US 12,662,935 B2 · Method and system for fast pulse telemetry

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and system for multiple symbol-frames to encode and decode each symbol-frame code value in contrast to current schemes of encoding and decoding the symbol-frame code based on evaluating single symbol-frames code for each bitstream value. By evaluating multiple symbol-frames and their relationship to each other to encode and decode each symbol-frame code value, the relationship between the pulse width and symbol-frame width can be varied. The description of the exemplary embodiment maintains the same symbol-frame width with a much wider pulse and encoding and decoding multiple symbols-frames to achieve higher data rate telemetry while maintaining the integrity of a signal. The method and associated software to code and decode multiple symbol-frames and their relationship to each other has demonstrated multiples of increased speed that significantly increases the capability of telemetry communication.

Dependent claims

A method of telemetry pulse modulation for communicating information, comprising:

determining if a number of symbol-frame slots between a first pulse, having a position in a first symbol-frame that establishes a first original code, and a second pulse, having a position in a second symbol-frame that is consecutive to the first symbol-frame and that establishes a second original code, is less than a prescribed threshold of symbol-frame slots, and if the number is less than the prescribed threshold, then
altering one or more of the original codes to establish one or more predetermined altered codes;
encoding the predetermined altered codes and any remaining original codes;
transmitting the pulses according to codes to a decoder;
and
decoding the transmitted pulses into the predetermined altered codes and converting the predetermined altered codes into the original codes and together with any unaltered original codes and communicating the original codes containing the information.

3 more elements

A system for telemetry pulse modulation containing information, comprising:

an encoder having an encoding processor and a computer readable memory including processor executable instructions that, when executed by the encoding processor, cause the system to perform encoding operations, and a decoder having a decoding processor and a computer readable memory including processor executable instructions that, when executed by the decoding processor, cause the system to perform decoding operations comprising:
determining if a number of symbol-frame slots between a first pulse having a position in a first symbol-frame and that establishes a first original code, and a second pulse having a position in a second symbol-frame that is consecutive to the first symbol-frame and that establishes a second original code, is less than a prescribed threshold of symbol-frame slots, and if the number is less than the prescribed threshold, then:
altering one or more of the original codes to establish one or more predetermined altered codes;
encoding the predetermined altered codes and any remaining original codes;
transmitting the pulses according to codes to a decoder;
and
decoding the transmitted pulses into the predetermined altered codes and converting the predetermined altered codes into the original codes and together with any unaltered original codes and communicating the original codes containing the information.
