    摘要: The present invention relates to a new error control paradigm in a packet switched network that is particularly advantageous for multicast transmission.A transmission Status Vector TSV (T) is updated at the sender side whenever a new outgoing data packet (Dj−1) is scheduled for transmission. A corresponding Reception status Vector RSV (R) is similarly updated at the receive side whenever a new incoming and correctly indexed data packet (Dj−1) is validly received.As soon as a missing or corrupted data packet (Dj) is detected, the update of the RSV is suspended. A request is then sent to the sender to get the current Tsv's value, or a part thereof. The erroneous data packet is then recovered from the current TSV's value (Sk,m), from the lastly updated RSV's value (Sj−1), and from otherwise validly received data packets (Dj+1, . . . , Dk).The present invention more specifically relates to a transmitting unit (100) and a receiving unit (200) implementing that paradigm, and correspondingly to a method for protecting a flow of indexed data packets against data lost or data corruption, and a method for recovering a missing or corrupted data packet within a flow of indexed data packets.

A network unit according to the invention is characterized in that the video transmitting means is further adapted to transmit the video channel within the dedicated multimedia stream ahead of time with respect to transmission of the video channel within the common multimedia stream, and in that the video channel is to be initially played at an averagely slower motion speed (β, β′, β″, β′″), thereby allowing transmission of the video channel to be resumed with the common multimedia stream. The present invention also relates to a decoding device, to a method for transmitting a video channel, and to a method for receiving and playing that video video channel.

    摘要: The invention concerns a data packet retransmission arrangement having a retransmission buffer, a counter, a forward error correction device and control logic. The retransmission buffer stores recently transmitted data packets. The counter keeps track of the number of retransmission requests received for a data packet (211). If this number is below a first integer value K, the data packet is retransmitted (212, 213). If this number is equal to or above the first integer value K, the forward error correction device calculates N forward error correction packets on L-1 recently transmitted data packets plus the data packet to be retransmitted (211), N being a second integer value equal to or larger than zero, and L being a third integer value equal to or larger than 1. In the latter case, the data packet is retransmitted together with the N forward error correction packets (214).

    摘要: A method of allocating resources for transmitting content from a network element in a communications network to one or more mobile devices each in communication with the network element may include receiving, at the network element, characteristic information corresponding to each of the one or more mobile devices; and generating one or more adaptive guaranteed bit rate (AGBR) values at the network element corresponding to each of the one or more mobile devices, respectively. The AGBR values may be GBR values generated for each of the one or more mobile devices based on the corresponding characteristic information. A first scheduling algorithm may be executed at the network element based on the one or more AGBR values; and resources may be allocated to the one or more mobile devices based on an output of the scheduling algorithm.
