CPC Code(s): H04L1/1854



Abstract: a user equipment (ue) may generate first harq-ack information bits based on a first pdsch and second harq-ack information bits based on a second pdsch. the ue may determine a first slot for an expected pucch transmission with the first harq-ack information bits. when the ue is configured for deferring harq-ack for the first pdsch and when the first slot is unavailable for the expected pucch transmission, the ue may determine an earliest second slot that is available. the ue may also determine a third slot for an expected pucch transmission with the second harq-ack information bits assigned for the second pdsch. the resource assigned for transmission of the first harq-ack information bits is used to verify the order for the first and second harq-ack transmissions regardless of whether the first slot is unavailable and the second earliest slot is used for transmission of the first harq-ack information bits.

CPC Code(s): H04N19/105



Abstract: a block of a video frame can be encoded using inter-prediction, and the motion vector of the block can be encoded based on a motion vector reference of a merge candidate. some video codecs allow a large range of temporal and spatial neighbors to be considered as potential merge candidates. it is not practical to perform motion compensation and rate-distortion optimization for all possible merge candidates. to address this concern, a hardware-efficient process can be implemented to rank and select merge candidates. a reference frame priority list is applied to select a subset of potential reference frame combinations. an efficient top-k sorting algorithm is applied to identify merge candidates for each reference frame combination and keep top merge candidates with highest weights. motion compensation and rate-distortion optimization are performed on the top merge candidates only.
