The invention relates to a wireless access telecommunications system comprising at least an SA-cell with which a terminal in an active mode is configured to have a data connection and an LA-cell on which the terminal in an idle mode is configured to camp.

The invention is concerned with insertion of secondary content in a time slot of primary content.

A method of encoding video data into a bitstream comprising: determining from the plurality of video blocks of a video frame of a first resolution a current block and one or more reference blocks including reference samples for predicting original samples of the current block; determining predicted samples of the current block based on a downsampling scheme, the determining comprising computing samples of a first low-resolution block of a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution, and predicting samples of one or more second low-resolution blocks of the second resolution based on the samples of the first low resolution block, the samples of the first low-resolution block and the one or more second low-resolution blocks defining predicted samples of the current Block; and, determining residual samples of a residual block based on original samples of the current block and the predicted samples of the current block; transforming the samples of the residual block into a bitstream; and, embedding metadata associated with the current block in the bitstream for signalling a decoder apparatus that the predicted samples of the current block are based on the downsampling scheme.

A method and processor system are provided for adapting an acoustic rendering of an audio source to a visual rendering of an image-based object.

Some embodiments are directed to a blockchain management device (100) configured to distribute a new block of a secondary blockchain to at least one further blockchain management device that manages the secondary blockchain, and to distribute a transaction to at least one blockchain management device that manages a primary blockchain, said transaction comprising an identification of a set of transactions in the new block.
