Abstract: A method and system for an enhanced uplink (EU) operation in a wireless communication system during soft handover. The system comprises a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), at least two Node-Bs, and a radio network controller (RNC). One Node-B may be designated as a primary Node-B, and the primary Node-B may control EU operation during soft handover including uplink scheduling and hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ). Soft buffer corruption is avoided during soft handover by controlling H-ARQ by the primary Node-B.  Alternatively, an RNC may control EU operation during soft handover including H-ARQ. In this case, an RNC generates final acknowledge/non-acknowledge (ACK/NACK) decision based on the error check results of the Node-Bs.

Title: Method and apparatus for scalable video encoding and decoding
Inventor: HAN WOO-JIN
IPC: H04N19/00
Filed: 2004-11-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a scalable video coding algorithm. A method for video coding includes temporally filtering frames in the same sequence to a decoding sequence thereof to remove temporal redundancy, obtaining and quantizing transformation coefficients from frames whose temporal redundancy is removed, and generating bitstreams. A video encoder comprises a temporal transformation unit, a spatial transformation unit, a quantization unit and a bitstream generation unit to perform the method. A method for video decoding is basically reverse in sequence to the video coding. A video decoder extracts information necessary for video decoding by interpreting the received bitstream and decoding it. Thus, video streams may be generated by allowing a decoder to decode the generated bitstreams, while maintaining the temporal scalability on an encoder-side.
