Satellite and aerial images are effectively used to monitor ecological and environmental situation. More and more officials in the Ministry of Environment thus need to utilize these image data for various administrative affairs. However, it is difficult not only to deliver to the officials these image data mostly of large capacity through network but also for them to actively use the delivered data without specialized knowledge in remote sensing and image processing. Therefore, we established a large rapacity image data service system employing image compressive transmission and web-based image processing techniques. This system allows the officials to rapidly access all the associated image data and conveniently utilize the data using various functions implemented for remote sensing, image processing, GIS operations. Consequently, this system have been actively utilized for the decision making processes of the officials and hence accomplished a great reduction in the resources required for the data analysis for various administrative affairs.

Error concealment plays an important role in combating transmission errors. Methods of error concealment which produce better quality are generally of higher complexity, thus making some of the more sophisticated algorithms is not suitable for real-time applications. In this paper, we develop temporal and spatial error resilient video encoding and data hiding approach to facilitate the error concealment at the decoder. Block interleaving scheme is introduced to isolate erroneous blocks caused by packet losses for spatial area of error resilience. For temporal area of error resilience, data hiding is applied to the transmission of parity bits to protect motion vectors. To do error concealment quickly, a set of edge features extracted from a block is embedded imperceptibly using data hiding into the host media and transmitted to decoder. If some part of the media data is damaged during transmission, the embedded features are used for concealment of lost data at decoder. This method decreases a complexity of error concealment by reducing the estimation process of lost data from neighbor blocks. The proposed data hiding method of parity bits and block features is not influence much to the complexity of standard encoder. Experimental results show that proposed method conceals properly and effectively burst errors occurred on transmission channel like Internet.

In this paper, a signal processing circuit for semi-implantable middle ear hearing device is designed using the TCBT which is recently proposed for a new middle ear transducer that can be implanted at round window of cochlea. The designed semi-implantable hearing device transmits digital sound signal from external device located at behind the ear to the internal device implanted under the skin using inductive coupling link methods with high efficiency. The coils and signal processing circuits are designed and implemented considering the total transmission and reception distance including skin thickness of temporal bone for the semi-implantable hearing device. And also, to improve the data transmission efficiency, the output circuits which can supply sufficient signal power is designed. In order to confirm operation of semi-implantable hearing device using inductive coupling link, the circuit analysis was performed using PSpice, and the performance was verified by implementing a signal processing board of an available size.

Real-time application programs have constraints which need to be met between media-data. These constraints represents the delay time ad quality of service between media-data to be presented. In order to efficiently describe the delay time and quality of service, a new synchronization mechanism is needed. Proposed paper is a dynamic synchronization that minimized the effects of adaptive transmission delay time. That is, the method meets the requirements of synchronization between media-dat by handling dynamically the adaptive waiting time resulted from variations of delay time. In addition, the mechanism has interval adjustment using maximum delay jitter time. This paper decreases the data loss resulted from variation of delay time and from loss time of media-data by means of applying delay jitter in order to deal with synchronization interval adjustment. Plus, the mechanism adaptively manages the waiting time of smoothing buffer, which leads to minimize the gap from the variation of delay time. The proposed paper is suitable to the system which requires the guarantee of high quality of service and mechanism improves quality of services such as decrease of loss rate, increase of playout rate.

In this paper, we realized a transceiver system for short distance communication with a commercial RF module working in ISM band. Also we measured system performance by transmitting baseband data in a building and then we compared the demodulated data bits with stored data bits in a PC connected with demodulator. The RF module In the experiments works only in the bandwidth of 424MHz-429MHz. The signal level degrades as the distance between transmitter and receiver increases. We measured the signal level and bit error and present the measured results with various locations in the building. And it is concluded that the measured data may be used in the design of short distance network in a building.

As the industry generates a lot of data, it is increasingly dependent on the IoT platform. For this reason, the performance and anomaly detection of IoT platform is becoming an important factor. In this paper, we propose a system model of IoT platform that detects device anomaly without performance issue. The proposed system uses Micro Batch which calculates the data transmission cycle to provide Soft Real-time service. In the industry, it was difficult to collect abnormal data, so the Hotelling's $T^2$ model was applied to the data analysis experiment. And the Hotelling's $T^2$ model successfully detected anomalies.

With the progress of home network technologies, the importance of the home network middleware for control and management of the digital appliances is increasing. Furthermore, by the technological growth of the AV equipments and the popularization of video contents, IEEE1394 for the transmission of AV data has spread fast. However, DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance), which is a standard of the home network middleware, does not consider the transmission of AV data over IEEE1394. In this paper, we describe the problem occurring when the AV contents are transmitted over IEEE1394 in DLNA and propose the scheme for transmission of AV contents over IEEE1394. In addition, by the verification test of DLNA compatibility, we show that our proposed scheme can provide the share of AV contents without regard to the manufactures and transmission media.

The hardware performs the following functions including those of the transmission convergence(TC) sublayer; (1) formatting TC PDU(Protocol data unit) from/to MAC PDU, (2) Reed-solomon(RS) encoding/decoding, and (3) resolving DL MAP and UL MAP, so that it controls transmission slot and uplink and downlink traffic according to the modulation scheme of burst profile. Also, it provides various control signal for PHY modem. In addition, the truncated binary exponential backoff (TBEB) algorithm is implemented in a subscriber station to avoid collision on contention-based transmission of messages. The VLSI architecture performing all these functions is implemented and verified in VHDL.
