  • Patent number: 8755412
    Abstract: A cross-layer design architecture is provided for logical superposition coded (SPC) modulation for last-hop wireless data, aiming to overcome the effects of multi-user channel diversity in wireless video multicast. The proposed approach generates a logical SPC modulated signal by mapping successively refined information bits onto layered modulation through dynamic energy allocation and phase keying assignment, which mimics the superposition process for multiple modulated signals in convention hardware-based SPC modulation. At the receiver end, the received logical SPC signal is decoded by implementing a software-based approach on common demodulators without going through the signal-interference cancellation (SIC) process that is necessary in the conventional approach.

  • Patent number: 8724487
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a plurality of packets and generating a data record that is based on information associated with the packets. The data record includes a synchronized time window field that defines a time boundary at which data aggregation associated with the data record is stopped, where the synchronized time window field remains constant as the data aggregation associated with the data record occurs. In other embodiments, the method includes creating a new cache entry for new packets arriving at a network element, where the new cache entry is created in response to a value of the synchronized time window field changing. The synchronized time window field can include a window size attribute that defines how long the synchronized time window remains unchanged.
