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:
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.

摘要:
An access node (101) according to the invention is able to multicast a plurality of video channels to subscribers, and to cache N of these video channels. To select the N video channels for caching, the access node (101) determines for each video channel a weighted sum of the zapping rate rk to channel k and the channel popularity πk. The N video channels that have the highest values for this weighted sum are cached by the access node (101).
