When selected hypothesis is enough abundant, in the time of accepting decoded frame, proceed to step 444, receive decoded frame.When the hypothesis of selecting is abundant inadequately, proceed to step 446, produce a bad frame indication.After step 444 or the step 446, proceed to the end step 414 among Fig. 4 A.
Fig. 5 A is according to one embodiment of the invention, satisfies the example steps flow chart of the T hypothesis search procedure of CRC constraint.According to Fig. 5 A, search tree 500 is relevant with the exemplary sequence search procedure, and the estimation bit sequence collection of the simplification that this process can produce from the Viterbi operation is initial.From this point, lastrow is corresponding to N the mesh node collection that can be produced by the Viterbi operation. and chief series tolerance (metric) and chief series node are measured and can be obtained from Viterbi calculating.The tolerance of other sequence can from source (parent) sequence measurement and node tolerance and obtain.Each mesh node all represents with oblique line, and corresponding to the estimation bit sequence that obtains from the Viterbi operation.The estimation bit sequence of lastrow does not satisfy the CRC constraint.In redundant arithmetic, estimation bit sequence collection can be chosen from first row.As shown in the figure, can from N mesh node, choose 10 and estimate bit sequence.Choose 10 estimate that bit sequences add stain in the ending of oblique line and represent.From this point, select to can be depending on tolerance (metric) parameter, in some cases, metric parameter can comprise channel metrics part and physical constraint tolerance part.
The T hypothesis search procedure that satisfies the CRC be used for GSM or redundant validation parameter may be from selecting have the mesh node of maximal metric value.In this example, node 6 has maximum metric, and therefore from then on the process of searching for puts beginning.Node 6 can generate the new branch or the row of search tree 500, and reviews pointer and can be used for reviewing search operation.New branch or row can finally generate 3 additional estimation bit sequences or 3 node 11-13.The result is, will be at the minimum node of three metrics of lastrow by jettisoning, and standardized little thick stick is represented on the stain of oblique line ending.Next, new branch or row are that CRC is proved to be successful.As shown in the figure, the CRC authentication failed of new branch, from node with maximal metric value or shown in node 12 produce next branch.In this example, satisfy the CRC constraint, and search procedure can turn back to next maximal metric value node in the lastrow from the branch that node 12 produces.The estimation bit sequence relevant with node 12 can be selected as the k sequence sets S1, S2 ..., one of bit sequence of Sk}.
Node 4 is represented the next maximal metric value after the lastrow node 6, and new branch or row can produce from node 4.In this example, new branch satisfy CRC constraint and the estimation bit sequence relevant with node 4 can be chosen as the k sequence sets S1, S2 ..., one of bit sequence of Sk}.This method can be performed until the limit that exceeds the k sequence sets or finish from the search that the selection node of all remainders begins.From this point, in search procedure, can calculate a plurality of pointers of reviewing.The k sequence sets S1, S2 ..., the length of Sk} can be different.
Fig. 5 B is according to one embodiment of the invention, the schematic diagram of typical bumper content in the search procedure shown in Fig. 5 A.Content of buffer 510 has been shown among Fig. 5 B, and it is relevant with the mark of the node considered in the search procedure.For example, initial 10 nodes are relevant in state 512 and the search operation.From this point, node 6 is (highlighted) that give prominence to, and indicating it corresponding to the highest metric, and it is the starting point of new branch or row.State 514 is corresponding to next 10 nodal sets.In this example, node 3,9 and 10 is replaced by the node 11,12 in the branch that is generated by node 6 and 13.Node 12 is given prominence to, and to indicate it corresponding to the highest metric, is the starting point of new branch or row.State 516 is corresponding to next 10 nodal sets.Node 4 is given prominence to, and to indicate it corresponding to the highest metric, is the starting point of new branch or row.Calculate to review search procedure reviewing pointer at each state.
Fig. 5 C is according to one embodiment of the invention, in the search procedure shown in Fig. 5 A, and when calculating CRC simultaneously and reviewing pointer, the schematic diagram of typical bumper content.Content of buffer 520 among Fig. 5 C is corresponding to the mark of the node of considering in the search procedure and calculate corresponding to CRC.Shown in Fig. 5 C, but content of buffer 520 is according to current state changing content.For state 522, state 524 and state 526, its content is corresponding to the current node of being considered, respectively with Fig. 5 B in the content of state 512, state 514 and state 516 be identical.Yet, in order to simplify the search procedure of T hypothesis, the CRC of these states and review pointer and may be calculated simultaneously.This method is possible, because the form that CRC can summation (biRi) is calculated.Here Ri is the remainder of xi/g (x), and g (x) is the generator polynomial of CRC, and bi is the value of an i.The CRC metric of each sequence can be held or be stored in the content of buffer 520.The CRC metric can obtain with the form of the summation of biRi value the position to the end from node, and also can source (parent) sequence C RC metric summation and the form of the summation of biRi value from node to its source (parent) node determine.If the CRC metric equates that with the summation of biRi value from first to node then sequence satisfies the CRC condition.For example, the value of Ri can exist in the question blank.
In case k sequence sets { S1, S2, Sk} determines by following as the search procedure described in Fig. 5 A-5C, redundant arithmetic can need the receiver 100 among Fig. 1 to select a bit sequence as optimum bit sequence Sb, and Sb is corresponding to the bit sequence of the physical constraint that satisfies CRC constraint and top secret level here.This optimum bit sequence also can be described as the decoding carry-out bit sequence that multilayer is handled.
To the k sequence sets S1, S2 ..., each the candidate bit sequence among the Sk}, carry out the test of a different set of physical constraint Test (j) ..., Test (T1) }.Physical constraint test is corresponding to the test to the quantization characteristic of the type of the received data of concrete application.The mark of the physical constraint test of i bit sequence, T_SC (i, j) ... T_SC (I, T1) }, can be used for determining that whether this bit sequence is by a fc-specific test FC.For example, (i j)>0 o'clock, illustrates that i bit sequence failed in j physical constraint test, and (i j)<=0 o'clock, illustrates that i bit sequence passed through j physical constraint and tested as T_SC as T_SC.In some concrete instances, the value of test result hour, the reliability of mark increases.
In case physical constraint test is used to candidate's estimation bit sequence, can follow following demonstration methods: when mark on the occasion of the time, the candidate bit sequence is rejected; For specific physical constraint, can find candidate bit sequence with the best or minimum score value; The most repeatedly testing mid-score all is that best candidate bit sequence is chosen as optimum bit sequence Sb.
[51] table 1 is an an example of the present invention, uses the test set { Test (1), Test (2), Test (3) and Test (4) } of 4 physical constraints to test 5 candidates' bit sequence collection { S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5} here.Mark is listed in the form, whether to identify each candidate bit sequence by different tests.In this example because the value of corresponding Test (2) and Test (4) be on the occasion of, so S2 and S4 are rejected.Bit sequence S3 is minimum at test Test (1), Test (3) and Test (4) mid-score, therefore is chosen as optimum bit sequence Sb.
