Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource allocation method, a packet communication method, and an apparatus. The resource allocation method includes: dividing, by a controller, a cloud data center network into multiple independent logical zones; allocating a corresponding tunnel label range to each logical zone; when a virtual network request for allocating a resource to a tenant is received, searching the logical zones to obtain a logical zone that meets the virtual network request; and allocating a tunnel label to the tenant according to a tunnel label range corresponding to the logical zone that meets the virtual network request. Because each logical zone is independent, during tunnel label range allocation, a same tunnel label range can be allocated to different logical zones. In this way, a same tunnel label can be allocated to different switches in different logical zones, implementing reuse of the tunnel label.

Abstract: A method for determining a macroblock (MB) coding mode for a current MB in a dependent view. A window around a co-located MB in a base view is determined, wherein the co-located MB is a MB in the base view having a same location as the current MB in the dependent view. A coding mode complexity value (CMCV) is determined for each MB in the window, wherein the CMCV is based on a coding mode used to encode the MB. Rate distortion optimization (RDO) is performed for the current MB using a reduced number of coding modes if a total CMCV for all MBs in the window is less than a threshold, or using all supported coding modes if the total CMCV for all MBs in the window is greater than the threshold. A coding mode for the current MB is determined based on the RDO results.

Abstract: A motion estimation apparatus and method (carried out electronically) provides for encoding of multiview video, such as stereoscopic video, by providing motion estimation for pixels in a dependent eye view, using motion vector information from a colocated group of pixels in a base eye view and neighboring pixels to the colocated group of pixels in the base eye view. The method and apparatus encodes a group of pixels in a dependent eye view based on the estimated motion vector information. The method and apparatus may also include obtaining a frame of pixels that includes both base eye view pixels and dependent eye pixels so that, for example, frame compatible format packing can be employed. In one example, estimating the motion vector information for a block of pixels, for example, in a dependent eye view is based on a median value calculation of motion vectors for a block of pixels in a base eye view and motion vectors for neighboring blocks of pixels to the colocated group of pixels in the base eye view.

A down-scaled frame is received that includes a macroblock corresponding to a first subset of macroblocks of a first area in a full-scale frame. A first average motion vector is calculated for the first subset of macroblocks, and a second average motion vector is calculated for a second subset of macroblocks of a second area surrounding the first subset of macroblocks. A comparison of a threshold to a distance measure between absolute values of the first and second average motion vectors is performed. A prediction mode for the macroblock in the down-scaled frame is determined based on the comparison to generate predicted blocks.
