Abstract: In general, techniques are described for performing adaptive overlapped block motion compensation when coding video data. A video coding device configured to code video data may implement the techniques. The video coding device may comprise one or more processors configured to determine an adaptation metric from a region of support for one of a first partition and a second partition of one or more blocks of the video data separated by a partition boundary. The region of support may not be the entire one or more blocks of video data. The one or more processors may further be configured to adapt, based on the adaptation metric, application of an overlapped block motion compensation process to determine predicted pixel values near the partition boundary for a first predicted block representative of the first partition of the video block.

Abstract: A video coder can determine a first most probable intra prediction mode and a second most probable intra prediction mode for a current video block, and based on the first and second most probable intra prediction modes, determine an estimate of an actual intra prediction mode used to code the current video block. The estimate of the actual intra prediction mode can be determined by selecting one of the first most probable mode and the second most probable mode as the estimate of the actual intra prediction in response to both the first most probable mode and the second most probable mode being different angular prediction modes. The estimate of the actual intra prediction mode plus difference information can be used to identify the actual intra prediction mode used to code the current video block.

Abstract: Techniques for efficient signaling to and from a plurality of mobile stations are disclosed. In one embodiment, a subset of mobile stations may be allocated a portion of the shared resource with one or more individual access grants, another subset may be allocated a portion of the shared resource with a single common grant, and yet another subset may be allowed to use a portion of the shared resource without any grant. In another embodiment, an acknowledge and continue command is used to extend all or a subset of the previous grants without the need for additional requests and grants, and their associated overhead. In one embodiment, a traffic to pilot ratio (T/P) is used to allocate a portion of the shared resource, allowing a mobile station flexibility in selecting its transmission format based on T/P.
