Abstract: An encoding or transcoding system uses hypothetical reference decoder occupancy data to at least calculate parameters for output buffers for data streams. An output thread receives HRD buffer occupancy data and calculates buffer occupancy based on duration, rather than absolute occupancy, and correlates the HRD buffer occupancy data with target durations for buffered packets prior to release from the buffer.

Abstract: Techniques for parallel testing of multiple mobile devices simultaneously at an MCellblock are described. In one example, an MCellblock receives a request to perform a test run on multiple mobile devices located at the MCellblock. The request includes multiple test scripts that can be used by the MCellblock to execute a test run on each of the multiple mobile devices. The MCellblock creates a thread for each of the multiple mobile devices to perform the test run. Then, the MCellblock performs the test run on each of the multiple mobile devices located at the MCellblock simultaneously via each of the threads. Performing the test run includes executing a test script on each of the respective multiple mobile devices. The MCellblock monitors the multiple mobile devices as the test run is performed for results of the test run, and outputs the results of the test run.

Abstract: A T-SDN controller including a T-LSP manager, a temporal path element, a T-TED, a T-LDB, a T-LSPDB, and a network interface. The T-LSP receives a path request including time intervals and a set of constraints.

The network interface permits the T-LSP manager to communicate with the nodes in the network to establish a temporal LSP along the path as computed.
