  • Patent number: 10068578
    Abstract: A method for recovering lost frame in a media bitstream is provided. When a frame loss event occurs, a decoder obtains a synthesized high frequency band signal of a current lost frame, and recovery information related to the current lost frame. The decoder determines a global gain gradient of the current lost frame, and further determines a global gain of the current lost frame according to the global gain gradient and a global gain of each frame in previous M frames of the current lost frame. A high frequency band signal of the current lost frame is obtained by adjusting the synthesized high frequency band signal of the current lost frame according to the global gain and a subframe gain of the current lost frame. The process enables natural and smooth transitions of the high frequency band signal between the frames, and attenuates noises in the high frequency band signal.

  • Patent number: 9977745
    Abstract: A router requests a reservation for an egress port prior to dequeuing data from an ingress port data queue. A request is also made for the allocation of a buffer. After the reservation is received and a buffer is allocated, the data is copied the ingress port data queue to the buffer, and an identifier of the buffer is enqueued to an identifier queue of the egress port. After the identifier is dequeued, the data is copied from the buffer to an egress data queue of the egress port, and the buffer is released for reallocation. The buffer can be released prior to completion of the data being copied from the buffer. The queues associated with the egress port determine whether their depths equal or exceed a threshold associated with the respective egress queues. If one or more of the depths does equal or exceed the associated threshold, the granting of reservations for the egress port are postponed.
