Patent number: 9066220Abstract: Methods and systems for distributed infrastructure for streaming data via multiple access points. Aspects of one method may include apportioning multimedia information among a plurality of transmitting devices based on feedback channel information received from a destination receiving device by, for example, a transmission controller device. The transmitting devices may transmit the multimedia information to the destination receiving device. A transmitting device that may not be apportioned multimedia information may transmit a probing signal. The destination receiving device may generate feedback channel information for a transmitting device, for example, based on the multimedia information or the probing signal received from the respective transmitting device. The apportioning of the multimedia information may be dynamically adjusted based on updated feedback channel information received from the destination receiving device.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Jeyhan Karaoguz, Hooman Honary, Nambirajan Seshadri, Jason A.

Patent number: 8948309Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for redundancy-based decoding of video content in a wireless system are provided. A wireless receiver may determine whether a received multimedia data stream comprises video content and may select a redundancy-based decoder when video content is detected. The wireless receiver may be a wireless local area network (WLAN) receiver or a cellular receiver. Video content may be indicated by at least one flag in a preamble or a reserved field of the received multimedia data. The redundancy-based decoder may be a Viterbi decoder. The wireless receiver may enable a standard Viterbi decoder to decode portions of the multimedia data that do not comprise video content. The wireless receiver may generate at least one signal to select the redundancy-based decoder or the standard Viterbi decoder.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Jeyhan Karaoguz, Hooman Honary, Nambirajan Seshadri, Jason A.

Patent number: 8917674Abstract: Methods and systems for content-aware mapping/error protection are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include controlling a MAC layer and/or a PHY layer (PHY/MAC layer), in a wireless communication device to wirelessly communicate multimedia information based on content of the multimedia information, which may comprise video information, audio information, and/or data. The controlling of the PHY/MAC layer may comprise selecting a forward error correction code and modulation to be applied to portions of the multimedia information, and selecting one or more antenna to transmit the portions of the multimedia information. The selection criteria may be based on priority assigned to the portions of the multimedia information, and on feedback information from the receiving device and/or a receiver co-located with the device transmitting the multimedia information.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2006Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Jeyhan Karaoguz, Hooman Honary, Nambirajan Seshadri, Jason Trachewsky
