Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In the case of a method for decoding a data stream a first decoding means (DR 2 ) is provided which is configured to decode from a data stream in a first data stream format at least two units of user data, wherein for decoding the second unit of the at least two units at least partial information from the first unit of the at least two units is used. Likewise reference data is provided and subsequently the first decoding means (DR 2 ) is initialized with the information from the reference data. The data stream in the first data stream format is supplied to the first decoding means and decoded into at least one unit of user data using the information from the reference data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for decoding data streams comprising: receiving, at a receiver, a data stream in a first format from a transmitting device; decoding, using a first decoder of the receiver, a first block of data and a second block of data of the data stream using the first format, wherein the second block of data is predictively decoded using reference data generated using the first block of data, wherein the reference data is stored at a buffer of the first…
