Patent number: 8831091Abstract: Adaptive wireless channel allocation in a multi-user environment based on quality of received video streams. During the transmission of encoded media streams from a wireless access device to at least first and second video devices over a wireless channel, transmission windows are allocated in shared transmission frame intervals for transmission of media packets to the first and second video devices, respectively. Relative priorities are set/adjusted for the video devices based, at least in part, on one or more of the following: channel estimation information, reception characteristics, transmission acknowledgment information, video device characteristics and/or user feedback. The relative priorities are utilized to adaptively (re)allocate at least one portion of the transmission frame intervals. In addition to channel reallocation, the prioritization of devices may be utilized to adaptively alter the encoding bit rate of one or more media streams.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Alexander G.

Patent number: 8730930Abstract: Polling using B-ACK for occasional back-channel traffic in VoWIFI applications. Within wireless communication systems having a relatively asymmetric channel (e.g., relative more downstream traffic than upstream), certain upstream communications (e.g., acknowledgments (ACKs) and/or block acknowledgments (B-ACKs)) include indication therein (e.g., piggybacked therein) that a given downstream located communication device desires/needs to make upstream communication. In some instances, specificity is also provided therein to indicate the type of information to be transmitted upstream. Such a communication protocol mitigates (or eliminates) contention between upstream and downstream traffic in an environment with significantly more downstream traffic (e.g., such as ongoing downstream traffic that may include streaming video).

Publication number: 20120307886Abstract: Adaptive video encoding based on predicted wireless channel conditions. Based on at least one of a number of transmitter side indications of the available throughput of a wireless channel for video delivery, an encoder rate adaptation mechanism generates an estimate of the supportable throughput of the wireless channel under different operating conditions. An encoding parameter, such as encoder bit rate, is subsequently altered based on the estimated throughput value. In one instance, transmitter side throughput indicia is used to generate target encoder bit rates for multiple potential PHY data rates/channel MCS selections that may be used in video delivery. In anticipation of or immediately following a transition to one such PHY data rate/MCS selection, the encoder bit rate is altered in accordance with an associated target bit rate. In another mode, average transmit queue latency information is used to further regulate the encoder bit rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Peyush Agarwal, James F.

Publication number: 20120307746Abstract: A wireless access device transmits encoded media streams to at least first and second clients over a shared wireless channel. First and second transmission windows are established in a transmission frame interval for transmission of media packets to the first and second clients, respectively. An unused portion of one of the transmission windows is identified using, for example, transmission status information (from the wireless access device) associated with the media packets. The unused portion of the transmission window is adaptively reallocated for use in transmission of media packets associated with the other transmission window. In one mode of operation, the reallocation process may trigger a reversal in the order of the first and second transmission windows in subsequent transmission frame intervals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Joachim S.

Publication number: 20120311173Abstract: Dynamic wireless channel selection and protocol control for streaming video utilizing transmission delay/packet loss information and channel utilization statistics. A transmission delay and packet loss monitor generates transmission delay information during the transmission of a video stream to remote wireless device(s) over a first wireless channel by timestamping and monitoring video packet(s) and associated transmission acknowledgement(s). The transmission delay information is compared to a predetermined threshold (e.g., a maximum tolerated delay threshold and/or total packet loss threshold) and, if the threshold is exceeded, a second wireless channel is selected for continued transmission of the video stream. In one mode, channel utilization statistics are likewise examined prior to a channel relocation event.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Peyush Agarwal, Yasantha N.

Publication number: 20120307885Abstract: Channel condition prediction employing a transmit queuing model. An average transmission queue delay monitor generates an indication of average transmit queue latency during the transmission of a video stream to a remote wireless device. The average transmit queue latency is compared to a predetermined threshold for purposes of adjusting encoding bit rate (or other encoding parameter) of the video stream. In one mode, the predetermined threshold reflects a maximum tolerable average queue depth beyond which video data is likely to be lost or unacceptably delayed under certain channel conditions. If the average transmit queue latency exceeds the predetermined threshold, the encoding bit rate (or related encoding parameter) is lowered or raised as necessary to decrease or increase the transmit queue depth to a desired level. In another mode, the transmit queuing model is used in conjunction with channel throughput estimation information to adaptively adjust one or more encoding parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Peyush Agarwal, Yasantha N.

Publication number: 20110314506Abstract: Point to multi-point wireless video delivery. Among a group of receiver wireless communication devices (RXs), one is designated (e.g., as acknowledgment (ACK) leader). Media delivery operational parameters are selected based on the designated RX or based on all or a subset of the RXs. For simultaneous media delivery to multiple RXs, characteristics associated with the designated RX [or all, or a subset or RXs] govern the manner by which communications are made. Different respective RXs may be designated to serve in this role at different times. Wireless delivery of media (e.g., video signaling, audio signaling, etc.) to a group of RXs is effectuated in accordance with modified multicast signaling with a designated leader (e.g., ACK leader). Among a group of devices, a least successful receiving device that still receives media at an acceptable level may be chosen as the designated leader (e.g., ACK leader).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2011Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Peyush Agarwal, Yasantha N.
