Abstract: A system and method for allocating one or more Physical downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) resource and correspondingly allocating one or more Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource within the PUCCH. The allocation of the one or more PUCCH resource can be based on the allocation of one or more previously allocated PUCCH resources within the PUCCH that are associated with one or more other mobile devices. For example, the allocation of the current PDCCH resource and corresponding PUCCH resource can include determining the interference between the current PUCCH resource and the one or more other PUCCH resources having been previously allocated. Based on the interference, a corresponding PDCCH resource can be re-allocated so as to re-allocate the current PUCCH resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for staged connectivity and sleep mode are provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure optimize power consumption for a user across user devices by creating an ad hoc co-located network of user devices and establishing a device in the co-located network to act as a master (hub) device. In an embodiment, the system includes multiple user wireless devices and a network controller. The network controller identifies a set of proximate wireless devices and the power capability for each wireless device in the set. The network controller then selects a wireless device in the set to act as the hub (master) wireless device based on factors such as the power capabilities of each wireless device. The network controller then instructs the other wireless devices in the set to power down and instructs the appropriate network providers to handover communications to the hub (master) device.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices systems for wireless communication of video information. According to some embodiments, an energy level of one or a group of transmit video block(s) to be transmitted as part of a wireless transmission frame may be adjusted so at to maintain a substantially constant transmission power (e.g. within a range of transmission power levels).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, circuit and system for communicating data. A data value to be transmitted from a data source transmitter or transceiver to a downstream receiver or transceiver may be Shannon mapped, by functionally associated processing/mapping logic, to a point on a shape within a higher dimensional plane. Different portions of the shape, for example branches of a spiral, may be designated by a portion or branch number. Coordinates of the Shannon mapping, or another descriptors, of the Shannon mapped point may be transmitted using analog transmission methods. A set of data values may be Shannon mapped and transmitted to a downstream receiver/transceiver in series. For each set of mapped and transmitted data values, processing logic may calculate a branch ambiguity resolution factor. The branch ambiguity resolution factor for each set of values may be transmitted to the downstream receiver/transceiver before, after or with the data values.

Abstract: A method, circuit and system for transmission, receiving and processing of video data between a video source transceiver and a video sink transceiver. Video data or information to be transmitted, which instructs an image processor associated with a video sink to modify a previously video frame into a current frame. A Delta Frame may include one or more Grid Based Predicted Error (“GBPE”) Values. The GBPE may be generated by source-side image processing logic using processes or techniques similar to those described in the MPEG and/or H.264 Standards, with the exception that the prediction error values may be calculated relative to a noisy predicted frame (e.g. based on an analog reception of a base frame) which has been grid quantized based on video sink transceiver SNR (e.g. substantially each pixel value in the predicted frame is rounded off up or down to a value on some grid).

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, apparatus, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving data, including video data. All or some portions of a video frame (i.e. video block) may be processed and/or converted into frequency domain coefficients (e.g. DCT, DFT, etc.). Some or all of the frequency domain coefficients may be encapsulated within a transmission frame (e.g. an OFDM based transmission frame) and may be transmitted to a functionally associated receiver over a transmission channel. Not all frequency coefficients may be encapsulated and transmitted, possibly due to bandwidth limitations on the transmission channel. Selection (i.e. allocation) of one or more frequency coefficients to be transmitted may be based on a Visual Quality Metric (VQM) of the associated video block, such that encapsulation and transmission preference/priority may be given to maximize the VQM of the video block. A higher video block VQM may result in a lower transmitted distortion.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits and systems for transmission of a video block. A video stream may be composed of sequential video frames, and each video frame may be composed of one or more video blocks including a set of pixels. Prior to transmission of the data associated with a video block, a signature of the video block may be generated, for example using a spatial to frequency transform such as a two dimensional discrete cosine transform. Signatures of corresponding video blocks across consecutive video frames may be compared in order to determine whether a given video block of a current video frame is static or dynamic relative to prior video corresponding video blocks. Transmission parameters of the given block may depend on whether the block is designated as static or dynamic.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for multitone modulation to transmit at least two packets of data, each comprising a plurality of symbols, to provide inter-packet interleaving. The method utilizes a plurality of tones of different frequencies to transmit the data symbols of the two packets. Transmission of successive data symbols of a first data packet and of a second data packet are delayed over time, such that during at least one symbol period the tones are transmitting at least one first packet data symbol and at least one second packet data symbol. A further embodiment comprises a method for multitone modulation to transmit at least two packets of data which utilizes a plurality of modulation codes to transmit the data symbols of the two packets. The modulation codes comprise a set of orthogonal modulation codes, or the data can be modulated in accordance with CDMA modulation.

Abstract: An encoding/framing scheme for multitone modulation over impulsive channels which allows efficient operation in multipoint to point channels which are affected by ingress (narrowband noise) and impulsive (burst) interference. The coding is achieved using a concatenated approach, with the inner code being Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM), using, for example, convolutional coding, and the outer code being a Reed Solomon (RS) code. Two dimensional interleaving is performed, with one dimension being time, and the other dimension being frequency (tones or sub-channels). The TCM coding provided by the present invention is quite effective in dealing with impulse noise effects. The interleaving may be applied in two levels. According to one embodiment, user data is RS encoded, and a portion of the RS encoded data is interleaved and filled along columns for transmission using a multitone transmission system.
