The present invention relates to transmission and reception of digital broadcast in a digital broadcast network supporting a configuration of multiple physical layer pipes (PLPs). In particular, signalling parameters relating to a complete PLP are transmitted within layer 1 signalling related to the PLP. The baseband frames mapped on the pipe are configured according to this layer 1 signalling in the same way at the transmitter as they are demapped on the receiver side. The baseband frames are transmitted and received without including these parameters, in particular, at least one of parameters indicating (i) an input stream format, (ii) a single or a multiple input stream, (iii) constant or adaptive coding and modulation, (iv) presence of input stream synchronization, (v) presence of null packet deletion, or (vi) input stream identifier.

A process is described to build physical layer frames with a modcode adapted to the signal quality of a destination terminal. Data packets assigned to the same modcode may be sent in the same frame, although packets associated with higher modcodes may be used to complete a frame before switching to the applicable higher modcode for construction of subsequent frames. After an interval, the order of progression is restarted with an out of order packet above a threshold age. Flow control filtering mechanisms and a variable reliability margin may be used to adapt dynamically to the current data traffic conditions.

The present invention provides a unique feedback system in a wireless communication system wherein the transmission channel is always overloaded with data, which is configured and modulated at a select order of modulation. Based on the channel conditions, only a portion of the data can be successfully received. As such, the receiver will attempt to receive the data using demodulation techniques corresponding to the different levels of modulation used to encode the data transmitted. The receiver will determine the data that is recovered, or the highest order of modulation at which the data is recovered, and provide feedback to the transmitter. The transmitter will then retransmit the data that was not properly received. By overloading the channel at all times, the maximum amount of data capable of being transmitted over the channel is optimized without requiring or heavily relying on the receiver feeding back channel condition information to the transmitter.

Code compression techniques and decompression architectures for embedded systems are disclosed, providing good compression ratio while improving decompression time for VLIW instructions and reducing bus power consumption. The invention includes two fixed-to-variable (F2V) length code compression schemes based on a reduced arithmetic code compression algorithm combining arithmetic coding with probability models; a static probability model using static coding and semi-adaptive coding using a Markov model. Multi-bit decompression methods for the F2V techniques are presented, together with a parallel decompression scheme that tags and divides a compressed block into smaller sub-blocks. The Markov model provides better compression ratio, but the static model has a less complicated decompression unit design. The invention also includes two variable-to-fixed (V2F) length coding algorithms, one based on Tunstall coding and another on arithmetic coding. The V2F algorithms are also combined with a static model and a Markov model.

When transmitting data from a transmission unit to a reception unit over a channel in a wireless communication system, it has been observed that there are inherent losses in throughput, especially for a channel experiencing high channel quality variations over its frequency range. To improve the throughput over such a channel, it is proposed to: estimate the quality of each subchannel of a channel, classify the subchannels into a number of quality groups based on the estimated quality, and select a code rate per quality group. This selected code rate per quality group is then used when a data word to be transmitted is coded. Simulations have shown that by grouping the subchannels into a limited number of groups, for example one to four groups depending on the channel quality variation, a high throughput could be achieved with a minimum of signaling cost in the form of extra overhead.

A method and apparatus for adaptive inter prediction mode coding are disclosed. In the current HEVC, a fixed set of variable length codes is used for the underlying video data, which may not optimally match the statistics of underlying video data. Consequently, the compression efficiency associated with the fixed set of variable length codes will be compromised. Accordingly, an adaptive coding scheme for inter prediction modes is disclosed. The variable length codes used for each inter prediction mode in each coding unit depth is adaptively determined by its respective statistics. The statistics can be measured as the frequency of occurrence of each mode. In one embodiment according to the present invention, counters are used to collect the statistics. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the statistics of inter prediction modes are collected from the previous slice and the set of variable length codes is determined for the subsequent slice (immediately following the previous slice) accordingly. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the statistics of inter prediction modes are updated for each coding unit and the variable length code for each mode is adjusted according to the statistics change during the coding process. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the variable length code for each mode is reset in the beginning of each slice. The reset code word table is either a predefined code word table for whole sequence or a code word table determined by the previous slice.

In a communication where a retransmission is attained based on a Hybrid-ARQ (Automatic repeat ReQuest) system, retransmission having no gain is reduced, and improvement of the transmission efficiency is intended. A mode determining unit 111 of a base station carries out calculation to obtain a received signal quality difference information indicative of a difference between a received signal quality at the current stage and that of a past stage at a terminal, and supplies to a control unit 112. The control unit 112 controls a power setting unit 113 based on the received signal quality difference information supplied from the mode determining unit 111, and thus a transmission power of a signal transmitted from an adaptive coding and modulation unit 13 can be controlled. The present invention can be applied to a base station of a portable telephone communication network, for example.

A video quality adaptive coding artifact reduction system has a video quality analyzer, an artifact reducer, and a filter strength controller. The video quality analyzer employs input video quality analysis to control artifact reduction.

For low quality input video, the filter strength controller increases the artifact reduction filter strength to more efficiently reduce the artifact. For high quality input video, the filter strength controller decreases the artifact reduction filter strength to avoid blurring image detail.

A selection unit selects ‘0’ for the first through the (N−1)th frames, and selects a predicted image for the subsequent frames. Thus, an intra-frame coding process is performed on the first through the (N−1)th frames, and an adaptive coding process is performed on the subsequent frames. An information amount reduction unit reduces the amount of information about data in the first through the (N−1)th frames. An information amount adjustment unit stepwise increases the amount of information reduced by the information amount reduction unit.

A method and system of lossless adaptive Golomb / Rice (G / R) encoding of integer data using a novel backward-adaptive technique having novel adaptation rules. The adaptive G / R encoder and decoder (codec) and method uses adaptation rules that adjust the G / R parameter after each codeword is generated.
