20100260253 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IN TOMLINSON HARASHIMA PRECODING (THP) MODE WITH A ZERO EDGE FILTER - The invention relates to a method and apparatus of an improved Tomlinson Harashima Precoding (THP) communication system through special configuration of its feedback coefficients. Improvement, in terms of THP system robustness against analog-to-digital (ADC) sampling phase variation, is achieved either by deriving feedback coefficients of the Decision Feedback Equalizer at worst ADC sampling phase or by inserting a Zero Edge Filter (ZEF) at the receiver. The ZEF modifies the communication system such that the feedback filter coefficients derived in the Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) mode and later used in the THP mode is capable to compensate the zero at Nyquist Frequency due to a non-optimum sampling phase of the ADC. The THP communication system, modified and improved with the insertion of ZEF, is operable to switch from an adaptive Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) mode to a THP mode having an adaptive Linear Equalizer (LE) at the receiver. The modified THP communication system offers better performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of the receiver than traditional THP based communication systems when ADC sampling phase changes. | 2010-10-14 |
20100260254 | MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION PATHS FOR HIERARCHICAL LAYERS - A method for hierarchical communication of a set of source data includes: receiving source data representing content to be communicated to a data terminal; pre-coding at least some of the source data using pre-coding schemes to generate sets of representation data; associating the sets of representation data with coding and modulation schemes; generating transmissions by applying the coding and modulation schemes to the sets of representation data; transmitting a first transmission to the data terminal on a first communication link; and transmitting a second transmission to the data terminal on a second communication link, wherein the second communication link differs from the first communication link. | 2010-10-14 |
20100260255 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLUSTERED FALLBACK FOR FRAME RATE UP-CONVERSION (FRUC) FOR DIGITAL TELEVISIONS - A video decoder may be operable to divide a video frame into clusters during frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) process. The video decoder may be operable to determine an error associated with the displayed frame difference (DFD) for each of the clusters and switch between frame interpolation and frame repetition based on the error. A DFD histogram may be computed for each cluster and a condition for clustered fallback based on one or more of the DFD histograms may be determined. The clustered fallback may be entered if the condition for clustered fallback is met. The clustered fallback may be entered locally for one or more of the clusters of the video frame. The clustered fallback may be entered in such a way that if the number of consecutive video frames which meet the condition for clustered fallback is greater than a particular threshold value. | 2010-10-14 |
20100260256 | MOVING IMAGE COMPRESSION-CODING DEVICE, METHOD OF COMPRESSION-CODING MOVING IMAGE, AND H.264 MOVING IMAGE COMPRESSION-CODING DEVICE - A moving image compression-coding device has a pixel determination module configured to determine whether a color of each pixel in a macro block having a plurality of pixels in an input image is a predetermined color, a pixel counter configured to count a number of the pixels having the predetermined color in the macro block, a macro block determination module configured to determine whether a color of the macro block is considered to be the predetermined color according to the count result, and a compression-coded data generator configured to compression-code the input image with a compression ratio depending on the determination result. | 2010-10-14 |
20100260257 | SMALL DETAIL RESERVATION IN CONTENT-ADAPTIVE QUANTIZATION - Video processing systems and methods for preservation of small details in video undergoing quantization is discussed. Small details are preserved by identifying an area of interest within a video frame, determining whether small details are present within the selected portion of the video frame, and further determining whether those small details may be lost during quantization. In the event that small details are present in the selected portion of the video frame and may be lost during quantization, a color-shifting operation may be performed on one or more color components of the selected portion of the video frame, such as luminance, prior to quantization to preserve the small detail. During the color-shifting operation, the values of at least one color component of pixels representing the video frame are shifted such that the pixels extend between at least two quantization levels when quantized. In this manner, small detail is preserved, while also allowing for a reduction in the total bits of information contained in the video frame. | 2010-10-14 |
