Abstract: Error correction coding for streaming communication is provided. A streaming problem is modeled as a non-multicast network problem with a nested receiver structure. Each packet in the streaming problem corresponds to a link, and each deadline in the streaming problem corresponds to a receiver in the non-multicast network problem.

A capacity region defines a set of information rate vectors that can be communicated to the receivers successfully. A rate vector is successfully communicated if it complies with various inequalities.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, devices and computer program products enhance uplink inter-cell interference cancellation with HARQ retransmissions. The decoding of a data packet depends on whether the interfering packet was decoded. Since the interfering packet is itself transmitted using a HARQ process, the transmission by the victim UT can be accomplished to take this situation into account. The latency of the victim UT can be varied based on the need for energy efficient transmission. In accordance with one specific aspect, if the receiver can decode multiple packets simultaneously, high data rates can be achieved using packet pipelining.

Abstract: A method and controller for sending data frames over a lossy bidirectional link between integrated circuit chips is disclosed. Upon transmission, frames are stored in a buffer. The detection of errors is indicated and triggers retransmission of the erroneously received frame, but acknowledgement of correctly received frames is not indicated.

After said period of time, the sent frame is discarded from the buffer.
