As a demand for high speed uplink packet services increases, the WCDMA enhanced uplink, also known as high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), has been specified in release 6 by 3GPP. This HSUPA will provide various types of multimedia services, such as real-time video streaming, gaming, VoIP, and FTP. Generally, the performance of HSUPA is dominated by scheduling policy. Therefore, it is required to design a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to provide QoS guaranteed services in various traffic environments. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to guarantee QoS in a mixed traffic environment. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated in terms of average packet delay, packet delay jitter, and system throughput using a system level simulator.

High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) obtains high compression ratio by applying recursive quad-tree structured coding unit(CU). However, this recursive quad-tree structure brings very high computational complexity to HEVC encoder. In this paper, we present fast CU decision algorithm in recursive quad-tree structure. The proposed algorithm estimates initial CU size before CTU encoding and checks the proposed condition using Coded Block Flag(CBF) and Rate-distortion cost to achieve the fast encoding time saving. And, intra mode estimation is also possible to be skipped using the CBF values acquired during the inter PU mode estimations. Experiment results shows that the proposed algorithm saved about 49.91% and 37.97% of encoding time according to the weighting condition.

Recent development in wireless communication technology and mobile equipment like PDA, cellular phone and GPS makes location-based services (LBSs) popular. However, because, in the LBSs, users continuously request a query to LBS servers by using their exact locations, privacy information could be in danger. Therefore, a mechanism for users' privacy protection is required for the safe and comfortable use of LBSs by mobile users. For this, this paper propose a grid-based cloaking area creation scheme supporting continuous LBSs. The proposed scheme creates a cloaking area rapidly by using grid-based cell expansion to efficiently support the continuous LBSs. In addition, to generate a cloaking area which makes the exposure probability of a mobile user to a minimum, we compute a privacy protection degree by granting weights to mobile users. Finally, we show from a performance analysis that our cloaking scheme outperforms the existing cloaking schemes, in terms of service time, privacy protection degree.

The new MPEG-4 video coding standard enables content-based functionalities. Image segmentation is an indispensable process for it. This paper addresses an effective segmentation of non-rigid objects. Non-rigid objects are deformable objects with fuzzy, blurred and indefinite boundaries. So it is difficult to segment deformable objects precisely. In order to solve this problem, we propose an effective segmentation of non-rigid objects using watershed algorithms in still pictures. And we propose an automatic segmentation through intra-frame and inter-frame segmentation process in video sequences. Automatic segmentation preforms boundary-based and region-based segmentation to extract precise object boundaries.

In this paper, a method for the recognition of dynamic hand gestures in various backgrounds using Dynamic Space Time Warping(DSTW) algorithm is proposed. The existing method using DSTW algorithm compares multiple candidate hand regions detected from every frame of the query sequence with the model sequences in terms of the time. However the existing method can not exactly recognize the models because a false path can be generated from the candidates including not-hand regions such as background, elbow, and so on. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, we use the invariant moments extracted from the candidate regions of hand and compare the similarity of invariant moments among candidate regions. The similarity is utilized as a weight and the corresponding value is applied to the matching cost between the model sequence and the query sequence. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method can recognize the dynamic hand gestures in the various backgrounds. Moreover, the recognition rate has been improved by 13%, compared with the existing method.

QoS in the proxy system are under heavy influence from interferences such as congestion, latency, and retransmission. Also, multi-level streaming services affects from temporal synchronization, which lead to degrade the service quality. This paper proposes a new segment-based buffer management mechanism which reduces performance degradation of streaming services and enhances throughput of streaming due to drawbacks of the proxy system. The proposed paper optimizes streaming services by: 1) Use of segment-based buffer management mechanism, 2) Minimization of overhead due to congestion and interference, and 3) Minimization of retransmission due to disconnection and delay. This paper utilizes fuzzy value $\mu$ and cost weight $\omega$ to process the result. The simulation result shows that the proposed mechanism has better performance in buffer cache control rate, average packet loss rate, and delay saving rate with stream relevance metric than the other existing methods of fixed segmentation method, pyramid segmentation method, and skyscraper segmentation method.

A non-decimation second-order spatial moving average (SMA) discrete-time (DT) filter is proposed with reconfigurable null frequencies. The filter coefficients are changeable, and it can be controlled by switching sampling capacitors. So, interferers can be rejected effectively by flexible nulls. Since it operates without decimation, it does not change the sample rate and aliasing problem can be avoided. The filter is designed with variable weight of coefficients as $1:{\alpha}:1$ where ${\alpha}$ varies from 1 to 2. This corresponds to the change of null frequencies within the range of fs/3~fs/2 and fs/2~2fs/3. The proposed filter is implemented in the TSMC 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation shows that null frequencies are changeable in the range of 0.38~0.49fs and 0.51~0.62fs.

The existing researches related to the fog have focused on mainly the fog itself and its spatial variation. This study defined the hazardous fog as the fog with visibility under 500 m which caused the severe dangerous situation on roads and might cause traffic accident due to insufficient visibility. This study aimed to develop the hazardous fog index which quantified the degree of danger and included frequency of fog, visibility and its duration. We applied the index to 3 years weather station data in Korea and the results showed the distribution of the hazardous fog and their priority in terms of safety management. This was the first study that introduced the fog index in Korea and that quantified the degree of hazardous fog. These application results were useful for identifying the dangerous area due to hazardous fog and contributing to ensure the safety of eventual road users and road authorities.

To solve the frequency variation of speech patterns which consist of LPC sequences, new membership function view from LPC, spectrum and the relations between the order of LPC and spectrum is proposed. To solve the time variation, multi-secation equi-segmentation method which equally divide the speech section into several section are applied. False recognition mainly occur at time when the same syllable is placed at the same utterance. To reduce the error, fuzzy inference is executed using the proposed membership function and weights are assigned into sectional certainty and then the decision method for recognized the section up to the third candidate. To testify the validation of this method, we experimented the recognition test of 28 DDD area names. The recognition rate of the fuzzy inference by the triangle membership function is $92\%$. That of the combined method of the fuzzy inference and the dicision method is $92.9\%$ and that of fuzzy inference by the proposed membership funtion is $93.8\%$.
