Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for allocating and reallocating multimedia data between a base layer and an enhancement layer defined in a wireless modulation scheme. The reallocation techniques may vary depending on whether bidirectional predictive (B) frames were originally allocated to the base layer, and whether a re-encode request has been issued to encoders, e.g., to reduce the encoding rate to meet bandwidth constraints associated with a wireless communication channel. The described techniques may help to efficiently utilize channel resources, balance bandwidth between channels and possibly improve error resilience at the application layer. In some cases, the techniques can help to reduce overall aggregate bandwidth usage.

A method and apparatus for multi-layer integration for use in error recovery is disclosed. An error is detected in a multimedia data based on a first layer protocol and the detected error in the multimedia data is concealed based on a second layer protocol. In one aspect, the error in a multimedia data is detected based on a communication layer protocol and controlled based on a transport layer protocol.

Apparatus and method to decode video data while maintaining a target video quality using an integrated error control system including error detection, resynchronization and error recovery are described. Robust error control can be provided by a joint encoder-decoder functionality including multiple error resilience designs. In one aspect, error recovery may be an end-to-end integrated multi-layer error detection, resynchronization and recovery mechanism designed to achieve reliable error detection and error localization. The error recovery system may include cross-layer interaction of error detection, resynchronization and error recovery subsystems. In another aspect, error handling of a scalable coded bitstream is coordinated across a base-layer and enhancement layer of scalable compressed video.
Abstract:
Techniques for video encoding and decoding a common guide media logic channel (MLC) to enable fast acquisition and re/synchronization of the video stream while preserving compression efficiency are provided. Systems and methods to process multimedia data using channel switch frames are presented. The system comprises an encoder operative to generate a common guide media logical channel (MLC) of a plurality of channel switch frames (CSFs), each respective active channel having one or more CSFs in the guide MLC. The decoder in the system is operative to decode a set of the plurality of CSFs from the guide MLC. The decoder simultaneously displays programming content of the decoded set of the plurality of CSFs on a display and automatically switches to a primary bitstream of an active channel associated with a selected one displayed CSF.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to process multimedia data enabling faster channel acquisitions, improved error recovery and improved efficiency. An encoder device encodes a first portion of multimedia data using inter-coding to generate a first version, and encodes the first portion of multimedia data using intra-coding to generate a second version. A decoder device receives a first version of a first portion of multimedia data, wherein the first version is inter-coded, receives a second version of the first portion of multimedia data, wherein the second version is intra-coded, and selectively decodes the first and second received versions.

Apparatus and methods of using content information for encoding multimedia data are described. A method of processing multimedia data includes obtaining content information of multimedia data, and encoding the multimedia data so as to align a data boundary with a frame boundary in a time domain, wherein said encoding is based on the content information. In another aspect, a method of processing multimedia data includes obtaining a content classification of the multimedia data, and encoding blocks in the multimedia data as intra-coded blocks or inter-coded blocks based on the content classification to increase the error resilience of the encoded multimedia data. Apparatus that can process multimedia data described in these methods are also disclosed.
