Although most current video coding standards set a fixed motion vector resolution like quarter-pel accuracy, a scheme supporting multiple motion vector resolutions can improve the coding efficiency of video since it can allow to use just required motion vector accuracy depending on the video content and at the same time to generate more accurate motion predictor. However, the selected motion vector resolution for each motion vector is a signaling overhead. This paper proposes a contradiction testing-based signaling scheme of the motion vector resolution. The proposed method selects a best resolution for each motion vector among multiple candidates in such a way to produce the minimum amount of coded bits for the motion vector. The signaling overhead is reduced by contradiction testing that operates under a predefined criterion at both encoder and decoder with a purpose of pruning irrelevant candidate motion vector resolutions from signaling responsibility. Experimental results verified that the proposed scheme is effective in reducing coded motion information by achieving its $Bj{\o}ntegaard$ delta bit rate (BDBR) gain of about 4.01% on average (and up to 15.17%) compared to the conventional scheme with a fixed motion vector resolution.

In this paper, we describe DSSS transceiver development robust to jamming signals as an investigation of ECCM transceiver for UAV uplink. The jamming margin is 15dB or greater with the development target of transceiver because the jamming margin is more important than the transmission rate of data and the spreading code can be changeable. The rake receiver is applied to combine multipath components and turbo code which the coding gain is 7.2dB as a FEC. In this paper, the whole structure, design method and functional test result about the designed modem are described and a conclusion is made.

Selection of the Lagrangian multiplier is a key factor to determine the performance of Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO) in video coding. JM, reference S/W of H.264, employs only one RDO model for all macroblock. However, since the characteristics of macroblocks are different, RDO model adaptive to their characteristics can give some performance improvement. In this paper, we propose an RDO algorithm adaptive to characteristics of macroblocks. We empirically obtain the optimal Lagrangian multipliers considering characteristics of macroblocks. For performance evaluation, the proposed method is applied to JM10.2 and, as a result, we have PSNR gain of 0.2dB on average.

In this paper, the new beamforming is proposed for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system with multi-input multi-output(MIMO). Through the proposed Pre-FFT beamforming technique for MIMO-OFDM, the multibeams are formed toward each multi-transmitter antenna of the desired user. The proposed beamforming for MIMO-OFDM can reduce cochannel interference and get diversity gain in the multi-user environment. Therefore, the performance of MIMO-OFDM system is very improved. BER performance improvement of the proposed approach is investigated through computer simulation by applying it to MIMO-OFDM system in the multi-user environment.

In this paper, in order to improve the degraded BER performance of the stronger channel user in non-orthogonal multiple access(: NOMA) with interactive mobile users, we propose the negative correlation bit-to-symbol(: B2S) mapping. First, the closed-form expression for the BER of the negative correlation B2S mapping receiver is derived, and then it is shown that the BER of the negative correlation B2S mapping receiver is improved, compared with those of the ideal perfect successive interference cancellation(: SIC) receiver and positive correlation receiver. Additionally, based on the analytical expression, signal-to-noise(: SNR) gain is calculated, and the superiority of the negative correlation B2S mapping receiver is validated.

In this paper, we investigate design criteria and the performance of the space-frequency bit-interleaved coded modulation (SF-BICM) systems in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. To determine the key parameters that affect the performance of SF-BICM, we derive the pairwise error probability (PEP) in terms of the determinant of the matrix corresponding to any two codewords. We prove that the bit-interleavers do the function of distributing the nonzero bits uniformly such that two or more nonzero bits are seldom distributed into the symbols that are transmitted in the same frequency bin. This implies that the bit-interleavers transform an SF-BICM system into an equivalent 1-antenna system. Based on this, we present design criteria of SFBICM systems that maximizes the diversity order and the coding gain. Then, we analyze the performance of SF-BICM for the case of 2-transmit antennas and 2-multipaths by deriving a frame error rate (FER) bound. The derived bound is accurate and requires only the distance spectrum of the constituent codes of SF-BICM. Numerical results reveal that the bound is tight enough to estimate the performance of SF-BICM very accurately.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare head register with chest register of singers acoustically. Fifteen healthy tenor major students were participated. Fifteen healthy untrained adults were chosen as the control group for this study. Long term average (LTA) power spectrum using the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm and Linear predictive coding (LPC) filter response were made with /a/ sustained in both head (G4, 392 Hz) and chest registers (C3, 131 Hz). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test. In the LTA power spectrum, head register of singers increased in the level of energy gain within the frequency of 2.2-3.4 kHz (p<0.01), and 7.5-8.4 kHz (p<0.01, p<0.05). Chest register of singers increased in the frequency of 2.2-3.1 kHz (p<0.01), 7.8-8.4 kHz (p<0.05) and around 9.6 kHz (p<0.01). The LTA power spectrum revealed a peak of acoustic energy around 2,500 Hz, known as the singer's formant and another peak of acoustic energy around 8,000 Hz in the singer's voice.

Turbo codes are the most exciting and potentially important development in coding theory in recent years. They were introduced in 1993 by Berrou, Glavieux and $Thitimajshima,({(1)}$ and claimed to achieve near Shannon-limit error correction performance with relatively simple component codes and large interleavers. A required Eb/N0 of 0.7㏈ was reported for BER of $10^{-5}$ and code rate of $l/2.^{(1)}$ However, to implement the turbo code system, there are various important details that are necessary to reproduce these results such as AGC gain control, optimal wordlength determination, and metric rescaling. Further, the memory required to implement MAP-based turbo decoder is relatively considerable. In this paper, we confirmed the accuracy of these claims by computer simulation considering these points, and presented a optimal wordlength for Turbo code design. First, based on the analysis and simulation of the turbo decoder, we determined an optimal wordlength of Turbo decoder. Second, we suggested the MAP decoding algorithm based on sliding-window method which reduces the system memory significantly. By computer simulation, we could demonstrate that the suggested fixed-point Turbo decoder operates well with negligible performance loss.

In this paper we explain a trellis representation of block codes and derive their MAP decoding algorithm based on it. We also analyze the performance of block codes and concatenated codes with block codes as components by computer simulations, which were performed by changing the structures and constituent codes of concatenated codes. Computer simulations show that soft decision decoding of block codes get an extra coding gain than their hard decision decoding and that concatenated codes using block codes have good performance in the case of high code rate.

본 논문에서는 디지틀 이동 통신 시스템의 열악한 페이딩 채널에 적합한 변복조 반식중의 하나인${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK 성능을 논하고, 그 성능 개선을 위한 새로운 TCM(trellis-coded modulation)을 적응하여 trellis-부호화된${\pi}$/8-shift 8SPSK 방식을 제안 한다. 기존의 ${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK변조 방식에 TCM의 도입은 요구된 대역폭과 송신 전력과 전송을 그대로 유지하면서 부호화와 변조를 일체화함으로서 부호화 이득(coding gain)을 얻을 수 있다. 이동 통신 채널에서 trellis-부호화된 ${\pi}$/8-shift 8PSK방식의 시스템 성능을 추정하기 위해서, 가산 백색 가우시안 잡음과 레일레이 페이딩 현상이 존재하는 채널에서, 차량속도 변화에 따른 도플러 효과에 의한 페이딩율이 10Hz와 30Hz인 두 경우에 대해 시스템을 모델링한다. Trellis-부호화된${\pi}$/8-shift 8PSK에 대한 부호화 이득은 비트 에러 확률을 적용하여 분석하고, 기본 시스템과 새롭게 모델링 되어진 시스템의 개선된 성능을 비교하기 위해, TCM의 상태수를 4,8,16으로 선정하여 비교 구현해 본 결과, 상태수가 커질수록 더 좋은 성능을 나타내고, 기존의 ${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK보다 trellis-부호된 ${\pi}$/8-shift 8PSK는 가산 백색 가우시안 잡음채널에서는 3~4dB의 부호화 이득을 얻고, 레일레이 페이티 채널하에서 3~16dB정도의 부호화 이득을 얻음을 알 수 있다.
