In the next generation mobile communications, powerful channel coding is essential in order to obtain high quality multimedia services. Turbo code can achieve good error performance by iterative decoding, but more iterations result in additional computational complexity and delay. Thus, a method to reduce the number of iterations without additional performance degradation is needed. Turbo code with CRC is known to be the most efficient method to reduce the number of iterations. In this scheme, the performance may be degraded by the edge-effect like the conventional turbo code without CRC. In this paper, a method to eliminate the edge-effect is proposed by adopting D-parameter to the conventional s-random interleaver. As results of simulation, the edge-effect of the turbo code with CRC is shown to be successfully eliminated by using the new interleaver designed with D-parameter.

A real-time frame-layer rate control algorithm with a token bucket traffic shaper is proposed for low bit rate video coding. The proposed rate control method uses a non-iterative optimization method for low computational complexity, and performs bit allocation at the frame level to minimize the average distortion over an entire sequence as well as variations in distortion between frames. In order to reduce the quality fluctuation, we use a sliding window scheme which does not require the pre-analysis process. Therefore, the proposed algorithm does not produce time delay from encoding, and is suitable for real-time low-complexity video encoder. Experimental results indicate that the proposed control method provides better visual and PSNR performances than the existing rate control method.

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a revolutionary new type of user-programmable integrated circuits that provide fast, inexpensive access to customized VLSI. However, as the target application speed increases, power-consumption and wire-delay on interconnection become more critical factors during programming an FPGA. Especially, the interconnection of the FPGA consumes 65% of the total FPGA power consumption. A previous research show that if the length of interconnection is shirked, power-consumption can be reduced because an interconnection has a lot of effect on power-consumption. For solving this problem that reducing the number of wires routed, the three dimension FPGA is proposed. However, this structure physical wires and an area of switches is increased by making topology complex. This paper propose a novel FPGA architecture that modifies the three dimension FPGA and compare the number of interconnection of Virtex II and 3D FPGA with the proposed FPGA architecture using the FPGA Editor of Xilinx ISE and a global routing and length estimation program.

DVC(Distributed Video Coding) techniques have been attracting a lot of research works since these enable us to implement the light-weight video encoder and to provide good coding efficiency by introducing the feedback channel. However, the feedback channel causes the decoder to increase the decoding complexity and requires very high decoding latency because of numerous iterative decoding processes. So, in order to reduce the decoding delay and then to implement in a real-time environment, this paper proposes several parity bit estimation methods which are based on the temporal correlation, spatial correlation and spatio-temporal correlations between LDPCA frames on each bit plane in the consecutive video frames in pixel-domain Wyner-Ziv video coding scheme and then the performances of these methods are compared in fast DVC scheme. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the adaptive spatio-temporal correlation-based estimation method and the temporal correlation-based estimation method outperform others for the video frames with the highly active contents and the low active contents, respectively. By using these results, the proposed estimation schemes will be able to be effectively used in a variety of different applications.

OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) server which checks the certificate status provides the real time status verification in the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) system which is the essential system of certificate. However, OCSP server need the message authentication with the server and client, so it has some shortcomings that has slow response time for the demands of many clients concurrently and has complexity of the mathematical process in the public encryption system. In this research, simulation model of the certificate status vertification server is constructed of the DEVS (Discrete EVent system Specification) formalism. This sever model is constructed to practice the authentication with hash function when certificate is checked. Simulation results shows the results of increase of the certificate status verification speed and decrease of the response time to the client.

Recently, GPGPU has been widely used for general-purpose processing as well as graphics processing by providing optimized hardware for parallel processing. Memory system has big effects on the performance of parallel processing units such as GPU. In the GPU, hierarchical memory architecture is implemented for high memory bandwidth. Moreover, both memory address coalescing and memory request merging techniques are widely used. This paper analyzes the GPU performance according to various memory organizations. According to our simulation results, GPU performance improves by 15.5%, 21.5%, 25.5%, 30.9% as adding 8KB L1, 16KB L1, 32KB L1, 64KB L1 cache, respectively, compared to case without L1 cache. However, experimental results show that some benchmarks decrease performance since memory transaction increases due to data dependency. Moreover, average memory access latency is increased as the depth of hierarchical cache level increases when cache miss occurs significantly.

H.264/AVC provides better quality than other algorithms by using a deblocking filter to remove blocking distortion on block boundary of the decoded picture. However, this filtering process includes lots of memory accesses, which cause delay of overall decoding time. In this paper, we propose a data-reuse algorithm to speed up the process for the deblocking filter. To reuse the data, a new filtering order is suggested. By using this order, we reduce the memory access and accelerate the deblocking filter. The modeling of proposed algorithm is compiled under ARM ADS1.2 and simulated with Armulator. The results of the experiment compared with H.264/AVC standard are achieved on average 58.45% and 57.93% performance improvements at execution cycles and memory access cycles, respectively.

This paper presents a memristor-CMOS based RBSD adder. Conventional RBSD adders suffer bigger hardware due to the extra logic handling larger number of bits. The purpose of this paper is to improve the silicon surface area and the computation delay of conventional RBSD adders. The proposed method employs memristor-CMOS based circuit. The implementation results shows that the proposed memristor-CMOS based RBSD adder saves the cell area by 45%, and reduces time delay 24% compared to conventional RBSD adders. The proposed RBSD adder design can bring further area saving for large scale designs.

In an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) system, the sampling frequency offset between the transmitter and receiver is known to cause the interchannel interference (ICI), resulting in performance degradation. In this paper, we propose two time-domain techniques to estimate the sampling frequency offset, especially for a high data-rate OFDM system. The first technique estimates the sampling frequency offset by using the phase difference between two received samples with a fixed amount of time interval, corresponding to the transmitted training symbol, under the assumption of perfect symbol and carrier offset synchronization. The second technique estimates the sampling frequency offset and carrier frequency offset jointly, when the two offsets exist together, by using two training symbols with different frequency components and using a sample algebraic calculation. The proposed estimation techniques for sampling frequency offset cause no time delay due to all time-domain processing, and have a good performance due to no ICI effect. The performances of the proposed techniques are demonstrated by various simulations.

In this paper, we proposed the new structure of the Rake Finger using Walsh Switch, the shared accumulator, and the pipeline-FWHT algorithm for reducing the signal processing complexity resulting from the increase of the number of data correlator. The function simulation of the proposed architecture is performed by Synopsys tool and the timing simulation is performed by Compass tool. The number of computational operation in the proposed data correlators is 160 additions and the conventional ones is 512 additions when the number of walsh code N=4. As a result, it is reduced about 3.2 times other than the number of computational operation of the conventional ones. Also, the result shows that the data processing time of the proposed Rake Finger architecture is 90,496[ns] and the conventional ones is 110,696[ns]. It is $18.3\%$ faster than the data processing time of the conventional Rake Finger architecture.
