A method of encapsulating data and a single frequency network configured to perform the method are disclosed. A content stream of data packets is received, and the data packets in the content stream are formatted in accordance with a first protocol. Information identifying a container size established for the content stream is received. The data packets formatted in accordance with the first protocol are fragmented and packed to form data units formatted in accordance with a second protocol, and the data units are sized based on the container size. The data units formatted in accordance with the second protocol are encapsulated to form second protocol data packets. The second protocol data packets are provided to a transmitter that is synchronized to one or more transmitters in a single frequency network so that each transmitter in the single frequency network broadcasts a same signal that includes the second protocol data packets.

A system and a method render internet multimedia content in a network using an application to render the internet multimedia content and/or locally stored multimedia content on one or more rendering devices in the network. The application may provide web browser functions, such as, for example, receiving, processing, decoding and/or rendering the internet multimedia content. The application may have an enhanced user interface which may enable a user to select the internet multimedia content and a rendering device in the network, send the internet multimedia content to the rendering device and/or control rendering of the internet multimedia content on the rendering device.

A satellite reception assembly that provides satellite television and/or radio service to a customer premises may comprise a wireless interface via which it can communicate with other satellite reception assemblies. Wireless connections between satellite reception assemblies may be utilized for providing satellite content between different satellite customer premises. Wireless connections between satellite reception assemblies may be utilized for offloading traffic from other network connections.

A method for transmitting broadcast signals by an apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals, the method includes encoding service data according to a 16200 bit codeword and a 11/15 code rate based on addresses in a parity check matrix, wherein the encoded service data comprises information bits and parity bits; building at least one signal frame by mapping the encoded service data; modulating data in the built signal frame by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme; and transmitting broadcast signals having the modulated data, wherein the encoding of the service data comprises: initializing the parity bits, adding the information bits to the parity bits of which addresses are based on values of entries in each row of the parity check matrix, wherein a row of the parity check matrix corresponds to a 360 bit group of the information bits.

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for accessing a terminal device camera to a target device. The method includes: establishing a connection channel between the terminal device camera and the target device; starting the terminal device camera and obtaining image data captured by the terminal device camera; and transmitting the obtained image data to the target device through the connection channel established.

An apparatus, e.g. a wireless media access point, includes a transceiver, a non-transitory storage medium, and a processor operably coupled to the transceiver and the storage medium. The processor is configured by instructions stored on the storage medium to transmit a first multicast channel associated with a first group temporal key (GTK), and to simultaneously transmit a second multicast channel associated with a second GTK.

A media playback system is configured to automatically establish a connection, via a wireless network, to an internet-based media platform, delivering copyright-protected media assets and establishing access to some or all of those assets. No prior user configuration, set-up, sign-up or other user identification for that media delivery platform is needed because the system automatically and uniquely identifying itself to the media delivery platform to enable that platform, or an access control component associated with the platform, to determine if the system is licensed to receive streaming media, irrespective of the user of the system. The system can include a portable remote control device that enables a user to select copyright-protected media, such as streaming media, from the media delivery platform. The remote control is used to control a user interface displayed on a TV that has been re-purposed to serve as the streaming media output.

Methods and systems are provided for power management in communication devices, particularly based on cable connectivity. A power management component in a system may be configured to obtain measurements associated with a signal path used for communication by the system via a communication port, and manage power use in the system based on the obtained measurement. Managing the power use may include determining, based on the obtained measurements, connectivity related information associated with connectivity of the system via the communication port, and applying based on the information one or more power use reduction measures, with the one or more power use reduction measures including at least transitioning between different power related states.

A system for providing data communication over a MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance) network in a construction complex, the system comprising a coaxial network; a network management device connectable to an external data channel, the network management device comprising a connector structured to be connected to the coaxial network; and a control unit having a first MoCA chip, wherein the control unit is configured to establish an access function, creating a control channel over the coaxial network to one or more MoCA end devices; and at least one MoCA end device connected to the coaxial network, wherein the at least one MoCA end device has a second MoCA chip and a network access unit connected to a bus on the second MoCA chip.

[Problem] To provide: a decoding device that decodes and replays, in a suitable order, sequentially transmitted information; a reception device; a transmission/reception system; a decoding method; and a storage medium having the decoding program stored therein. [Solution] A decoding unit 21 that decodes packets sent from a transmission device 10. A decoding order determination unit 22 determines the order of packets to be decoded by the decoding unit 21, on the basis of adjustment information that is included in the packet and corresponds to a time adjustment for making Coordinated Universal Time approach Universal Time. The packets include order information indicating the order in the same IP data flow. The decoding order determination unit 22 determines, on the basis of the order information, the order of packets to be decoded by the decoding unit 21, if the adjustment information indicates that a time adjustment will occur.
