최근 부호화기의 성능 및 전력이 제한된 환경을 위한 비디오 부호화 기술로 분산 비디오 부호화 기술 (DVC : Distributed Video Coding)이 각광받고 있으며, Wyner-Ziv (WZ) 부호화 기술은 이의 대표적인 기술이다. WZ 부호화기는 기존 인트라 부호화 기술과 채널 부호를 사용하여 각각 키 (key)프레임과 WZ 프레임을 독립적으로 부호화한다. WZ 복호화기는 프레임 간 시간적 유사도를 기반으로, 복호화 된 키 프레임으로부터 보조 정보 (Side Information)를 생성한다. 보조 정보는 가상의 채널 잡음이 존재하는 WZ 프레임으로 간주되고, 가상의 채널 잡음은 채널 부호 복호화 과정을 통해 제거된다. 따라서 WZ 부호화 기술의 성능은 채널 부호의 성능에 크게 좌우된다. 현존하는 채널 부호 중 LPDC 채널 부호와 Turbo 채널 부호는 강력한 에러 정정 능력을 가지고 있으며, 확률적인 계산을 기반으로 반복적인 복호화 알고리즘을 수행하는 것이 특징이다. 하지만 반복적인 복호화 과정은 상당히 소모적인 과정으로 WZ 복호화기의 복잡도를 증가시킨다. 실제 WZ 부호화 기술에 LDPCA 채널 부호를 사용한 경우, WZ 복호화기 전체 복잡도에서 채널 복호화 과정이 차지하는 비율은 평균 60%에 이른다. 채널 복호화 과정 복잡도의 감소를 위해 채널 부호 분야에서 제안되었던 HDA (Hard Decision Aided) 방법을 LDPCA 채널 부호에 적용할 경우, 채널 복호화 과정의 복잡도는 상당히 줄어든다. 하지만 HDA 방법 적용을 위해 설정할 경계치에 따라 율 왜곡 측면에서 상당한 성능 저하가 있을 수 있으며. 적정 경계치는 영상마다 각각 다르다. 이에 본 논문에서는 영상의 특성에 따라 경계치가 설정되는 적응적 HDA 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 적정 율 왜곡 성능을 유지하며, 채널 복호화 과정 및 WZ 복호화 과정에서 각각 약 62%, 32%의 시간 절감 성능을 보인다.

The Internet Video Coding (IVC) standard is due to be published by Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) for various Internet applications such as internet broadcast streaming. IVC aims at three things fundamentally: 1) forming IVC patents under a free of charge license, 2) reaching comparable compression performance to AVC/H.264 constrained Baseline Profile (cBP), and 3) maintaining computational complexity for feasible implementation of real-time encoding and decoding. MPEG experts have worked diligently on the intellectual property rights issues for IVC, and they reported that IVC already achieved the second goal (compression performance) and even showed comparable performance to even AVC/H.264 High Profile (HP). For the complexity issue, however, there has not been thorough analysis on IVC decoder. In this paper, we analyze the IVC decoder in view of the time complexity by evaluating running time. Through the experimental results, IVC is 3.6 times and 3.1 times more complex than AVC/H.264 cBP under constrained set (CS) 1 and CS2, respectively. Compared to AVC/H.264 HP, IVC is 2.8 times and 2.9 times slower in decoding time under CS1 and CS2, respectively. The most critical tool to be improved for lightweight IVC decoder is motion compensation process containing a resolution-adaptive interpolation filtering process.

We propose a new serial concatenation scheme for space-time and recursive convolutional codes, in which a space-time code is used as the outer code and a single recursive convolutional code as the inner code. We discuss previously proposed serial concatenation schemes employing multiple inner codes and compare them with the new one. The proposed method and the previous one with joint decoding, both performing a combined decoding of the simultaneous output signals from multiple antennas, give a large performance gain over the separate decoding method. In decoding complexity, the new concatenation scheme has a lower complexity compared with the multiple encoding/joint decoding scheme due to the use of the single inner code. Simulation results for a communication system with two transmit and one receive antennas in a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel show that the proposed scheme outperforms the previous schemes.

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with belief-propagation (BP) algorithm achieve a remarkable performance close to the Shannon limit at reasonable decoding complexity. Conventionally, each iteration in decoding process contains two steps, the horizontal step and the vertical step. In this paper, an efficient implementation of the adaptive offset min-sum (AOMS) algorithm for decoding LDPC codes using the single-step method is proposed. Furthermore, the performances of the AOMS algorithm compared with belief-propagation (BP) algorithm are investigated. The algorithms using the single-step method reduce the implementation complexity, speed up the decoding process and have better efficiency in terms of memory requirements.

This paper proposes two kinds of complexity-reduced algorithms for a low density parity check (LDPC) decoder. First, sequential decoding using a partial group is proposed. It has the same hardware complexity and requires a fewer number of iterations with little performance loss. The amount of performance loss can be determined by the designer, based on a tradeoff with the desired reduction in complexity. Second, an early detection method for reducing the computational complexity is proposed. Using a confidence criterion, some bit nodes and check node edges are detected early on during decoding. Once the edges are detected, no further iteration is required; thus early detection reduces the computational complexity.

다중 송수신 안테나 시스템에서 비트 오류 확률 성능면에서 최적의 기법으로 알려진 ML(Maximum-Likelihood) 복호기를 구현하기 위해 격자 복호 기법이 제안되었다. 그러한 격자 복호 기법에 기반한 복호기에는 구 복호기, K-best 복호기 등이 있으며, K-best 검출 기법은 격자 복호 기법의 실제 구현에 가장 적합하지만 오차 전달 현상에 의한 성능 저하라는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 K-best 검출 기법의 단점을 보완해 비트 오류 확률 성능을 개선하고 평균 연산량을 낮춘 적응 K-best 기법을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a method that can be used to reduce the decoding computational complexity in turbo codes. To reduce the decoding complexity we proposed an adaptive sliding window method which control the learning period of Viterbi sliding window method depending on channel signal to interference ratio (SIR). When received signal to interference ratio (SIR) is relatively high, we can reduce the decoding complexity without a noticeable degradation of BER performance at CDMA cellular system with power control error.

MIMO(Multi-input Multi-output) 시스템은 안테나 개수에 비례하여 높은 데이터 전송량을 제공하지만 복호 과정에서 매우 높은 연산량을 필요로 한다. 높은 연산량을 극복하고 보다 정확한 신호추정을 위해 제안된 것이 SD(Sphere Decoding) 알고리듬이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 SE SD 알고리듬에 MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error)와 Euclid 거리 기준을 적용하여 연산량은 증가시키지 않으면서 검파 성능을 향상시키는 MIMO 검파 알고 리듬을 제안한다.

This paper presents a low-complexity triple-error-correcting parallel Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) decoder architecture and its efficient design techniques. A novel modified step-by-step (m-SBS) decoding algorithm, which significantly reduces computational complexity, is proposed for the parallel BCH decoder. In addition, a determinant calculator and a error locator are proposed to reduce hardware complexity. Specifically, a sharing syndrome factor calculator and a self-error detection scheme are proposed. The multi-channel multi-parallel BCH decoder using the proposed m-SBS algorithm and design techniques have considerably less hardware complexity and latency than those using a conventional algorithms. For a 16-channel 4-parallel (1020, 990) BCH decoder over GF($2^{12}$), the proposed design can lead to a reduction in complexity of at least 23 % compared to conventional architecttures.

In this paper, based on the soft cancellation (SCAN) bit-flipping (SCAN-BF) algorithm, a generalized SCAN bit-flipping (GSCAN-BF-Ω) decoding algorithm is carried out, where Ω represents the number of bits flipped or corrected at the same time. GSCAN-BF-Ω algorithm corrects the prior information of the code bits and flips the prior information of the unreliable information bits simultaneously to improve the block error rate (BLER) performance. Then, a joint threshold scheme for the GSCAN-BF-2 decoding algorithm is proposed to reduce the average decoding complexity by considering both the bit channel quality and the reliability of the coded bits. Simulation results show that the GSCAN-BF-Ω decoding algorithm reduces the average decoding latency while getting performance gains compared to the common multiple SCAN bit-flipping decoding algorithm. And the GSCAN-BF-2 decoding algorithm with the joint threshold reduces the average decoding latency further by approximately 50% with only a slight performance loss compared to the GSCAN-BF-2 decoding algorithm.
