In this paper, we present a candidate high data rate space time coded OFDM system for short range personal networking. The system transmits the complex space time coded signals with a hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based on ultra wideband (UWB) pulses. The transmitted signals are sparse pulse trains modulated by a frequency selected from a properly designed set of frequencies. Additionally, a widely linear (WL) receive filter and a space time frequency transmission are designed by using two simple parallel linear detectors. To overcome the deeply fade in the propagation system, a beamforming combined with space time block codes also 따 e briefly discussed.

The Viterbi algorithm(VA) is used to estimate the state transition of discrete-time finite state machine(FSM) that is in an uncorrelated noisy environment. This paper modified the Hamming Network to estimate the state transitions in the finite state machines, and proposed state-parallel and block-parallel Viterbi decoder. The modified Hamming Network(mHN) can perform the decoding of convolutional codes correctly as conventional Viterbi decoder. Furthermore, the complexities of the proposed Viterbi decoder are reduced approximately 10% less than conventional Viterbi decoder, and the processing times are improved approximately 40% more than conventional Viterbi decoder.

We proposed a spatial modulation (SM) scheme to improve spectral efficiency of multi-input multi output (MIMO) systems by using double multi-strata space-time codes (D-MSSTC). For improving the performance of proposed scheme, we allocate transmit power and phase to layers in each MSSTC, and assign rotation angle to SM codebooks. Additionally, we jointly optimize power, phase and rotation angle to maximize the minimum coding gain distance of D-MSSTC-SM. It is observed that the proposed scheme shows better error performance with high spectral efficiency than conventional schemes in simulation results.

In this paper, a new rate-distortion estimation method is proposed for fast rate-distortion optimized(RDO) mode decision in H.264 encoder. A bit-rate and distortion should be calculated by encoding and reconstruction of each macroblock mode in order to select the optimal RDO mode. To reduce the computations for getting them, a bit-rate and distortion is efficiently estimated in DCT domain. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves computational saving about 81% of RDO mode decision and saves about 26% of total encoding time without noticeable degradation in coding performance.

본 논문에서는 멀티 코드 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access)시스템에서 고속의 멀티미디어 서비스를 지원하기 위해 정보 데이터열을 QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) 부호화하는 방법을 제안한다. 송신 구조는 입력 비트를 정진폭 다중부호 이진직교 변조(Constant amplitude code biorthogonal modulation: 이하 CACB라 칭함)로 부호화하여 전송 심볼의 크기를 일정하게 하고 이렇게 이진화된 신호를 QAM 부호화하여 전송속도를 높인다. 복조기의 구조는 수신된 신호로부터 QAM 연판정기 블록을 거쳐 생성된 신호를 CACB 복호화기를 거쳐 데이터를 복조해 낸다. 제안된 시스템은 기존의 멀티 코드 방식에 비해 대역폭 효율을 크게 개선시킬 수 있어 전송 속도를 많이 향상시킬 수 있고, 멀티 코드 방식을 기반으로 하기 때문에 디지털 가전기기나 3세대 이동통신과, WPAN과 관련된 무선 네트워크 응용과 같은 미래의 고속의 무선 멀티미디어 서비스를 지원하기에 적합하다.

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) extension considers screen content as one of its main candidate sources for encoding. Among the tools already included in HEVC version 1, the technique of using transform skip mode allows transform to be skipped and to perform quantization process only. It is known to improve video coding efficiency for screen contents which are characterized to have much high frequency energy. But encoding complexity increases since its encoder should decide whether transform should be used or not in each $4{\times}4$ transform block. Based on statistical correlation between IBC (Intra block copy) and transform skip modes both of which are known effective in screen contents, this paper proposes a combined method of the fast transform skip mode decision and a modified transform skip signaling which signals transform_skip_flag at CU level as a representative transform skip signal. By simulation, the proposed method is shown to reduce encoding time of $4{\times}4$ transform blocks by about 32%.

In general, the stability and response characteristics of the system can be improved by changing the pole position because a nonlinear system can be linearized by the product of a 1st and 2nd order system. Therefore, a controller that moves the pole can be designed in various ways. Among the other methods, LQ control ensures the stability of the system. On the other hand, it is difficult to specify the location of the pole arbitrarily because the desired response characteristic is obtained by selecting the weighting matrix by trial and error. This paper evaluated a method of selecting a weighting matrix of LQ control that moves multiple double poles with Jordan blocks to real poles. The relational equation between the double poles and weighting matrices were derived from the characteristic equation of the Hamiltonian system with a diagonal control weighting matrix and a state weighting matrix represented by two variables (ρ_d, ϕ_d). The Moving-Range was obtained under the condition that the state-weighting matrix becomes a positive semi-definite matrix. This paper proposes a method of selecting poles in this range and calculating the weighting matrices by the relational equation. Numerical examples are presented to show the usefulness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity loop filtering method depending on transform-block regions. Block adaptive loop filter (BALF) was developed to improve about 10% in compression performance for the next generation video coding. The BALF employs the Wiener filter that makes reconstructed frames close to the original ones and transmits filter-related information. However, the BALF requires high computational complexity, while it can achieve high compression performance because the block adaptive loop filter is applied to all the pixels in blocks. The proposed method is a new loop filter that classifies pixels in a block into inner and boundary regions based on the characteristics of the integer transform and derives optimum filters for each region. Then, it applies the selected filters for the inner and/or boundary regions. The decoder complexity can be adjusted by selecting region-dependent filter to be used in the decoder side. We found that the proposed algorithm can reduce 35.5% of computational complexity with 2.56% of compression loss, in case that only boundary filter is used.

The key elements of inter prediction are motion estimation(ME) and motion compensation(MC). Motion estimation is to find the optimum motion vectors, not only by using a distance criteria like the SAD, but also by taking into account the resulting number of 비트s in the 비트 stream. Motion compensation is compensate for movement of blocks of current frame. Inter-prediction Encoding is always the main bottleneck in high-quality streaming applications. Therefore, in real-time streaming applications, dedicated hardware for executing Inter-prediction is required. In this paper, we studied a motion estimator(ME) for H.264/AVC. The designed motion estimator is based on 2-D systolic array and it connects processing elements for fast SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference) calculation in parallel. By providing different path for the upper and lower lesion of each reference data and adjusting the input sequence, consecutive calculation for motion estimation is executed without pipeline stall. With data reuse technique, it reduces memory access, and there is no extra delay for finding optimal partitions and motion vectors. The motion estimator supports variable-block size and takes 328 cycles for macro-block calculation. The proposed architecture is local memory-free different from paper [6] using local memory. This motion estimation encoder can be applicable to real-time video processing.
