Transmitter quieting and different encoding rates for portions of a set of frames
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data;
encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate;
encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time;
transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and
blanking the transmitter during the null interval, wherein blanking the transmitter during the null interval comprises refraining from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval, wherein the null interval is not less than six milliseconds to provide a sufficient time for reliable spectrum sensing to be performed.

Abstract
A method comprises defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data, encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate, encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time, transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter, and blanking the transmitter during the null interval.

25. A device comprising:
-
a multimedia encoding unit that defines a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data, encodes a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate, and encodes a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; and a transmitter unit that transmits the encoded set of frames, and blanks during the null interval, wherein to blank during the null interval, the transmitter refrains from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval, wherein the null interval is not less than six milliseconds to provide a sufficient time for reliable spectrum sensing to be performed. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 58, 59)

50. A device comprising:
-
means for defining a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data; means for encoding a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate; means for encoding a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; means for transmitting the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and means for blanking the means for transmitting during the null interval, wherein the means for blanking the means for transmitting during the null interval comprises means for refraining from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval, wherein the null interval is not less than six milliseconds to provide a sufficient time for reliable spectrum sensing to be performed. - View Dependent Claims (51, 60)

52. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to:
-
define a period of time for encoding a set of frames of multimedia data; encode a first portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a first encoding rate; encode a second portion of the set of frames of multimedia data at a second encoding rate, wherein the second encoding rate is less than the first encoding rate so as to create a null interval during the period of time; transmit the encoded set of frames via a transmitter; and blank the transmitter during the null interval, wherein the instructions that cause the one or more processors to blank the transmitter during the null interval further cause the one or more processors to refrain from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval, wherein the null interval is not less than six milliseconds to provide a sufficient time for reliable spectrum sensing to be performed. - View Dependent Claims (53, 61)
