Title: Communication network for transferring data from external user to wireless terminals
Inventor: WEBB WILLIAM
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2012-02-22
Abstract: A communications network comprises multiple base stations, each capable of communicating wirelessly with one or more wireless terminals and a network core communicatively coupled to the base stations, the network core comprising a data cache to which base stations can write data received from wireless terminals. The data cache is accessible by users external to the network core that can write data to the data cache at times that are not scheduled by the network core and read data at scheduled times. A network controller capable of controlling the operation of the base stations is configured to schedule the propagation to the terminals of data stored in the data cache by allocating base station transmission bandwidth for the transmission of the data to one or more of the terminals. Transmission can occur in whitespace frequencies where bandwidth is variable and not guaranteed. The data cache acts as a buffer facilitating data exchange between an external user and its associated wireless terminals. The wireless terminals may be a smart meter capable of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.

Title: Mobile communications network and base station for communicating short message data packets in a context-less manner without a communications bearer
Inventor: BARRETT STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2012-05-29
Abstract: A mobile communications network communicates data packets to or from one or more mobile communications terminals. The mobile communications network comprises a radio network part including a plurality of base stations for communicating data packets to or from the mobile communications terminals via a radio access interface, and a core network part which is configured to communicate the data packets to destination addresses from the radio network part or to communicate the data packets to the radio network part from source addresses. The mobile communications network is configured to establish communications bearers for communicating the data packets to or from the mobile communications terminals via the radio network part and the core network part, each of the communications bearers being established using context information associated with one or more connections from the mobile communications terminals to the destination addresses, or to the mobile communications terminals from source addresses. One of the mobile communications terminals is configured to attach to one of the base stations of the mobile communications network, and when in an idle state, to communicate a short message data packet to the base station of the radio network part as a signalling message, the short message data packet including an indication of context information for use by the mobile communications network for communicating the short message data packet. A short message data packet can therefore be communicated (e.g. from a machine type communications (MTC) terminal) in a context-less or quasi-context-less manner without a communications bearer being established thereby reducing an amount of signalling overhead required, which can be an efficient way of communicating relatively small amounts of data.

Title: Segmenting an Image to Optimize Encoding Costs
Inventor: LASSERRE SEBASTIEN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2012-12-24
Abstract: Segmenting a frame of pixels into a plurality of blocks each having a block type comprises performing an initial segmentation S100 of the frame into a set of initial blocks, and determining a block type associated with each initial block. For each block type, an associated set of quantisers is determined S104 based on data corresponding to pixels of blocks having the block type. The segmentation is selected S106, from among a plurality of possible segmentations defining an association between each block of this segmentation and an associated block type, which minimizes an encoding cost. The cost is estimated based on a measure of the rate necessary for encoding each block using the set of quantisers associated with the block type of the encoded block according to the concerned segmentation. The segmentation can therefore be modified to optimize the encoding cost. A frame of pixels may be encoded, e.g. using scalable encoding, in which segmentation of the frame as described above is used. Also disclosed is encoding/decoding video data using quad-trees and encoding/decoding blocks of pixels of an enhancement layer in a scalable encoder by encoding a flag that indicates that collocated blocks of pixels in the lower/base layer should be used to decode the block.
