    Abstract: A receiving apparatus includes: a first decoder configured to decode a signal transmitted through a first layer from a layered division multiplexing (LDM) signal using a parity check matrix to generate low density parity check (LDPC) information word bits and parity bits; an encoder configured to encode the LDPC information word bits, generated by decoding the signal transmitted through the first layer, using the parity check matrix to generate parity bits corresponding only to preset columns in the parity check matrix; and a second decoder configured to decode a signal obtained by removing, from the LDM signal, a signal corresponding to the LDPC information word bits generated by decoding the signal transmitted through the first layer, the parity bits generated by the encoder, and the parity bits generated by the first decoder except the parity bits generated by the encoder, thereby to generate information word bits transmitted through a second layer.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and devices for improving audio processing and playing multiple sounds using fewer resources. Various implementations may create audio files, in some cases from a single sample of a type of sound, where the files represent specific quantities of that type of sound, such as 10 footsteps or 1000 claps. Given a desired target number of sounds to play, various implementations determine an appropriate combination of the employable audio files to represent the desired number of sounds, and play or render the combination as an approximation of the desired target number of sounds. By using single audio files that represent and sound like multiple instances of a specified type of sound, the various implementations use significantly fewer computing and audio resources than playing an equivalent number of audio files each of which contains a single instance of the specified type of sound.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor configured to encode user data into a set of data fragments and to transmit each data fragment of the set of data fragments in a plurality of discovery messages. In another aspect, the apparatus includes a processor configured to receive one or more discovery messages, determine whether each of the received one or more discovery messages includes an encoded data fragment of a set of encoded data fragments associated with user data, determine whether a minimum number of encoded data fragments have been received from the received one or more discovery messages to enable reconstruction of the user data, and reconstruct the user data based on the determination of whether the minimum number of encoded data fragments is received.
