Abstract: There are provided an apparatus and a method for encoding an image for a mobile telecommunication handset. The image is divided into the stripe blocks and the number of the phase of wavelet transform is determined depending on the size of the image. The divided image stripe block is wavelet-transformed depending to the determined number of the phase. The wavelet-transformed high-frequency components is granular-quantized and the wavelet-transformed low-frequency components is DPCM-encoded. Thus, computing load and memory capacity can be lessened, maintaining the image of good quality in the mobile telecommunication handset.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the method includes obtaining a reference frame picture list including multiple reference frame pictures and determining reference frame picture index of the multiple reference frame pictures in the reference frame picture list based on display order information for the multiple reference frame pictures. Motion vector information for the current field macroblock and a reference field picture index associated with the current field marcoblock are obtained. A reference field picture having a different parity from the current field macroblock is selected if the reference field picture index is an odd value. The current macroblock is decoded based on the motion vector information and the selected reference field picture.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the method includes determining reference picture index numbers in a reference picture list. The reference picture index numbers increase for reference pictures having a decreasing display order with respect to a picture including the macroblock. The reference picture index numbers increase for reference pictures having an increasing display order with respect to the picture including the macroblock. The reference picture index numbers of the reference pictures having a decreasing display order are less than the reference picture index numbers of the reference pictures having an increasing display order.
Abstract: A method for transmitting signals for interference randomization is disclosed. The method for transmitting signals includes spreading the transmission signals using a plurality of orthogonal codes and transmitting the transmission signals spread by the plurality of orthogonal codes by a spatial frequency block coding (SFBC) or spatial time block coding (STBC) scheme. Among the plurality of orthogonal codes, codes of which mutual interferences are equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold are grouped to the same group, and orthogonal codes belonging to different groups are used for the spreading of the signals which are transmitted at the same timing. Accordingly, it is possible to realize interference randomization.

Abstract: A digital television transmitter and a method of coding main and enhanced data in the digital television transmitter are disclosed. In the digital television transmitter, a byte-symbol converter converts main and enhanced data packets into symbols, wherein at least one of the enhanced data packets may include data place holders for known data symbols. A known data generator generates a known data symbol. A symbol processor processes a first symbol outputted from the byte-symbol converter. Herein, the symbol processor may post-decode a first bit of the known data symbol and output the post-decoded bit and an initialization data bit when the first symbol is a symbol representing one of the place holders. A trellis encoder has one or more memories for trellis-encoding a second symbol outputted from the symbol processor, wherein the memories are initialized when the initialization data bit is processed in the trellis encoder.
