  • Patent number: 10986342
    Abstract: Provided is a 360-degree image encoding apparatus and method, and a recording medium for performing the same function. The 360-degree image encoding apparatus divides an input image to be encoded into a plurality of regions in a vertical direction and encodes the divided regions while changing resolutions thereof so that all regions have the same resolution to maintain pixel continuity among the regions when a predictive image is generated and the regions have resolutions changed according to the degree of distortion of the regions when a residue image is encoded.

  • Patent number: 6901254
    Abstract: A method of selecting a base transceiver system (or sector) in an area where signals from various base transceiver systems (or sectors) are superimposed. In order to be suitable for a system that aims at the packet transmission such as the high data rate (HDR) communication system, the load information of the base transceiver system (or sector) is transmitted to the mobile station. The mobile station selects the optimum base transceiver system (or sector) according to the load information, and requests the down-link data transmission to the base transceiver system at the desired data transmission rate.
