64 results about "Decoding latency" patented technology

The decoding latency is denoted by l and is defined as the overall latency minus the encoding time and the channel delay. We measure time in terms of information bits.

Synchronized audio/video decoding for network devices

A method of synchronizing decoders within a network to a server includes receiving a set of timestamps and local clock signals upon receiving the beacon interrupt signal, computing differential timestamp and local clock values based on values of timestamp and local clock signals, respectively, within the sets of timestamp and local clock signals, determining whether the differential local clock value has a predetermined relationship with the differential timestamp value, and transmitting a clock rate adjustment command signal to the decoder when differential local clock value does not have the predetermined relationship with the differential timestamp value. The clock rate adjustment command signal adjusts the local system time clock of the decoder such that a subsequent differential clock value will have the predetermined relationship with the differential timestamp value. When this method is performed for each decoder within the network, the decoders are substantially synchronized and the decoding delay can be kept below humanly perceptible levels.

Efficient method for the reconstruction of digital information

Improved method of encoding and repairing data for reliable storage and transmission using erasure codes, which is efficient enough for implementation in software as well as hardware. A systematic linear coding matrix over GF(2q) is used which combines parity for fast correction of single erasures with the capability of correcting k erasures. Finite field operations involving the coding and repair matrices are redefined to consist of bitwise XOR operations on words of arbitrary length. The elements of the matrix are selected to reduce the number of XOR operations needed and buffers are aligned for optimal processor cache efficiency. Decode latency is reduced by pre-calculating repair matrices, storing them in a hashed table and looking them up using a bit mask identifying the erasures to be repaired.

Inter-component de-correlation for video coding

Cross-component prediction (CCP) and adaptive color transform (ACT) may be performed concurrently in a video coding system. CCP and ACT may be enabled / disabled at the same level (e.g. at the transform unit level) via an indicator signaled in the bitstream such as the ACT enable indicator for the CU. Inverse CCP and ACT may be operated at the same level (e.g. at the transform unit level). Prediction residuals may be converted to original color space without waiting for reconstruction of luma and chroma residuals of an entire prediction unit or coding unit. CCP and ACT transforms may be combined into one process to reduce encoding / decoding latency. Differences in dynamic ranges of color components may be compensated by variable dynamic range adjustments. Differences in bit depths between luma and chroma components may be compensated by selectively disabling the ACT coding tool, scaling a component output of the CCP, adjusting a quantization parameters (QPs) and / or shifting a component output of an inverse transform of the video coding system.

Frame Structure For Adaptive Data Communications Over A Plastic Optical Fibre

ActiveUS20130330082A1Efficient communication frame structureTime-division optical multiplex systemsFibre transmissionControl dataPlastic optical fiber
The present invention relates to transmission and reception of data over a plastic optical fibre. In particular, the present invention provides for transmission and reception over the plastic optical fibre a particularly suitable frame structure. The frame structure includes a synchronization sequence and portions of user data alternating with alternating reference signal portions and control data portions. The length of the user data portions may be equal, the length of the synchronization sequence and the control data and reference signal portions may also be equal. The distances between the synchronization sequence and the reference signal portions and the control data portions are advantageously equal. The alternating of data and additional information avoids data decoding latency while maintaining the rate necessary for the additional information.

Method and apparatus for encoding blocks of data with a blocks oriented code and for decoding such blocks with a controllable latency decoding, in particular for a wireless communication system of the WLAN or wpan type

To control a decoding latency, larger blocks are nonequally segmented into smaller ones. The decoding process starts directly after reception of the first small block. The latency is defined by the latency of the last small block decoding. Changing the number of iterations during the turbo-code decoding also permits control of the decoding latency.

Sliding window block codes for cross-packet coding

A block-code-based structure that allows cross-packet coding of data using a sliding window. In this structure, each transmitted packet contains both information symbols and parity symbols generated by the information in previous packets. This code structure allows a receiver to recover lost packets without additional transmissions. If enough packets have been lost so that the receiver cannot recover one or more of them, new parity symbols can be generated and transmitted as additional packets. The parity symbols in these additional packets may be used by multiple receivers. Thus, the sliding window block code reduces retransmission overhead, particularly for multicast applications. Furthermore, the sliding window structure does not produce an encoding delay between the arrival of data and its transmission and reduces the decoding delay between the loss of a packet and its recovery.

Forward error correction coding in communication networks

Methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed for block encoding / decoding information wireless networks having narrow decoding latency restrictions. A method includes identifying a length of information to be sent in a block code and encoding the information to be sent in the block code into one or more codewords, where the number of codewords and the amount of information encoded within each codeword is adjusted based on the identified length and to achieve a similar codeword error probability for each codeword considering available decoding time for decoding a last codeword is less than available decoding time for decoding a first codeword. In certain implementations low density parity check (LDPC) encoding may be used in combination with OFDM to provide reliable communications in a high throughput WLAN.

Apparatus for FEC supporting transmission of variable-length frames in TDMA system and method of using the same

An apparatus for transmitting a FEC frame is provided. The apparatus includes: a selector determining whether to perform FEC encoding on data to be transmitted; a Reed-Solomon encoding assembler receiving the data on which FEC encoding is to be performed as determined by the selector, and dividing the data into k-byte message blocks (k is a positive integer) for output; a Reed-Solomon encoder receiving the message blocks and performing Reed-Solomon encoding on the message blocks; and an output controller receiving an input parity generated by the Reed-Solomon encoding, and outputting the message block and the parity sequentially or outputting the data on which FEC encoding is not to be performed as determined by the selector. In order to correct an error caused by a transmission medium using FEC in a Reed-Solomon code type, FEC encoding / decoding of a frame is performed. A total transmission delay time is not influenced when FEC is bypassed, a delay caused by a shortened codeword is minimized, and a FEC encoding / decoding delays for frames having different lengths are equalized.

Algebraic decoder and method for correcting an arbitrary mixture of burst and random errors

An error correction algebraic decoder and an associated method correct a combination of a B-byte burst of errors and t-byte random errors in a failed sector, by iteratively adding and removing an erasure (N−B) times until the entire failed sector has been scanned, provided the following inequality is satisfied: (B+2t)≦(R−1), where N denotes the number of bytes, B denotes the length of the burst of errors, t denotes the total number of random errors, and R denotes the number of check bytes in the failed sector. This results in a corrected sector at a decoding latency that is a generally linear function of the number of the check bytes R, as follows: Decoding Latency=5R(N−B).

Enhanced block acknowledgement

Embodiments disclosed herein address the need in the art for enhanced block acknowledgement. In one embodiment, a receiver indicates a decoding delay for a maximum size aggregate frame in Block Ack negotiation, which may be used by a transmitter to determine to which Block Ack Request a Block Acknowledgement is responsive. In another embodiment, a Transmission Sequence Number (TSN) may be included in a Block Ack Request. The receiver includes the TSN in the corresponding Block Ack response. This allows the transmitter to determine which frames are ''in transit.'' The TSN may be used to identify blocks. In another embodiment, a TSN may be associated with one or more transmitted frames. While, the TSN is not transmitted with the Block Ack Request, the transmitter may determine which TSN corresponds with a Block Ack response in accordance with acknowledgements contained therein. Combinations of these techniques may be deployed. Various other aspects are also presented.

Receiver and fbmc reception method with low decoding latency

The invention relates to a receiver and a FBMC reception method making it possible to reduce the decoding latency time and to increase the data rate in a communication system using a handshake exchange protocol or a TDMA access protocol. The receiver introduces zero padding values in place of the last samples of the last block of samples of a FBMC packet, without waiting for the end of this packet. The decoding of the FBMC packet is thus decoded more rapidly, without significant degradation of the error rate and without reduction of the out-of-band rejection rate of the FBMC signal.
