Abstract: Techniques for efficiently performing full and scaled transforms on data received via full and scaled interfaces, respectively, are described and comprise (1) performing a first transform on a block of first input values to obtain a block of first output values by scaling the block to obtain scaled input values, performing a scaled one-dimensional (1D) transform on each row of the block, and performing a scaled 1D transform on each column of the block; and (2) performing a second transform on a block of second input values to obtain a block of second output values by performing a scaled 1D transform on each row of the block, performing a scaled 1D transform on each column of the block, and scaling the block.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that can facilitate multimedia telephony. In one example, a method for communication of multimedia data comprises determining a first level of throughput associated with multimedia data communication from a first access terminal to a network, determining a second level of throughput associated with multimedia data communication from the network to a second access terminal based on feedback from the second access terminal to the first access terminal via the network, determining a budget associated with communication of a video unit of the multimedia data, and coding the video unit of the multimedia data based on the budget and the first and second levels of throughput.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method, time-varying signals are processed and encoded via a frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP) scheme to arrive at an all-pole model. Residual signals resulted from the scheme are estimated and transformed into a time domain signal. Through the process of heterodyning, the time domain signal is frequency shifted toward the baseband level as a downshifted carrier signal. Quantized values of the all-pole model and the frequency transform of the downshifted carrier signal are packetized as encoded signals suitable for transmission or storage. To reconstruct the time-varying signals, the encoded signals are decoded. The decoding process is basically the reverse of the encoding process.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for providing distributed source coding techniques that improve data coding performance, such as video data coding, when channel errors or losses occur. Errors in the reconstruction of the data is eliminated or reduced by sending extra information. Correlation between a predicted sequence and an original sequence can be used to design codebooks and find the cosets required to represent the original image. This information may be sent over another channel, or a secondary channel.
