IEEE 802.11n supports two frame aggregation schemes, aggregation for MAC service data unit (A-MSDU) and aggregation for MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU), to improve throughput at the MAC layer. In this paper, we propose a cooperative frame aggregation (CoFA), which can recover erroneous frames in a cooperative manner based on A-MPDU. Specifically, CoFA receive multiple frames from direct and relay paths, and combined multiple frames jointly. Numerical results show that CoFA outperforms direct transmission and relay transmission over diverse channel conditions.

High performance net재rking is one of key factors to provide support for data intensive applications in the Internet. Extended frame size has a major impact on end to-end performance with increasing effective TCP throughput and decreasing system overhead. Most of the research about extended frames has focused on local area network performance and the impact that extended frame size has on the system elements including memory, network interface card and so forth. In the paper, we analyse the effects of the extended frames to the other traffic flows sharing Internet paths for the wide area performance of TCP by conducting various network simulations. Results show that securing available bandwidth in no loss and low delay networks is indispensable to exploit the efficiency of extended frames.

H.264에서 다중참조 프레임을 사용한 움직임 예측 방법은 단일 참조프레임을 이용한 움직임 예측보다 더 많은 시간적 중복성을 제거하여 부호화 효율을 높이거나 채널에러에 강인하게 부호화하기 위해 사용된다. 하지만 다중 참조 프레임을 이용하여 움직임 예측을 하는 것은 단일의 참조 프레임을 이용하는 것보다 많은 계산량을 요구하기 때문에 비디오 인코더의 복잡도를 증가시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 다중참조 프레임을 사용한 움직임 예측을 화질 열화 없이 적은 복잡도로서 가능하게 하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 움직임 예측 절차의 복잡도를 줄이기 위해, 제안한 알고리즘에서는 연속되는 프레임 사이에 구성된 움직임 벡터맵을 이용하여 움직임벡터를 추정한다. 제안한 방식은 추정된 움직임벡터를 작은 탐색영역에서 보정하는 방식을 적용하기 때문에 기존의 방식들에 비해 적은 복잡도가 요구된다. 제안된 방법으로 추정된 움직임벡터는 각 참조프레임들에 대해 최적의 움직임 벡터를 효과적으로 추적하기 때문에 부호화 된 영상의 화질은 전 탐색영역 움직임 예측 알고리즘을 이용한 결과와 매우 비슷하다. 제안된 방식은 세가지 단계로 구성된다. (a) 연속되는 두 개의 프레임 사이에 벡터맵을 구성한다. (b) 벡터맵에 있는 요소벡터를 이용하여 시간적 움직임 벡터를 구성한다. (c) 마지막으로, 임시 움직임 벡터를 좁은 탐색영역에서 보정한다. 컴퓨터 실험을 통해 제안된 방식의 효율성을 입증하였다. 제안된 방식과 기존의 방식들과의 비교를 위해 H.264 부호화기에서 움직임 예측 모듈에 의해 소비된 CPU 시간을 측정하였다. 컴퓨터 실험을 통해 알 수 있듯이 제안된 방식에 의해 부호화된 영상의 화질은 기존 방식과 을 통해 얻은 영상화질과 거의 같으면서 알고리즘 복잡도는 크게 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있다.

This paper proposes a dynamic gesture recognition algorithm using SVM(Support Vector Machine) which is suitable for multi-dimension classification. First of all, the proposed algorithm locates the beginning and end of the gestures on the video frames at the Kinect camera, spots meaningful gesture frames, and normalizes the number of frames. Then, for gesture recognition, the algorithm extracts gesture features using body parts' positions and relations among the parts based on the human model from the normalized frames. C-SVM for each dynamic gesture is trained using training data which consists of positive data and negative data. The final gesture is chosen with the largest value of C-SVM values. The proposed gesture recognition algorithm can be applied to the interactive storybook as gesture interface.

This study is to evaluate the thermal insulation of the curtain wall of the buildings constructed since the 1990s to the buildings currently under construction in 2011 and to provide the basic data for repairing and reinforcing and designing the thermal insulation. To this effect, the temperature difference by part was analyzed through measuring the inside and outside surface temperature of the curtain wall of the office building, and thereafter, the conditions of the thermal insulation and the thermal bridge part were examined. The result of the study is as follows; Not only in the winter season when the temperature difference between the indoor-outdoor is over $20^{\circ}C$, but also in the summer season when there is a small temperature difference, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the frame is $2^{\circ}C{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ equally. Under such conditions as stated above, the thermal bridge occurred, which resulted from the heat flow of the steel frame part (mullion, transom), and therefore, the reinforcement of the thermal insulation is considered to be needed.

In this paper, a concatenated frame algorighm for improving transmission efficiency in WiMedia protocol is studied. And an efficient transmission scheme to reduce the degradation of network performance by the loss of mini-frame is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme can reduce total energy consumption and improve the transmission efficiency since it only retransmits mini-frame in which error is occurred. The simulation results show that proposed protocol can enhance the throughput performance and improve energy efficiency by minimizing the retransmission of mini-frame.

This paper presents an integrated receiver to support multimode broadcasting standards such as DVB-T2, DVB-C2, and DVB-S2 in a single platform. The integrated receiver consists of a tuner block, a receiver engine, a frame processor, and an A/V decoder. The receiver engine includes a channel decoding engine and a demodulation engine to perform OFDM and APSK demodulations. The frame processor performs deinterleaving and BB frame decoding functions. The demodulator engine and the frame processor are implemented in two FPGA devices and DSP-based embedded software, respectively. To verify the functionality of the integrated receiver, it is tested in the laboratory. Commercial PC-based modulators are used to generate the DVB-T2, DVB-C2, and DVB-S2 modulated signals. The integrated receiver was tested under various operation modes as specified in the standards such as DVB-T2, DVB-C2, and DVB-S2 and showed successful operation in all the scenarios tested.

Conventional aseismic design methods of R/C frame all but disregard the state of damage over the entire building frame. This paper presents an automated damage-controlled design method for R/C frames which aims at an uniform energy dissipation rate throughout the building frame, so that the resulting damage is uniformly distributed as much as possible over all element. The accuracy of the basic hystertic model and the damage model for R/C members is verified by reproducing the experimental load-deformation curves of one-bay one-story frames. Application of this design method to various frame structures indicate that 1) regardless of the structural properties or input earthquake characteristics, damage-controlled frames generally survive more severe earthquake excitations and suffer less damage than conventionally designed frames, and 2) member yielding strength in the lower stories of damage-controlled frames is larger than that for conventionally designed frames, while the trend is opposite in the upper stories.

This research analyzed the news coverage of controversy over Korean resumption of Wartime Operational Control from the United States in 2006, trying to find various narrative frames and their relevance to the characters of journalistic interpretive communities. Three competitive frames emerged: Self-national defense and peace making, Balance of self-national defense and the Korea-US alliance, and Priority of the Korea-U.S. alliance and national security. Journalistic discourses were also analyzed through the in-depth interviews of 14 journalists from three interpretive communities. The results revealed that competitions of narrative frames reflected the tensed relationship among political power blocs, each representing the liberal, moderate, or conservative camp of Korean society, and preference of journalistic practices such as objective journalism to advocacy journalism. Finally, inferences were made that the clashes among interpretive authorities, existing behind the competition of news frames, restrained public deliberations on a critical incident regarding national security by blocking up the reasoned news coverage of political controversy.

Motion compensated extrapolation (MCE) techniques show inferior performance compared to motion compensated interpolation techniques, since only past frames are used in MCE. MCE techniques are used for the reconstruction of corrupted frames, the up-conversion of frame rates and the generation of side information in the distributed video coding system. In this paper, the performance of various MCE techniques are evaluated and an efficient MCE technique using the forward and backward motion estimation is proposed. In the proposed technique, the present frame is extrapolated by averaging two frames which are generated by forward and backward motion estimation respectively. It is shown that the proposed method produces better PSNR results and less blocking phenomena than conventional methods.
