Transmission and detection of multi-channel signals in reduced channel format

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to transmission and detection of multi-channel signals in reduced channel format. An embodiment of a method for transmitting data includes determining whether a first type or a second type of content data is to be transmitted, where the first type of content data is to be transmitted at a first multiple of a base frequency and the second type of data is to be transmitted at a second multiple of the base frequency. The method further includes selecting one or more channels from a plurality of channels based on the type of content data, clocking a frequency on the first or second multiple of the base frequency according to the type of content data in the selected channels, modifying the content data to fit within a single output channel, and transmitting the modified data via a single output channel at the chosen multiple of the base frequency.

主权项

1. A method for transmitting data comprising:
receiving a first portion of content data via a first channel of a plurality of channels at a base frequency; receiving a second portion of the content data via a second channel of the plurality of channels at the base frequency; determining whether the content data to be transmitted is of a first type or a second type, the first type of the content data transmitted at a first frequency and the second type of the content data transmitted at a second frequency; generating output data by:
responsive to determining that the content data is of the first type, multiplexing the content data in the plurality of channels, andresponsive to determining the content data is of the second type, compressing the second portion of the content data and combining the first portion of the content data and the compressed second portion of the content data, a size of the compressed second portion of the content data smaller than a size of the first portion of the content data; and transmitting the output data via a single output channel at a frequency corresponding to the determined type of the content data.
