48 results about "Packet schedule" patented technology

A packet schedule timestamp is provided. A schedule information packet includes a packet schedule timestamp that represents the relative timing of data packets in a particular bitstream of a multiplexed transport stream. The schedule information packet further provides information about the timing of packets within a bitstream or multiple bitstreams before actual packet arrivals. Look-ahead processing techniques are provided to improve the efficiency of compressed bitstream storage and delivery, such as program stream to transport stream conversion and statistical multiplexing. The packet schedule information can be inserted into the bitstream it describes for transmission or storage with it. Other features, such as timing reconstruction, are also provided. The packet schedule information can be used to reconstruct the timing of the transport packets to their original state.

A system, modem, receiver, transmitter and method for improving transmission performance. A coefficient may be calculated using a received signal. A process may be performed on at least one data packet scheduled for transmission based on the calculated coefficient. The process may improve transmission performance.

The invention includes an apparatus and method for switching packets through a switching fabric. The apparatus includes a plurality of input ports and output ports for receiving arriving packets and transmitting departing packets, a switching fabric for switching packets from the input ports to the output ports, and a plurality of schedulers controlling switching of packets through the switching fabric. The switching fabric includes a plurality of virtual output queues associated with a respective plurality of input-output port pairs. One of the schedulers is active during each of a plurality of timeslots. The one of the schedulers active during a current timeslot provides a packet schedule to the switching fabric for switching packets through the switching fabric during the current timeslot. The packet schedule is computed by the one of the schedulers active during the current timeslot using packet departure information for packets departing during previous timeslots during which the one of the schedulers was active and packet arrival information for packets arriving during previous timeslots during which the one of the schedulers was active.

The present invention provides an energy-saving method and an energy-saving system for a communication base station. The energy-saving method includes the following steps: S3. Scheduling unscheduled data packets within the scheduling period, and preferentially scheduling the data packets to a certain location within the scheduling period. The nth symbol of the time slot, wherein, the duration of the scheduling cycle is longer than the duration of the time slot, and the n is a natural number and the value range is the number of symbols of the time slot; S5, the data packet scheduled into the nth symbol is given priority Exhaust the number of available resource blocks of the carrier bandwidth; if the data packet scheduled to the nth symbol has not exhausted the number of available resource blocks of the carrier bandwidth, the process enters step S501; if the scheduled to the nth If the data packets in the symbol can exhaust the available resource blocks of the carrier bandwidth, but the remaining data packets do not exhaust the available resource blocks of the carrier bandwidth, then the process enters step S503 or S505. The invention can reduce the energy consumption of the base station.
