    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for transmitting a digital content stream through a network between at least one content server and a content player. The method includes communicating with the at least one content server to set up a plurality of parallel network connections on the network to transmit the digital content stream. The method further includes sending a first data request and a second data request within a first time limit via at least one tested network connection in the plurality of parallel network connections to evaluate whether pipelining of the digital content stream is possible for the at least one tested network connection. The method also includes utilizing pipelining to transmit the digital content stream over the at least one tested network connection based on a first response to the first data request and a second response to the second data request.

    摘要: To make it possible to perform retransmission control in which wireless resources are more efficiently utilized, a wireless communication apparatus includes: a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with a terminal apparatus; a communication control unit configured to control multicast transmission performed by the wireless communication unit; and a setting unit configured to set a threshold for determining whether or not it is necessary for the communication control unit to perform a retransmission process, on the basis of information about reception of a reception acknowledgment response corresponding to the multicast transmission from the terminal apparatus.

    摘要: Streaming media, such as audio or video files, is sent via the Internet. The media are immediately played on a user's computer. Audio/video data is transmitted from the server under control of a transport mechanism. A server buffer is prefilled with a predetermined amount of the audio/video data. When the transport mechanism causes data to be sent to the user's computer, it is sent more rapidly than it is played out by the user system. The audio/video data in the user buffer accumulates; and interruptions in playback as well as temporary modem delays are avoided.

    摘要: Methods for generating a transport stream (e.g., an MPEG-2 transport stream) such that the transport stream has at least one perfect splicing property, and/or such that the transport stream is indicative of at least one audio/video program and includes metadata indicative of whether the program has a perfect splicing property. Other aspects are methods for splicing such a transport stream, audio/video processing units (e.g., splicers) configured to perform any embodiment of the inventive method, and audio/video processing units which include a buffer memory which stores at least one segment of transport stream generated in accordance with any embodiment of the inventive method.

    摘要: A video encoding device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may transmit an encoded frame with a frame sequence number using a transmission protocol. The video encoding device, an application on the video encoding device, and/or a protocol layer on the encoding device may detect a packet loss by receiving an error notification. The packet loss may be detected at the MAC layer. The packet loss may be signaled using spoofed packets, such as a spoofed NACK packet, a spoofed XR packet, or a spoofed ACK packet. A lost packet may be retransmitted at the MAC layer (e.g., by the encoding device or another device on the wireless path). Packet loss detection may be performed in uplink operations and/or downlink operations, and/or may be performed in video gaining applications via the cloud. The video encoding device may generate and send a second encoded frame based on the error notification.
