DVB-SSP is a new broadcasting system for hybrid satellite communications, which supports mobile handhold systems and fixed terrestrial systems. An upper layer, including erasure Reed-Solomon error correction combined with cyclic redundancy check. However, a critical factor must be considered in upper layer decoding. If there is only one bit error in an IP packet, the entire IP packet is considered as unreliable bytes, even if it contains correct bytes. If, for example, there is one real byte error, in an If packet of 512 bytes, 511 correct bytes are erased from the frame. Therefore, this paper proposed upper layer decoding methods; hybrid decoding. By means of simulation we show that the performance of the proposed decoding algorithm is superior to that of the conventional one in AWGN channel and TI channel.

YOLOv4 can be used for detecting parking vehicles in order to check a vehicle in out-door parking space. YOLOv4 has 9 anchor boxes in each of 13x13 grid cells for detecting a bounding box of object. Because anchor boxes are allocated based on each cell, there can be existed small observational error for detecting real objects due to the distance between neighboring cells. In this paper, we proposed YOLOv4 grid cell shift algorithm for improving the out-door parking vehicle detection accuracy. In order to get more chance for trying to object detection by reducing the errors between anchor boxes and real objects, grid cells over image can be shifted to vertical, horizontal or diagonal directions after YOLOv4 basic detection process. The experimental results show that a combined algorithm of a custom trained YOLOv4 and a cell shift algorithm has 96.6% detection accuracy compare to 94.6% of a custom trained YOLOv4 only for out door parking vehicle images.

LDPC Low Density Parity Check) code, which is an error correcting code determined to be applied to the 4th generation mobile communication systems, requires a heavy computational complexity due to iterative decodings to achieve a high BER performance. This paper proposes an algorithm to reduce the number of decoding iterations to increase performance of the decoder in decoding latency and power consumption. Measuring changes between the current decoded LLR values and previous ones, the proposed algorithm predicts directions of the value changes. Based on the prediction, the algorithm inverts the sign bits of the LLR values to speed up convergence, which means parity check equation is satisfied. Simulation results show that the number of iterations has been reduced by about 33% without BER performance degradation in the proposed decoder, and the power consumption has also been decreased in proportional to the amount of the reduced decoding iterations.

Recently, WSN(wireless sensor networks) consists of several sensor nodes in sensor field. And each sensors have the enforced energy constraint. Therefore, it is important to manage energy efficiently. In WSN application system, FEC(Forward error correction) increases the energy efficiency and data reliability of the data transmission. LDPC(Low density parity check) code is one of the FEC code. It needs more encoding operation than other FEC code by growing codeword length. But this code can approach the Shannon capacity limit and it is also can be used to increase the data reliability and decrease the transmission energy. In this paper, the author adopt Linear-Congruence method at generating parity check matrix of LDPC(Low density parity check) codes to reduce the complexity of encoding process and to enhance the energy efficiency in the WSN. As a result, the proposed algorithm can increase the encoding energy efficiency and the data reliability.

This paper deals with the application of the LMS algorithm as a decision-directed adaptive equalizer in a communication receiver which also employs a sophisticated decoding scheme such as the Viterbi algorithm, in which the desired signal, hence the error, is not available until several symbol intervals later because of decoding delay. In such applications the implemented weight updating algorithm becomes DLMS and major penalty is reduced convergence speed. Therefore, every effort should by made to keep the delay as small as possible if it is not avoidable. In this paper we present a modified implementation in which the effects of the decoding delay can be avioded and perform some computer simulations to check the validity and the performance of the new implementation.

To improve performance over noisy wireless channels, mobile wireless networks employ forward error correction(FEC) techniques. The performance of static FEC algorithms, however, degrades by poorly matching the overhead of their correction code to the degree of the fluctuating underlying channel error. This paper proposes an adaptive FEC technique called FECA(FEC-level Adaptation), which dynamically tunes FEC strength to the currently estimated channel error rate at the data link layer. FECA is suitable for wireless networks whose error rate is high and slowly changing compared to the round-trip time between two communicating nodes. One such example network would be a sensor network in which the average bit error rate is higher than $10^{-6}$ and the detected error rate at one time lasts a few hundred milliseconds on average. Our experiments show that FECA performs 15% in simulations with theoretically modeled wireless channels and in trace-driven simulations based on the data collected from real sensor networks better than any other static FEC algorithms.

In this study we applied a DEM generation algorithm developed in-house to satellite images at various resolution and discussed the results. We tested SPOT images at l0m resolution, EOC images at 6.6m and IKONOS images at 1m resolution. These images include the same urban area in Daejeon city. For camera model, we used Gupta & Hartley's(1997) DLT model for all three image sets. We carried out accuracy assessment using USGS DTED for SPOT and EOC and 23 check points for IKONOS. The assessment showed that SPOT DEM had about 38m RMS error, EOC DEM 12m RMS error and IKONOS DEM 6.5m RMS error. In terms of image resolution, SPOT and EOC DEM error corresponds to 2∼4 pixels where as IKONOS DEM error 6∼7pixels. IKONOS DEM contains more errors in pixels. However, in IKONOS DEM, individual buildings, apartments and major roads are identifiable. All three DEMs contained errors due to height discontinuity, occlusion and shadow. These experiments show that our algorithm can generate urban DEM from 1m resolution and that, however, we need to improve the algorithm to minimize effects of occlusion and building shadows on DEMs.

As 4G mobile communication systems require high transmission rates with reliability, the need for efficient error correcting code is increasing. In this paper, a novel LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) decoder is introduced. The LDPC code is one of the most popular error correcting codes. In order to improve performance of the LDPC decoder, we use SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) estimation results to adjust coefficients of modified UMP-BP (Uniformly Most Probable Belief Propagation) algorithm which is one of widely-used LDPC decoding algorithms. An advantage of Modified UMP-BP is that it is amenable to implement in hardware. We generate the optimal values by simulation for various SNRs and coefficients, and the values are stored in a look-up table. The proposed decoder decides coefficients of the modified UMP-BP based on SNR information. The simulation results show that the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the proposed LDPC decoder is better than an LDPC decoder using a conventional modified UMP-BP.

This paper proposes a new coding technique for constructing error correcting high rate DC-free multimode code using a generator matrix generated from a sparse parity-check matrix. The scheme exploits high rate generator matrixes for producing distinct candidate codewords. The decoding complexity depends on whether the syndrome of the received codeword is zero or not. If the syndrome is zero, the decoding is simply performed by expurgating the redundant bits of the received codeword. Otherwise, the decoding is performed by a sum-product algorithm. The performance of the proposed scheme can achieve a reasonable DC-suppression and a low bit error rate.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, in order to design an efficient packet structure, we employ channel coding scheme and phase recovery algorithm. For channel coding scheme, half rate LDPC channel coding scheme with N=1944 and K=972 was used. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we propose length of data for optimal packet structure in the environment of oceanic experimentation.
