  • Error avoidance in data transmission using dynamic modification of analog sampling rates
    Patent number: 7843371
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for error avoidance in data transmission using dynamic modification of sampling rates. An embodiment of a method for transmission of data includes determining the transmission capacity for a transmission channel or channels. A sampling rate is selected based at least in part on the determined transmission capacity for the one or more transmission channels. An instruction, command, or information regarding the sampling rate is inserted in a data packet, and the data packet is transmitted.

  • Error masking for data transmission using received data
    Patent number: 7710973
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for error masking for data transmission using received data. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a first data packet, where the first data packet contains multiple data elements, the first data packet being a data packet in a data stream. The method further includes determining that one or more data packets are missing from the data stream, and generating one or more data packets to replace the one or more missing data packets based at least in part on the one or more data elements of the first data packet.
