Retransmission method with soft combining in a telecommunications system

An automatic repeat request mechanism (such as Type II / III hybrid ARQ) which includes (soft or hard) combining of initially transmitted and retransmitted versions of a packet, is provided for retransmission of erroneous packets. According to the present invention, in association with each retransmission, there is outband signaling from a transmitter to a receiver that unambiguously indicates when, e.g. the exact time or physical location, the first transmission of the packet was carried out, so that it is possible to combine the retransmitted version with the previous version(s) of the packet. Soft combining requires that the initial packet and the retransmitted packet be identical. In an embodiment of the invention, in order to overcome this problem, the information that needs to be changed between the initial transmission and the retransmission(s) of a packet is sent outband with other outband signaling information. Thus, the retransmitted packet can be maintained unchanged and the requirement for identical packets in soft combining is met.

Testing telecommunications equipment

A communications system is tested to simulate a realistic conversation. A first measurement device make a call, through the system it is testing, to a second measurement device and the two devices converse using predetermined speech generated dynamically by each device in response to the signals received from the other, to simulate aspects of conversation over non-perfect communications system link. The progress of the conversation will therefore take different courses according to the quality of the link. For example, if an expected signal is detected by one device, it transmits an appropriate predetermined response to the other device. However, if the expected signal is corrupted, or not received at all, different predetermined responses (or no response at all) are transmitted to the other device. This in turn may cause the other device to repeat the original signal. Because all the responses, including those to poor quality signals, are predetermined, each device can readily determine the quality of the signals received, because each signal received by one device form the other must be one of a limited number of possible responses to the last transmission made by the one device to the other. The devices perform measurements on the sounds they receive from each other, and monitor the progress of the conversation to compute parameters describing aspects of the received signal quality.

Method and system for locking transmission wavelengths for lasers in a dense wavelength division multiplexer utilizing a tunable etalon

The method and system operate to calibrate a transmission laser of the dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) and to lock the laser to a selected transmission wavelength. In one example, the transmission laser is a widely tunable laser (WTL) to be tuned to one of a set of International Telecommunications Union (ITU) transmission grid lines for transmission through an optic fiber. To lock the WTL to an ITU grid line, a portion of the output beam from the WTL is routed through the etalon to split the beam into a set of transmission lines for detection by an etalon fringe detector. Another portion of the beam is routed directly to a laser wavelength detector. A wavelength-locking controller compares signals from the two detectors and adjusts the temperature of the etalon to align the wavelength of one of the transmission lines of the etalon with the wavelength of the output beam, then controls the WTL in a feedback loop to lock the laser to the etalon line. The wavelength-locking controller thereafter monitors the temperature of the etalon and keeps the temperature constant to prevent any wavelength drift in the etalon. In one example, the optical components are aligned so that laser wavelength detector receives a portion of the laser beam directly from the laser so that phase characteristics of the laser beam are not affected by an intervening beamsplitter thereby permitting improved wavelength locking. In another embodiment, an etalon chirp filter is provided for reducing or eliminating optical frequency chirp, regardless of the particular ITU channel being used for transmission.

Method and arrangement for the improved exploitation of technical resources between telecommunications networks and ip-networks

The invention relates to a method for the improved exploitation of resources between telecommunications networks and IP networks (for example, corporate LANs or the public Internet), for reducing the costs of permanent connections (always-on connections) and for optimsing IP address economy. According to said method an access, authentication and multiplex device ("RAMSES-client") replaces the usual RADIUS client. Said RC has an authentication device (RAC) which is connected to the ISP-specific authentication device and authenticates the ISP access of the subscriber. During the periods when there is no traffic, the RC deactivates the connection between the telecommunications network and the IP network, while the subscriber-side connection is maintained. When the subscriber has new data traffic, the RC automatically activates the IP connection concerned to the ISP with reversion to the stored authentication data. This makes a static use of the limited resources between the telecommunications and IP networks, such as dynamic IP addresses, PVCs, transmission channels, lines etc, possible. Additional RAMSES protocol elements allow the ISP-side activation of the partial connection for ISP-initiated e-mail delivery.

The invention concerns a method of transmitting non-dated digital data between a transmitter and a receiver in which the data can take at least two different paths between the transmitter and the receiver and handover from one path to another occurs during transmission. In the transmitter, packets intended for the second path are transmitted only after the last packet intended for the first path has been transmitted and in the transmitter and in the receiver packets on the first or second path are delayed in order for packets on the second path to arrive after packets on the first path. It is therefore not necessary to transmit signaling to differentiate the two paths at the receiver, which can include a single demodulator.
