Abstract

In a PCM modem system in which equivalence classes are used to communicate information from a transmitter to a receiver, a method is provided to solve the problem of 180° phase reversals in the communications channel which result in a garbled transmission. This is accomplished by remapping the equivalence classes into a form that can be differentially encoded and decoded such that equivalence class identity is not lost during a phase reversal of the channel.
