A method for compressing pre-compressed data used in a reconfigurable processor, where the pre-compressed data includes a number of data blocks, obtains a current data block, calculates a current checking code of the current data block, and compares the current checking code with an immediately-previous checking code. A tag of the current data block is marked as a first tag if the current checking code and the immediately-previous checking code are different, and is marked as a second tag if the current checking code and the immediately-previous checking code are the same. Only data blocks whose tags are the first tags are saved. A related device for compressing data, and a method and a device for decompressing data are also provided.

A network switch includes a plurality of Ethernet ports having their respective Physical (PHY) Layers interconnected via a common interface local to the network switch. The common interface passes local information among respective PHY layers of the Ethernet ports. One or more receivers receive for a first Ethernet port, over the common interface, information indicative of alien cross talk affecting at least one second Ethernet port of the network switch. A transmission attribute controller adjusts, based on the received information indicative of alien cross talk affecting the at least one second Ethernet port of the network switch, a first data rate and/or a first transmit power level to a second data rate and/or a second transmit power level for transmitting data to a remote network device. A first transmitter transmits data via the first Ethernet port according to the second data rate and/or the second transmit power level.

A method for execution in a storage network, the method begins by determining a user device group content preference, wherein the user group content includes target content for a user device group and the determining includes predicting future target content for the user group. The method continues by selecting a plurality of network edge units for staging encoded data slices, identifying target content for partial download to the plurality of network edge units and dispersed error encoding the target content to generate a set of encoded data slices. The method then continues by identifying encoded data slices from the set of encoded data slices corresponding to the target content for partial download and determining a partial downloading schedule for sending the encoded data slices for partial download to each network edge unit of the plurality of network edge units. The method continues by facilitating partial downloading of the target content by sending the encoded data slices for partial download to each network edge unit of the plurality of network edge units.

A signaling system includes a pre-emphasizing transmitter and an equalizing receiver coupled to one another via a high-speed signal path. The receiver measures the quality of data conveyed from the transmitter. A controller uses this information and other information to adaptively establish appropriate transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization settings, e.g. to select the lowest power setting for which the signaling system provides some minimum communication bandwidth without exceeding a desired bit-error rate.

In a communication device, a multi-carrier signal with at least one group of signal carriers is received from a communication connection. For each of the signal carriers, at least one individual error value is evaluated or generated. From the individual error values, a combined error value is evaluated or generated. The combined error value is transmitted on a backchannel of the communication connection.

A method for transmitting channel status information of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE reports first channel information to a base station periodically; and reports second channel information to the base station periodically. The first channel information and the second channel information are pieces of information combined to indicate one precoding matrix. The second channel information reported in a specific subframe is calculated based on last reported first channel information. A channel quality indicator (CQI) reported in the specific subframe is calculated based on one precoding matrix indicated by the last reported first channel information and the second channel information reported in the specific subframe.

Provided is a precoding method for generating, from a plurality of baseband signals, a plurality of precoded signals to be transmitted over the same frequency bandwidth at the same time, including the steps of selecting a matrix F[i] from among N matrices, which define precoding performed on the plurality of baseband signals, while switching between the N matrices, i being an integer from 0 to N−1, and N being an integer at least two, generating a first precoded signal z1 and a second precoded signal z2, generating a first encoded block and a second encoded block using a predetermined error correction block encoding method, generating a baseband signal with M symbols from the first encoded block and a baseband signal with M symbols the second encoded block, and precoding a combination of the generated baseband signals to generate a precoded signal having M slots.

Disclosed are a broadcast signal transmitter, a broadcast signal receiver, and a method for transceiving a broadcast signal in the broadcast signal transmitter/receiver. A method for transmitting a broadcast signal comprises the following steps: signaling in-band signaling information to at least one of a service component physical layer pipe (PLP) including at least one service component of a broadcast service, a first information PLP including first service information applied to one broadcast service and a second information PLP including second service information applied commonly to a variety of broadcast services; performing the FEC encoding on data included in each PLP; performing time-interleaving on the FEC encoded data; generating a transmission frame including the time-interleaved data; and modulating the transmission frame and transmitting a broadcast signal including the modulated transmission frame.

A system and method for providing both localized and distributed transmission modes for EPDCCH is disclosed, where one EPDCCH comprises of one or multiple CCEs. Localized versus distributed transmission may be defined in terms of the EPDCCH to CCE resource mapping. In a localized transmission CCEs are restricted to be contained within one PRB. In a distributed transmission a CCE spans over multiple PRBs. A UE can be configured to either receive the EPDCCH only in localized or only in distributed transmissions. A UE can also be configured to expect EPDCCH transmissions in both localized and distributed transmissions. In each PRB configured by the higher layer as an EPDCCH resource, 24 REs that may be used for any DMRS transmission are always reserved and not used for EPDCCH transmission.

A method for sending and detecting downlink control information, a sending end and a receiving end are described, the method for detecting the downlink control information may include: a User Equipment (UE)-specific search space of an enhance Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) bearing downlink control information is determined according to a preset interval; wherein the preset interval is determined according to a number of candidate positions of one component carrier at a corresponding aggregation level in a corresponding resource set, or the preset interval is determined according to the number of the candidate positions of one component carrier at the corresponding aggregation level in the corresponding resource set, and a number of scheduled component carriers, or the preset interval is determined according to the number of the candidate positions of one component carrier at the corresponding aggregation level in the corresponding resource set, and a number of configured component carriers; and the downlink control information on a physical resource corresponding to the UE-specific search space is detected. Through the disclosure, a problem of detecting the ePDCCH can be solved.
