  • Methods and apparatuses for use in switching between streaming video bitstreams
    Patent number: 8576919
    Abstract: Improved methods and apparatuses are provided for switching of streaming data bitstreams, such as streaming data bitstreams typically used in video streaming and other related applications. Some desired functionalities provided herein include random access, fast forward and fast backward, error-resilience and bandwidth adaptation. The improved methods and apparatuses can be configured to increase coding efficiency of and/or reduce the amount of data needed to encode a switching bitstream.
    Type: Grant

  • Arbitrary resolution change downsizing decoder
    Publication number: 20070058713
    Abstract: Arbitrary resolution change downsizing decoding is described. In one aspect, an encoded bitstream is received. The encoded bitstream is downscaled in a DCT domain-decoding loop to generate downscaled data.

  • Congestion control mechanism for streaming media
    Patent number: 7099954
    Abstract: Streaming media applications, e.g., sent over the Internet with TCP, can suffer from various fluctuations and low utilization due to TCP's Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion control mechanism. Improved methods and apparatuses are provided in which Logarithm-based Rate Control algorithms are employed to better utilize available bandwidth and/or control and smooth the sending rate of the streaming media.
