Title: Wireless communication apparatus and method
Inventor: OHAD AMIR
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2020-04-01
Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a beacon may include an indication, in the form of a pending bit, that a communication is scheduled to occur in a time period following the beacon. When the beacon does not indicate that a communication is scheduled to occur in that time period, listening devices enter a sleep mode before the next anticipated beacon. When the beacon does indicate that a communication is scheduled to occur in that time period, a pending address frame follows the beacon to indicate which listening devices are addressed for communications within the time period, and scheduling of such communications. Non-participating listening devices then have an opportunity for entry into the sleep mode. Separating the pending address information from the beacon shortens the beacon and allows devices to enter sleep mode earlier when there is no pending data.

The message may be an SMS message sent to an M2M device in a dormant state until the message is received. The message may cause communication over a third channel to cease and switch to the second channel. The message may be secured using information established by generic bootstrap architecture, GBA.

Title: Weighted downsampling and weighted transformations for signal coding
Inventor: SIMONE FERRARA
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2019-10-02
Abstract: A method of encoding a signal is described. The signal is down-sampled to generate a version of the signal. This version of the signal is then encoded to produce a first encoded signal. The first encoded signal is then decoded to produce a first decoded signal. The second decoded signal is up-sampled to obtain a first up-sampled decoded signal. A first residual signal is obtained by taking a difference between the first up-sampled decoded signal and a first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal corresponds to the signal prior to down- sampling. The first residual signal is encoded to produce a first encoded residual signal. The first encoded residual signal and the first encoded signal may be received and decoded by a decoder to reconstruct the signal. The signal may comprise a set of frames of video.
