A system and method for real time transmission of variable bit rate MPEG video traffic with consistent quality, wherein each frame is encoded with quantization parameter generated from an encoder rate controller, and encoded data is transmitted to an encoder buffer. Transmission rate about each frame interval is determined by a channel rate controller at the beginning of the frame interval. Data transmission buffered at the encoder buffer is first regulated by Leaky Bucket counter, and the regulated data is transferred to a decoder buffer in a video receiving system through network. The encoder rate controller and channel rate controller included in the VBR video transmission system control the transmission rate generated from the video encoder and that from the network with satisfying imposed constrained conditions, respectively.

An Ethernet architecture is provided for connecting a computer system or other network entity to a dedicated Ethernet network medium. The network interface enables the transmission and receipt of data by striping individual Ethernet frames across a plurality of logical channels and may thus operate at substantially the sum of the individual channel rates. Each channel may be conveyed by a separate conductor (e.g., in a bundle) or the channels may be carried simultaneously on a shared medium (e.g., an electrical or optical conductor that employs a form of multiplexing). On a sending station, a distributor within the sender's network interface receives Ethernet frames (e.g., from a MAC) and distributes frame bytes in a round-robin fashion on the plurality of channels. Each “mini-frame” is separately framed and encoded for transmission across its channel. On a receiving station, the receiver's network interface includes a collector for collecting the multiple mini-frames (e.g., after decoding) and reconstructing the frame's byte stream (e.g., for transfer to the receiver's MAC). The first and last bytes of each frame and mini-frame are marked for ease of recognition. Multiple unique idle symbols may be employed for transmission during inter-packet gaps to facilitate the collector's synchronization of the multiple channels and/or enhance error detection. A maximum channel skew is specified, and each received channel may be buffered with an elasticity that is proportional to the maximum skew so that significant propagation delay may be encountered between channels without disrupting communications.

A coding system and method for a terminal including a multi-rate codec is disclosed. The terminal includes a multi-rate adaptive coder that is capable of transmitting a continuous voice stream transmission at a source code bit rate and a channel code bit rate. A quality of service probing module probes an end-to-end network path of the continuous voice stream transmission to obtain at least one quality of service parameter. A quality of service management module determines at least one constraint associated with the continuous voice stream transmission. An adaptive bit rate algorithm module dynamically adjusts the source code bit rate and the channel code bit rate as a function of the quality of service parameter and the constraint to obtain a maximum value of perceived user performance during the continuous voice stream transmission.

The invention discloses a multichannel cooperative data transmission method and system. The method of the invention comprises the following steps: a sender sends a cooperative request-to-send (CRTS) packet carrying a data channel number to a receiver through a first control channel; after the receiver receives the CRTS packet, if the acquired data channel is judged to be usable, the receiver returns a conditional clear-to-send (CCTS) packet carrying the highest channel rate between the receiver and the sender to the sender; a candidate cooperative node intercepts the CRTS packet and the CCTS packet, and if the acquired data channel is judged to be usable and the cooperation condition is met, the candidate cooperative node sends a high (HI) packet according to access time delay; if the receiver only receives the HI packet, the receiver sends a relay acknowledgement (RACK) packet on the first control channel to disclose the cooperative node; if the sender receives the RACK packet, the sender sends a data packet to the receiver through the cooperative node; and after the receiver successfully receives the data packet, the receiver returns an acknowledgement packet through a second control channel. The invention can be used to realize efficient and reliable data transmission.

A terminal receiving the formed beam receives the IAB, and controls reverse transmission power according to the received IAB.

Downlink traffic channel data rate options and methods of indicating to a wireless terminal a utilized downlink data rate option are described. The downlink traffic channel rate option for a segment is conveyed using an assignment signal and/or a block in the downlink traffic channel segment which is not used for user data. Downlink segment assignment signals in some implementations allocate fewer bits for rate option indication than are required to uniquely identify each option. In some implementations low rate options, e.g., using QPSK, are uniquely identified via assignment signals. Higher rate options, e.g., using QAM16 modulation, are conveyed via the distinct information block in the downlink traffic segment using a first coding/modulation method. Still higher rate options, e.g., using QAM16, QAM64, or QAM256, are conveyed via the information block in the segment using a second coding/modulation method which is applied to the rate option information.

Selective intra and/or inter-prediction video encoding. Based upon anticipation of a future communication channel rate (e.g., actual physical layer channel rate) or video data rate of a communication channel, a given prediction mode for video encoding may be adaptively selected. Prediction of a future or expected value corresponding to at least one parameter associated with the communication channel (e.g., channel rate, video data rate, etc.) can drive operational mode selection/adaptation in accordance with video coding. Alternatively, one or more actual measured values corresponding to at least one parameter can drive operational mode selection/adaptation in accordance with video coding. In some instances, neither intra-prediction nor inter-prediction is performed in accordance with a non-feedback operational mode, and an input video signal undergoes compression (e.g., without intra-prediction and/or inter-prediction). Transitioning between various video coding operational modes may be made in different manners and based on different criteria as desired in various given applications.

A data demodulation process rate is varied according to a reproduction state, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining a reading performance in a favorable state. A channel rate process data demodulation device performs a data demodulation process by employing channel bit frequency. Further, a half rate process data demodulation device performs a data demodulation process by employing frequency half as high as the channel bit frequency. These devices demodulate digital data from an optical recording medium. A process rate switching device switches a process rate at data demodulation, whereby demodulation is performed by switching between the data demodulation devices according to a quality of a reproduction signal, so as to reproduce the digital data recorded on the optical recording medium.
