The network consists of a number of local rings, each attached to a central ring. The local rings employ a variation on the slotted-ring format that uses a limited insertion technique to achieve reasonable response times for character traffic among many devices and small computers. Two fixed-length packet formats (one byte or 128 bytes of data) are used on the local rings. Only the longer format is used on the central ring which generally provides record level access to shared specialized equipment. The main objective in the local ring design is a low-cost port for inexpensive terminals, sensors, etc. The paper concentrates on the functional characteristics of the local rings, including delay-throughput comparisons with other well-known ring schemes.","PeriodicalId":217472,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the seventh symposium on Data communications","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116204832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scheme maps sampled speech, from a given word, into a finite codebook (of the same size as the dictionary) using linear predictive coding (LPC) all-pole models and a minimum distortion or nearest neighbor rule between all samples from the given word and the codewords from the codebook. Standard LPC techniques are used to design the codebook, but the final system requires no on-line LPC analysis.","PeriodicalId":217472,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the seventh symposium on Data communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129594063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
