Title: Data compressing using a wavelet compression scheme
Inventor: SMITH PETER LIONEL
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2005-08-26
Abstract: Methods of data encoding using trees formed with logic gates are described which lead to spatial compression of image data. Data encoding is achieved using a five-level wavelet transform, such as the Haar or the 2/10 transform. A dual transform engine is used, the first and engine being used for the first part of the first-level transform, the second part of the first-level transform and the subsequent-level transforms being performed by the second transform engine within a time interval which is less than or equal to the time taken by the first transform engine to effect the pad-transform. Each bit plane of the resulting coefficients is then encoded by forming a tree structure from the bits and OR logical combinations thereof. Redundant data are removed from the resulting tree structure, and further data can be removed by using a predetermined compression profile. The resulting blocks of compressed data are of variable length and are packaged with sync words and index words for transmission so that the location and identity of the transformed data blocks can be determined from the received signal.

Title: MIMO detector with lattice reduction means which may be switched out to leave only QR decomposition to aid decoding
Inventor: LILLIE ANDREW GEORGE
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: A MIMO detector is disclosed, for detecting information on a packet based signal comprising a header and one or more data symbols. The detector comprises header processing means 12 to determine channel decoding information <B>QH</B>, <B>R</B>, <B>T</B> and data processing means 14 operable, on the basis of the channel decoding information, to detect data in said one or more data symbols <B>y</B>. The <B>R</B> component (and optionally a <B>QH</B> component) output by QR decomposition means of the header processing means is used by the data processing means as channel decoding information. The header processing means also includes lattice reduction means for deriving reduced lattice channel state information <B>T</B> on the basis of said <B>R</B> component, and control means operable to determine if said lattice reduction means is to be employed. The control means are shown in Fig. 12. The control means may take into account factors such as latency (e.g. based on the number of data symbols received with a header) and the relative packet error rates (PER) associated with lattice-reduction aided detection in contrast to non-lattice-reduction aided detection.
