이동멀티미디어 방송 서비스의 국내 표준인 디지털 멀티미디어 방송(DMB) 시스템에서 대화형 컨텐츠는 MPEG-4 씬 디스크립션 정보에 의해서 이루어진다. 따라서 사용자 상호작용이 풍부한 컨텐츠일수록 씬 디스크립션이 전송되기 위해서 요구되는 비트레이트도 높아진다. 그러나 이동 단말에 고품질의 멀티미디어 데이터를 전송하는 지상파 DMB 환경에서는 씬 디스크립션과 같은 부가 데이터의 전송율을 매우 제한적이다. 그러므로 오디오나 비디오 데이터뿐만 아니라 씬 디스크립션 정보도 저대역폭 및 이동 단말을 대상으로 유효한 품질을 보장할 수 있는 형태로 인코딩되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 컨텐츠를 전송하기 전에 인코딩된 MPEG-4 씬 디스크립션 정보를 파악하여 전송시점에 예상되는 비트율에 최적화되도록 재구성함으로써 씬 디스크립션 정보의 전송지연 및 손실을 최소화하는 방안의 연구 내용물 제안하고 실험결과를 소개한다.

Recently Technology regarding VoIP (Voice over IP) is emerging over the market of the IP network. So far nothing is unfortunately there any attempt to try any research with respect to the development of the protocol stack relating to such control of gateway as MGCP, MEGACO, SIP, SDP. The reasons come from the low level of infrastructue, the shortage of the time and technology required at the moment, and so on. In this regards, this paper is focused on developing a protocol stack made with encoder/decoder, the generator of the header file etc, based on the protocol grammars of MGCP, SDP supported by IETF. For the sake of it, first develops the syntax analyzer, encoder/decoder, header file generator for encoding/decoding as applying the method of syntax-directed to each protocol grammar.

본 논문은 연속된 음성 신호를 전송로 상에 전송하기 위해 음성 신호를 G.711 표준 권고인 PCM으로 다중화한 후 고정 타임슬롯을 배정하여 전송하는 시스템에서 PCM 화된 디지털 음성 데이터를 실시간으로 암호화하여 전송하는 스트림 암호화 기법에 관한 것이다. 실시간으로 처리되는 음성 데이터의 암호화 시에는 하드웨어 방식이 적합한 데, 본 논문에서는 고정 타임슬롯을 배정받는 음성 데이터의 실시간 암호화 기법에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 아날로그 음성 신호 코딩 시에 국내에서는 북미 방식인 ${\mu}-law$ 코딩 기법을 적용하는 데 이는 표본화한 음성 데이터를 양자화전에 압축하고 복호화 후 신장하는 비선형 양자화 기법을 적용하는 것으로 표본화된 값을 8 비트의 PCM 데이터로 변화하여 E1(2.048Mbps) 급 속도로 전송한다. 본 논문에서는 PCM 전송로 상에 전송되기 전의 직렬 입력 데이터를 암호화 장치를 거쳐 해당 타임슬롯에 해당하는 8 비트의 데이터를 실시간으로 암호화하여 전송로 상으로 전송하고 역으로 수신 단에서는 PCM 전송로를 거친 직렬 입력 데이터를 암호화된 타임슬롯을 판별하여 해당 타임슬롯의 데이터를 복호화하여 원래 데이터를 복원한다. 본 논문에서는 고정 타임슬롯을 배정받은 PCM 데이터를 암호화하여 전송한 후 수신 단에서 복호화 과정을 거친 후 타임슬롯 단위로 데이터 암호화/복호화가 가능함을 보여준다.

Most of the existing game-based education programmes for lower grades are simple block-coding studies, and there is a lack of examples of programming-intensive classes. In this study, we implemented a Minecraft-based Python coding fundamentals class for 3 classes at a local elementary school during a 2-week school holiday. The learning programme was reorganised from the standard learning programme on the official website, such as building quests through LAN-PARTY and self-scripting in-game, to improve class interest and motivation. In addition, we analysed the satisfaction and preferences of the class topics through a survey, and obtained meaningful results for future educational program development. This study is significant as a basic research for the design and development of game-based educational programmes for all age groups.

In this paper, we propose a fast and dynamic Region-of-Interest coding method using the adaptive code-block discrimination algorithm in JPEG2000 images which complements the implicit ROI coding method and the modified implicit ROI coding method. For reducing the time of discriminating the code block, the proposed method estimates the characteristics of the shape of ROI and makes the shape of boundaries, and classifies the patterns of each code block. The method improves the preferred processing and loss of wavelet coefficients of background within the ROI code blocks by adaptively classifying the code blocks with the percentage of content of the wavelet coefficients using the thresholds of ROI and background. Also, the priority control of wavelet coefficients of background within ROI code block supports the rapid ROI coding by processing in batch based on patterns unlike the existing methods that process with unit of wavelet coefficients. To show the usefulness of this method, we compared this to the existing methods. There is no difference in performance, but we confirmed very speedy in processing time.

The necessity of transmitting video data over a narrow-bandwidth exists steadily despite that video service over broadband is common. In this paper, we propose a scalable video coding framework for low-resolution video transmission over a very narrow-bandwidth network by super-resolution of decoded frames of a base layer using a convolutional neural network based super resolution technique to improve the coding efficiency by using it as a prediction for the enhancement layer. In contrast to the conventional scalable high efficiency video coding (SHVC) standard, in which upscaling is performed with a fixed filter, we propose a scalable video coding framework that replaces the existing fixed up-scaling filter by using the trained convolutional neural network for super-resolution. For this, we proposed a neural network structure with skip connection and residual learning technique and trained it according to the application scenario of the video coding framework. For the application scenario where a video whose resolution is $352{\times}288$ and frame rate is 8fps is encoded at 110kbps, the quality of the proposed scalable video coding framework is higher than that of the SHVC framework.

Visible light communication (VLC) is a method of transmitting data through LED blinking and is vulnerable to eavesdropping because the illumination affects the wide range of area. IEEE standard 802.15.7 defines On-Off Keying (OOK), Variable Pulse Position Modulation (VPPM), and Color Shift Keying (CSK) as modulation. In this paper, we propose an encryption method in VPPM for secure communication. The VPPM uses an encoding method called 4B6B where 16 different outputs are represented with 6-bit. This paper extends the number of outputs to 20, to add complexity while not violating the 4B6B generation conditions. Then each entry in the extended 4B6B table is scrambled using vigenère cipher. The probability of decrypting each 6-bit data is $\frac{1}{20}$. Eavesdropper should perform $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}20^k$ number of different trials to decrypt the message if the number of keys is n. The proposed method can be applied to OOK of PHY II and CSK of PHY III. We further discuss the secure encoding that can be used in OOK and CSK without performance degradation.

H.264/AVC에서는 율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 사용하여 부호화 성능을 이전 보다 대폭 향상시켰다. 율-왜곡 최적화 기법은 선택할 수 있는 모든 코딩 모드들의 비용을 계산한 후, 최소의 비용을 가진 모드를 선택하여 부호화를 한다. 따라서 코딩 모드들이 많아질수록 복잡도 역시 증가하며, 기존 표준보다 다양한 코딩모드를 지원하는 H.264에서는 복잡도가 더 많이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 SAHTD(Sum of Absolute Hadamard Transform Difference)를 이용하여 화면 내 모드 결정부에서 빠른 화면내 모드 결정을 하면서도 압축 손실이 적게 발생하는 방법을 제시하였다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$블록, 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$블록, 색차 신호 $8{\times}8$블록 모두 SAHTD를 기준으로 최적의 모드가 결정된다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$블록에서 SAHTD값에 따라 $4{\times}4$블록 부호화 과정을 조기 종결이 가능하게 하는 것과, 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$에서는 SAHTD 값이 가장 낮은 3개의 모드와 MPM(Most Probable Mode)을 후보 모드로 선택하여 율-왜곡 최적화를 수행하는 방식이 사용되었다. MPM이 SAHTD값이 가장 낮을 경우 MPM이 휘도신호 $4{\times}4$블록의 최적의 모드로 선택되고 종료된다. JM 참조 소프트웨어를 통한 실험결과 제안된 기법은 기존 JM의 방식에 비해 화면 내 프레임의 부호화 시간의 84.7% 감소와 0.049dB의 PSNR 감소율, 0.595%의 비트 증가율을 보여주었다.

Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are the most widely used error correcting codes in digital communications and data storage. Recently, Sudan found algorithm of list decoder for RS codes. List decoder has larger decoding radius than conventional hard-decision decoding algorithms and return more than one candidate polynomial. But, the algorithm includes interpolation and factorization step that demand massive computations. In this paper, an efficient architecture and processing schedule are proposed. The architecture consists of R-MAC, memories, and control unit. The R-MAC computes both of RC and PU steps that are main part of the factorization algorithm. The proposed architecture can achieve higher hardware utilization efficiency (HUE) and throughput by using efficient processing schedule and memory architecture. Also, the architecture can be designed flexibly with scalability for various applications. We design and synthesize our architecture using Dongbu-Anam $0.18{\mu}m$ standard cell library and the maximum clock frequency is 330MHz.

This paper proposes an efficient binary arithmetic encoder hardware architecture for CABAC encoding, which is an entropy coding method of HEVC. CABAC is an entropy coding method that is used in HEVC standard. Entropy coding removes statistical redundancy and supports a high compression ratio of images. However, the binary arithmetic encoder causes a delay in real time processing and parallel processing is difficult because of the high dependency between data. The operation of the proposed CABAC BAE hardware structure is to separate the renormalization and process the conventional iterative algorithm in parallel. The new scheme was designed as a four-stage pipeline structure that can reduce critical path optimally. The proposed CABAC BAE hardware architecture was designed with Verilog HDL and implemented in 65nm technology. Its gate count is 8.07K and maximum operating speed of 769MHz. It processes the four bin per clock cycle. Maximum processing speed increased by 26% from existing hardware architectures.
