A coding efficiency increase is achieved by using a common signalization within the bitstream with regard to activation of merging and activation of the skip mode. One possible state of one or more syntax elements within the bitstream may signalize for a current sample set of a picture that the sample set is to be merged and has no prediction residual encoded and inserted into the bitstream. A common flag may signalize whether the coding parameters associated with a current sample set are to be set according to a merge candidate or to be retrieved from the bitstream, and whether the current sample set of the picture is to be reconstructed based on a prediction signal depending on the coding parameters associated with the current sample set, without any residual data, or to be reconstructed by refining the prediction signal depending on the coding parameters associated with the current sample set by means of residual data within the bitstream.

A technique for reconstructing phase currents based on measurements of a DC bus current. Non-observable regions of DC bus current samples to reconstruct phase currents are reduced in size by using two phase space vector modulation. The non-observable regions can be further reduced by omitting deadtime insertions for switch actuations when output current is higher than a given threshold. Voltage command vectors in non-observable areas can be constructed by two time averaged vectors one of which is constructed to obtain an observable DC bus current reflecting motor phase current. The additive vectors have the same combined time average value as that of the voltage command vector in order to preserve volt-seconds. Current samples may also be averaged to provide a more accurate reconstruction of phase current. Current samples are time delayed to avoid transients for more accurate readings. When three phase PWM inverter modulation results in inability to determine the motor phase current from the DC bus measurement, the technique includes dynamically switching to two phase PWM modulation to reduce the time interval when the motor phase current is not determinable through the DC bus current measurement.
