Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for transmitting an IPTV streaming service by P2P transmission comprises the steps of collecting TS packets of n skipped units to generate an encapsulation unit for an IPTV streaming service (where n is a natural number); adding an extension header containing type information to the generated encapsulation unit (wherein, said type information is information for identifying the sequence of the encapsulation unit, which is required for decoding the IPTV streaming service); adding an IP header to the encapsulation unit to which the extension header containing the type information is added, in order to generate an IP packet; and transmitting the generated IP packet to at least one super peers.
Abstract:
In one example, a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) sends first bandwidth allocation messages to a first upstream transmit interface on a cable modem and send second bandwidth allocation messages to a second upstream transmit interface on the cable modem. The bandwidth allocation messages indicate transmit windows for the cable modem to range over the interfaces. The transmit windows included in the first bandwidth allocation messages are spaced based on receipt of ranging requests from the second upstream transmit interface, and the transmit windows included in the second bandwidth allocation messages are spaced based on receipt of ranging requests from the first upstream transmit interface.
Abstract:
A digital signal coding apparatus and method for making a compression coding by dividing a digital signal in predetermined transmission units are disclosed. The apparatus includes an arithmetic coding unit, a binarization unit, a probability of occurrence generation unit, and a coding unit. The arithmetic coding unit compresses the digital signal of the transmission unit by arithmetic coding. The binarization unit generates a binarization rule determined based on a type of coding data, and the probability of occurrence generation unit provides the probability of occurrence of symbol generated by the binarization rule. The coding unit performs arithmetic coding of the digital signal of the transmission unit based on the generated probability of occurrence.
Abstract:
A control data transmission and reception period of, for example, 1 ms is provided for each frame of a digital broadcast signal. The digital broadcast signal is intermittently transmitted. In the intermittent transmission, the transmitting device stops the digital broadcast signal from being sent during the control data transmission and reception period. At the same time, control data is transmitted during the control data transmission and reception period. In other words, a beacon signal is sent from a transmitting device to a wireless television receiver as control data, between the intermittent transmissions of the digital broadcast signal. Having received the beacon signal, the wireless television receiver returns a request signal to the transmitting device. As a result, communication between the transmitting device and the wireless television receiver can be established.

A media appliance comprising: video apparatus for outputting signals to a screen; a network interface for accessing a packet-based network; a memory storing a communication client application; and processing apparatus arranged to execute the communication client application. The client application is configured to allow a local user of the media appliance to participate in bidirectional communication sessions with other remote users via the network interface and packet-based network. The client application is further configured so as: to receive an invitation signal from a remote user terminal over the packet-based network, the received invitation signal comprising a trigger condition specifying a future event for triggering participation of the media appliance in a proposed one of said communication sessions with said remote user terminal; to monitor the received trigger condition at said media appliance; and to join the proposed session in dependence on an occurrence of said event.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving multiband broadcasting using scalable video coding, which can solve a limitation of a transmission band in a multichannel satellite broadcasting service and increase availability of a satellite broadcasting service by scalably encoding video data and transmitting the data using a different transmission band for each layer. The apparatus for transmitting multiband broadcasting using scalable video coding includes: a scalable video encoder for scalably encoding video data to generate a scalable video stream having multiple layers; a multiplexer for multiplexing the scalable video elementary stream having multiple layers, a compressed audio elementary stream, and program specification information to generate a transport stream (TS); and a multiband transmitter for separating packets of the TS into multiple TSs according to pre-given priority information and transmitting the packet streams using a different transmission band.
Abstract:
A transmitter generates MUX-PDUs for video, audio, data, and/or control streams based on a fixed PHY packet size such that all or a substantial percentage of the MUX-PDUs conform to the PHY packet size. The MUX-PDUs have variable sizes and are mapped to PHY packets such that (1) each MUX-PDU that is smaller than the PHY packet size is sent in one PHY packet and (2) each MUX-PDU that is larger than the PHY packet size is sent in a minimum number of PHY packets. Each MUX-PDU is padded with one or more null MUX-PDUs and/or one or more padding bytes, if needed, to obtain the PHY packet size. Each PHY packet is sent in one transmission time interval (TTI) to a receiver. The receiver performs the complementary processing on the received PHY packets to recover the MUX-PDUs. The receiver forwards each valid MUX-PDU and discards any padding.
