Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a streaming media with Forward Error Correction (FEC). Upon receiving the streaming media, the technique includes: encoding, segmenting and packeting frames comprised therein to generate a packetized elementary stream of media packets with variable sizes; for each L sequential media packets, calculating a “random loss” (RL) FEC parity and generating a respective RL FEC packet associated therewith; calculating “burst loss” (BL) FEC parities in accordance with a predefined FEC scheme and generating respective BL FEC structures bearing FEC headers and usable for generating BL FEC packets; calculating size-related parameters of a group of sequential media packets, the group being selected in accordance with the FEC scheme; and, transmitting the packetized elementary stream with interleaved FEC packets. The BL FEC packets are transmitted merely when the calculated size-related parameters meet a size-related burst loss (SRB) criterion defined by the FEC scheme.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for video codec aware RAN configuration and unequal error protection coding. An apparatus includes a processor that detects a video coded traffic stream and a video codec specification used to encode the video coded traffic stream, determines an awareness of video coded traffic application data units (“ADUs”) of the video coded traffic stream as video coded network abstraction layer (“NAL”) units of data, aligns the video coded NAL units of the video coded traffic stream to physical layer (“PHY”) transport elements and subsequent channel coding element partitions for a video coded traffic aware PHY transport, determines a channel coding rate allocation of the channel coding element partitions, and applies a forward error correction (“FEC”) coding given at least the determined channel coding rate allocation of the video coded traffic aware PHY transport to channel coding element partitions for protection against radio transmission errors.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to retransmissions of data within wireless communication networks. For a retransmission, at least a portion of the encoded bits of an original transmission may be mapped to different bit locations in one or more modulated symbols based on a non-random mapping rule. In some examples, the encoded bits of a symbol may be reversed within the symbol for a retransmission. In other examples, the first and last encoded bits within a symbol may be switched for a retransmission. Other non-random mapping rules, such as a bit location offset, may also be used to map encoded bits to different bit locations in the modulated symbol within a retransmission.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure may compensate for cyclic shift delays (CSD) in transmitted signals when estimating angle of arrival information of a wireless signal transmitted by a transmitting device. In some aspects, a receiving device may determine a presence of CSD in the wireless signal, and estimate an angle of arrival of the wireless signal based at least in part on the presence of CSD. For example, the receiving device may determine a first tap of the wireless channel based at least in part on the CSD. The receiving device may then determine a phase difference of the wireless signal between a plurality of antennas of the receiving device based on the first tap of the wireless channel. The receiving device may estimate the angle of arrival of the wireless signal based on the phase difference.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for generating responses to extended length frames having increased symbol lengths without changing the short interframe space duration. According to certain aspects, a method for transmitting an extended length frame generally includes generating a packet having a preamble decodable by a first type of device having a first set of capabilities and a second type of device having a second set of capabilities, wherein at least a first portion of the packet is generated using an increased symbol duration or increased cyclic prefix relative to a second portion of the packet generated using a standard symbol duration or standard cyclic prefix and the packet includes padding symbols after the first portion, and outputting the generated packet for transmission.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for mitigating an unwanted increase in a coding rate of a wireless communication signal. A plurality of symbols including a transmitted codeword is received. The plurality of symbols including a first group of data symbols with a first modulation and coding scheme and a second group of data modulated pilot symbols with a second modulation and coding scheme. Applicable demodulation schemes are adaptively switched for each group of the plurality of symbols. The second group of data modulated pilot symbols are used in lieu of pilot symbols. The second modulation and coding scheme is a more reliable modulation and coding scheme than the first modulation and coding scheme.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a device in a computer network establishes a reliable map that defines a set of packet criteria for which reliability is desired over an unreliable link to a peer device. In response to receiving a first packet from the peer device over the unreliable link, the device acknowledges the first packet to the peer device when the first packet matches the packet criteria of the reliable map. Also, in response to receiving a second packet destined via the peer device over the unreliable link, the device buffers the second packet when the second packet matches the packet criteria of the reliable map and retransmits the buffered second packet over the unreliable link to the peer device until acknowledged by the peer device.
Abstract:
A receiver for receiving data in a broadcast system includes a broadcast receiver that receives via the broadcast system a receiver input data stream including plural channel symbols represented by constellation points in a constellation diagram, a demodulator that demodulates the channel symbols into codewords, and a decoder that decodes the codewords into output data words. A redundancy calculator determines a required amount of redundancy data required for correct demodulation and decoding by use of the originally received channel symbol and additional redundancy data. A broadband request unit requests, if demodulation of a channel symbol and/or decoding of a codeword is erroneous or likely to fail, a required amount of redundancy data via a broadband system, that is received by a broadband receiver via said broadband system. The demodulator and/or the decoder is configured to use the redundancy data for demodulation and decoding, respectively.
