This patent introduces a method of operating network infrastructure equipment in wireless telecommunications networks. It enables terminal devices to transmit uplink reference signaling supporting radio channel condition measurements. The patent outlines techniques for dynamically changing reference signaling configurations based on terminal device requirements.
Nishith Kumar Sinha
VP, Advanced Video Applications, WarnerMedia Technology and Operations (WMTO) at WarnerMedia.
Patent №: 11818410 (November 14, 2023) –Creation of channel to support legacy video-on-demand systems. This invention enables the generation of a second channel comprising VOD content assets from a live video feed of another channel. By utilizing scheduling rules and versions of video feed segments, Sinha’s system transmits an encoded second channel to numerous multichannel video program distributors, enhancing the viewing experience for end-users.
Patent №: 11818432 (November 14, 2023) –Client-side overlay of graphic hems on media content. This system detects a tag in media content, finds a suitable time slot for it, and displays a relevant graphic overlay based on the user’s device attributes and content context.
Patent №: 11818411 (November 14, 2023) –Publishing a disparate live media output stream that complies with distribution format regulations.
This innovation includes generating an updated schedule based on a low-latency preview of a live input stream and manipulating manifests of the live input stream to create a disparate live media output stream manifest. Additionally, it incorporates a pre-encoded media asset based on the updated schedule, streamlining the distribution process.
Iraj Sodagar
Senior Technical Director at Tencent America.
Patent №: 11818189 (November 14, 2023) – Method and apparatus for media streaming.
This patent focuses on introducing novel methods and apparatuses for playing media through the use of a DASH player. The disclosed invention enables the configuration of a media source extension (MSE) source buffer based on independent timelines of two different media contents, seamlessly transitioning between them. This innovation brings a more fluid and immersive media streaming experience to users.
Farhad Meshkati
Mr. Meshkati received the B.A.Sc. degree in engineering science and the M.A.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 2006.
Since 2006, he has been with Qualcomm Technologies, where he has worked on the design, standardization, and commercialization of 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless systems.
Patent №: 11818062 (November 14, 2023) –Sounding reference signals and channel state information reference signals enhancements for coordinated multipoint communications.
This patent introduces a method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus, where a user equipment (UE) can transmit sounding reference signals (SRS) using a specific configuration. By assigning a comb value greater than 4, the UE efficiently transmits the SRS transmission over a span of resource blocks during a slot. This innovation enhances the overall performance of coordinated multipoint communications.
Kamal Sinha
Principal System Power Engineer at Intel Corporation.
Patent №: 11816384 (November 14, 2023) – Regional adjustment of render rate.
This innovation enables the automatic adjustment of screen rendering rates based on the user’s gaze, reducing power consumption while enhancing performance. By separating the screen display into regions and varying the rendering rate based on user attention.
