In this paper, we design and analyze performance of Exclusive-OR based FEC (Forward error correction) system to deploy SVC video transmission service over packet-loss prone IP network. In the designed system, we adopt standard compliant Exclusive-OR based FEC scheme and apply it to be appropriate to the hierarchical layer structure of SVC video. To verify the performance of the designed Exclusive-OR based FEC system for SVC video transmission, we employ NIST-NET based transport simulator. By the SVC video transmission using the NIST-NET based simulator, we confirm the error resilient transmission performance of the designed Exclusive-OR based FEC system.

Multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) in long-term evolution (LTE) is an essential factor in achieving high speed data rates and spectral efficiency. The unexpected growth in data rate demand has pushed researchers to extend the benefits of multi-user MIMO. The multi-user MIMO system can take full advantage of channel conditions by employing efficient adjustment techniques for scheduling, and by assigning different modulation and coding rates. However, one of the critical issues affecting this feature is the appropriate estimation of channel quality indicator (CQI) to manage the allocated resources to users. Therefore, an accurate CQI estimation scheme is required for the multi-user MIMO transmission to obtain significant improvements on spectral efficiency. This paper presents overviews of multi-user MIMO in LTE/LTE-advanced systems. The link adaptation, scheduling process, and different factors that affect the reliability of CQI measurements are discussed. State-of-the-art schemes for the post-processing CQI estimation, and the comparisons of various CQI estimation schemes to support multi-user MIMO are also addressed.

Recently, Due to the rapid growth of broadcasting communication and video coding technologies, the demands for immersive media contents based on 3D stereoscopic video will increase steadily. And the demands must ultimately provide the contents for users which are in wireless channel such as vehicle, train, and ship. Thus, in this paper, we transmit the 3D stereoscopic video over the maritime Rician channel that direct wave is more dominant than reflective wave. Besides, we present unequel error protection (UEP) by applying hierarchical 4/16-QAM to V+D(Video plus Depth) format which can represent 3D stereoscopic video. We expect our system to provide seamless broadcasting service for users with poor reception condition.

In this paper, we propose a new quasi-orthogonal space-time block code(QO-STBC) achieving full rate and full diversity for general QAM and quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels with four transmit antennas. This code possesses the quasi orthogonal property like the conventional minimum decoding complexity QO-STBC(MDC-QO-STBC), which allows independently a maximum likelihood(ML) decoding to only require joint detection of two real symbols. By computer simulation results, we show that the proposed code exhibits the identical BER performance with the existing MDC-QO-STBC. However, the proposed code has an advantage in the transceiver implementation since the original coding scheme may be modified so that increases of peak-to-average power ratio occur at only two transmit antennas, but the MDC-QO-STBC does at all of transmit antennas.

In recent years, the Internation Standard ISO/IEC 18000-6 is announced and a new scheme of Type C is added to conventional standard. Among the RFID systems the ISO/IEC 18000-6 standard is the most interesting to companies due to its potential market growth. The operating frequency is between 860-960 MHz, and three kinds of RFID system are included in the standard, i.e. type A, B and C. In this paper, we implemented the data frame of type C with baseband coding using VHDL. The data frame is encoded based on Miller code and FM0. We showed the implementation results with waveforms. The data frame was proved that it is properly implemented by the experiment of transmission and receiving operation.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST; E.C. 2.6.1.1), a vitamin B6-dependent enzyme, preferentially promotes the mutual transformation of aspartate and ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate to oxaloacetate and glutamate. It plays a key role in amino acid metabolism and has been widely recommended as a biomarker of liver and heart damage. Our study aimed to evaluate the extensive preparation of AST and its application in quality control in clinical laboratories. We describe a scheme to express and purify the 6His-AST fusion protein. An optimized sequence coding AST was synthesized and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain for protein expression. Ideally, the fusion protein has a volumetric productivity achieving 900 mg/l cultures. After affinity chromatography, the enzyme activity of purified AST reached 150,000 U/L. Commutability assessment between the engineered AST and standard AST from Roche suggested that the engineered AST was the better candidate for the reference material. Moreover, the AST showed high stability during long-term storage at $-20^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, the highly soluble 6His-tagged AST can become a convenient tool for supplying a much better and cheaper standard or reference material for the clinical laboratory.

There are some problems in directly applying the conventional MPEG bit-stream based watermarking schemes to the bit-stream of a new compression standard, H.264/AVC. In this paper we analyze the effects of the conventional DCT-based watermarking scheme to H.264/AVC, especially in terms of image distortions and bit-rate changes. It turns out that the intra-frame prediction md CAVLC of H.264/AVC with the watermarking worsen the image distortions and bit-rate changes. The experiment results show on average 28.17dB decrease in PSNR and 56.71% increase in bit-rate over all QPs.

In this paper, we propose an efficient cooperative diversity technique, which partition the codewords of each mobile and transmit portions of each codeword through independent fading channels using duo-binary turbo codes. A coded diversity technique can achieve high cooperative diversity gain by decoding and transmitting of the re-encoded signal, while this can also cause high performance degradation due to failure of the decoding. In this paper, we introduce various coded diversity technique using duo-binary turbo codes which are defined as channel coding schemes in the IEEE WiMax specification, and also demonstrate performance simulation results with the analysis. We also propose a cooperative diversity technique using rate-compatible duo-binary turbo codes, where user terminals with different parity symbols cooperate each other. Simulation results investigated in this paper reveal that the proposed scheme show high diversity gain at a reasonal SNR range.

In this paper, a Radix-8 structure for high-speed FFT is propose. Main block of the proposed FFT structure is Radix-8 DIF(Decimation In Frequency) butterfly. Even throughput of the Radix-8 FFT is twice than that of the Radix-4 FFT, implementation area of the Radix-8 is larger than that of Radix-4 FFT. But, implementation area of the proposed Radix-8 FFT was reduced by using DA(Distributed Arithmetic) for multiplication. For comparison, the 64-point FFT was implemented using conventional Radix-4 butterfly and proposed Radix-8 butterfly, respectively. The Verilog-HDL coding results for the proposed FFT structure show 49.2% cell area increment comparison with those of the conventional Radix-4 FFT structure. Namely, to speed up twice, 49.2% of area cost is required. In case of same throughput, power consumption of the proposed structure is reduced by 25.4%. Due to its efficient processing scheme, the proposed FFT structure can be used in large size of FFT like OFDM Modem.

Most multimedia source coders exhibit unequal bit error sensitivity. Efficient transmission system design should therefore incorporate the use of matching unequal error protection (UEP). In this paper, we present and evaluate a flexible space-time coding system with unequal error protection. Multiple transmit and receive antennas and bit-interleaved coded modulation techniques are used combined with rate compatible punctured convolutional codes. A near optimum iterative receiver is employed with a multiple-in multiple-out inverse mapper and a MAP decoder as component decoders. We illustrate how the UEP system gain can be achieved either as a power or bandwidth gain compared to the equal error protection system (EEP) for the identical source and equal overall quality for both the UEP and EEP systems. An example with two/three transmit and two receive antennas using BPSK modulation is given for the block fading channel.
