Abstract:
A method for video coding comprising signaling a prediction mode and a partition mode for a coding unit via a string of bits, wherein one of the bits in the string indicates whether or not the partition size for the coding unit is equivalent to the entire coding unit and another of the bits in the string indicates whether the coding unit partitions are horizontal strips or vertical strips, and wherein, when a slice type of the coding unit is either predictive or bi-predictive, one of the bits in the string indicates whether the prediction type is intra or inter.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described including allocating a control channel, listening to the allocated control channel to determine whether there is a transmitted signal, adjusting a time slot count responsive to the listening when there is no transmitted signal detected, determining if the time slot count has reached a threshold, competing for use of a next time slot responsive to the first determination, determining if the competition is successful, transmitting a request-to-send message to a destination node responsive to the second determination receiving a clear-to-send message from a destination node responsive to the request-to-send message and transmitting data to the destination node responsive to the received clear-to-send message, wherein the request-to-send message includes available channel list information, and wherein the clear-to-send message includes, channel selection information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described including receiving a first signal including first data in a first time slot of a first channel (705), receiving a second signal including second data in a second time slot of a second channel (710), determining a first pre-coding matrix (715), determining a second pre-coding matrix (720), applying the first pre-coding matrix to the first data to produce pre-coded first data (725), applying the second pre-coding matrix to the second data to produce pre-coded second data (730), generating a third signal by combining the pre-coded first data and the pre-coded second data (735) and transmitting the third signal on the first channel and on the second channel (740). Also described are a method and apparatus including transmitting a first signal (605), receiving a second signal including a first training sequence (610) and decoding the second signal by removing the first training sequence and removing the first signal (615).
Abstract:
A method of feedforward phase recovery on a data stream is described. Phase estimation base points are calculated, at a phase detector, for each block of the received data stream. A current phase, at a phase interpolator, between two phase estimation base points. Data stream delays within the phase detector are matched with delays within the phase interpolator.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for iterative timing recovery for FTN signaling are provided. The iterative timing recovery method and apparatus uses a feedback timing error signal from a forward error correction block with an additional equalizer prior to a maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoder which matches the equalized FTN signal to a truncated inter-symbol interference (ISI) target. A timing error is then generated using a modified M&M timing error detector.
Abstract:
A method of detecting and correcting cycle slip in a data stream including sync symbol blocks and data symbol blocks prior to feedback carrier recovery is described. A phase ambiguity angle is computed upon detecting a last sync symbol of a sync symbol block in the data stream. A cycle slip corrector initiates cycle slip correction upon determining the computed phase ambiguity angle is different from a previous computed phase ambiguity angle to generate a corrected data stream. The corrected data stream is provided to a feedback carrier recovery circuit.
