  • Method for Handover Between Access Points, and Terminal Equipment
    Publication number: 20200154322
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for handover between access points, and terminal equipment. The method includes: when performing information transmission with a first access point AP on a first frequency band, determining whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with a second AP which is a second frequency band; determining, by the terminal equipment, whether the first AP and the second AP are corresponding to a same dual-band radio access device; sending, by the terminal equipment, a connection request to the second AP when maintaining a protocol layer connection with the first AP; and establishing, by the terminal equipment, the connection with the second AP when the second AP send feedback. In the method, duration required by a process of handover between access points can be reduced, and a user is made not perceive the handover process, thereby improving user experience.

  • GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK BASED INTRA PREDICTION FOR VIDEO CODING
    Publication number: 20200137384
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based intra prediction for video coding are described. GAN based intra prediction as implemented according to embodiments may be modeled as an inpainting task. For example, intra prediction may be formulated as a learning based inpainting task, wherein a latent variable is designed to control different generation modes. GAN based intra prediction provided according to embodiments of the invention may be implemented alone or in combination with one or more other video compression technique, such as a direction intra prediction technique. The intra prediction module of such a HEVC encoder/decoder may be redesigned to also apply GAN based inpainting in intra prediction, wherein Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO) may be performed to select the best intra prediction mode between the intra prediction approaches.

  • MITIGATION OF PERIODIC NOISE IN COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20200127740
    Abstract: A communication receiver receives a signal sample stream of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, splits the signal sample stream into blocks, where each block corresponds to a symbol or a gap of the OFDM signal, determines an estimate of a periodic noise in the OFDM signal by averaging signal samples over a number of blocks, generates a noise-suppressed signal by subtracting the estimate of the periodic noise from the signal sample stream, and performs further receiver-side processing on the noise-suppressed signal.
