An active queue management (AQM) process for network communications equipment. The AQM process is queue based and involves applying at a queue size threshold congestion notification to communications packets in a queue of a link via packet dropping; and adjusting said queue size threshold on the basis of the congestion level.

Network communications equipment includes a switch component for switching communications packets between input ports and output ports, packet queues for at least the output ports, and an active queue manager for applying congestion notification to communications packets in the queues for the output ports via packet dropping. The congestion notification is applied at respective queue size thresholds for the queues, and the thresholds adjusted on the basis of the respective congestion levels of the queues of the output ports.

Follow-up content items are determined for being played out when the current play-out of a content item has ended or is scheduled to end. The follow-up content items are determined, based on one or more bibliographic or semantic attributes of the item being played out and, on additional parameters such as the available bandwidth and the required data transfer rate. During the playing out of the content item, at least the first portions of the follow-up content items are retrieved and buffered in a buffer local to the equipment. Upon the playing-out of the content item being halted, the playing-out of the follow-up content items can be started right away from the buffer.

An LDPC encoding system produces an encoded block by encoding the data as i data sub-blocks using an LDPC code H₁, XOR'ing the H₁ sub-block code words to generate a block code word and further encoding the block code word using an LDPC code H₂ to produce p parity bits. The encoded block consists of a concatenation of the H₁ code words and the p parity bits. To decode the encoded block, the system decodes each H₁ sub-block code word and, if all of the H₁ sub-block code words converge, the block has been successfully decoded. Otherwise, if one of the H₁ code words fails to converge, the system performs an “extended” decoding operation in which the system produces a vector C by XOR'ing the i−1 properly decoded H₁ sub-block code words. The system then combines the vector C with the sign values of the failed H₁ sub-block code word, appends the parity bits and decodes the result as an H₂ code word over the H₂ LDPC code. For a next iteration, the system removes the vector C from the non-parity sign bits of the decoded H₂ code word and provides the results along with the associated reliability information to an ISI detector for further decoding to produce an updated failed H₁ code word. The updated H₁ sub-block code word is then iteratively decoded as part of an H₂ code word, and so forth, by combing and removing the vector C.
