Buffering of a video stream containing intra frames (I-frames) and inter frames (P-frames, B-frames) is disclosed.

The received frames are classified as good frames (G), erasureframes (E), or discontinuous frames (D).

For example, this offers the possibility to exploit redundancy between frames (inter-frame) as well as within frames (intra-frame).

The protocol defines at least three different types of frames including Information frames, Supervisory frames, and Unnumbered frames.

The speech is partitioned into frames and subframes.

The allocation of uplink subframes and downlink subframes is varied between consecutive ones in at least a first series of frames according to a pre-determined pattern.

Encoded pictures comprise one or more independently decodable frames, reference frames, and predicted frames.

Keyframes are then matched to all other keyframes, but intermediate image frames are only matched to temporally neighboring keyframes and neighboring intermediate frames to construct a 'match structure.'

A video coding technique having motion compensation for bi-directional predicted frames (B-frames) and predicted frames (P-frames).

The indication may be representative of the allocation within the subframes of consecutive radio frames, without the indication identifying the radio frames including the allocated subframes.

The group-addressed frames could include data frames or management frames or both.

The memory stores frames and timestamps corresponding to the frames.

Thus, the plurality of consecutive frames includes alternating master sub-frames and slave sub-frames.

The system is operative to automatically detect (20) frames that include dye (bolus frames) and frames that are free of dye (mask frames (21)).

Various aspects described herein provide for the encapsulation of management frames into respective data frames, thereby allowing management frames to be aggregated with data frames.
