  • Patent number: 11178440
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method that enable correct clock synchronization by use of clock information. The data processing apparatus receives a digital broadcast signal so as to process content included in the digital broadcast signal and clock information also included therein for use in presentation synchronization on the content and sends via a transmission path the processed content and clock information to another data processing apparatus that presents the received content. On the other hand, the another data processing apparatus receives via the transmission path the content and clock information sent from the data processing apparatus so as to process presentation synchronization on the received content on the basis of the received clock information. The present technology is applicable to data processing apparatuses configured to process content, for example.

  • Patent number: 11171814
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for providing channel feedback for multiple spatial streams. In some implementations, the techniques involve generating distinct channel estimates for different respective sets of orthogonal spatial streams. In some implementations, the orthogonality of the different sets of orthogonal spatial streams enables the beamformee to distinguish the spatial streams to provide the separate channel estimates. The beamformee may then determine separate correlations for the different respective sets of spatial streams. In some implementations, the beamformee combines the correlations to determine an average correlation for each of a number of sets of frequency tones. The beamformee may then perform an eigenvalue decomposition on a tone-by-tone basis based on the respective average correlation and the channel estimate obtained for the tone.
