The method may include determining, based on a cyclic redundancy check, a first erasure table including zero or more erasures; determining a second erasure table; using the first erasure table to locate errors in a frame of packets, when the zero or more erasures of the first erasure table do not exceed a threshold of erasures; and using the second erasure table to locate errors in the frame of packets, when the one or more erasures of the first erasure table do exceed the threshold of erasures. The frame may include the one or more rows encoded using the outer code. The block that is read may be provided to enable an inner code to encode the block before transmission. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 06-11-2009 |
20090150741 | Modulation Symbol to Outer Codeword Mapping - The subject matter disclosed herein provides an outer coding framework that, in some implementations, provides frequency diversity to outer codewords that are mapped to modulation symbols. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may include inserting a received packet into a frame. Moreover, an outer code may be used to encode the frame. Furthermore, the values read from a column of the frame may be inserted into a link-layer packet. In addition, the column may be shuffled by moving the values of the column based on an offset. The link-layer packet may also be provided to enable an inner code to encode the link-layer packet before transmission. | 06-11-2009 |
20090150742 | Packet Error Rate Correlation Minimization - The subject matter disclosed herein provides an outer coding framework for reducing the correlation between packet errors in a wireless network. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving a packet including information. The received packet may be encoded using a forward error correction code to provide at least one, but no more than two, codewords. At least a portion of each codeword may be inserted into a transport packet for transmission to a client station, wherein the transport packet comprises information from at least one, but no more than two, of the codewords. The transport packet may be sent. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 06-11-2009 |
20090150752 | Outer Coding Framework For Application Packet Error Rate Minimization - The subject matter disclosed herein provides an outer coding framework for minimizing the error rate of packets, such as application data packets used to transmit digital video broadcast data as well as other forms of data. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may include inserting a received packet into one or more rows of a frame. The one or more rows including the received packets may be encoded using an outer code. A block of data from a column of the frame may be read. The frame may include the one or more rows encoded using the outer code. The block that is read may be provided to enable an inner code to encode the block before transmission through a wireless network. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 06-11-2009 |
20090150753 | Data Fragmentation Identification in a Data Table - The subject matter disclosed herein provides a mechanism for identifying packet boundaries in a data table, such as a Reed-Solomon table. The method may include receiving one or more packets for insertion into a table. A first indicator may be inserted into the table. The first indicator may be associated with one or more rows of the table and may identify whether each of the one or more rows includes one or more fragments (e.g., a packet beginning, a packet ending, and the like). In each of the rows identified by the first indicator as including one or more fragments, a second indicator may be inserted. The second indicator may represent a length in bytes of at least one of the corresponding packet fragments. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 06-11-2009 |
20120033598 | MBS WITH OUTER CODING AND ADJUSTED FRAME REFERENCE - The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus for providing MBS (multicast broadcast service) with outer coding and adjusted frame reference indexing. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method includes receiving data packets from a network, dividing the data packets into one or more data streams, applying outer encoding on the one or more data streams and providing the one or more encoded data streams to an air interface for transmission to a user equipment over a wireless communication system. | 02-09-2012 |
20120230240 | MULTICAST BROADCAST SERVICE CONTROLLER - A multicast broadcast service controller is disclosed. The MBSC processes multicast broadcast data streams for transmission to access service network gateways or base stations. The MBSC includes a MBSC core processor for establishing time synchronization information used the by the access service network gateways or base stations to synchronously transmit data streams. The MBSC core processor selects streams for transmission in a time diversity interval (TDI) and builds multicast broadcast (MBS) region content based on the selected streams and configuration information. The MBS region content includes timing synchronization information, resource information and MBS region content location information. A MBS region distribution module (MRD) transmits the MBS region content to the access service network gateways or base stations. | 09-13-2012 |
