Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for decoding a moving picture that determines a quantization step size of a previous coding block according to scan order as the quantization step size predictor of the current coding block when a quantization step size of a left coding block of a current coding block and a quantization step size of an above coding block of the current coding block are unavailable and determines an available motion vector encountered first when retrieving motion vectors in the order of motion vector of a first predetermined position and motion vector of a second predetermined position in a reference picture as a temporal motion vector candidate. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of coding bits required to decode motion information and the quantization step size of the current prediction block.

Abstract: A network node, such as a Wi-Fi Access Point/Authenticator, is able to obtain a permanent device identity of a wireless device requesting authentication, in case the wireless device has only provided an alias. This is achieved by the network node intercepting an authentication message from the wireless device, wherein the authentication message includes a signaled identity of the wireless device, and extracts the signaled identity. In case the extracted identity is an alias and not a permanent identity of the wireless device, the network node responsively manipulates at least one further authentication message to cause the wireless device to signal its permanent identity in a subsequent authentication message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining non-linear precoding coefficients are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of determining non-linear precoding coefficients for transmitting at least one frequency tone on lines includes obtaining a channel matrix that relates an input of the lines to an output of the lines for the at least one frequency tone. The method also includes computing a metric for each line in a subset of the lines and determining a line order for the subset of the lines based on the metric for each line in the subset of the lines. The method also includes reordering elements of the channel matrix based on the line order for the subset of the lines to create a reordered channel matrix and determining the non-linear precoding coefficients based on the reordered channel matrix. This may provide a systematic way to sort lines and balance the bit rates between different lines.

Abstract: A session management involves registering at least one IPTV application in a registration table so that the registration table includes at least a respective identifier of the IPTV applications. The IPTV applications are invokable at a set top box and can be so-called embedded applications and/or browser-based applications. An event requiring the invocation of an IPTV application at the set top box is detected and triggers a look-up in the registration table. The registration table is thus used as source to indicate those IPTV applications that are potentially available and can be launched at the set top box. One of the registered applications is launched for the purpose of handling the detected event.

Abstract: Blocking artifacts at a block boundary between a block and a neighboring block in a video frame are reduced by calculating an offset based on pixel values of pixels in a line of pixels in the block and based on pixel values of pixels in a corresponding line of pixels in the neighboring block. The offset is added to the pixel value of the pixel closest to the block boundary in the line of pixels and is subtracted from the pixel value of the pixel closest to the block boundary in the corresponding line of pixels. The resulting deblocking filter has good low-pass characteristics and is efficient for reducing blocking artifact.
