Abstract: Provided is an encoder including: circuitry; and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry: performs a mapping process of Luma Mapping with Chroma Scaling (LMCS) for transforming a first pixel value space applied to a luma display image signal into a second pixel value space applied to a luma encoding process signal, using line segments forming a transform curve, each of which corresponds to a different one of sections obtained by partitioning the first pixel value space; and encodes an image, and in the performing of the LMCS, the circuitry determines the transform curve so that among boundary values in the second pixel value space, a first value obtained by dividing a boundary value by a base width defined according to a bit depth of the image is not equal to a second value obtained by dividing another boundary value by the base width.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a user device, a base station, a method for data transmission/reception by a user device, and a method for data reception/transmission by a base station. The user device comprises circuitry which, in operation, receives a parameter defining a rule for assigning to ports respective resources for carrying reference signals, generates, based on a mapping known to the user device and the base station, a set of layer-to-port mapping combinations, and receives, from the base station, control information indicating one of the set of layer-to-port mapping combinations which is to be applied for data transmission and/or reception.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry: derives a motion vector of a current block by referring to at least one reference picture different from a picture to which the current block belongs; performs a mode for estimating, for each sub-block unit of sub-blocks obtained by splitting the current block, a surrounding region of the motion vector to correct the motion vector; determines whether to apply deblocking filtering to each of boundaries between neighboring ones of the sub-blocks; and applies the deblocking filtering to the boundary, based on a result of the determination.

Abstract: An encoder which encodes a video including a plurality of pictures includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry performs: encoding a first picture among the plurality of pictures; and performing (i) a first operation for encoding a parameter set for a second picture which follows the first picture in coding order among the plurality of pictures after encoding the first picture, and encoding the second picture after encoding the parameter set, or (ii) a second operation for encoding the second picture without encoding the parameter set after encoding the first picture. The circuitry performs the first operation when the second picture is a determined picture, in the performing of the first operation or the second operation.

Abstract: An encoding device includes: memory; and a circuit. In operation, the circuit: when a first triangle satisfies a condition, performs a first process including a process of using the first triangle to derive a predicted value of a current vertex to be encoded of a second triangle; when the first triangle does not satisfy the condition, performs a second process including a process of using a third triangle different from the first triangle and the second triangle to derive the predicted value of the current vertex; and encodes the current vertex using the predicted value.

Abstract: An encoding method includes determining video format information, (i) setting each of all frames or all fields which are included in the video, as a picture, regardless of whether the video format is the interlace format or the progressive format, (ii) setting a POC indicating display order to each of all of the set pictures one by one, the POC being different each other, and encoding a picture to be encoded which is the frame or the field with reference to a picture previously encoded before encoding the picture to be encoded. In the encoding, the video is encoded with a syntax structure which is not dependent on the video format, the video format information is encoded in a header of a sequence which is a unit of the video, and the encoded bit stream is generated.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a user equipment (UE) and base station (BS) involved in an improved physical random access channel, PRACH, transmission. The UE configures, based on a received unlicensed channel access configuration, symbols of an occupancy time of the respective unlicensed channel for uplink communication; receives an indication of a timing of channel resources which are to be used for a PRACH transmission; determines whether or not the indicated timing of channel resources is included within the symbols configured for uplink communication; if successful, performs a clear channel assessment, CCA, for a gap duration before the start of the indicated timing of channel resources which are to be used for the PRACH transmission; and if successful, transmits a random access, RA, preamble within the symbols configured for uplink communication at the indicated timing of channel resources which are to be used for the PRACH transmission.
