  • Systems and methods for enhanced video encoding
    Patent number: 11973956
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced video encoding identify patterns in sequences of raw digital video frames to extract features and identify the type of content represented by the extracted features. The system simulates many outcomes of encoding the sequence of digital video frames by using various different encoding strategies to find the relative best encoding strategy for each sequence of frames. As the encoder processes video, it passes digital video frames to a modeling system which determines whether the video, or video having that same type of content, has been previously observed by the system. The system then selectively applies a saved encoding strategy that had been determined by the system to be particularly suitable for encoding the same sequence of video frames or that same type of content.

  • METHOD FOR MANAGING RADIO RESOURCES IN A CELLULAR NETWORK BY MEANS OF A HYBRID MAPPING OF RADIO CHARACTERISTICS
    Publication number: 20240137956
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing radio resources in a cellular network. For each node of interest (Nj) of the network, a set (Vj(t)) of neighbouring nodes is determined. Each neighbouring node (Ni?Vj(t)) performs a local observation of its environment (oi(t,f)) and extracts thereform a plurality of radio characteristics, then encodes each of these radio characteristics in the form of a message (mi,jk(t,f)) which is transmitted to the node of interest. The node of interest then generates a local mapping (?jk(t,f)) of each radio characteristic by aggregating the messages encoding this characteristic. Afterwards, the different local mappings are fused using fusion parameters so as to provide a hybrid local mapping (?ja(t,f)) of the radio characteristics.
