Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for performing enhanced file distribution in multicast communication or broadcast communication allowing more efficient download and processing of a broadcast file. SOLUTION: In a communication system providing broadcast services, files for broadcast are accessible by users. The content of the broadcast files and the content of file attributes required to process the broadcast files are separately sent. As arranged thus, receiving the file attributes ahead of the content files allows more efficient download and processing of the broadcast files. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect errors and recover data while minimizing the impact on device resources such as power consumption.SOLUTION: It is attempted to receive a subset of an initial amount of code packets, which should be at least k(1+ε) packets, from a plurality of code packets transmitted during a contact window, where k represents the number of data packets encoded to produce the transmitted code packets and ε is initialized using an initial minimum value not smaller than zero. A method comprises detecting a trigger event that indicates a decode error associated with the subset of the initial amount of code packets, increasing ε from the initial minimum value based on the trigger event, and receiving one or more additional code packets during the contact window.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for video-encoding and decoding channel switch frames (CSF) to enable acquisition and re/synchronization of a video stream while preserving compression efficiency.SOLUTION: Systems and methods to process multimedia data enabling channel switching are presented. The systems generate a CSF with one or more network abstraction layer (NAL) units as a random access point (RAP) frame. Back-to-back frames are transmitted which include the CSF and a non-RAP frame, each having the same frame ID number.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more effective scheme for higher-quality broadcasting and a scheme for much more economical utilization of a communication resource, in a method and an apparatus for performing enhanced file distribution in a multicast and a broadcast. SOLUTION: A user can access a file for the broadcast in a communication system for providing a broadcast service. Contents of the file for the broadcast, which are required to process the broadcast file, are differently transmitted from those of file attributes. Through such arrangement, more effective download and processing can be expected in the broadcast file by receiving the file attribute earlier than the contents file. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for providing a control channel in a data network. A method is provided that operates to provide a control channel in a data network. The method includes receiving one or more server digests, and generating a control channel digest from the one or more server digests. The method also includes communicating with a device, and transmitting the control channel digest to the device.
