Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé utilisés dans une station (STA) d'un réseau sans fil. Le procédé consiste à recevoir des données d'au moins une station à distance, et à déterminer une mesure de la qualité du signal, par exemple une mesure de l'EVM à partir d'échantillons des données reçues de la ou des stations à distance. Si la ou les stations à distance sont des points d'accès, la station sélectionne un point d'accès d'association en fonction de critères comprenant la mesure de l'EVM à partir de la station à distance. Si les données reçues comprennent un message de gestion de demande, la station répond au message de gestion de demande par un message de gestion de réponse comprenant une mesure de l'EVM des données reçues correspondant au message de gestion de demande. La station à distance recevant le message de gestion de réponse reçoit ainsi une indication de la qualité de la liaison entre la station et la station à distance sans que la station à distance de réception soit nécessairement en mesure de déterminer l'EVM.

Filed: 2005-01-10
Granted: 2013-03-26
Abstract: [0052] A method and apparatus for processing a bitstream in a digital video transcoder is described. In one example, an adjustment factor is determined (408) that relates a number of bits representing a selected frame defined by the bitstream to a target number of bits for the selected frame. An average spatial activity value among sets of video data is associated (410) with the selected frame. A spatial activity value for a selected set of the sets of video data is determined (414). A normalized spatial activity value for the selected set of frequency video data is then computed (416) in response to the average spatial activity value, the spatial activity value, and a function of the adjustment factor. Target bit reduction for each of the sets of video data may be computed using a function of the normalized spatial activity value and the adjustment factor.

Abstract: A method of encoding an input speech signal using a multi-rate encoder having a plurality of encoding rates is disclosed. A high-pass filter and then a perceptual weighting filter are applied to such signal to generate a first target signal. An adaptive codebook vector is identified from an adaptive codebook using the first target signal by filtering the vector to generate a filtered adaptive codebook vector. An adaptive codebook gain for the adaptive codebook vector is calculated and an error signal minimized. The adaptive codebook gain is adaptively reduced based on one encoding rate from the plurality of encoding rates to generate a reduced adaptive codebook gain. A second target signal based at least on the first target signal and the reduced adaptive codebook gain is generated. The input speech signal is converted into an encoded speech based on the second target signal.

Abstract: A radio network resource controller directs a first network node associated with a first cell region, or a wireless terminal in communication through the first cell region, to measure and report radio resource-related data selected from the group consisting of: resource activity per channel; the number of transmitted power samples that exceed a threshold over a measurement period; and, channel quality samples that exceed a quality threshold. The controller then receives at least one measurement report of the radio resource-related data and, as a function of the radio resource-related data in the first cell region, dynamically reallocates the distribution of resources, such as radio-frequency channels associated with uplink and downlink communications, between the first cell region and at least a second cell region. The invention has a particular advantage in time division duplex (TDD) mode of operation where efficient and dynamic interference mitigation is needed to combat the inherent mobile-to-mobile and base station-to-base station interference.
