  • Publication number: 20240107325
    Abstract: A computer system (such as a controller) that selects channels and/or channel widths for use during communication in a shared band of frequencies is described. During operation, the computer system may receive, associated with access points in a region (such as a zone), information specifying unavailable channels associated with the shared band of frequencies, where the unavailable channels are currently used by the access points. For example, the information may be included in access-point status reports from the access points. Then, based at least in part on the unavailable channels, the computer system may determine the channels and/or the channel widths for use by the access points during communication in the shared band of frequencies in the region. Next, the computer system may provide, addressed to the access points, second information specifying the determined channels and/or the channel width.

  • Patent number: 11943494
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively adjusting a slew rate of a dejitter buffer in a remote device in a distributed access architecture. The slew rate may be adjusted based on measurements of a fullness state of a buffer made over time. The measurements may be used to calculate a frequency offset value between the rate at which data leaves the buffer relative to the rate at which data enters the buffer and/or used to calculate a current working depth of the buffer. The adaptive slew rate adjustments may be based on the frequency offset value and/or the current working depth.

  • Patent number: 11936858
    Abstract: A second level intra prediction mode can be combined with one or more of sixty-seven JVET intra prediction modes during encoding of a coding unit in a video bitstream. Embodiments include making a position dependent intra prediction combination (PDPC) mode available as the second level intra prediction mode. In embodiments, when a PDPC (position dependent intra prediction combination) mode is enabled, the second level intra prediction is combined with one of the 67 selected intra predictor modes. In embodiments, the PDPC mode is only enabled or available for a predetermined subset of intra prediction modes (out of 67 possible modes), in order to reduce encoder complexity and potentially improve coding efficiency. The PDPC mode may be identifies as enabled or available by a list of modes or signaling in the video bitstream.
