Abstract
A method for dimming a first packet associated with a first bit rate to a second packet associated with a second bit rate is described. A first packet is received. The first packet is analyzed to determine a first bit rate associated with the first packet. Bits associated with at least one parameter are discarded from the first packet. Remaining bits associated with one or more parameters and a special identifier are packed into a second packet associated with a second bit rate. The second packet is transmitted.
Claims22
A method for dimming a first packet associated with a first bit rate to a second:
- packet associated with a second bit rate, the method comprising:
- receiving a first packet;
- analyzing the first packet to determine a first bit rate associated with the first packet;
- discarding bits associated with at least one parameter from the first packet;
- packing remaining bits associated with one or more parameters and a special identifier into a second packet associated with a second bit rate;
- and
- transmitting the second packet.
An apparatus for dimming a first packet associated with a first bit rate to a second packet associated with a second bit rate comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- receive a first packet;
- analyze the first packet to determine a first bit rate associated with the first packet;
- discard bits associated with at least one parameter from the first packet;
- pack remaining bits associated with one or more parameters and a special identifier into a second packet associated with a second bit rate;
- and
- transmit the second packet.
A system that is configured to dim a first packet associated with a first bit rate to a second packet associated with a second bit rate comprising:
- means for processing;
- means for receiving a first packet;
- means for analyzing the first packet to determine a first bit rate associated with the first packet;
- means for discarding bits associated with at least one parameter from the first packet;
- means for packing remaining bits associated with one or more parameters and a special identifier into a second packet associated with a second bit rate;
- and
- means for transmitting the second packet.
A computer-readable medium configured to store a set of instructions executable to:
- receive a first packet;
- analyze the first packet to determine a first bit rate associated with the first packet;
- discard bits associated with at least one parameter from the first packet;
- pack remaining bits associated with one or more parameters and a special identifier into a second packet associated with a second bit rate;
- and
- transmit the second packet.
A method for decoding a packet, the method comprising:
- receiving a packet;
- reading a special identifier included in the packet;
- discovering that the packet was dimmed from a first packet associated with a first bit rate to a second packet associated with a second bit rate;
- and
- selecting a decoding mode for the packet.
A method for dimming a packet from a full-rate to a half-rate, the method comprising:
- receiving a full-rate packet;
- dimming the full-rate packet to a half-rate packet by discarding bits associated with a parameter from the full-rate packet;
- packing the half-rate packet with bits associated with signaling information;
- and
- transmitting the half-rate packet to a decoder.
