TLDR
In this article, the authors propose a method for addressing at least one service in a data communication system, which comprises at least a data transmission network (6, 12a, 12b, 15a, 15b, 16, 17) for transmitting information in at least an MPEG data transmission stream (TS).Abstract:
Method for addressing at least one service in a data communication system comprises at least one data transmission network (6, 12a, 12b, 15a, 15b, 16, 17) for transmitting information in at least one preferably MPEG data transmission stream (TS). In the method one or several service_providers transmits services to one or several data transmission networks (6, 12a, 12b, 15a, 15b, 16, 17). The service is assigned an identification (original_ network_id, transport_stream_id, service_id), wherein on basis of the identification (original_network_id, transport_stream_id, service_id), it is possible to retrieve the data transmission stream (TS) to be used and the location in the data transmission stream (TS). The service is assigned an identifying name (service_provider_name, service_name) and a relation between the name information and the identification data, wherein on the basis of the name information (service_provider_name, service_name) and the relation, it is possible to retrieve the service identification.read more

Information additive code generator and decoder for communication systems
TL;DR: In this article, an encoder uses an input file of data and a key to produce an output symbol with key I. The output symbols are generally independent of each other, and an unbounded number (subject to the resolution of I) can be generated, if needed.

Mark K. Eyer,Michael Field +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-way Internet connection is proposed to retrieve web pages and other Internet information resources from a one-way broadcast signal such as a broadcast television signal, where a user selects from a range of available information, including hypertext markup language (HTML) pages, which is carried in the broadcast stream by invoking a command which is defined according to a uniform resource locator (URL) format.

Method and system for targeted content delivery, presentation, management and reporting in a communications network
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is described for the targeting of content presentation to individual users in a communications network including management and reporting, comprising the steps of receiving from content providers, potential content for presentation to users and presenting to a user content selected from said potential content based on information known about said user.
Patent
Enhanced block-request streaming using cooperative parallel HTTP and forward error correction
TL;DR: A block-request streaming system provides for improvements in the user experience and bandwidth efficiency of such systems, typically using an ingestion system that generates data in a form to be served by a conventional file server (HTTP, FTP, or the like), wherein the ingestion system intakes content and prepares it as files or data elements to be serve by the file server, which might or might not include a cache as mentioned in this paper.
