Frame-based spectral shaping method and apparatus

摘要

An improved DC compensation method for use in conjunction with telephony signalling. The method includes defining a frame that includes at least two n-bit codewords. An unsigned codeword is then identified within the frame by applying a rule to the codewords in the defined frame. Next, a sign bit is appended to the unsigned codeword, thereby producing a DC compensating codeword. The sign bit is selected based upon a weighting function of the linear values associated with previously transmitted codewords. The remaining unsigned codewords in the frame are assigned sign bits from user data.
