Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to two-­way radio communication systems. More specifically, the present invention pertains to maintaining bit synchronization of a digital data stream transmitted over a radio frequency (RF) channel in a mobile radiotelephone system.
  • RF radio frequency
  • One general goal of mobile radiotelephone systems is to provide system features corresponding to those of the landline telephone systems to which they interconnect.
  • One such feature is the transmission of data from one location to another.
  • Many telephone subscribers connect data communications devices, such as computer terminals, to the telephone system via a modem.
  • modems convert the digital data to distinct tones or tone/phase relationships which can be transmitted by the landline telephone network.
  • a desired feature would be to have the ability to connect such devices, via a modem, through the landline telephone network, to a radiotelephone subscriber unit having a similar data communications device.
  • a second feature of landline telephone systems which subscribers of a radiotelephone system desire is that of security of their conversations.
  • Digital scrambling techniques which render a message unintelligible to prevent unauthorized reception, have been disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,167,700; 4,434,323; and 4,440,976; each assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
  • a voice message is digitized and processed through an encryption device to produce a signal that is random or pseudo-random in nature, thus appearing noise-like to the unauthorized receiver.
  • the particular encryption algorithm used by the encryption device may be a proprietary algorithm, or may be based on a Government standard (e.g. D.E.S.).
  • Additional obstacles must be overcome in order to accomplish secure voice communications via digital encryption of speech in a radiotelephone system.
  • the aforementioned signalling requirements of the radiotelephone system must be addressed. This typically translates into additional overhead data words that must be transmitted concurrently with the digital voice signals.
  • digital speech at 9.6 kilobits per second (kbps) may be combined at the mobile unit with 400 bps signalling information and transmitted over the RF channel at a 10 kbps data rate, as described in the aforementioned related applications.
  • the base site unit removes the signalling word and sends only the 9.6 kbps digital voice to the landline user.
  • a standard 9.6 kbps modem can then be used to transmit the data over the telephone line, which appears to solve the problem.
  • a second scrambling technique, the counter address (CA) mode of encryption, does not suffer from the error multiplication problem characteristic of the CFB-­mode operation.
  • Counter addressing means that the device implementing the selected encryption algorithm is fed a pseudo-random sequence to generate the key stream, which is used to encrypt the plain text message. In this way, the encryption device is "addressed" by the pseudo-­random counter.
  • continuous bit synchronization from the scrambler to the descrambler is required to allow proper operation of the CA-mode descrambler key generator without requiring periodic key generator data transfers. Continuous bit synchronization, as used herein, means that the number of bits into the transmission channel is equal to the number of bits recovered from the channel, and that the average data rate into the channel is equal to the average data rate out of the channel.
  • Bit synchronization over an RF transmission path is very difficult to maintain, primarily due to Rayleigh fading. Any method of continuous bit synchronization must withstand RF phase jumps, channel fading, drift between RF and landline modem clocks, and bit slippage due to an out-of-lock phase-locked loop (PLL) at the mobile or base site.
  • PLL phase-locked loop
  • CFB-mode encryption may be used with its error multiplication and range reduction limitations.
  • a further problem involves maintaining bit synchronization through standard modems which typically have tight specifications with respect to clock and data input tolerances.
  • a standard V.32 modem requires a 9.6 K +/-100 parts-per-million (ppm) input data rate.
  • ppm parts-per-million
  • a general object of the present invention is to provide a method and means for maintaining continuous bit synchronization of data transmitted via an RF channel.
  • Another object of the present invention is to maintain such continuous bit synchronization for encrypted digital speech without requiring additional overhead synchronization words.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide such bit synchronization while maintaining compatibility with standard landline modems.
  • An input data stream such as digitized or encrypted speech
  • An input data stream is accepted at a first bit rate along with a plurality of signalling words containing system signalling information.
  • the signalling words are then interleaved with a predetermined number of data bits of the input data stream to provide a combined data message having a second, typically higher, bit rate, which is transmitted and received via the data transmission path.
  • a clock is recovered from the received data message through the use of a phase-locked loop, which may have unlocked during an RF fade.
  • the signalling words are then separated from the received data message, thus leaving raw data words having an instantaneous data rate corresponding to the recovered clock.
  • the number of bits in the raw data word is then modified to approximate the predetermined number of data bits originally interleaved with the signalling words.
  • the recovered clock rate is also modified to correspond to the first bit rate, by adding and deleting clock pulses.
  • the modified clock and data are fed into an elastic buffer which time-­aligns the data bits with a stabilized clock rate, thereby providing an output data stream which is not only in bit synchronization with in input data stream, but is also modem compatible.
  • analog speech at the mobile is converted to a 9.6 kbps data stream by sub-band coding (SBC), encrypted, and fed into a "formatter” device.
  • Digital signalling words comprising 21 bits of 400 bps data, are then periodically added to 504 bits of the encrypted speech data and transmitted over the RF channel as 10 kbps Manchester-encoded data.
  • the ratio of 10/9.6 is equal to (504+21)/504, such that the 10 kHz and 9.6 kHz data clocks may be locked to each other to maintain bit synchronization upon transmission.
  • the 10 kbps Manchester data is decoded at the base site, where the 400 bps signalling word is detected, decoded, and stripped off in a "reformatter” device.
  • the reformatter outputs 504 data bits between signalling word detects even if a fade caused too many or too few data bits to be received. Thus, although the data may be erroneous if the PLL slipped a bit upon clock recovery, complete bit synchronization with the mobile is maintained.
  • the resulting 10 kbps data bursts of encrypted speech are subsequently fed into an elastic buffer, which outputs a 9.6 kHz clock and 9.6 kbps data in continuous bit synchronization with the 9.6 kHz clock in the mobile, but not phase-locked.
  • These clock and data signals are then suitable for a standard modem pair to send over the land telephone lines.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates multi-site radio system 100 which may be used with the present invention.
  • the system is essentially comprised of mobile unit 110 and/or portable unit 140, base station unit 120, and landline unit 130.
  • a portable unit is defined as a radio typically carried about a person; a mobile unit is carried in vehicles; and a base station unit is typically a permanent or semi-permanent installation at a fixed location.
  • Mobile units and portable units are hereinafter collectively referred to as remote units.
  • the present invention was intended for use in a cellular mobile radiotelephone system in which all stations transmit and receive in the duplex mode, it is contemplated that receive-only or transmit-only devices may be readily implemented.
  • Such receive-only devices capable of operating in communication system 100 include, but are not limited to, data display pagers, tone pagers or tone-and-voice pagers. For purposes of understanding the operation of the present invention, such receive-only and transmit-only devices are illustrated in Figure 1.
  • Remote units 110 and 140 communicate with base unit 120 via radio frequency (RF) channels.
  • RF radio frequency
  • the channels may be allocated according to geographical divisions (cellular radiotelephone systems), time divisions (time-division multiplex systems), or frequency divisions (frequency-­division multiplex systems).
  • geographical divisions cellular radiotelephone systems
  • time divisions time-division multiplex systems
  • frequency divisions frequency-­division multiplex systems
  • mobile unit 110 generates speech or data to be transmitted to land unit 130 in mobile terminal 112.
  • This terminal generates an information signal, such as an analog voice signal or a digital data signal, to signal processor block 114.
  • This block which will be more fully described in Figure 2, converts the analog voice to a digital data stream, adds signalling overhead, and outputs the combined data message to transmitter 116.
  • Transmitter 116 may be any suitable transmitter compatible with the chosen system format.
  • a mobile terminal and transmitter which may be used in the present invention is described in Motorola instruction manual 68P81070E40 entitled "Dyna T ⁇ A ⁇ C ⁇ Cellular Mobile Telephone".
  • the combined signalling/data message is transmitted over the RF channel via mobile antenna 118 and received at base antenna 122.
  • Base transceiver 124 receives the transmitted data message by demodulating the RF carrier in a manner compatible with the system implementation.
  • a representative base station transceiver is described in the Motorola instruction manual 68P81052E50 entitled "Dyna T ⁇ A ⁇ C ⁇ System Fixed Network Equipment".
  • the received data message is then applied to signal processor 126. Again, the signal processor circuitry will be described fully in conjunction with Figure 2. Basically, however, signal processor 126 decodes the received data message, recovers the clock from the data message, removes the signalling words from the message, and buffers the data and clock to be applied to modem 128.
  • modem 128 is a V.32 full-duplex 9.6 kbps modem manufactured by Codex, a subsidiary of Motorola, Inc.
  • Modem 128 sends the received data message to modem 134 via landline 132.
  • Signal processor 136 of land unit 130 accepts the data message, descrambles any encrypted voice messages, and re-converts digitized speech to an analog waveform for use at land terminal 138. Therefore, it can now be appreciated that any bit synchronization technique utilized must be compatible with RF transmission paths as well as landline transmission paths.
  • Portable unit 140 operates in a similar fashion.
  • Land terminal 138 generates, and signal processor 136 encrypts, a digital message which is sent via modem 134 through landline 132 to base site 120.
  • Signal processor 126 adds signalling overhead to the data obtained from modem 128.
  • Transceiver 124 of the base site then transmits the message via the RF path to portable antenna 142, and the data message is received at portable receiver 144.
  • Signal processor 146 then performs the reformatting and buffering functions of base unit signal processor 126, as well as the decryption and speech conversion functions of land unit signal processor 138.
  • Portable terminal 148 like land terminal 138, accepts the received data message and suitably presents it to the user.
  • a representative receiver and portable terminal may be found in Motorola instruction manual 68P81071E55 entitled "Dyna T ⁇ A ⁇ C ⁇ 8500XL Cellular Portable Telephone".
  • Figure 2 illustrates the signal processor blocks 114, 126, 136 of mobile unit 110, base unit 120 and land unit 130, respectively.
  • signal processor 146 is similar in function and operation to a combination of signal processor 126 and 136, and thus need not be independently shown.
  • the following description of the preferred embodiment is illustrative of 9.6 kbps signal processing of speech for radio frequency transmission.
  • the present invention may also be used at any data rate on various types of input signals over other transmission mediums.
  • Analog speech is applied to input terminal 202 of signal processor 114 of the mobile.
  • Analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 210 transforms the analog waveform into a 9.6 kbps data stream at 212, using the 9.6 kHz clock signal at 206.
  • A/D 210 may be any suitable device which provides a digital representation of the voice signal, such as: a Continuously Variable Slope Delta (CVSD) modulator, e.g., an HC-55516/55532 device manufactured by Harris Semiconductor; or a sub-band coder (SBC), such as described in the article by R.E. Crochiere and J.L. Flanagan entitled "Sub-Band Coding of Speech", International Conference on Communications 1977 , vol.
  • CVSD Continuously Variable Slope Delta
  • SBC sub-band coder
  • Mobile reference oscillator 204 generates the stable 9.6 kHz clock signal, which is available via line 206 to various blocks of the mobile. Oscillator 204 may also be used with the mobile's RF carrier-generating circuitry.
  • the digital speech signal at 212 is applied to encrypter 220, which digitally scrambles the information signal producing a random or pseudo-random encrypted signal at line 222 for use by formatter 230.
  • Any digital encryption device may be used as encrypter 220. However, to achieve the full advantages of the present invention, the encryption device should operate in the counter-­addressing mode or the output-feedback mode.
  • Phase-locked loop (PLL) 214 generates a second clock signal on line 216 that is synchronized with the mobile oscillator clock signal on line 206.
  • the 9.6 kHz input clock could be phase-locked to a 10 kHz output clock via tapping off of various divider networks in the PLL.
  • oscillator 204 and PLL 214 could be replaced by a single high frequency oscillator with various dividers to provide synchronized clocks of different frequencies. Either way, the 9.6 kHz and 10 kHz clocks must be in frequency synchronization.
  • Formatter 230 serves to interleave a predetermined number of data bits of the encrypted speech accepted from line 222 with an RF signalling word of a given length available from line 234.
  • 504 bits of speech data at 9.6 kbps are accepted as a data word, which is interleaved with a 21 bit RF signalling word taken from memory.
  • the number of data bits in the preferred embodiment was specifically chosen to accommodate a 10 kbps channel data rate, a 9.6 kbps input data rate, and a 21 bit signalling word.
  • the ratio of 504 data bits plus 21 signalling bits (525 bits), to 504 data bits, equals the ratio of the 10 kHz output clock at 216 to the 9.6 kHz input clock at 206.
  • the 10 kHz and 9.6 kHz data rates may be synchronized with each other.
  • the continuous 9.6 kbps input data rate is essentially added to a 400 bps "effective" signalling data rate and output as a 10 kbps output data rate.
  • the specific number of bits chosen to implement this scheme is not limited to the above numbers.
  • the concepts of the present invention may be applied to any data transmission system having similar digital signalling capabilities.
  • formatter 230 is performed in software in a microprocessor as described in Figures 4 and 5.
  • various hardware representations e.g., a time-controlled switch, may also be used.
  • the 10 kbps combined data message at 232 is clocked into encoder 240 by clock signal 216.
  • Encoder 240 functions to add the 10 kHz clock at 216 to the data for split-phase data transmission at 242 such that a clock signal may be more easily recovered at the receiver.
  • encoder 240 is a conventional Manchester data encoder such as the type described in Figure 6 of the aforementioned related applications.
  • NRZ non-­return-to-zero
  • GMSK Gaussian minimum-shift keying
  • the 10 kbps Manchester data at line 242 is applied to mobile transmitter 116 for transmission to the base unit.
  • the combined data message is applied to decoder 250 of base unit signal processor 126 via line 244.
  • Decoder 250 utilizes phase-locked loop 246 to recover the transmitted 10 kHz clock.
  • Base oscillator 256 applies a high frequency reference signal at 258 to PLL 246, which generates a 10 kHz clock signal to be phase-locked to the incoming 10 kHz Manchester-encoded data.
  • the phase-locked 10 kHz signal is then applied to decoder 250 via line 248 as the recovered clock signal.
  • the phase-locked 10 kHz clock is also applied to the reformatter via line 248.
  • Decoder 250 the compliment of encoder 240, decodes the combined data message and applies the decoded data to reformatter 260 via line 252.
  • a representative Manchester decoder is described in the article entitled “Drop Your Costs ... with a Manchester-­Data Decoder” by J.J. Norton, Electronic Design , July 19, 1979, pp. 110-16.
  • Reformatter 260 performs three basic functions: (1) removes the RF signalling word from the combined data message and sends it to RF signalling circuitry via line 266; (2) modifies the number of data bits between detected (or anticipated) signalling words to equal the number of data bits transmitted (i.e., 504), and outputs "raw” data words at 262; and (3) modifies the clock rate of the recovered clock signal at 254 to provide a "bursted" (raw) clock signal at 264 having an effective clock rate of 9.6 kHz.
  • the reformatter corrects the number of data bits between detected signalling words regardless of the actual number of bits received; since, if a fade occurs on the RF channel, PLL 246 could drift off frequency and provide too few or too many clocks. (See Figure 3.)
  • the signalling word correlator in the reformatter can again determine where the signalling word detect should be.
  • a window counter in the reformatter keeps track of where the signalling word should be, even if a fade causes several signalling words to be missed. If PLL 246 in the clock recovery circuit speeds up during the fade, too many bits will be received, and the signalling word will be detected later than expected. In this case, the reformatter corrects for this occurrence by deleting the appropriate number of data bits.
  • reformatter 260 outputs the correct number of data bits even if a fade caused too many or too few data bits to be received. The function of reformatter 260 is further described in Figures 6 and 7.
  • Raw data words each having an instantaneous 10 kbps data rate, are input from line 262 into elastic buffer 270.
  • the intermittent (“bursted") 10 kHz clock is also input to elastic buffer 270 via line 264.
  • Elastic buffer 270 functions to adjust both the clock and data rates to match the tight specifications required to input the data into modem 128. For example, if modem 128 was a V.32 full-duplex 9.6 kbps modem, output data at 272 and output clock 274 must be sent at precisely 9.6 kbps +/-­100 ppm (i.e., +/-0.96 Hz.).
  • the elastic buffer delays the data by performing the function of a variable length shift register.
  • the buffer attempts to keep the data in a middle range of the register by slowing down its 9.6 kHz output clock if the buffer size gets below a certain value, and by speeding up the 9.6 clock if the buffer size gets above a certain value.
  • the buffer matches the discontinuous 10 kHz clock to a continuous 9.6 kHz clock with a frequency that is locked to the effective 9.6 kbps data rate.
  • any frequency difference between the 9.6 kHz clock at the mobile and the 9.6 kHz clock in the elastic buffer is taken into account in this manner.
  • the frequency offset utilized in the elastic buffer must be wide enough to allow for the maximum frequency difference (due to drift) between the clocks, but not so wide as to exceed the frequency specification of the modem.
  • Elastic buffer 270 will be further described in Figure 8 et seq.
  • the 9.6 kbps encrypted data is then sent to the land unit signal processor 136 via modem 128, landline 132, and modem 134.
  • the 9.6 kHz data available at line 286 is descrambled via decrypter 280 utilizing the 9.6 kHz clock at 284 sent with the data.
  • the decryption algorithm used in decrypter 280 must, of course, correspond to the encryption algorithm of encrypter 220.
  • a decryption scheme illustrative of that used in the present invention is described in the previously-noted encryption references.
  • the plain text data stream at 282 is clocked into digital-to-analog (D/A) converter 290 via the clock signal at 284, and fed to land terminal 138 as analog speech via line 292.
  • D/A converter would be the aforementioned CVSD device.
  • the preferred embodiment utilizes a 21-bit correlation signalling word providing both frame synchronization and supervisory audio tone (SAT) information.
  • Various 21-bit correlator words have been developed for the combined SAT/SYNC (S/S) function in the preferred embodiment.
  • the chosen correlator words provide high autocorrelation properties (i.e., a 21-bit match when the word is aligned in the correlator and less than or equal to a 2-bit match when the word is not aligned), and low cross-correlation properties (less than or equal to a 6-bit match).
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,649,543 for a detailed description of the SAT/SYNC decoder. Hence, SAT is continuously sent by transmitting the proper signalling correlator word.
  • FIG. 3 various timing diagrams are shown to illustrate how the present invention corrects for slipped bits to maintain bit synchronization.
  • the various diagrams (A-F) of Figure 3 correspond to data signals at various points of Figure 2.
  • Figure 3A shows the encrypted data signal available to formatter 230 on line 222.
  • This formatter input signal consists of encrypted data at a constant 9.6 kbps data rate.
  • the formatter input is shown in the figure as consisting of repeating segments of 504 bits, no frame boundaries have yet been defined.
  • Figure 3B illustrates the combined signalling word/data word message at the formatter output 232 which is eventually transmitted at 10 kbps.
  • Formatter 230 has interleaved 21-bit signalling words (S/S) with 504 bits of the formatter input data stream.
  • One signalling word (S/S)/data word message unit is called a frame.
  • the frames repeat such that the formatter output is at a 10 kbps data rate.
  • the number of data bits, i.e., 504 was chosen as a function of the number of bits of signalling word required for the system, the input data rate, and the output data rate. In the preferred embodiment, these factors were predefined by system requirements.
  • 21-bits of 400 bps signalling information had to be combined with a predetermined number of 9.6 kbps data bits to provide an output message data rate of 10 kbps.
  • the ratio of 10 kbps/9.6 kbps determined the ratio of (504 + 21)/504.
  • Figure 3C illustrates the received message derived from the RF channel and applied to the decoder input via line 244.
  • the input data rate is that of the transmitted message, i.e. 10 kbps. If, however, an RF fade has occurred during transmission (see, for example, bits 2 through 5), two problems arise: (1) the information content of these faded bits is lost; and (2) the possibility exists that the clock recovery circuit could have drifted to cause bit slips. Each of these problems is addressed below.
  • the reformatter input at line 252 is illustrated in Figure 3D.
  • the figure illustrates the possibility of the phase-locked loop in the clock recovery circuit drifting during the fade. If, for example, the PLL clock slowed down, the drift would effectively stretch the length of bits 2 through 5 as shown. When the phase-­locked loop recovers lock, the content of bits 6 and 7, for example, would have been lost. Hence, the PLL drift has caused a bit slip of two bits. However, decoder 250 cannot indicate to reformatter 260 that a bit slip has occurred. Hence, if not corrected, this bit slip would propagate through the system to decrypter 280, which would then forever be out of bit synchronization with encrypter 220. Therefore, reformatter 260 provides the critical function of inserting or deleting bits to re-­synchronize the received message.
  • reformatter 260 performs this function by inputting a predetermined number of data bits after a signalling word correlation has been detected.
  • a window counter in reformatter 260 keeps track of where the signalling word detect should be even if the fade causes several signalling word detects to be missed. If the PLL speeds up during the fade, too many bits will be input to the reformatter, and the reformatter must delete the extra bits. If the PLL slows down during the fade, as illustrated in Figure 3D, too few bits will be input, and reformatter 260 must add additional bits to meet the required predetermined number. As illustrated in Figure 3E, these added bits are obtained from the first bits of the signalling word.
  • bits 2E-5E are output in their proper time slots (see Figure 3E).
  • bits 6 and 7 were lost due to the PLL drift, the following bits, 8, 9, ... 502, 503, 504 will subsequently be output as slipped bits.
  • an additional two bits of data, I1 and I2 are inserted after bit 504.
  • a total of 504 bits is always output from the reformatter between detected (or anticipated) signalling word correlations.
  • the elastic buffer output is illustrated in Figure 3F.
  • This timing diagram represents the output data stream available on line 272, which is eventually decrypted. Note that the data stream is time-aligned to maintain a tight-tolerance 9.6 kbps data rate. Further note that reformatter output bits 8 and 9 have been slipped into the position of lost bits 6 and 7. Although bits 2E through 5E are erroneous due to the fade, and bits 6S through 504S have slipped due to the PLL drift, bits 1, 2, 3, etc. of the next frame have regained bit synchronization with the input data stream. In other words, the elastic buffer output only contains erroneous data for the portion of the frame or frames affected by the fade.

  • Block 506 initializes variables subsequently used in the formatter operation. For example, a frame flag would be initialized to first output a sync word before outputting a data word in the frame. Additionally, a word counter would be initialized to determine how many bits comprise a signalling word or data word. The addresses of the signalling words in memory are also initialized in this block.
  • block 516 outputs the signalling subword, indicated by the subword counter, to the SSDA.
  • the subword counter is incremented.
  • the subword counter is checked to verify that three 7-bit subwords (21-bits of signalling have been output). If all three have not been transferred, then control proceeds back to block 512 to output another signalling subword. If the signalling subword counter has reached three, meaning three 7-bit subwords have been output, then the 21-bit signalling word is complete.
  • Block 522 would then reset the subword counter to one, and block 524 would then change the frame flag from indicating signalling subwords to indicating data subwords.
  • block 514 decides that a data subword should follow next. Hence, control proceeds from 514 to block 526 where a 7-bit data subword is unloaded from the data buffer and output to the SSDA.
  • Block 528 increments the data subword counter, and block 530 compares the subword counter to the frame flag. If the frame is not complete, control is directed back to block 512. If 72 subwords of data have been output, then the subword counter is reset in block 532, and the frame flag is changed to again indicate signalling words, in block 534. In this manner the 21 bits of signalling words and 504 bits of data words are interleaved to provide an output 10 kbps data stream.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a detailed block diagram of reformatter block 260 in the base station signal processor 126.
  • the reformatter separates the signalling word from the data, and reformats the data if any slipped bits have occurred.
  • the internal structure of reformatter 260 may be envisioned as being implemented by a correlator and a counter.
  • Correlator 640 performs a correlation function between a known signalling word and the received data message, and provides a correlation detect signal on line 642 to input SSDA 610 whenever a valid correlation has occurred. A valid correlation clears the SSDA's receiver such that the SSDA will begin inputting a new subword with the first bit of serial data following the signalling word detect.
  • Correlator runs substantially in parallel with processor 620 such that signalling correlations can be performed when reformatting, i.e., during the bit slip time.
  • the signalling word detect decision is also output to RF signalling circuitry of the base station via line 266.
  • the counter function is performed by reformatter microprocessor 620, in that it counts 504 bits between correlation detects. If bit slip has occurred, this counting procedure causes the addition or deletion of bits to or from the received data message.
  • the recovered 10 kHz clock at 254, and the decoded 10 kbps data at 252, are applied in parallel to correlator 640 and to input device 610, another SSDA.
  • Device 610 converts the serial clock and data to a 7-bit subword for parallel processing in reformatter processor 620.
  • the correlation decision is also fed to microprocessor 620 via "first word" line 614. This indicator tells the microprocessor to start counting 504 data bits; the signalling word bits being separated out by the processor since they occurred before the detect signal.
  • Figure 7 will illustrate how this separating process of the signalling word from the data word is achieved.
  • the subwords of the data message are then applied to output device 630 via data bus 622.
  • Output device 630 still another SSDA, outputs "bursted" 10 kbps data via line 262 to the elastic buffer.
  • an intermittent 10 kHz clock having an effective 9.6 kHz clock rate, is derived from this data and output to the elastic buffer via line 264.
  • Frame synchronization line 642 indicates to the elastic buffer that the first subword of a data word was just sent, thus providing a consistent reference point for the elastic buffer to adjust the clock rate.
  • Correlator 640 may be implemented by a TDC1023 digital output correlator, available from TRW.
  • the SSDA's used may be Motorola MC6852 devices, and the microprocessor may be implemented by a Motorola MC6809.
  • reformatter microprocessor 620 tests to see if an input subword is available from input device 610 in block 704. Again, the input subword consists of seven bits of parallel data converted from the 10 kbps serial input data. Input device 610 looks at the correlation detect line 642 to determine if the subword it is sending is the first seven bits after a valid correlation detect. If so, first word detect line 614 informs the microprocessor accordingly. The microprocessor monitors line 614 in block 706 to see if the input subword that is available is in fact the first subword after a detect.
  • the microprocessor clears the subword in block 608, and inputs another subword in block 704. If the subword is the first one after a valid correlation detect, then a first word indicator is output in block 710 as frame sync line 642. This frame sync information is also forwarded to the elastic buffer.
  • the first subword is read from data bus 612 by microprocessor 620 and output as a first subword to output device 630 via data bus 622.
  • a subword counter is initialized in block 714 to keep track of the number of subwords that have been output.
  • Block 716 tests to see if another subword is available from the input device SSDA, and if so, the next subword is read and output in block 718.
  • the subword counter is then decremented in block 720, and tested in block 722 to see if all the subwords making up a complete data word have been output. If not, control returns to output another subword starting at block 716.
  • 72 subwords each 7 bits in length, comprise a 504 bit data word. All 504 bits are sent to output device 630 whether or not the bits input from input device 610 are actually valid data. For example, inserted bits (I1 and I2 of Figure 3E) are in fact the next few bits of the signalling word. Similarly, once a 504 bit data word is output, any extra data bits will be ignored. In this manner, the reformatter microprocessor modifies the number of data bits received with the signalling word to equal the number of data bits that were sent with the signalling word.
  • the subword counter is reinitialized in block 724 after 72 data words were output, to correspond to the number of subwords in a complete signalling word (e.g., three).
  • the microprocessor tests if the input subword is available in block 726, and if so, then tests if it is the first signalling subword after a valid correlator detect in block 728. If first word line 614 indicates that the input device contains the first subword after a valid detect, then control proceeds back to block 710, wherein the subword is treated as the first subword of a data word. In this case, it is assumed that the PLL clock has slowed during a fade such that the detect has arrived earlier than expected.
  • the subword is cleared from the input device in block 730, the subword counter is decremented in block 732, and the counter is tested in block 734. If all subwords of the signalling word have not been cleared, control returns to block 726.
  • next subword input by SSDA 610 is treated as a data word whether or not a valid detect has occurred. This would be the case when the clock recovery phase-locked loop drifts such that the correlator detect arrives late, or during a longer fade when the correlator detect doesn't arrive at all. Hence, control proceeds to block 736 which waits for the next input subword, and continues with block 710. In this manner, the reformatter acts as a "flywheel" between correlation detects to output the correct number of data bits, even if the signalling word itself was lost during a fade.
  • the internal sturcture of elastic buffer 270 is illustrated in Figure 8.
  • the elastic buffer serves time-­align the "bursted" 10 kHz clock and data inputs into a continuous 9.6 kHz clock and data outputs.
  • the elastic buffer provides standard modem compatibility between the base station and the landline station, since it outputs 9.6 kbps data with controlled 100 ppm adjustments regardless of the input data rate. Therefore, as the RF channel 10 kbps data rate is being synchronized, the guaranteed clock out of the elastic buffer is simultaneously available for modem training.
  • the alternative approach of utilizing a PLL to directly derive a 9.6 kHz clock from the 10 kbps RF channel would require the modem training to wait until the RF channel clock is locked.
  • the buffer outputs the data at a nominal rate of 9.6 kHz, but this rate can be slightly slowed down or sped up as needed.
  • Elastic buffer 270 acts as a variable length shift register when buffering the data. The buffer attempts to keep this delay in a middle range by slowing down the 9.6 kHz output clock if the buffer size gets below a certain value, and by speeding up the output clock if the buffer size gets above a certain value. In this manner, the buffer matches the discontinuous 10 kHz input clock to the continuous 9.6 kHz output clock with a frequency locked to the effective 9.6 kbps data rate over the channel.
  • elastic buffer 270 shown in Figure 8, will now be described in conjunction with the software flowchart of Figure 9 and the waveform diagram of Figure 10.
  • the "bursted" 10 kHz data is input to SSDA input device 810 via line 262, along with its irregular clock rate at line 264.
  • Frame sync 624 is also input to determine where the first word of the frame begins.
  • SSDA input device 810 converts the serial data to 7-bit subwords available on microcomputer data bus 812.
  • Elastic buffer microprocessor 820 periodically loads subwords into data buffer 840, another RAM, via data bus 842. The microprocessor reads this buffer to determine whether the clock rate should be sped up or slowed down.
  • the data subwords are then output via data bus 822 to output device 830, another SSDA.
  • the output clock is derived from the clock rate adjust circuitry which will be described later.
  • the data output 272 and the clock output at 274 then correspond to the 9.6 kHz +/- 0.96 Hz modem tolerance.
  • elastic buffer microprocessor 820 starts operation at block 902, initializes data buffer 840 in block 904 to receive input data, and initializes internal variables in block 906. For example, fast and slow clock lines 824 and 826 must be reset to their proper state.
  • the microprocessor looks at data bus 812 to see if an input subword is available. If a 7-bit subword is available, control proceeds with block 910 to load the subword into data buffer 840.
  • buffer 840 is FIFO implemented in RAM to contain eight 7-bit subwords.
  • Block 912 tests to see if the subword loaded into the buffer is the first subword after a correlation detect. If not, control returns to read another subword. This step is required in order to keep the clock frequency relatively constant by adjusting the clock rate only once per frame.
  • block 914 tests the length of the data in the buffer. If the data buffer is underfull, i.e, contains less than 4 subwords, then the decision is made to decrease the 9.6 kHz clock rate via block 916. In other words, the input data rate is slightly slower than the required output data rate. Hence, slow clock line 826 is set high, and the clock rate adjusting circuitry slows down the output clock. If the data buffer is overfull, i.e, contains greater than 4 subwords, a decision is made in block 918 to increase the output clock rate via block 920. Hence, fast clock line 824 from the microprocessor is set high. If the buffer is neither underfull nor overfull, the clock rate is restored to the nominal 9.6 kHz in block 922 by resetting fast and slow clock lines 824 and 826, and control returns to block 908.
  • the microprocessor checks the output SSDA device 830 to see if an output subword is required in block 924. If not, control again returns to block 908 to test for input subwords. If an output subword is required, then a subword is output from the data buffer to the output SSDA in block 926.
  • Output SSDA 830 utilizes the corrected clock output 274 to convert the parallel subword to a serial 9.6 kbps data stream on line 272.
  • Figure 10 illustrates the waveforms of the clock rate adjuster circuitry of elastic buffer 270. Since the reformatter has ensured that the 10 kbps "bursted" input data at 262 has the correct number of data bits, the correct number of 10 kHz clock pulses is also ensured. Elastic buffer 270 time-aligns this bursted 10 kbps data and clock input to provide a continuous 9.6 kbps data and clock output.
  • oscillator 866 produces a 3.84 MHz output on line 868 as shown in Figure 10A.
  • This clock is "split" into two 1.92 MHz clocks, which are approximately 180 degrees out of phase, in pulse splitter block 860.
  • the first 1.92 MHz clock on line 862 shown in Figure 10B, is applied to divide-by-­10,000 block 856, as well as to clock rate adjuster 850.
  • the delayed version of the split-clock signal shown in Figure 10C, is applied to clock rate adjuster 850 via line 864.
  • Figure 10D illustrates the 192 Hz clock signal available on line 858 from the divide-by-10,000 block 856.
  • Figures 10E and 10F illustrate fast and slow clock lines 824 and 826, respectively.
  • clock rate adjuster 850 If fast clock line 824 is high, a clock pulse is added by clock rate adjuster 850 during the time that line 858 is high. Similarly, if slow clock line 826 is high, a clock pulse is deleted directly following the 192 Hz pulse on line 858. This divide-by-10,000 ensures that the output clock rate is maintained to be within the modem specification of 100 ppm (192 Hz/1.92 MHz).
  • the output of clock rate adjuster 850, line 852 shown as Figure 10G, is applied to divide-­by-200 block 854 to produce a 9.6 kHz clock with a 50% duty cycle on line 274. This time-aligned clock signal is used to output the data to the modem.
