Abstract: A first user equipment of a wireless communication system is provided. After a second user equipment of the wireless communication system has transmitted a first signal, being a reference or control or data signal, to the first user equipment via a sidelink between the second and first user equipment, the first user equipment is configured to receive said reference or control or data signal as a second signal from the second user equipment via the sidelink. The first user equipment is configured to determine positioning information depending on difference information, such that the difference information has information on difference(s) between the first signal, transmitted by the second user equipment, and the second signal, received by the first user equipment.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a transceiver of a 4th or 5th generation mobile communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to operate in a sidelink mode, wherein the transceiver is configured, in the sidelink mode, to transmit or receive signals using radio resources in an unlicensed band, wherein the unlicensed band is one out of the following unlicensed bands: the 2.4 GHz band, the 5 GHz band with the exception of the intelligent transport system, ITS, band, the 6 GHz band, the 60 GHz band, the 57 GHz to 71 GHz band, unlicensed bands in FR2 range.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for streaming content and in particular, live content. The method includes the steps of: receiving a content stream; periodically encoding the received stream into a sequence of content files to thereby create a plurality of sequential content files; assigning a sequence identifier to each content file; storing the files on a host; delivering a data file to a media player responsive to a request for live content, said data file including information enabling the media player to sequentially and individually request each content file from the host and play the requested content file; and delivering requested content files responsive to each request.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for transferring content to a device, the method including the steps of: receiving a request for content from the device; delivering a uniquely identifiable, ephemeral player to the device; and transferring content to the device, for presentation on the device by the player. The invention has particular application to digital rights management in respect of the distribution of audiovisual content such as film and television programs, advertisements and live event broadcasts over communication networks such as the Internet.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of data processing, for processing a stream of data comprising video data, the video data comprised in a sequence of frames. Typically, the data also comprises audio data, and optionally further multimedia data such as data relating to interactive functionality. The invention provides a method and system for playing a multimedia digital data stream comprising video data to be decoded and displayed to a user in a sequence of frames, including the steps of: receiving and decoding the video data; monitoring a decoding parameter; applying a post-processing algorithm to decoded video frames; aid displaying the resulting frames on a display device; wherein the post-processing algorithm applied is continuously adapted in accordance with said decoding parameter.
