The method includes encoding first audio data of a first audio stream section included in an audio stream, encoding second audio data of a second audio stream section included in the audio stream, transmitting the encoded first audio data to a first auxiliary device, and transmitting the encoded second audio data to a second auxiliary device after a time corresponding to a predetermined interval.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for reducing power consumption by early decoding. It is determined whether a predetermined decoding condition is satisfied upon expiration of a time unit in a transmission time interval. Decoding is performed on a signal that has been received through the time unit in the transmission time interval, when the predetermined decoding condition is satisfied. A controller outputs an instruction signal to a RF processor to set to a low-power mode during a remaining time period of the transmission time interval after the time unit in the transmission time interval, when the decoding is successful. Decoding is performed on the signal that has been received through the RF processor upon expiration of a last time unit of the transmission time interval regardless of the predetermined decoding condition, when the time unit is the last time unit in the transmission time interval.

Abstract: Methods for effectively transmitting data in dual diversity systems by utilizing Reed-Solomon coding is provided. Two Reed-Solomon (RS) coding schemes are considered for dual diversity systems: RS(n,k) codes with symbol diversity order of 2 and RS (n,k/2) codes with symbol diversity order of 1. We show that the second scheme utilizes the inherent error detecting capability of low rate RS codes. The RS (n, k/2) codes with symbol diversity order 1 significantly reduce the probability of undetected word error among accepted codeword and give comparable throughput to that of RS (n,k) codes with symbol diversity order 2.
