  • Patent number: 12250386
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for video compression. The present implementations more specifically relate to video compression techniques that account for spatial-temporal changes in pixel values. In some aspects, an encoder may determine a change importance factor (CIF) for each image tile of a current image to be encoded. The encoder may calculate the CIF for an image tile of the current image (the “current image tile”) based on a degree of variation among the pixel values in the current image tile, a degree of change between the current image tile and a respective image tile of a previously-encoded image (the “previous image tile”), and a degree of variation among the pixel values in the previous image tile. In some implementations, the encoder may determine whether to transmit each of the current image tiles to a receiving device based on the CIF associated with the respective image tile.

  • Patent number: 12224843
    Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for selecting a receiving beam based on hybrid channel based beamforming and codebook based beamforming. A user equipment (UE) can determine, based on a first measurement related to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and predetermined threshold values, whether the UE is in a low SNR state. If the UE is in a low SRN state, the UE can derive an estimated channel covariance matrix RCH for channels at a set of antenna elements of the UE based on channel based bearmforming (CHBF). Afterwards, a set of test bears {0, . . . Ntest?1} is selected based on the channel covariance matrix RCH, and a set of codebook measurement beams is further selected based on the set of test beams. A receiving beam is selected based on a set of measurements performed on the set of codebook measurement beams at the measurement opportunity for codebook based beamforming (CBBF).
