SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO GENERATE COPIES OF DATA FOR TRANSMISSION OVER MULTIPLE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
Publication number: 20230146420Abstract: Systems and methods to transmit data over multiple communication channels in parallel with forward error correction. Original packets are evenly distributed to the channels as the initial systematically channel-encoded packets. Subsequent channel-encoded packets are configured to be linearly independent of their base sets of channel-encoded packets, where a base set for a subsequent channel-encoded packet includes those scheduled to be transmitted before the subsequent packet in the same channel as the subsequent packet, and optionally one or more initial packets from other channels. The compositions of the sequences of the encoded packets can be predetermined without the content of the packets; and the channel-encoded packets can be generated from the original packets on-the-fly by the transmitters of the channels during transmission. When a sufficient number of packets have been received via the channels, a recipient may terminate their transmissions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Mingchao Yu, Mark Craig Reed -
