A method and apparatus for processing a video frame is provided. The method includes dividing the video frame into pixel blocks each including a reference pixel; calculating difference values between the reference pixel and pixels neighboring the reference pixel; converting the calculated difference values into values that belong to a bit depth range; and performing entropy coding by using the converted difference values as symbols.

A method and system for transmission of video information is provided. A transmitting wireless station performs chroma partitioning of pixels in a video frame into different partitions. The chroma partitioning includes separating luminance (Y) information from chrominance information (CB and CR) of each pixel in a set of spatially correlated pixels. The luminance (Y) information are placed into different partitions. The different partitions into different packets and transmitted over a wireless communication medium to a receiving wireless station. The video information is selectively adapted to a lower data transmission rate with reduced quality degradation by dropping less important partitions.

A high accuracy clock synchronization mechanism between a sender and a receiver in a communication network achieves time synchronization using broadcast beacons, directly at the PHY/MAC layer of the sender and the receiver, to minimize synchronization delay jitter. This provides a more efficient synchronization method than either NTP or SNTP, because multiple handshaking information exchange is avoided. Further, using beacons avoids the overhead of introducing additional synchronization packets in higher layer synchronization.

A method and system for wireless communication over a wireless communication medium is provided. A schedule is generated which indicates when a wireless communication station may enter a power saving state in an announcement time (AT) period, based on an idle timeout interval in the AT period. The AT period comprises a period after a beacon transmission in a beacon interval.

A system and method for use of a short beacon in a wireless communication network is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises generating a short beacon comprising PHY information, wherein the short beacon excludes MAC information and transmitting the short beacon via the wireless network. In general, three types of short beacons are disclosed, a first type consisting only of a PHY preamble, a second type also including a PHY header, and a third type also including a MAC header. In addition, the scheme of common beacons and individual beacons is described. Common beacons are broadcast omni-directional at the beginning of each superframe with low data rate and individual beacons are unicast to individual devices directionally with high data rate. A common beacon contains information intended for all of the devices of the network. An individual beacon contains information intended for one particular device.

A system and method of performing a beam discovery between a device and a plurality of other devices in a wireless network is disclosed. Sector training sequences to a plurality of other devices are transmitted via a transmit directional antenna having a set of transmit sectors. A plurality of feedback messages are received from the plurality of other devices, where the plurality of feedback messages are indicative of optimum transmit sectors that have been determined at the other devices based at least in part on the sector training sequences. Beam training sequences are transmitted to the plurality of other devices via the transmit directional antenna. A plurality of feedback message indicative of optimum transmit beam directions within the optimum transmit sectors are received from the plurality of other devices.

A system and method for wireless communication of uncompressed media data having media data packet synchronization are disclosed. One embodiment of the system includes a source configured to transmit media data packets such that they propagate over a wireless channel and at least one sink configured to receive the media data packets over the wireless channel from the source. The media data packets are spaced apart from one another by at least one interleaved time. The system is configured to detect propagation of the media data packets, and to determine propagation delays of the media data packets. The source is further configured to determine a jitter between the media data packets based on the determined propagation delays. The source is further configured to adjust the transmission of the media data packets in response to the determination of the jitter.

摘要:
A method synchronizes a transmit clock of a transmitter with a receive clock of a receiver in a wireless communications network. Times t1, t2, t3, and t4 of the transmit clock corresponding times t1′, t2′, t3′, and t4′ of the receive clock. A synchronization message is generated in a media access control layer of the transmitter at the time t1. The time t1 is inserted in the synchronization message when the synchronization message is passed from the media access layer to a physical layer at the time t2. Then, the synchronization message including the time t1 is broadcast. The synchronization message is received from the physical layer in the receiver, at which time the time t3′ is obtained. The received message is passed to a media access control layer of the receiver, and the receive clock is adjusted by adding the time t1′−t3′ to the current time of the receive clock.
