Granted: 2013-01-24
Abstract: A transmission device includes: means for performing inverse Fourier transform on a signal for which a reference signal and a data signal have been mapped on respective sub-carriers; and means for radio-transmitting a transmission signal. A total power assigned for a signal which is transmitted in a certain time slot is maintained at the same level as the total power assigned for a signal which is transmitted in another time slot. The power density of the reference signal per unit band is set greater than the power density of the data signal per unit band. Since the total transmission power in each time slot is maintained at a constant level, the power amplification efficiency can be maintained at a high level. Moreover, since the reference signal is transmitted with a higher intensity than the other signals, the channel estimation accuracy is also maintained at a high level.

Title: Signaling of multiple decoding times in media files
Inventor: MISKA HANNUKSELA
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2008-04-23
Granted: 2011-11-17
Abstract: The exemplary embodiments of this invention provide in one aspect thereof an ability to signal multiple decoding times for each sample in a file format level in order to allow, for example, different decoding times for each sample (or sample subset) between decoding an entire stream and decoding a subset of the stream. An alternate decoding time box is specified to allow for the signaling of multiple decoding times for each sample. Such a box can contain a compact version of a table that allows indexing from an alternate decoding time to a sample number, where an alternate decoding time is a decoding time to be used with a sample when only a subset of an elementary stream stored in a track is to be decoded. Furthermore, each entry in the table provides the number of consecutive samples with the same time delta, and the delta between those consecutive samples. By adding the deltas a complete time-to-sample map can be constructed.
