This paper proposes a spectral efficient space-frequency(SF) block coded single carrier-frequency division multiple access(SC-FDMA) transmission system in a relaying multi-path shadow area. The cyclic prefix(CP) is not used in the proposed system in order to prevent a loss of spectral efficiency due to the use of CP. The destruction of channel cyclicity due to the lack of CP is recovered at the receivers of relays and a destination station. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed system without CP is almost same as that of the conventional system with full CP, thus increasing the spectral efficiency.

본 논문에서는 HDTR, 디지털 TV, 영상전화, 멀티미디어 영상 등의 다양한 영상에 적용할 수 있는 영상 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 효율적인 영상 압축을 위하여 움직임에 따른 인간의 시각 효과 특성을 결합한 영상 부호화 기법이다. 입력 영상은 웨이브릿 변환을 통하여 다해상도 영상으로 구성된다. 데이터 압축은 저주파수 대역의 움직임 벡터를 움직임 정도에 따라 고주파수 대역 성분들을 처리함에 의해 얻어진다. 즉, 공간과 방향 주파수에 감도에 따라 인간의 눈에 민감하지 않은 대역을 제거한다. 대역내의 모든 블록을 균일하게 처리하는 기존의 방법에 비해 제안한 방법은 같은 전송율에서 재생 영상의 우수한 화질을 얻었다.

This paper proposes a new quantitative image assessment model which is essential to verify the performance of block-based DCT coding. The proposed model considers not only global distortions such as frequency sensitivity and channel masking using HVS based visual model, but also distortions including several local distortions caused by block-based coding.

In this paper, an efficient pre-processing in space tine block coded-spatial multiplexing systems is presented. The pre-processing scheme is designed empirically with extending the diagonally weighted orthogonal space time-block coded diversity system to spatial multiplexing system. Simulation results show the proposed scheme outperforms both the precoder using the predefued codebooks and typical antenna selection scheme over moderate doppler frequency in limited feedback channel.

In this paper, we propose a multi-cell cooperation method for broadcast packet data services in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based cellular system with multiple transmit antennas. In the proposed method, to transmit two streams of spatially demultiplexed or transmit diversity coded symbols over a number of transmit antennas, we divide a coded packet into multiple subparts to which different cell groups and antenna pairs are assigned. The proposed method enhances the diversity order by transforming the channel frequency responses of two symbol streams in each subpart of the broadcast packet. The increase in diversity of the proposed method is shown with the outage probability under various configurations.

Various models incorporating Human Visual System (HVS) with the Hadamard transform (HT) represented by Walsh functions are considered. Using the exact frequency components of HT basis functions, the optimum modulation transfer function (MTF) which has a higher peak frequency than DCT schemes is obtimum modulation transfer function (MTF) which has a higher peak frequency than DCT schemes is obtained analytically and visually. The main criterion, for error measurement, is errors at the block boundaries which is an important factor in transform coding. The scheme which has no inverse HVS is proposed. It causes some degradation of image data but it is insignigicant. Crossing area of 4 blocks is equalized by the HVS weighting coefficients. The HVS weighted coding results in perceptually higher quality images compared with the unweighted scheme.

A simple postprocessing algorithm is proposed to reduce the blocky artifacts of Block Discrete Cosine Transform (BDCT) coded images. Since the block noise is mostly antisymmetric relative to the block boundaries, we model the blocky noise as one-dimensional antisymmertric functions made by superposing DCT basis functions. observing the frequency characteristics of the noies model, we approximate its high frequency components as those of step functions. Then the proposed postprocessing algorithm eliminates the carefully selected high frequency components of step functions in the one-dimensional sN-point DCT domain, when the encoding block size is $N\;{\times}\;N$. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can also be performed in the spatial domain without computational burden of transforms. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm well reduces the blocky artifacts in both subjective and objectie viewpoints.

A low-complexity dual-user multiplexing scheme is proposed for a pair of mobiles equipped with single antenna operating over frequency-selective fading channels. The proposed scheme employs OFDM transmission scheme with a modified version of a space-frequency code and a low-complexity PIC-SIC group detection is invoked at the corresponding receiver. The BER performances of the proposed scheme are studied using LTE-like parameters through simulations and are compared against those of conventional ZF and ML schemes.

Motion estimation and compensation in the spatial domain check the searching area of specified size in the previous frame and search block to minimize the difference with current block. When we check the searching area, it consumes the most encoding times due to increasing the complexity. We can solve this fault by means of motion estimation using shifting matrix in the transform domain instead of the spatial domain. We derive so the existed shifting matrix to a new recursion equation that we decrease more computations. We modify simply vertical shifting matrix and horizontal shifting matrix in the transform domain for motion estimation of half-pixel accuracy. So, we solve increasing computation due to bilinear interpolation in the spatial domain. Simulation results prove that motion estimation by the proposed algorithm in DCT-based transform domain provides higher PSNR using fewer bits than results in the spatial domain.
