This paper introduces a new efficient design scheme for spatial multiplexing (SM) systems over closed loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels. Extending the orthogonalized spatial multiplexing (OSM) scheme which was developed recently for transmitting two data streams, we propose a new SM scheme where a larger number of data streams can be supported. To achieve this goal, we partition the data streams into several subblocks and execute the block-diagonalization process at the receiver. The proposed scheme still guarantees single-symbol maximum likelihood (ML) detection with small feedback information. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme achieves a huge performance gain at a bit error rate (BER) of $10^{-4}$ over conventional closed-loop schemes based on minimum mean-square error (MSE) or bit error rate (BER) criterion. We also show that an additional 2.5dB gain can be obtained by optimizing the group selection with extra feedback information.

In this paper, we propose a novel low-complexity Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme for asynchronous cooperative communications. Exploiting the combination of OFDM symbols at the source node and simple operations including sign change and complex product at the relay node, the proposed scheme can achieve cooperative diversity gain without use of time-reversion and shifting operations that the conventional scheme proposed by Li and Xia needs. In addition, by using the cyclic prefix (CP) removal and insertion operations at the relay node, the proposed scheme does not suffer from a considerable degradation of bit-error-rate (BER) performance even though perfect timing synchronization is not achieved at the relay node. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the BER performance of the proposed scheme is much superior to that of the conventional scheme in the presence of timing synchronization error at the relay node. It is also shown that the proposed scheme obtains two times higher diversity gain compared with the conventional scheme at the cost of half reduction in transmission efficiency.

In this paper, we propose an efficient soft-output signal detection method for spatially multiplexed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. The proposed method is based on the ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) algorithm, but it significantly improves the performance of the original OSIC algorithm by solving the error propagation problem. The proposed method combines this enhanced OSIC (ESIC) algorithm with a multiple ordering technique in a very efficient way. As a result, the log likelihood ratio (LLR) values can be computed by using a very small set of candidate symbol vectors. The proposed method has been implemented with a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology for a $4{\times}4$ 16-QAM MIMO system. The simulation and implementation results show that the proposed detector provides a very good solution in terms of performance and hardware complexity.

In this paper, we derive some properties of linear detectors (zero forcing or minimum mean square error) at spatial multiplexing systems with alamouti's space-time block code. Based on the derived properies, this paper proposes low-complexity receivers. Implementing MMSE detector adaptively, the number of weight vectors to be calculated and updated is greatly reduced with the derived properties compared to the conventional methods. In the case of recursive least square algorithm, with the proposed approach computational complexity is reduced to less than the half. We also identify that sorted QR decomposition detector, which reduces the complexity of V-Blast detector, has the same properties for unitary matrix Q and upper triangular matrix R. A complexity reduction of about 50%, for sorted QR decomposition detector, can be achieved by using those properties without the loss of performance.

In this paper we propose a coordinated beamforming(CBF) scheme considering the effects of feedback quantization and delay in time-varying multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) broadcast channels. By equal power allocation per data stream, the proposed CBF scheme transmits multiple data streams per user terminals without additional feedback overhead when quantized feedback information is used. The proposed CBF scheme also applies a linear channel predictor to each user terminals to prevent errors due to feedback delays that are not evitable in practical wireless systems. Each user terminal utilizes Wiener filter to predict future channel responses and generates feedback information based on the predicted channels. Consequently the proposed CBF scheme adapting Wiener filter improves system performances compared with the conventional scheme using delayed feedback.

In a cooperative communication system with a source node and multiple relays equipping single antenna and a destination node equipping multiple antennas, the selective cooperative spatial multiplexing scheme can obtain spatial multiplexing gain and additional selection diversity gain. But it can degrade a bit error rate performance because some received symbols forwarded from particular relays may be lost by attenuation due to path-loss. We propose a relay and transmission mode selection scheme which selects minimum number of multiple relays having the channel capacity larger than a given data rate and transmission mode which switches spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity mode in cooperation phase to enhance the bit error rate performance. The proposed scheme achieves 1.5~2dB gain at the low SNR range compared with the conventional scheme by obtaining additional spatial diversity gain.

무손실 이미지 압축은 (Lossless Image Compression)은 손실이미지 압축(Lossy Image Compression)에 비해, 압축률(compression ratio)은 떨어지지만, 반면 원이미지와 복원이미지가 완전히 일치하므로, 원인이미지의 품질을 그대로 유지학 수 있다. 따라서, 이미지의 품질(Quality)과 압축효율(compression ratio)은 서로 상반된 관계에 있으며, 지금도 좀 더 놀은 압축효과를 얻으려는 여러 무손실 압축 방법이 발표되고 있다. 무손실 이미지 압축은 이미지의 정확성과 정밀성이 요구되는, 의료영양분야에서 가장 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 그밖에, 원본이미지를 기본으로 다른 이미지프로세싱이 필요한 경우, 압축 복원을 반복적으로 수행할 필요가 있을 때, 기타 사진 예술분야, 원격 영상 등 정밀성이 요구되는 분양에서 쓰이고 있다. [7]. 무손실 이미지 압축의 가장 대표적인 CALIC[3]과 JPEG_LS[2]를 들 수 있다. CALIC은 비교적 높은 압축률을 나타내지만, 3-PASS의 과정을 거치는 복잡도가 지적되고 있다. 반면 JPEG-LS는 압축률은 CALIC에 미치지 못하지만 빠른 코딩/디코딩 속도를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 여거 가지의 예측 모드를 두어, 블록단위별로 주변 CONTEXT에 따라, 최상의 예측 모드를 판단하여, 이를 적용, 픽셀의 여러 값을 최소화하였다. 그 후 적응산술 부호기(Adaptive arithmetc coder)를 이용하여, 인코딩을 하였다. 이때 최대 에러값은 64를 넘지 않게 했으며, 또한 8*8블록별로 에러의 최대값을 측정하여 그 값을 $0\~7$까지의 8개의 대표값으로 양자화하는 방법을 통하여 그에 따라 8개의 보호화 심볼 모델중 알맞은 모델에 적용하였다. 이를 통해, 그 소화값의 확률 구간을 대폭 넓힘으로써, 에러 이미지가 가지고 있는 엔트로피에 좀 근접하게 코딩을 할 수 있게 되었다. 이 방법은 실제로 Arithmetic Coder를 이용하는 다른 압축 방법에 그리고 적용할 수 있다. 실험 결과 압축효율은 JPEG-LS보다 약 $5\%$의 압축 성능 개선이 있었으며, CALIC과는 대등한 압축률을 보이며, 부호화/복호화 속도는 CALIC보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In conventional video coding, the complexity of encoder is much higher than that of decoder. However, as more needs arises for extremely simple encoder in environments having constrained energy such as sensor network, much investigation has been carried out for eliminating motion prediction/compensation claiming most complexity and energy in encoder. The Wyner-Ziv coding, one of the representative schemes for the problem, reconstructs video at decoder by correcting noise on side information using channel coding technique such as turbo code. Since the encoder generates only parity bits without performing any type of processes extracting correlation information between frames, it has an extremely simple structure. However, turbo decoding errors occur in noisy side information. When there are high-motion or occlusion between frames, more turbo decoding errors appear in reconstructed frame and look like Salt & Pepper noise. This severely deteriorates subjective video quality even though such noise rarely occurs. In this paper, we propose a computationally extremely light encoder based on symbol-level Wyner-Ziv coding technique and a new corresponding decoder which, based on a decision whether a pixel has error or not, applies median filter selectively in order to minimize loss of texture detail from filtering. The proposed method claims extremely low encoder complexity and shows improvements both in subjective quality and PSNR. Our experiments have verified average PSNR gain of up to 0.8dB.

The methylation score, expressed as a percentage of the methylation status data derived from the iterative sequencing process, has a value between 0 and 1. It is contrary to the assumption of normal distribution that simply applying the t-test to examine the difference in population-specific methylation scores in these data. In addition, since the result may vary depending on the number of repetitions of sequencing in the process of methylation score generation, a method that can analyze such errors is also necessary. In this paper, we introduce the symbolic data analysis and the interval K-S test method which convert observation data into interval data including uncertainty rather than one numerical data. In addition, it is possible to analyze the characteristics of methylation score by using Beta distribution without using normal distribution in the process of converting into interval data. For the data analysis, the nature of the proposed method was examined using sequencing data of actual patients and normal persons. While the t-test is only possible for the location test, it is found that the interval type K-S statistic can be used to test not only the location parameter but also the heterogeneity of the distribution function.
