20080294446Layer based scalable multimedia datastream compression - Source signals, such as audio and/or video data, are encoded into multiple, consecutive frequency bands. These bands are referred to as coding layers. Rather than performing complex bit-slice operations, a disclosed technique enables an agile and simplified response to transmission channel throughput variations. Specifically, if it becomes necessary to restrict the rate of data transmission to avoid receiver buffer underflow resulting from transmission channel degradation, layers from the transmitted signal are omitted, beginning with the highest frequency bands. Efficient and agile bit rate scalability during data streaming through wired or wireless networks and during local playback is thus enabled.11-27-2008

20090177938Cognitive and Universal Impulse Noise Protection - Impulse noise from nearby or intense electrical sources can disrupt communications over digital subscriber lines. There are many methods to deal with errors produced by impulse noise sources. Forward error correction (FEC) codes such as Reed Solomon coding along with scrambling and interleaving are used to correct small errors. However, for larger errors, retransmission is favored. Retransmission can be applied at the Discrete Multi-tone symbol level thus eliminating the need to insert sequence identification into data transmission units, furthermore retransmission can also be employed to exploit the error correcting capabilities of the FEC codes. Finally, an impulse noise protection system can exploit impulse noise statistics to configure the redundancy in the FEC codes and to enable the use of blanking. Exemplary embodiments of systems described can cooperatively use impulse noise statistics to utilize retransmission, FEC and blanking to mitigate the effects of impulse noise.07-09-2009
