Filed:

Mar 17, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/384062

Inventors:

Jin Li - Sammamish WA, US
Yong Sun - Hoffman Estates IL, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H03M 13/00

US Classification:

714774, 714785

Abstract:

A process for distributed source coding (DSC) using context is presented. By forming contexts from prior coded bitplanes of both a reference and DSC coded peer, the DSC virtual channel is split into several virtual sub-channels of different characteristics. The selection of the sub-channel becomes side information that is known to the receiver. As a result, the DSC coding bitrate is reduced.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714800, 714758, 714794

Abstract:

Code designs for channel coding with side information (CCSI) based on combined source-channel coding are disclosed. These code designs combine trellis-coded quantization (TCQ) with irregular repeat accumulate (IRA) codes. The EXIT chart technique is used for IRA channel code design (and especially for capacity-approaching IRA channel code design). We emphasize the role of strong source coding and endeavor to achieve as much granular gain as possible by using TCQ. These code designs synergistically combine TCQ with IRA codes. By bringing together TCQ and EXIT chart-based IRA code designs, we are able to approach the theoretical limit of dirty-paper coding.

US Classification:

382109, 702 6

Abstract:

Data transmission from a bottom hole assembly (BHA) includes obtaining a scan from multiple scans forming a downhole data log of a borehole within a subterranean formation. The scan includes a sequence of data items from a sensor in the BHA located in the borehole. Each data item corresponds to an azimuth angle of the sensor. Further, compressed scan data is generated from the sequence of data items on a per-scan basis, and transmitted, using a pre-determined borehole telemetry, to a surface unit.
