SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION ALGORITHMS IN A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

In a telecommunications system, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) (100) that receives an input signal. The input signal includes a digital signal representative of an analog signal. The ALU (100) selectively performs compression and decompression on the digital signal. The ALU comprises the following elements. A standard ALU component (102) performs standard ALU operations on the input signal. An encoding unit (104) selectively performs compression on the digital signal. A decoding unit (106) selectively performs decompression on the digital signal. An instruction decoder (110) receives and decodes an ALU instruction. An output selector (108) selects a result from one of the standard ALU component (102), the encoding unit (104), and the decoding unit (106) in accordance with the decoded instruction and provides the result as an output.
