In this paper, we introduce a system and a set of algorithms for disseminating popular content to a large group of wireless clients spread over a wide area. This area is partitioned into multiple cells and there is a base station in each cell which is able to broadcast to the clients within its radio coverage. Dissemination of information in the proposed system is hybrid in nature: Each base station broadcasts a fraction of information in the form of random linear combinations of data blocks. Then the clients cooperate by exchanging packets to obtain their desired messages while they are moving arbitrarily over the area. In this paper, fundamental trade-offs between the average information delivery completion time at the clients and different parameters of the system such as bandwidth usage by the base stations, average energy consumption by the clients and the popularity of the spread information are studied. Moreover different heuristic algorithms are proposed to control and maintain a balance over these trade-offs. Also, the more complicated case of multiple sessions where each client is interested in an arbitrary subset of sessions is considered and two variants of the basic dissemination algorithm are proposed. The performance of all the proposed algorithms is evaluated via extensive numerical experiments.

Recent advances in forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques were focused on addressing the challenges of multicast and broadcast delivery. However, FEC approaches can also be used for unicast content delivery in order to solve transmission control protocol issues found in wireless networks. In this paper, we exploit the error resilient properties of Raptor codes by proposing Raptor-based content delivery protocol (RCDP) - a novel solution for reliable and bidirectional unicast communication in lossy links that can improve content delivery in situations where the wireless network is the bottleneck. RCDP has been designed, validated, optimized, and its performance has been analyzed in terms of throughput and resource efficiency. Experimental results show that RCDP is a highly efficient solution for environments characterized by high delays and packet losses making it very suitable for intelligent transport system oriented applications since it achieves significant performance improvements when compared to traditional transport layer protocols.

In H.264/AVC, the first frame of a group of pictures (GOP) is encoded in intra mode which generates a large number of bits. The number of bits for the I-frame affects the qualities of the following frames of a GOP since they are encoded using the bits remaining among the bits allocated to the GOP. In addition, the first frame is used for the inter mode encoding of the following frames. Thus, the initial quantization parameter (QP) affects the following frames as well as the first frame. In this paper, an adaptive peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR)-based initial QP determination algorithm is presented. In the proposed algorithm, a novel linear model is established based on the observation of the relation between the initial QPs and PSNRs of frames. Using the linear model and PSNR results of the encoded GOPs, the proposed algorithm accurately estimates the optimal initial QP which maximizes the PSNR of the current GOP. It is shown by experimental results that the proposed algorithm predicts the optimal initial QP accurately and thus achieves better PSNR performance than that of the existing algorithm.

최근 초경량 비디오 압축 기술로써 분산 비디오 복호화가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 분산 비디오 복호화 전체 과정 중 피드백 채널을 이용한 패리티 비트 량 제어 방식이 복호화 시간증가의 원인이 되고 있다. 시간적 공간적 상관성이 높은 영상의 특성은 프레임 별 동일 위치 LDPCA프레임의 패리티 비트 요구량에 동일하게 적용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 프레임간 적응적인 연산을 통해 패리티 비트 요구량을 예측하여 복호화 시간을 줄이는 방식을 제안한다. 제안 방식을 사용한 경우 패리티 비트 요구량을 예측을 하지 않을 때보다 평균 80%의 시간을 단축함을 보인다.

동등한 영상의 풀질을 유지하면서 기존의 비디오 압축 표준보다 30퍼센트 이상의 비트 절감효과를 내는 H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC(Advanced Video Coding) 표준이 최근 확정되었다. AVC는 국내 지상파 DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 멀티미디어 서비스의 비디오 표준으로도 채택되어 많은 관심을 불러일으키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC 부호기를 위한 고정 비트 율 제어 알고리듬을 구현하고 이를 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 비디오 부호화 과정에서 각 픽처마다 발생하는 비트 량이 같지는 않지만 부호기 출력 비트 율은 일정하게 한 수 있으며 이를 고정 비트 율 제어라 한다 부호기는 입력 영상의 복잡도를 예측하고 실제 버퍼 점유도에 대한 피프백 정보를 이용하여 발생 비트 수글 조절한다. 특히 전송 대역폭 제한사항이 있는 고정 비트 율 채널 환경에서 비디오 부호기의 고정 비트 율 제어는 반드시 필요하다. JVT에서 제공하는 참조 소프트웨어인 JM(Joint Model) 소프트웨어가 아직까지 고정 비트 율 제어 기능을 지원하지 않으므로, MPEG-2 Part 2 Video 표준과 MPEG-4 Part 2 Visual 표준에서 고정 비트 율 제어에 이용되었던 TM5 고정 비트 율 제어 모델을 적용하여 H.264/AVC 부호기의 고정 비트 율 제어를 구현하였다.

본 논문에서는 계수분할을 이용한 개선된 웨이블릿 패킷 영상 부호화 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 전체 압축시간을 단축을 위해 엔트로피를 이용하여 영상을 웨이블릿 패킷 분할하고, 부대역간 상관성을 이용하여 계수들을 제로트리 방식으로 부호화하여 비트율 및 왜곡 성능을 개선한다. 영상 복원시 오차 감소를 위해 각 주파수 부대역간의 상관성을 이용하여 새로운 부모-자식노드 관계를 추출하고, 이를 이용하여 계수들에 대한 부호화 순서를 결정한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 제안된 웨이블릿 패킷영상 부호화 알고리듬에 대한 성능 평가를 위해 텍스처 이미지에 대해 기존의 알고리듬과 비트율과 제곱오차에 대한 비교 평가하였으며, 비트율 및 왜곡 성능이 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

The double helix structure of DNA makes it diverse, stable and can store information with high density, and these characteristics are consistent with the requirements of molecular communication for transport carriers. In this paper, a specific structure of molecular communication system based on DNA length coding is proposed. Transmitter (Tx) adopts the multi-layer golden foil design to control the release of DNA molecules of different lengths accurately, and receiver (Rx) adopts an effective and sensitive design of nanopore, and the biological information can be converted to the electric signal at Rx. The effect of some key factors, e.g., the length of time slot, transmission distance, the number of releasing molecules, the priori probability, on channel capacity is demonstrated exhaustively. Moreover, we also compare the transmission capacity of DNA-based molecular communication (DNA-MC) system and concentration-based molecular communication (MC) system under the same parameter setting, and the peak value of capacity of DNA-MC system can achieve 0.08 bps, while the capacity of MC system remains 0.025 bps. The simulation results show that DNA-MC system has obvious advantages over MC system in saving molecular resources and improving transmission stability.

Triglopsis quadricornis Linnaeus, 1758 (Cottidae) is distributed in the Atlantic and Arctic and has four unique bony protuberances on its head. Here, we report the complete, circular, and annotated mitochondrial genome of T. quadricornis. The complete T. quadricornis mitochondrion was sequenced by high-throughput Illumina HiSeq platform. The sequences are 16,736 bp in size and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, a control region, and large and small ribosomal subunits. The overall genomic structure of T. quadricornis mitochondrion was conserved with the gene arrangement of Megalocottus and Myoxocephalus species, and phylogenetic analysis supports their sister relationships. Most PCGs consist of TAA or TAG as a termination codon, whereas COII, ND4, and CYTB have T-- as a stop codon. This complete mitochondrial DNA information of T. quadricornis will provide an essential genomic resource to elucidate the phylogenetic relationship and evolutionary history of the family Cottidae.

Freshwater gobies Rhinogobius cliffordpopei and R. giurinus are invasive species with particular concern because they have become dominant and were fierce competitors in the invaded areas in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (southwest of China). Information about genetic characteristics of R. giurinus have been published, but there were still no relevant reports about R. cliffordpopei. In present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of R. cliffordpopei was determined, which was 16,511 bp in length with A+T content of 51.1%, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region. The gene composition and the structural arrangement of the R. cliffordpopei complete mtDNA were identical to most of other teleosts. Phylogenetic analyses placed R. cliffordpopei in a well-supported monophyletic cluster with other Rhinogobius fish. But the phylogenetic relationship between genus Rhinogobius and Tridentiger remained to be resolved.

Bats influence overall ecosystem health by regulating species diversity and being a major source of zoonotic viruses. Hence, there is a need to elucidate their migration, population structure, and phylogenetic relationship. The complete mitochondrial genome is widely used for studying the genome-level characteristics and phylogenetic relationship of various animals due to its high mutation rate, simple structure, and maternal inheritance. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of the bird-like noctule (Nyctalus aviator) by Illumina next-generation sequencing. The sequences obtained were used to reconstruct a phylogenic tree of Vespertilionidae to elucidate the phylogenetic relationship among its members. The mitogenome of N. aviator is 16,863-bp long with a typical vertebrate gene arrangement, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 putative control region. Overall, the nucleotide composition is as follows: 32.3% A, 24.2% C, 14.3% G, and 29.2% T, with a slight AT bias (61.5%). The base composition of the 13 PCGs is as follows: 30.3% A, 13.4% G, 31.0% T, and 25.2% C. The phylogenetic analysis, based on 13 concatenated PCG sequences, infers that N. aviator is closely related to N. noctula with a high bootstrap value (100%).
