Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products for averaging measured levels from differing intervals and differing code points based on their proximity with other measured levels are provided. Such proximity averaging may be provided by methods, systems and computer program products for averaging measured levels of code point sequences from a plurality of frame intervals in the presence of robbed-bit signaling by comparing a first measured level of a first code point from a first of the plurality of frame intervals and a measured level of a second code point from the plurality of frame intervals so as to provide a first comparison result. The measured level of the second code point is incorporated into an average of the measured levels for the first code point from the plurality of frame intervals based on the first comparison result and a threshold value. The measured level of the second code point may then be replaced with the average of the measured levels of the first code points if the measured level of the second code point is incorporated into the average of the measured levels of the first code point. Preferably, the first and second code points are adjacent code points in the code point sequence.
