Patent №: 12212742 – Intra prediction method and device. The invention relates to an intra prediction method and apparatus for image decoding. It involves decoding intra prediction information and generating a prediction block using intra prediction. The information includes an intra prediction mode, which may feature a curved intra prediction mode.

Patent №: 12212741 – Method and apparatus for setting reference picture index of temporal merging candidate. The invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting a reference picture index for a temporal merging candidate in inter-picture prediction. It includes determining a reference picture index for a current block, deriving a temporal merging candidate block, and calculating the candidate independently of other decoded blocks. This enhances video processing speed and reduces complexity.

Patent №: 12212740 – Method and apparatus for setting reference picture index of temporal merging candidate. The invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting a reference picture index for a temporal merging candidate in inter-picture prediction. It involves determining a reference picture index for a current block, deriving a temporal merging candidate, and calculating its reference index independently of other decoded blocks.

Patent №: 12212739 – Adaptive video encoding device and method, and appartus using same. The invention provides an image encoding method and device. During encoding, at least one block in a restored slice is set as a reference block, with its encoding parameters distinguished. The target block is then adaptively encoded based on these parameters.

Paul Schliwa-Bertling
Expert Mobile Networks Architecture & Signaling at Ericsson.
He holds an M.Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of Duis-burg-Essen, Germany.
Patent №: 12213102 – Nodes and methods for handling paging.

The invention relates to an image encoding method and device. It sets a reference block within a restored slice, distinguishes its encoding parameters, and adaptively encodes the target block based on these parameters.

Ghyslain Pelletier
Head of 5G Radio Access Networks at InterDigital Communications.
Patent №: 12212982 – Method for sidelink radio link monitoring and radio link failure.

The invention describes methods and apparatuses for monitoring radio links and detecting radio link failure (RLF) in wireless communication, including New Radio (NR) vehicular communication (V2X). Each unicast or multicast link between WTRUs is monitored independently, with RLF determined based on this monitoring.

Patent №: 12212417 – Reliable HARQ-ACK transmission in unlicensed spectrum. The invention describes methods and apparatuses for selective one-shot HARQ feedback based on priority. A WTRU determines the priority of each transport block (TB) linked to HARQ processes from a base station. Upon receiving a feedback request with a selected priority, the WTRU generates an HARQ codebook containing bits for TBs based on the indicated priority. It then determines the transmission power and transmits the one-shot feedback accordingly.
