No, at minimum it must have received TS_STRIDE (default-slope in this
text) and 32 bits (unscaled) TS, for example an in IR packet.

No, the compressor must first establish the TS_STRIDE by sending it
as-is together with unscaled TS. From those two values, TS_SCALED and
TS_OFFSET can be derived and used for later for compression.
