Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a parent node may determine that a set of resources is not available for the parent node for communication with a child node of the parent node. The parent node may provide an availability indicator to the child node based at least in part on determining that the set of resources is not available for the parent node for communication with the child node. The availability indicator may indicate the set of resources as available for the child node. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A system and method for transmission of a video stream are provided. The system may include: an encoder adapted to generate a video stream comprising a plurality of encoded frames, encoded according to at least one encoding parameter; a comparator in communication with the encoder, the comparator adapted to compare encoded frames of the plurality of encoded frames with input frames to determine a fitness metric reflective of visual quality of the encoded frames; and a controller in communication with the comparator, the controller adapted to adjust the at least one encoding parameter based on the fitness metric.

This document describes marker based approaches for a CDN to monitor and report on the amount of traffic that it is serving on behalf of content providers. They are particularly useful in hybrid delivery scenarios. Hybrid delivery scenarios means that a client may obtain content, such as a given multimedia stream, from one or more servers in the CDN, or from one or more peers in a peer to peer network. The amount of data served from the peer network is referred to herein as the “offload”, as delivery of that data has been offloaded from the CDN platform.

A device obtains a data structure from a computing device, and divides the data structure into data segments. The device obtains a list of user devices from the computing device and obtains, from one or more network devices, a respective location and a respective reachability of each user device. The device determines, based on the respective location of each user device, a set of user devices connected to a base station. The device determines a communication capability of the base station, and determines, based on the communication capability, a subset of the set of user devices and one or more sets of the data segments. The device sends, based on the respective reachability of each user device of the subset of user devices, the one or more sets of data segments to the subset of user devices via the base station.

The present disclosure discloses a dynamic transmission bandwidth allocation method having dynamic transmission bandwidth allocation mechanism used in a wireless communication apparatus is provided that includes the steps outlined below. Interference information and transmission ability information of remote wireless communication apparatuses is retrieved. A predetermined transmission bandwidth range that includes resource units is set. The remote wireless communication apparatuses are allocated in the predetermined transmission bandwidth range to generate an allocation result. Whether the allocation result satisfies resource unit allocation criteria is determined. When the allocation result does not satisfy the resource unit allocation criteria, the predetermined transmission bandwidth range is shrunk to another allocatable transmission bandwidth range to determine whether the allocation result satisfies the resource unit allocation criteria. When the allocation result satisfies the resource unit allocation criteria, the remote wireless communication apparatuses are allocated according to the allocation result to perform communication thereto through a communication circuit.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data. A data transmission method from a sender terminal to a receiver terminal in a MIMO system using a variable frequency band according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: repeatedly generating a signal field depending on a frequency band that is applied to the transmission of a data frame; generating a data field including the data; generating a data frame including the signal field and the data field; and transmitting the data frame to the receiver terminal. The present invention is advantageous in that a signal field which is transmitted together with the data being transmitted from the sender terminal to the receiver terminal in the MIMO system can be sent more efficiently.

The present disclosure relates to communication methods and communications apparatus. One example method includes receiving, by a terminal, configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information is used to indicate a resource in a plurality of candidate resources of a common search space, and the candidate resources of the common search space are determined based on one or more of a cell identity, downlink bandwidth, a frequency domain resource location of a synchronization channel, and a frequency domain resource location of a broadcast channel, and receiving, by the terminal, common control information on the resource indicated by the configuration information.

In the field of wireless communication technologies, method and apparatus for determining a transport block size (TBS) of a data channel are provided. In a communication network, a terminal device receives control information from a network device. The control information includes modulation indication information and resource information of the data channel. The terminal device determines a modulation order and a code rate according to the modulation indication information, and determines number of time-frequency resources according to the resource indication information of the data channel. The terminal device determines the TBS according to the modulation order, the code rate, and the number of time-frequency resources. Based on the determined TBS, the terminal device decodes the data channel carried on the time-frequency resources or sends the data channel on the time-frequency resources.
