The deblocking filter in the H.264/AVC video coding standard helps to reduce the blocking artifacts produced in the decoding process. But it consumes one third of the computational complexity in H.624/AVC decoder, which advocates an efficient design of a hardware accelerator for filtering. This paper proposes an architecture of deblocking filter using two filters and some registers for data reuse. Our architecture improves the throughput and minimize the number of external memory access by increasing data reuse. After initialization, two filters are able to perform filtering operation simultaneously. It takes only 96 clocks to complete filtering for one macroblock. We design and synthesis our architecture using Dongbuanam $0.18{\mu}m$ standard cell library and the maximum clock frequency is 200MHz.

This paper presents a rapid watermarking algorithm based on DC image, which provides a resilience to geometric distortion. Our proposed scheme is based on $8{\times}8$ block DCT that is widely used in image/video compression techniques (e.g., JPEG and MPEG). In particular, a DC image is analyzed by DWT to embed a watermark. To overcome a quality degradation caused by a watermark insertion into DC components, we discern carefully the intensity and amount of watermark along the different subbands of DWT. Note that the proposed technique supports a high throughput for a real-time watermark insertion and extraction by relying on a partial decoding (i.e., DC components) on $8{\times}8$ block DCT domain. Experimental result shows that the proposed watermarking scheme significantly reduces computation time of 82% compared with existing DC component based algorithm and yet provides invariant properties against various attacks such as geometric distortion and JPEG compression, etc.

With the advent of the genomics era powered by DNA sequencing technologies, life science is being transformed significantly and biological research and development have been accelerated. Environmental biology concerns the relationships among living organisms and their natural environment, which constitute the global biogeochemical cycle. As sustainability of the ecosystems depends on biodiversity, examining the structure and dynamics of the biotic constituents and fully grasping their genetic and metabolic capabilities are pivotal. The high-speed high-throughput next-generation sequencing can be applied to barcoding organisms either thriving or endangered and to decoding the whole genome information. Furthermore, diversity and the full gene complement of a microbial community can be elucidated and monitored through metagenomic approaches. With regard to human welfare, microbiomes of various human habitats such as gut, skin, mouth, stomach, and vagina, have been and are being scrutinized. To keep pace with the rapid increase of the sequencing capacity, various bioinformatic algorithms and software tools that even utilize supercomputers and cloud computing are being developed for processing and storage of massive data sets. Environmental genomics will be the major force in understanding the structure and function of ecosystems in nature as well as preserving, remediating, and bioprospecting them.

To increase the throughput of data transmission in burst-mode TDMA communication systems and also to get a good BER performance at the same time, it is essential to rapidly acquire the carrier while keeping the desirable tracking performance. To achieve this goal, in this paper, a new decision-directed carrier recovery algorithm is presented. The proposed scheme does not incorporate the PLL and suppress the Gaussian random process of input noise by the pre-stage low pass filter so as to get both the fast acquisition and a good performance. Through computer simulations, the performance of the scheme is analyzed with respect to the acquisition time and bit error rate. The cycle slip in the proposed scheme is seldom observed at very low SNR environment in contrast to the previous proposed one. Because of this merit, it is not required to do the differential encoding and decoding in the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we used FTN(Faster than Nyquist) method that is transmission method faster than Nyquist theory. FTN signaling introduces intersymbol interference(ISI), but increases the bit rate while preserving the signaling bandwidth. Therefore, we need compensating ISI caused by FTN. In this paper, we propose decoding method for FTN signal that using BCJR Equalizer and Turbo Equalization. first ISI of inputted signal is restored by BCJR Equalizer, and then restored signal inputted in LDPC decoder, and repeat the process using the Turbo Equalization improves performance. finally, we shows performance comparison according to reduce percentage of FTN signal.

Work to improve network throughput has been focused on network coding as the utilization of IoT-based application services increases and network usage increases rapidly. In network coding, nodes transform packets received from neighboring nodes into a combination of encoded packets for transmission and decoding at the destination. This scheme is based on trust among nodes, but in the IoT environment where nodes are free to join, a malicious node can fabricate the packet if it legally participates in the configuration. It is difficult to identify the authenticity of the encoded packet since the packet received at destination is not a single source but a combination of packets generated by several nodes. In this paper, we propose a method to detect "look-like-valid" packets that have been attacked and disguised in packets received at destination, and to identify valid messages in the reconstructions. This method shows that network coding performance is significantly improved because the destination can reconstruct a valid message with only received packets without retransmission with a high probability, despite the presence of disguised packets.

In this paper, we introduce a new method which is available for analyzing the throughput of the packet radio network by using the auxiliary Markov transient matrix with a failure state and a success state. And we consider the effect of symbol error for the network state(X, R) consisted of the number of transmitting PRU X and receiving PRU R. We examine the packet radio network of a continuous time Markov chain model, and the direct sequence binary phase shift keying CDMA radio channel with hard decision Viterbi decoding and bit-by-bit changing spreading code. For the unslotted distributed multi-hop packet radio network, we assume that the packet error due to a symbol error of radio channel has Poisson process, and the time period of an error occurrence is exponentially distributed. Through the throughputs which are found as a function of radio channel parameters, such as the received signal to noise ratio and chips of spreading code per symbol, and of network parameters, such as the number of PRU and offered traffic rate, it is shown that this composite analysis enables us to combine the Markovian packet radio network model with a coded DS/BPSK CDMA radio channel.

This paper presents the design and FPGA implementation of a FLEX PSP(Protocol Signal Processor) for the portable high speed paging system. In this approach, two algorithms are newly proposed for implementing the PSP which provides capabilities of the maximum 6,400bps at speed, high-channel throughput, real time error correction and an effective frame search function. One is an accurate symbol synchronization algorithm which is applied for synchronizing the interleaved 4-level bit symbols which are received at input stage of A/D converter, and the other is a modified fast decoding algorithm which is provided for realizing double error correction of (31,21)BCH signal. The PSP is composed of six functional modules, and each module is modelled in VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). Both functional simulation and logic synthesis have performed for the proposed PSP through the use of Synopsys$^{TM}$ tools on a Axil-320 Workstation, and where Altera 10K libraries are used for logic synthesis. From logic synthesis, we can see that the number of gates is about 2,631. For FPGA implementation, timing simulation is performed by using Altera MAX+ PLUS II, and its results will be also given. The PSP which is implemented in 6 FPGA devices on a PCB has been verified by means of Logic Analyzer.r.

In the network coding, throughput can be increased by allowing the transformation of the received data at the intermediate nodes. However, the adversary can obtain more information at the intermediate nodes and make troubles for decoding of transmitted data at the sink nodes by modifying transmitted data at the compromised nodes. In order to resist the adversary activities, various information theoretic or cryptographic secure network coding schemes are proposed. Recently, a secure network coding based on the cryptographic hash function can be used at the random network coding. However, because of the computational resource requirement for cryptographic hash functions, networks with limited computational resources such as sensor nodes have difficulties to use the cryptographic solution. In this paper, we propose a new secure network coding scheme which uses linear transformations and table lookup and safely transmits n-1 packets at the random network coding under the assumption that the adversary can eavesdrop at most n-1 nodes. It is shown that the proposed scheme is an all-or-nothing transform (AONT) and weakly secure network coding in the information theory.

Application of network coding in wireless two-way relay channels (TWRC) has received much attention recently because its ability to improve throughput significantly. In traditional designs, network coding operates at upper layers above (including) the link layer and it requires the input packets to be correctly decoded. However, this requirement may limit the performance and application of network coding due to the unavoidable fading and noise in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a new wireless network coding scheme for TWRC, which is referred to as soft network coding (SoftNC), where the relay nodes applies symbol-by-symbol soft decisions on the received signals from the two end nodes to come up with the network coded information to be forwarded. We do not assume further channel coding on top of SoftNC at the relay node (channel coding is assumed at the end nodes). According to measures of the soft information adopted, two kinds of SoftNC are proposed: amplify-and-forward SoftNC (AF-SoftNC) and soft-bit-forward SoftNC (SBF-SoftNC). We analyze the both the ergodic capacity and the outage capacity of the two SoftNC schemes. Specifically, analytical form approximations of the ergodic capacity and the outage capacity of the two schemes are given and validated. Numerical simulation shows that our SoftNC schemes can outperform the traditional network coding based two-way relay protocol, where channel decoding and re-encoding are used at the relay node. Notable is the fact that performance improvement is achieved using only simple symbol-level operations at the relay node.
