This paper presents NR (No Reference) Quality assessment method for IPTV or mobile IPTV. Because No Reference quality assessment method does not access the original signal so it is suitable for the real-time streaming service. Our proposed method use decoding parameters, such as quantization parameter, motion vector, and packet loss as a major network parameter. To evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm, we carried out subjective test of video quality with the ITU-T P.910 ACR (Absolute Category Rating) method and obtained the mean opinion score (MOS) value for QVGA 180 video sequence coded by H.264/AVC encoder. Experimental results show the proposed quality metric has a high correlation (84%) to subjective quality.

H.263 부호화 기법에 비해 H.263+에서의 주용 특징중 하나는 에러 강인성으로, 그중에서 계층부호화 모드는 한 개의 송신 영상에 대해서도 복호기와 전송로에 따라 여러 가지 화질의 재생 영상을 얻을 수 있는 기능, 즉 에러 및 패킷 손실 발생 가능 채널에서 비디오 정보 전송시 디코더측에서 사용 가능한 다양한 비트율, 해상도, 디스플레이 율을 허용함으로써 비디오 정보에 대한 전송을 향상시키는 기법이다. FEC(Forward Error Correction)기법에 의한 부가적인 비트 삽입에 제한적인 저 대역폭 네트워크 및 무선 통신망과 같은 네트워크 환경에서는 ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)망에서와 같인 계층부호화된 비트 스트림의 기본 계층에 대해 무손실 전송이 어려우므로, 고급계층과 동등한 채널을 통해 전송시 기본계층 및 고급계층 모두에 대해서는 에러가 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 저대역폭 비디오 전송을 위해 계층 부호화 모드중 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) 계층부호화로 부호화된 비트스트림을 에러 발생가능 채널로 전송시 각 계층에 대한 에러의 영향력을 실험한다.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with multiple transmit antennas can exploit space-time block coding on each subchannel for reliable data transmission. Spacetime coded OFDM systems, however, are very sensitive to time variant channels because the channels need to be static over multiple OFDM symbol periods. In this paper, we propose to mitigate the channel variations in the frequency domain using a linear filter in the frequency domain that exploits the sparse structure of the system matrix in the frequency domain. Our approach has reduced complexity compared with alternative approaches based on time domain block-linear filters. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed frequency domain block-linear filter reduces computational complexity by more than a factor of ten at the cost of small performance degradation, compared with a time domain block-linear filter.

MRC 다이버시티 수신 시스템에서 상호 독립적이고 동일한 전력을 갖는 동일 채널 간섭자들이 존재할 경우, Gray 부호화된 임의 직사각 QAM 신호의 성능을 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 L개의 수신안테나를 갖는 MRC 수신 다이버시티 시스템에서 N명의 서로 독립적이고 동일한 나카가미 분포를 갖는 동일 채널 간섭자들의 신호가 수신되는 경우의 폐쇄형 (closed-form) 평균 비트 오류 확률 수식을 유도하였다. 이 수식은 수치 계산에 의해 쉽게 계산되는 초기하 함수를 이용하여 표현되었다.

The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) regrowth after the clipping is one main disadvantage of space-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (SFBC-OFDM). In this paper, we propose a relay assisted low PAPR technique for SFBC-OFDM transmission. For low PAPR at the source (mobile equipment), the relay processes SFBC encoding, which enables the source to transmit clipped single-input single-output (SISO)-OFDM signals without any increase of PAPR. Simulation results show that the clipped signal of proposed scheme is effectively recovered, and the proposed scheme achieves the diversity of SFBC without the complexity of multiple antennas at the source.

This paper focuses on the problem of key-frames coding and proposes a new promising approach based on the use of fractals. The summary, made of a set of key-frames selected from a full-length video sequence, is coded by using a 3D fractal scheme. This allows the video presentation tool to expand the video sequence in a "natural" way by using the property of the fractals to reproduce the signal at several resolutions. This feature represents an important novelty of this work with respect to the alternative approaches, which mainly focus on the compression ratio without taking into account the presentation aspect of the video summary. In devising the coding scheme, we have taken care of the computational complexity inherent in fractal coding. Accordingly, the key-frames are first wavelet transformed, and the fractal coding is then applied to each subband to reduce the search range. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

One objective in developing the next generation of wireless communication systems is to increase data rates and reliability. A promising way to achieve this is to combine multiple-input and multiple-output signal processing with a space-time coding scheme, which offers higher coding and diversity gains and improves the spectrum efficiency and reliability of a wireless communication system. It is noted, however, that time delay differences and phase differences among different channels increase symbol interference and degrade system performance. In this letter, we investigate phase differences and their effects on multiple-input and multiple-output systems, and propose a compensation algorithm for the Rayleigh fading model to minimize their effects.

In this paper, we propose the efficient digital watermarking scheme to transmit effectively the compressed medical image that embedded with watermarking data in mobile Internet access channel. The wireless channel error based on multiple access interference (MAI) is closely related to the length of spreading sequence in CDMA system. Also, the fixed length coded medical image with watermark bit stream can be classified by significance of source image. In the simulation, we compare the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) performance when the watermarked image with a simple symbol and when the watermarked image with a text file is transmitted using variable length of spreading sequences in case of limited length of spread sequence.

In this paper, we propose a structure far lossless audio coding method. Prediction model is used in the wavelet transform domain. After DWT, wavelet coefficients is quantized and decorrelated by prediction modeling. The DWT can be constructed to critical bands. We can get a lower data rate representation of audio signal which has a good quality like the result of perceptual coding. Then the prediction errors are efficiently coded by the Golomb-coding method. The prediction coefficients are fixed for reducing the computational burden when we find prediction coefficients.

In this paper, we propose the noise suppressor with the psychoacoustic model and wavelet packet transform. The objective of the scheme is to enhance speech corrupted by colored or non-stationary noise. If corrupted noise is colored, subband approach would be more efficient than whole band one. To avoid serious residual noise and speech distortion, we must adjust the Wavelet Coefficient threshold. In this paper, the subband is designed matching with the critical band. And WCT is adapted by noise masking threshold(NMT) and segmental signal to noise ratio(seg_SNR). Consequently this work improve the PESQ-MOS about 0.23 in the case of coded speech.
