In this paper, we propose the bit-rate control algorithm for the block based image compression like H.263, H.263+ or MPEG-4. The proposed algorithm is designed to identify the quantization parameter set through the Lagrangian optimization technique based on the well-known linear source model. We set the Lagrangian cost function with the rates and distortion calculated from the linear source model. We calculate the quantization parameter set using the Vitervi algorithm to solve the Lagrangian optimization problem considering the Dquant method of H.263 and MPEG-4. The proposed algorithm improves the video quality by up to 1.5 dB compared with the TMN8 scheme, and is more effective in the video sources with dynamic activities than the consistent quality approaches.

다양한 처리능력을 가진 단말기들은 복잡한 네트워크, 환경의 호환성을 제공하기 위해서, 전송 네트워크 채널이 허용하는 범위내로 부호화 된 비디오의 비트 율을 적응적으로 맞춰 주어야 한다 트랜스코더는 특정 비트율로 부호화되어 있는 비디오를 원하는 비트율의 다시 변환하기 위해서 복호화 만 후 다시 부호와의 과정을 거쳐야 하기 때문에 이에 따른 계산량의 증가와 더불어 전송시간에 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위한 한 가지 방법으로 제안된 것이 프레임 건너뜀 기법 즉 시간적 해상도 변환 트랜스코딩이다. 비디오를 부호화하는 과정에서 계산량을 가장 많이 차지하는 움직임 추정과정의 계산량을 줄임으로써 트랜스코딩을 수행하는데 소모되는 시간과 노력을 크게 줄이고, 건너뛰지 않고 남아있는 프레임에 더 많은 비트를 할당하여 요구되는 화질을 유지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 방향성을 고려한 움직임 벡터 재추정 기법과 정제 기법을 제안한다 제안된 기법인 E-FDVS(Efficient-Forward Dominant Vector Selection)는 움직임 벡터의 방향성을 고려하여 매크로블록과 움직임 벡터의 차이를 이용하여 움직임 벡터를 재추정한다. 그리고 제안한 기법인 DOS(Direction Oriented Search)를 사용하여 재추정 된 움직임 벡터의 방향으로 강한 움직임 벡터 정제를 함으로써 기존의 기법에 비해 우수한 화질을 제공한다.

본 논문에서는 화면간 상관성을 이용한 최적의 비트 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 Q2 비트율 제어 알고리즘을 기반으로 하며, 인트라(Intra) 화면에 대한 비트할당과 인터(Inter) 화면에 대한 비트 할당으로 구성된다. 일반적으로 비디오 시퀀스(Sequence)의 각 화면들은 서로 많은 상관성을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 점을 고려하여, 다른 화면들의 화질에 상대적으로 더 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있는 중요한 화면을 선택하고, 선택된 화면들은 각각의 중요도에 따라 더 많은 비트가 할당되어 화질이 향상된다. 선택된 화면의 화질 향상은 이 화면으로부터 움직임 예측과 움직임 보상을 하는 다른 화면의 화질까지도 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법은 MPEG-4비디오를 비롯하여 최근에 만들어진 H.264/AVC 부호화 표준에서도 좋은 결과를 보였다.

The MPEG-2 Test Model 5 (TM5) algorithm is widely used for bit rate control. In TM5, however, the target number of bits and the number of actual coding bits for each picture do not match well. Therefore, buffer overflow and picture quality degradation may occur at the end of the GOP. In this paper, we propose a new bit rate control algorithm for matching the target and the actual coding bits based on accurate bit allocation. The key idea of the proposed algorithm is to determine quantization Parameters which enable us to generate the number of actual coding bits close to the target number of bits for each picture, while maintaining uniform picture quality and supporting real-time processing. The proposed algorithm exploits the relationship between the number of actual coding bits and the number of estimated bits of the previous macroblock.

User cooperation provides high reliability in wireless communication systems by employing relay nodes to transmit the same information. In this paper, a bit error rate (BER) study is presented for decode-and-forward (DF) relaying for user cooperation in independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. For an arbitrary number of relays, exact and closed-form expressions of the BER are proposed for M-ary PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation), QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and PSK (Phase Shift Keying), respectively. It is also shown that the analytic results are perfectly matched with the simulated ones.

When communication network is designed, total Quantity of lines is decided by expected capacity to be caculated based on busy hour traffic. But this method is wasted many a portion of communication networks because of caculation by busy hour traffic. In this paper, it is proposed the solution that applied CDMA to the wired lines and it is shown changing the volume of networks via BER. In example, when a channel of 13kbps voice was transmitted to El at 2% BER, we can get 120 channels and the higher BER makes the bigger channels. So, it is shown that communication networks is designed by BER instead of busy hour traffic.

Pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) can be used for the channel estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission systems. However, imperfect channel estimates in PSAM systems degrade the bit error rate (BER) performance. I derive the BER of PSAM OFDM systems over time dispersive fading channels. The BER performance of OFDM systems with SFBC antenna diversity are analyzed, where data is transmitted over time and frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this PSAM SFBC OFDM systems, gauged by the average bit error rate, is analyzed considering the channel estimation error.

Streaming video has become a popular form of transferring media over the wired/wireless network. TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) is used as a streaming media transport protocol. Using the TCP congestion response function and current network conditions, TFRC adjusts its sending rate to yield the maximum TCP-friendly throughput. Since TFRC was designed for applications that would prefer to maintain a slowly-changing sending rate, it is less responsive to changes in handover between wireless heterogeneous networks such as 3G network, WLAN, and so on. This paper shows a new TFRC method for vertical handover over wireless heterogeneous network. The proposed TFRC method has features of low quality interruption and fast rate adaptation to a new target network. The simulation results show that the proposed one provides better QoS and throughput support than the traditional TFRC scheme during vertical handover.

In implementing GCRA, well known as the representative user traffic policing algorithm for constant-bit rate service, it is essential to set proper values for delay variation tolerance in order to prevent network overload and excessive user data loss due to delay variation incurred inevitably during transmission process. In this paper, we investigate the performance of GCRA algorithm for various values of delay variation tolerance and suggest a guideline for setting proper delay variation tolerance values.
