  • Patent number: 10630998
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for video compression and decompression. In one embodiment, a video compression system includes a decimation filter operable to receive a video datastream, and to filter the video datastream to remove spatial data components and temporal data components of the video datastream. The system also includes a video codec operable to compress the filtered video datastream and a comparator operable to compare the video datastream to the filtered-compressed video datastream, and to determine a difference video datastream based on the comparison. The system also includes a generator operable to generate a tool for decompressing the filtered-compressed video datastream based on the difference video datastream.

  • Publication number: 20200015092
    Abstract: A method for managing shared wireless communications in a wireless communication network is provided. The wireless communications network includes at least one cooperative device and at least one non-cooperative device. The method includes the steps of monitoring, by the at least one cooperative device, a selected channel of a shared spectrum of the wireless communication network, detecting, by the at least one cooperative device, a presence of a transmission from the non-cooperative device within a measurable vicinity of the cooperative device, and responding, by the at least one cooperative device, to the detected presence of the transmission from the non-cooperative device.

  • Patent number: 9338464
    Abstract: Adaptively indicating field and frame encoding of coded pictures, such as but not necessarily limited to those transmitted in accordance with High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) (ISO/IEC 23008-2)/ITU-T Recommendation H.265, is contemplated. The field and frame encoding indications may be provided at various levels of granularity, such as on a per picture basis, a per slice basis and/or a per slice segment basis.
