SIMPLIFIED PROCESSING OF WEIGHTED PREDICTION SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS USING A BIT DEPTH VARIABLE FOR HIGH PRECISION DATA
Particular embodiments may remove a condition check in the semantics for checking a high-precision data flag. This simplifies the semantics used in the encoding and decoding process. In this case, even if the high-precision data flag is not set, the value of the weighted prediction syntax element is set by the BitDepth variable. However, even if the BitDepth is not considered high-precision data, such as 8 bits, the range for the weighted prediction syntax element is still the same as the fixed value. For example, the syntax elements luma_offset_10[i], luma_offset_11[i], delta_chroma_offset_10[i][j], and delta_chroma_offset_11[i][j] use the variable BitDepth as described above whether the flag extended_precision_processing_flag is enabled and not enabled to indicate whether the bit depth is above a threshold.

USING A NETWORK REQUIREMENTS FIELD TO PROVIDE A STATION ACCESS TO A NETWORK
Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an exchange of messages between an access point and a station, wherein the access point requests a unique identifier from the station. The request can include a network requirements field that indicates that a unique identifier is required for access to the network. The station initiates a secure connection with the access point prior to associating with the access point. The station may either respond with a message declining to provide a unique identifier or respond with a message including a unique identifier to be used by the access point for the station via the secure connection. The response from the station may include additional limitations on the use of the unique identifier by the access point. The access point may enforce different policies against the station depending upon how the station responds to the unique identifier request.

Particular embodiments provide a variable, BitDepth, that may be set at a value based on a number of bits used to represent pixels in pictures of a video. The variable may be used in syntax elements in HEVC, such as the HEVC range extension, but other coding standards may be used.

A sound identification system is used for identifying a sound associated with a client user. The sound identification system can receive information from a network device in a network that is associated with the client user. The sound identification system determines one or more context parameters based on the information. A client user can output a sound. This sound can be received as a sound input by the sound identification system. The sound identification system can determine one or more identified sound signatures associated with the client user based on one or more sound signatures. The sound identification system can determine an identified sound based on the one or more identified sound signatures and the one or more context parameters. In this way, a client user is monitored using context-aware sound identification.

CONTEXT-AWARE SOUND IDENTIFICATION FOR MONITORING A CLIENT USER
A monitoring system can provide a sound profile to a network device. The monitoring system can identify a type of location associated with the network device that is located in a network. The monitoring system can determine a sound profile based on the type of location. The monitoring system can provide the sound profile to the network device. The sound profile relates to one or more sounds associated with the location so that the network device need not store and/or process all sounds but rather only those sounds that would typically be received or made at the location. The sound profile can be based or updated based on user sensor data received from the network device. In this way, the network device, the monitoring system, any other network resource, or any combination thereof uses context-aware sound identification to monitor a client user.

Nodes, amplifiers, and taps for an improved hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network and methods for managing signals in an improved HFC network are shown and disclosed. The method may include receiving, at a node, a downstream optical signal in a higher-frequency band and a lower-frequency band separated from the higher-frequency band. The method may additionally include amplifying, at the node, the lower-frequency band by a magnitude different than that of the higher-frequency band. The method may further include combining, at the node, the higher-frequency band and the lower-frequency band into an output signal after the lower-frequency band has been amplified.

An exemplary system provides dynamic supplemental content in a recorded content playback. The supplemental content are dynamically added to the recorded playback content which was streamed over IP using a MPEG-DASH format or related format. This allows a service provider to provide pertinent supplemental content to the end user and service provider.

A method of encoding a digital video data applies adaptive pre-processing to data representing high dynamic range (HDR) and/or wide color gamut (WCG) image data prior to encoding and complementary post-processing to the data after decoding in order to allow at least partial reproduction of the HDR and/or WCG data. The example methods apply one or more color space conversions, and a perceptual transfer functions to the data prior to quantization. The example methods apply inverse perceptual transfer functions and inverse color space conversions after decoding to recover the HDR and/or WCG data. The transfer functions are adaptive so that different transfer functions may be applied to video data sets including different groups of frames, frames or processing windows in a single frame. Information on the data set and information on the applied transfer function is passed as metadata from the encoder to the decoder.

A method of decoding a bitstream comprising decoding the bitstream into color values and metadata items indicating information about adaptive post-processing operations performed by a decoder, performing high dynamic range (HDR) adaptation operations on the color values based on the metadata items, and performing fixed post-processing operations to reconstruct an HDR video from the color values, wherein the HDR adaptation operations convert color values into a format expected by the fixed post-processing operations.
