Title: Resource Allocation in a Wireless Communication System
Inventor: HAKOLA SAMI-JUKKA
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2011-12-16
Abstract: There is provided a mechanism usable by an eNB for allocating resources and provide control information about a signal to be transmitted by a communication network element such as a D2D device on resources which may be pre-allocated or allocated directly for the signaling. The eNB sends a resource allocation information message or information element (e.g. a DCI message over PDCCH) which indicates the resources being allocated to a specific communication function, such as D2D. A content or value of a resource allocation field indicates control information usable by the D2D device for forming a signal to be transmitted via the indicated resources. By means of the value of the resource allocation field, the D2D device (UE) derives a signal characteristic or the like (such as a cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code) of the signal to be transmitted on the indicated resources. The resource indication may be implicit in the form of an indication of a pre-allocated resource or direct by indicating a dedicated resource.

Title: Scalable video coding using enhanced inter layer residual prediction
Inventor: FRANCOIS EDOUARD
IPC: H04N19/30
Filed: 2013-01-04
Abstract: A method for encoding an image of pixels and for decoding a corresponding bit stream is described. More particularly, it concerns residual prediction according to a spatial scalable encoding scheme. It can be considered in the context of the Scalable (scalable video encoding SVC) extension of the HEVC standard (noted SHVC). It is proposed to simplify the computational complexity and the memory usage needed by the GRILP and RIFF inter modes by combining upsampling and motion compensation operations into a single operation and/or reducing the complexity of the linear filtering processes involved in some of the processes and/or adopt some limiting usage of these two modes when combined with bidirectional prediction. Accordingly a reduction of the complexity is achieved with, at worst, a limited loss in coding efficiency. Corresponding claims for a device and method of decoding are also disclosed.
