Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media described herein can be operable to facilitate different reporting treatment for certain join requests received during a fast channel change. A gateway device may automatically detect the FCC (Fast Channel Change) via a configured interval. The gateway device may be configured such that if a subsequent IGMP (Internet group management protocol) join request was received within the configured interval since a previous join request, the previous join request may be ignored. According to the configuration of the gateway device, in a FCC, only the first channel and the last channel are reported, and the middle channel changes may be ignored.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an access point, a method, a medium, and a computer program product for the access point.

Abstract: A network device for providing a LAN GUI to a client device. The network device receives a request for access by the client device to the LAN GUI. The network device analyzes a LAN GUI access whitelist and determines whether the client device is in the LAN GUI access whitelist. The client device is granted access to the LAN GUI without receiving a password from the client device when the client device is determined to be in the LAN GUI access whitelist. An address entry page may be presented to add the MAC address of the client device to the LAN GUI access whitelist and a password page may be presented to display the LAN GUI password. When the client device is not in the LAN GUI access list, a login page is presented for entering the password to obtain access to the LAN GUI.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes method for automated video quality assurance. Test video and corresponding reference video comprising plurality of test frames and reference frames is received. Plurality of test frames is compared with plurality of reference frames. Synchronized output list having one or more test frames is generated until each test frame matches each reference frame in sequential order. When test frame fails to match reference frame (i) an unmatched test frame or reference frame is shifted; and (ii) set of subsequent test frames is compared with set of subsequent reference frames. When set of subsequent test frames matches set of subsequent reference frames, synchronized output list is updated by adding set of subsequent test frames. When set of subsequent test frames fails to match set of subsequent reference frames, each of remaining test frames is compared with reference frames and synchronized output list is updated.

Abstract: A method of decoding JVET video includes receiving a bitstream and calculating a final planar prediction in planar mode to predict pixel values for a current coding block. The final planar prediction may rely on using unequal weights applied to each of a horizontal and vertical predictor, where such predictors may be generated by interpolating neighboring pixels for each predicted pixel within a coding block. The computation may be made more accurate by deriving a value for a bottom right neighboring pixel.

Abstract: A client device uses a hostname-based feature mapping table. A randomized MAC address and a hostname of the client device is obtained from the memory of the client device. A user interface receives a selection. to indicate the hostname is to be changed to a new hostname. The client device is associated with a network access device when the new hostname is determined to be unique. A list of features and associated rules are displayed in the user interface for associating with the new hostname. Features and associated rules are selected from the list to link to the new hostname. A feature mapping table is presented in the user interface to show the features and associated rules linked to the new hostname.

Abstract: A product rendering controller (PRC) manages the overall process of creating video-on-demand (VOD) assets or products from source assets that are obtained from a wide variety of different content sources (e.g., web-based sources) and which are in a wide variety of different native media formats. The source assets are converted to video transport streams such as an MPEG transport stream and transcoded as necessary to create the VOD products. The PRC determines the VOD products that need to be generated, pre-caches data that is to be incorporated into VOD products, and selects the pool of video product generators that is to be used to convert the source assets to VOD products.

Abstract: Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein relate to a modem having a processor including a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) driver. The UEFI driver can be configured to provide a software interface between an operating system for the modem and firmware for the modem. The modem can include a boot diagnostic driver configured to run from the UEFI driver and execute a diagnostic test when the modem is booting up. The boot diagnostic driver can be configured to generate a signal based on a result of the diagnostic test.

Abstract: The present disclosure recites techniques for content delivery in an MABR system.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for more timely utilization of citizen broadband radio service device(s) (CBSD(s)) of a plurality of CBSDs. Prior to activation of CBSD(s) of a plurality of CBSDs, frequency spectra in which each CBSD can transmit is obtained from the SAS and a transmission frequency spectrum for each CBSD is selected from the obtained frequency spectra.

Abstract: A system for software download compatibility.
