The pseudo-noise (PN) code acquisition based on the sequential estimation (SE) proposed by Ward performs well only at relatively high chip signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). In this paper, a seed accumulating sequential estimation (SASE) method and a PN code acquisition system based on it are proposed, which perform well at low chip SNR (of practical interest) also. Then, the mean acquisition time performance of the proposed system is investigated. Numerical results show that the system based on the SASE performs dramatically better than that based on the SE at low chip SNR, and the improvement becomes larger as the period of PN code increases.

In this paper, we consider the noncoherent code acquisition problem using sequential schemes. We show that the outputs of the noncoherent receiver approximately have a central chi-square distribution under the null hypothesis through simulations. Based on this observation, simplified acquisition schemes are obtained using the approximations of the Bessel function. The performance of the simplified and original schemes are compared in additive white Gaussian noise and slowly varying fading channels. Numerical results show that the simplified schemes have essentially the same performance as the original schemes.

In this paper, a novel pseudo noise (PN) code acquisition scheme called the phase-shift-network-based differential sequential estimation (PDSE) is proposed, in the presence of data modulation in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. The PDSE has even less complexity compared with that of the dual correlating sequential estimation (DCSE), and the reduction in complexity becomes more significant as the period of PN code increases. Numerical results demonstrate that the PDSE performs equivalently to the DCSE with less complexity.

In the direct sequence spread spectrum system, the correct synchronization is very important; hence, several acquisition schemes based on the sequential estimation have been developed. Typically, the rapid acquisition sequential estimation (RASE) scheme, the seed accumulating sequential estimation (SASE) scheme, the recursive soft sequential estimation (RSSE) scheme have been developed for the correct acquisition. However, the objective performance comparison and analysis between former estimation schemes have not been performed so far. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of the above sequential estimation schemes by simulating the correct chip probability and the mean acquisition time (MAT).

In this paper, we propose a rate control method based on the $R-{\lambda}$ model that supports a parallel encoding structure in GOP levels or IDR period levels for 4K UHD input video in real-time. For this, a slice-level bit allocation method is proposed for parallel encoding instead of sequential encoding. When a rate control algorithm is applied in the GOP level or IDR period level parallelism, the information of how many bits are consumed cannot be shared among the frames belonging to a same frame level except the lowest frame level of the hierarchical B structure. Therefore, it is impossible to manage the bit budget with the existing bit allocation method. In order to solve this problem, we improve the bit allocation procedure of the conventional ones that allocate target bits sequentially according to the encoding order. That is, the proposed bit allocation strategy is to assign the target bits in GOPs first, then to distribute the assigned target bits from the lowest depth level to the highest depth level of the HEVC hierarchical B structure within each GOP. In addition, we proposed a processing method that is used to improve subjective image qualities by allocating the bits according to the coding complexities of the frames. Experimental results show that the proposed bit allocation method works well for frame-level parallel HEVC software encoders and it is confirmed that the performance of our rate controller can be improved with a more elaborate bit allocation strategy by using the preprocessing results.
