  • Publication number: 20190081998
    Abstract: Quality-based optimizations of a delivery process of streaming content may be enabled. The optimization may take the form of quality-based switching. To enable quality-based switching in a streaming client, the client may have access to information about the quality of an encoded segment and/or sub-segment. Quality-related information may include any number of added quality metrics relating to an encoded segment and/or sub-segment of an encoded video stream. The addition of quality-related information may be accomplished by including the quality-related information in a manifest file, including the quality-related information in segment indices stored in a segment index file, and/or providing additional files with quality-related segment information and providing a link to the information from an MPD file. Upon receiving the quality-related information, the client may request and receive a stream that has a lower bitrate, thereby saving bandwidth while retaining quality of the streaming content.

  • Patent number: 9942918
    Abstract: HARQ parameters (e.g., maximum HARQ retransmission values) may be adapted. Cross-layer control and/or logical channel control may be used to select a maximum number of HARQ retransmissions, for example based on packet priority and/or QCI values. Respective priorities of video packets may be used to select one of a plurality of logical channels associated with a video application that may be established at a source wireless hop and/or a destination wireless hop. The logical channels have different HARQ characteristics. Different maximum HARQ retransmission values may be determined for select logical channels, for example such that packets of different priorities may be transmitted over different logical channels. One or more of the channels may be associated with one or more transmission queues that may have different priority designations. Video packets may be reordered (e.g., with respect to transmission order) within the transmission queues, for example in accordance with respective HARQ parameters.

  • Publication number: 20170374654
    Abstract: Embodiments contemplate devices and techniques for receiving unicast and multicast transmissions over a downlink (DL) shared channel in parallel, for example an LTE DL shared channel (SCH). For example, one or more hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entities may be configured to perform retransmissions of the multicast and/or unicast messages. Common and/or dedicated (e.g., separate) HARQ entities may be utilized for retransmission. The multicast downlink shared channels may be activated and/or deactivated on demand. The activation and/or deactivation may be performed using radio resource control (RRC) signaling and/or Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling. The multicast and/or unicast downlink shared channel data may include scalable video coding (SVC) data of varying priority. Embodiments also contemplate the use of simultaneous (e.g. parallel) multicast/unicast for scalable video coding transmission over WiFi/802.11 protocol signals.

  • Patent number: 9833929
    Abstract: A cutting worktable includes a worktable body have a distal side located away from a cutting tool and a proximal side located adjacent to the cutting tool. The cutting worktable further includes a support frame assembly disposed at the proximal side of the worktable body and used to lift an object to be cut so that the object to be cut is placed on a top surface of the worktable body in an inclined posture. The support frame assembly includes a support roller for contacting the object to be cut and the worktable body is provided with a limiting structure for abutting against the object to be cut and limiting its position. The object to be cut can thus be inclined via the support frame assembly and fixed by the limiting structure. The limiting structure can be in the form of a plurality of placement grooves to achieve placement of the object to be cut at different angles relative to the cutting tool and worktable.

  • Publication number: 20170257271
    Abstract: A method for creating a port group, includes generating, by a first software defined network (SDN) controller, the specified identifier according to a device identifier of a first forwarding device in a preset path, a device identifier of a last forwarding device in the preset path, and a device identifier of a specified forwarding device in the preset path; and sending, by the first SDN controller, the specified identifier to a second SDN controller, so that the second SDN controller creates, on the specified forwarding device, a specified port group corresponding to the specified identifier. Therefore, the first SDN controller needs to interact with the second SDN controller only once, to create a port group on the specified forwarding device that is directly controlled by the second SDN controller, and thus the port group creation process is simple.
