Abstract: A broadcast/broadband convergence system that delivers content from content sources to user equipment devices. The system provides: significantly enhanced mobile capability to the broadcast industry; an additional revenue source for the broadcast industry by dynamically selling available spectral resources for use by wireless broadband networks and/or broadcast content off-loaded from wireless broadband networks; additional spectrum for the broadband industry through the dynamic purchase of available spectrum; and an enriched user experience. A spectrum server may facilitate the dynamic allocation of radio spectrum made available by the broadcast networks. The broadcast networks may broadcast with enhanced waveform parameters to support mobile devices as well as fixed devices.

Abstract: Techniques for operating a wireless network in a plurality of radio operating environments are disclosed. In some embodiments, an apparatus receives a first parameter value set that is selected from a group of multiple parameter value sets, wherein the first parameter value set is appropriate for a first target radio operating environment that corresponds to one or more of: a first level of mobility of user devices or a first range of wireless transmission. In some embodiments, the apparatus is reconfigured to receive wireless broadcast transmissions from a second broadcast transmitter using a second parameter value set that is appropriate for a second target radio operating environment. The first and second broadcast transmitters may be the same or different. The parameter value sets may include a first parameter based upon which the apparatus is configured to determine subcarrier spacing and a second parameter that indicates a cyclic prefix size.

Abstract: A split architecture for encoding a video stream. A source encoder may encode a video content stream to obtain an encoded bitstream and a side information stream. The side information stream includes information characterizing rate and/or distortion estimation functions per block of the video content stream. Also, a different set of estimation functions may be included per coding mode. The encoded bitstream and side information stream may be received by a video transcoder, which transcodes the encoded bitstream to a client-requested picture resolution, according to a client-requested video format and bit rate. The side information stream allows the transcoder to efficiently and compactly perform rate control for its output bitstream, which is transmitted to the client device. This split architecture may be especially useful to operators of content delivery networks.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for creating a program for a multi-processor system comprising a plurality of interspersed processors and memories. A user may specify or create source code using a programming language. The source code specifies a plurality of tasks and communication of data among the plurality of tasks. However, the source code may not (and preferably is not required to) 1) explicitly specify which physical processor will execute each task and 2) explicitly specify which communication mechanism to use among the plurality of tasks. The method then creates machine language instructions based on the source code, wherein the machine language instructions are designed to execute on the plurality of processors. Creation of the machine language instructions comprises assigning tasks for execution on respective processors and selecting communication mechanisms between the processors based on location of the respective processors and required data communication to satisfy system requirements.
