Abstract:
A method of increasing the error resilience of encoded multimedia data, the method comprising obtaining content information of multimedia data, wherein the content information includes content classifications for portions of the multimedia data, each content classification for a portion determined by a texture value associated with spatial complexity of the portion, and a motion value associated with temporal complexity of the portion; and encoding portions of the multimedia data as intra-coded blocks or inter-coded blocks based on the content classification.

Abstract:
Implementations relate to systems and methods for encoding block data to deliver content to a mobile wireless or other device. Content, such as audio, video or textual content, can be generated for broadcast in source blocks that are decomposed into a set of high priority blocks and a set of low priority blocks. Forward error correction is performed on the set of high priority blocks and set of low priority blocks to generate a set of repair symbols for use in reconstructing aggregate transmission blocks of content. The set of low priority blocks and set of repair symbols for a subsequent period can be shifted or inserted into an aggregate transmission block of a prior period. When a request to change channels is received, the decoding of the high priority block corresponding to the content of the new channel can begin before subsequent aggregate transmission blocks are received.
Abstract:
Embodiments include systems and methods of improving processing in a decoder in a multimedia transmission system. Multimedia data may include one or more of motion video, audio, still images, or any other suitable type of audio-visual data. One embodiment includes a system and method of parsing fixed and variable length codes from a bit-wise stream of multi-media data by maintaining and reading the data in a processor aligned (e.g., word aligned) way. Another embodiment includes a system and method of decoding variable length codes, particular as received from such a variable length code using multiple levels of decoding tables to speed up decoder table lookup.
Abstract:
A method of acquiring a forward link only (FLO) network in a radio frequency (RF) in a wireless communication environment, includes selecting a RF from a first list; selecting a signal parameter (SP) from a second list; determining if a first parameter is found using the selected RF and SP; and, upon determination that the first parameter is found, enabling the use of the selected RF and SP to communicate in the FLO network. An apparatus for implementing the method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An OFDM telecommunications system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The receiver includes a canceller configured to reduce inter-carrier interference (ICI) in an OFDM symbol in the frequency domain.
Abstract:
A method for estimating a feedback channel for a wireless repeater uses frequency domain channel estimation on samples of a pilot signal and samples of a receive signal. The pilot signal samples may be delayed to align the largest channel tap to a given reference time. A time domain feedback channel is generated by retaining both the causal taps and the non-causal taps of the channel estimate.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for efficient encoding multimedia data, such as live video streams are disclosed. The multimedia data is pre-encoded into multiple layers and characteristics of the pre-encoded data are determined. Based at least in part on the determined characteristics, the multimedia data is encoded into multiple layers.
Abstract:
A method of generating a parity check matrix for iterative decoding of a linear block code includes: determining a set of parity check vectors for the linear block code; ordering according to Hamming weight non-zero parity check vectors of the set; selecting a criterion for generating the parity check matrix; and building the parity check matrix by incrementally selecting according to the criterion a parity check vector for each consecutive row of the parity check matrix, wherein the parity check vector is selected from the ordered non-zero parity check vectors remaining in the set.
