Description
iA method and apparatus for shaping the signal spectrum of a transmit signal of a modem
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for shaping the signal spectrum of a transmit signal for transmission on an output line of a modem.
In some modems, in particular, modems which are known as pulse coded modulation (PCM) modems, it is desirable to shape the signal spectrum of the transmit signal. The term shape the signal spectrum is used herein to indicate that the frequency response of the transmit signal should have certain characteristics, for example, low energy at lovAfrepuencies. It is desirable that low frequency energy in a transnritSignal should be reduced as low as possible, since such low frequency energy may cause distortion in transformers in a telephone exchange. It has also been found that the equalisation requirements in a receiver of such a transmit signal are reduced if frequencies which are to be attenuated are suppressed.

The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description of some prefer*rei( embodiments thereof which are given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 illustrates a PCM modem and a circuit according to the invention for shaping the signal spectrum of a transmit signal for placing on an output line of the PCM modem, and
Fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method according to the invention for shaping the signal spectrum of a transmit signal for placing on the output of the modem.
The PCM modem is indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 and is of the type which comprises an input 2 for receiving an input bit stream of user data, which typically, is scrambled, and an output 3 on which a transmit signal for transmission from the PCM modem is applied. The bit stream on the input 2 is fed to a bit parser 4 which splits the bit stream into bits from which symbol levels are to be derived, coded and mapped, and shaping bits which are used in shaping the transmit signal. The bits from which symbol levels are to be derived are fed by the bit parser 5 to an encoder and mapping circuit 5. Such encoder and mapping circuitry 5 will be well known to those skilled in the art. The mapping circuit 5 derives a symbol level for each frame of data
IE 980160 bits received from the bit parser 4. The symbol levels appear on an output 8 from the encoder and mapping circuit 5. An alternative symbol level generating circuit 6 generates corresponding alternative symbol levels, one corresponding alternative symbol level being generated for each symbol level derived by the circuit 5. The alternative symbol levels are outputted by the circuit 6 on an output 9. The shaping bits are fed by the bit parser 5 to a selecting means, namely, a selector circuit 7 for selecting one of each symbol level or its alternative symbol level from the outputs 8 and 9 for shaping the transmit signal, for in turn minimising the undesirable output frequency energy in the transmit signal.
The alternative symbol level generating circuit 6 can include any suitable generating scheme. One scheme is to set the alternative symbol levels as being the negative of the corresponding symbol levels. In other words, the alternative symbol levels are generated by multiplying the corresponding symbol levels by -1 in the circuit 6. An alternative scheme is to sort N symbols in increasing order, where N is the total number of allowed symbols, and assign each of the N symbols an index from Zero to N -1 the alternative symbol levels are derived by adding 0.5 x N to the index and calculating the remainder of this number after dividing by N, in other words given index B, the alternative index A is derived as follows:
A = (B + N/2) modulo N.
The selector circuit 7 operates under the control of a shaping circuit 10 according to the invention which is indicated generally by the reference numeral 10. The shaping circuitry 10 comprises a digital filter 12 which in this embodiment of the invention is provided by a pair of finite impulse response (FIR) filters 14 and 15 to which a feed back loop 16 feeds the transmit signal from the output 3. The symbol level and the alternative symbol level are fed from the outputs 8 and 9, respectively, to the FIR filters 14 and 15, respectively. The FIR filters 14 and 15 are chosen to
IE 980160 have a relatively high output at undesirable frequencies, and a relatively low output at desired frequencies. In this embodiment of the invention the PCM modem transmits at a symbol rate equal to a sample rate of 8,000 symbols per.second. It has been found that the most advantageous filters for shaping using the method according to the invention are low pass or band reject filters, for example, for the PCM modem 1 which transmits at a symbol rate equal to the sample rate of 8,000 symbols per second the two most advantageous filters are:
a) a low pass filter with a cut off of somewhere below 200 Hz, and
b) a band reject filter similar to (a) above but which
From an error propagation point of view FIR filters are better for this filtering because they have a limited memory. If an error is made in assigning a symbol level in the encoder and mapping circuit 5, it propagates through the length of the FIR filter, but could stay forever in an infinite impulse response (HR) filter. Although IIR filters may be provided in which the errors eventually die away. It has been found that FIR filters with only ones and zeros for the coefficients are particularly advantageous. For a filter of type (a) above all the coefficients are equal to one. For a filter of type (b) every odd coefficient is equal to one, and every even coefficient is equal to zero. The length L of the filters then determines the bandwidth of the filters and the depth of the rejection band. These particular filters are advantageous because it is possible to carry out calculations of each of the L filter outputs using a single addition, that is for example, using a low pass filter of type (a) with L taps.
The symbol level on the output 8 and the alternative symbol level on the output 9 are inputted to the FIR filters 14 and 15, respectively, and the results are outputted to respective squaring circuits 18 and 19 for determining the energy of the respective outputs from the FIR filters 14 and 15. In this embodiment of the
IE 980160 invention the cumulative effect of a plurality of subsequent symbol levels and their corresponding alternative symbol levels on the symbol level and alternative symbol level, respectively, on the outputs 8 and 9 are also taken into account in the shaping circuit 10 as will be described below. Adder circuits 20 and 21 add the energies which are determined in the squaring circuits 18 and 19 of respective output signals from the FIR filters 14 and 15 for each subsequent symbol level and its corresponding alternative symbol level. Any number of subsequent symbol levels and alternative symbol levels may be used, the more subsequent symbol levels and alternative symbol levels which are used, the more accurate will be the result. In this embodiment of the invention, the subsequent symbol leVdSs^are assumed to be zero.
\
A subtracting circuit 24 subtracts the outputs from the adder circuits 20 and 21 and the result is passed to a circuit 25 which determines the magnitude of the difference determined by the subtracting circuit 24. A comparator 28 compares the magnitude from the circuit 25 with a preset predetermined value Vref( and where the magnitude exceeds the predetermined value Vref the comparator 28 controls the selector circuit 7 so that one of the symbol level and the alternative symbol level on the outputs 8 and 9 is selected by the shaping circuit 10. Otherwise, the selector circuit 7 is controlled to allow the one of the symbol level and the alternative symbol level on the outputs 8 and 9, respectively, to be selected by the shaping bits transferred to the selector circuit 7 from the bit parser 4. The value of the predetermined value is determined by trial and error. It is a positive number, and is selected to give the desired shape frequency spectrum.
A comparator 29 compares the energy outputs from the adder circuits 20 and 21. When the selector circuit 7 is operated under the control of the comparator 28 for selecting the one of the symbol level and the alternative symbol level on the outputs 8 and 9, the comparator 29 operates the selector circuit 7 to select the one of the symbol level and the alternative symbol level which
IE 980160 produces the lowest energy level signal from the adder circuits 20 and 21.
Turning now to Fig. 2 the method according to the invention for shaping the signal spectrum of the transmit signal will now be described with reference to the shaping circuit 7 of Fig. 1. In block 100 of Fig. 2 the encoder and mapping circuit 5 derives a symbol level from the input bit stream and places the symbol level on the output 8. In block 101 an alternative symbol level is generated by the circuit 6 and is placed on the output 9. Block 102 calculates the output of the filter 14 based on the symbol level on the output 8. Block 103 calculates the next L filter output from the symbol IbvfrKqn the output 8 assuming that the next subsequent symbol levels vhiich would appear on the output 8 will be zero. Block 104 calculates the energy of each of the L filter outputs in the squaring circuit 18 and sums the energies which is carried out in the adder circuit 20. Block 105 repeats the steps of blocks 102, 103 and 104 for the alternative symbol levels which appear on the output 9 using the FIR filter 15, the squaring circuit 19 and the adder circuit 21. Block 106 then compares the difference between the sums of the lowest and the highest energies, and if the difference between the sum of the lowest and the highest energies is more than the predetermined value, then the comparator 28 is operated to control the selecting circuit 7 so that the selector circuit 7 is operated under the control of the comparator 29 for selecting the symbol level of the two which appear on the outputs 8 and 9 for minimising the undesirable output frequency energy in the transmit signal. Otherwise, the selector circuit 8 is operated under the control of the comparator 28 for selecting the symbol level from the output 8 and 9 under the control of the shaping bits which are transferred from the bit parser 4 to the selector circuit 7.
The last output of the step of block 103 is the value of the symbol (Xn using the notation Xm = symbol transmitted at symbol time m, and n = current symbol time). The second last output of
IE 980160 the step of block 103 is equal to the last output plus the symbol which was transmitted immediately prior to the current symbol Xn + X^. The output prior to that is Xn + X^ + Xn_2 and so on until the first output which equals 2μ0 t0 L.x Xn.i- In this way any filter with only ones and zeros as coefficients can have the outputs calculated using a single addition for each output.
The transmitted bits can be recovered in a receiver modem as follows. The original transmitted symbol levels are recovered in the receiver modem as normal. The receiver modem applies the method steps of the flow chart of Fig. 2 to the received symbol levels. The receiver modem applies the same predetermined value Vref to the possible alternatives of the symbol level and the alternative symbol level as ditXthe modem 1. The value of the predetermined value Vref may be transmitted to the receiver modem during handshaking, or may be pre-known. From this comparison, the receiver modem can determine whether the modem 1 would have taken more input bits, and thus, it determines which bits to output.
The following are examples of alternative methods.
Alternative method 1
In the above method the signal spectrum is shaped by choosing transmit symbol levels which minimise the output of a filter which passes undesirable frequencies and suppresses desirable frequencies. A similar method may be used which maximises the output of a filter which passes desirable frequencies and suppresses undesirable frequencies by following the same method as discussed above with two differences as follows:
1) the filters have a spectrum which is the opposite to those described above, in other words, instead of a low pass filter with a cut off of 200 Hz, a high pass filter with the same cut off is used, and
2) if the predetermined value is exceeded in the step of block 106, the symbol level which causes the highest energy sum is
IE 980160 sent instead of the symbol code which causes the lowest energy sum.
Alternative method 2
In this method pairs of symbol levels are taken and assigned alternative symbol level pairs in a similar manner as described above. Input bits are assigned to a pair of symbol levels, and these pairs of symbol levels and their alternative pairs of symbol levels are subjected to steps 2 to 4 of blocks 102 to 104 of the flow chart of Fig. 2, and the pair of either symbol levels or alternative symbol levels with the most desirable energy is transmitted if the predetermined value is exceeded. This method can be further extended fW^rger groups of symbols instead of pairs. X
Whether one uses a mapping scheme whereby the alternative symbol level is derived by multiplying the symbol level by -1, or by assigning each of the N symbols an index from 0 to N-l and deriving the alternative symbol levels by adding 0.5 χ N to the index provides a quite similar degree of spectral suppression, in the undesirable frequency bands, for substantially the same cost in bit-rate, although deriving the alternative symbol level by multiplying the symbol level by -1 provides slightly better results. The alternative of assigning an index from 0 to N-l to the symbol levels and deriving the alternatives by adding 0.5 χ N to the index has the advantage that it reduces the total transmit energy.
The method according to the invention provides a more controllable and deeper spectrum shaping than presently known methods. The user transmit bit-rate can be adjusted to a desired number by adjusting the predetermined value over which the symbol level or the alternative symbol level is selected by the shaping circuit.
A larger predetermined value results in less redundancy and consequently a higher user bit-rate. A lower predetermined value results in more redundancy and consequently a lower user bit-rate.
IE 980160
This is useful in applications where certain predefined bit-rates are required. Another advantage of the method according to the invention is that where the alternative symbol level is derived by adding 0.5 x N to the index for the symbol level the resultant energy output across the band is lower than if no spectral shaping were performed. This is advantageous where energy limitations exist.
