In the future, satellite communication systems, such as ISDB in Japan and DVB in Europe, are required to support higher transmission date rate for providing multimedia services including HDTV, high rate data communication etc. Considering the effectiveness of OFDM technique in efficient usage of frequency bandwidth and its robustness to the multi-path fading, several OFDM based standards have been proposed for satellite communication. However, the problem of high Peak to Average Power Ratio is one of the main obstacles for the implementation of OFDM based system. Many PAPR reduction schemes have been proposed for OFDM systems. Among these, the partial transmit sequences (PTS) is attractive as they obtain better PAPR property by modifying OFDM signals without distortion. In this paper, considering the complexity issue, we present a simplified minimum maximum (minimax) criterion and Sub-Optimal PTS algorithm to optimize the phase factor. This algorithm can be dynamically made tradeoff`f between performance and complexity on demand. In addition, we integrate guided scrambling (GS) with this method. Simulation in multiple antenna based OFDM system proves that the proposed Hybrid schemes can get much more PAPR reduction and do not require transmission of side information (SI). Thus it is helpful when implementing OFDM technique in satellite communication system.

In this paper, we describe a new 1/4 rate robust modulation techniques for Enhanced-x VSB system which is fully backward compatible with ATSC 8-VSB standard. 1/4 rate mode Enhanced-xVSB system provides broadcasters with a wide choice of trade-offs of data rate vs amount of robustness of enhanced data for pedestrian/mobile services. Lab test results of proposed Enhanced-xVSB 1/4 rate mode robust stream are a significantly improved multipath as well as AWGN reception performance for Enhanced-xVSB receiver. We suggest an Enhanced-xVSB terrestrial broadcasting system for ATSC HDTV and pedestrian/portable TV simultaneous broadcasting service providing.

최근 정보통신 기술의 급속한 발전으로 소형 이동형 단말기를 이용한 각종 스포츠 경기 시청이 두드러지게 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이동형 단말기를 통해 제공되는 영상은 일반 TV나 HDTV용으로 제작되어 소형 이동형 단말기의 사용자가 화면을 통해 스포츠 경기의 상황을 인식하는데 많은 불편함을 주고 있다. 특히, 경기 진행 시간이나 점수를 포함하는 점수상자(scoreboard)는 경기의 상황을 파악하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하나, 소형 이동형 단말기의 작은 화면에서는 점수상자의 내용을 정확히 인식하기가 쉽지 않다. 이에 본 논문은 많은 사람들이 즐겨보는 축구 경기에 대하여 짧은 학습 기간을 갖는 효율적인 점수상자 추출 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 전수상자와 주변 환경의 밝기 정보를 이용한 점수상자 경계 좌표 추출, 학습을 통한 최적의 경계 좌표 결정, 전수상자 영역 추출 및 확대의 세 단계로 구성된다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 점수상자가 없는 프레임에서도 몇 프레임 앞서 표시된 점수상자의 저장을 통해 디스플레이가 가능하도록 하였다. 다양한 축구경기 비디오에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 소형 이동형 단말기 상에서 점수상자를 추출하고 이를 사용자가 쉽게 인식할 수 있도록 확대하여 디스플레이 하는 좋은 해결책임을 보이고자 한다.

DTV-to-DMB 비디오 변환을 위해서는 기본적으로 MPEG-2 MP@HL의 HDTV/SDTV급 영상을 MPEG-4 AVC BP@1.3의 QCIF/QVGA/WDF/CIF급 영상으로 변환하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DTV-to-DMB 비디오 변환을 위해 DTV의 고해상도 영상을 DMB의 저해상도 영상으로 축소하는 방식을 제안하고 있다. DTV-to-DMB 비디오 변환은 실시간 변환이 고려되어야 하며, 실시간 변환을 위해서는 축소 방식의 시간 복잡도가 고려 되어야 한다. 일반적으로 낮은 시간 복잡도를 갖는 영상 축소 방식으로는 대상 영상의 하나의 픽셀을 참조 영상 내 대응하는 픽셀들 중 한 픽셀을 선택하여 결정하는 방식(Just Get A Pixel)이 있으며, 참조 영상의 대응하는 픽셀들의 평균값을 선택하는 방식 (Average Shrink)과 중간값을 선택하는 방식 (Median Shrink)이 있다. 한편, DTV 영상은 인터레이스 방식을사용하며 DMB의 프로그레시브 방식 영상으로 변환 처리 과정에서, 움직임이 큰 영상에 대해 사물의 윤곽선이 계단 모양으로 보이는 재그 에지 (Jagged Edge) 현상이 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 대상 영상의 한 픽셀을 참조 영상의 대응하는 픽셀들 중 중간 위치의 몇 개 픽셀들과 주변 인접 픽셀들을 선출하여 그것들의 평균값 (Average)을 구하여 결정하는 Center Average 축소 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 기본적인 축소 방식을 기반으로 하여 낮은 시간 복잡도를 갖으며, 재그 에지 (Jagged Edge) 현상을 줄여 준다.

As high-definition television(HDTV) broadcasting becoming more generalized, there have been many researches and developments about a large storage capacity and a fast data transfer rate in optical disk drives (ODD). Pickup actuators must have high flexible mode frequencies and large gain margins. Flexible modes are caused by the flexibility of moving parts in the actuator and a servo bandwidth is limited by them. As a result, the system becomes unstable for high-speed operations in high density reading and recording. In this paper, we suggest improved modeling method in considering of the bonding layer. And, the flexible mode frequency of actuator is improved by Design of Experiments of lens holder. The Magnet circuit is designed considering the relation with the moving part. Through improving the yoke design, the magnetic flux is changed and the DC tilt is reduced. Consequently, we designed an actuator which has a high flexible mode frequency and a large gain margins.

In the grand alliance (GA) HDTV receiver, a coherent detection is empolyed for coherent demodulation of vestigial side-band (VSB) signal by using frequency and phaselocked loop(FPLL) operating on the pilot carrier. Additional phase tracking loop (PTL) employed to track out phase noise that has not been removed by the FPLL in theGA system. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for phase detection which utilizes a weighting function. The simplest implementation of the proposed algorithm using te sign of the Q channel component can be tractable by imposing a phase detection gain to the loop gain. It is obserbed that the propsoed algorithm has a robust characteristic against the performance of the digital filters used for Q channel estimation. A second goal of this paper is to introduce a gain control algorithm for the PTL in order to provide an effective implementation of the proposed phase detection algorithm. And we design the PTL through the realization of the simplified digital filter for H/W reduction. The proposed algorithms and the designed PTL are evaluated by computer simulation. In spite of using the simplified H/W structure, simulation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the coventional PTL algorithms in the phase detection and tracking performance.

In recent years, multicast services such as high-definition television (HDTV), video conferencing, interactive distance learning, and distributed games have increased exponentially, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks are considered to be a promising technology due to their support for multicast applications. Multicast survivability in WDM networks has been the focus of extensive attention since a single-link failure in an optical network may result in a massive loss of data. But the improvement of network survivability increases energy consumption due to more resource allocation for protection. In this paper, an energy-efficient multicast algorithm (EEMA) is proposed to reduce energy consumption in WDM networks. Two cost functions are defined based on the link state to determine both working and protection paths for a multicast request in WDM networks. To increase the number of sleeping links, the link cost function of the working path aims to integrate new working path into the links with more working paths. Sleeping links indicate the links in sleep mode, which do not have any working path. To increase bandwidth utilization by sharing spare capacity, the cost function of the protection path is defined to use sleeping fibers for establishing new protection paths. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of energy consumption, and also the blocking probability is evaluated under various traffic environments through OPNET. Simulation results show that our algorithm reduces energy consumption while maintaining the quality of service.

It designs the general description of 8-VSB DTV transmission system will be installed and operated in future on the basis of NTSC TV transmission system in operation now. First of all, it investigates a condition that can maintain optimum received field in case of ground wave broadcasting with analog NTSC and digital 8-VSB DTV. Also it calculates critical value of minimum field strength fur receiving by using field strength calculation method of Longley-Rice. The 8-VSB DTV transmission sets its goal in transmission of data with 19.39Mbps at high speed in order to be available of HDTV in the band of NTSC 6MHz. Accordingly, the optimum of field strength between transmission and receiving points most of all is important problem. So,8-VSB DTV transmission should be enlarged or effective compared with NTSC service coverage. This study is to calculate the transmission power necessary in switching from NTSC VHF to DTV UHF and from NTSC UHF to DTV UHF for maintaining service coverage that NTSC is equal to 8-VSB DTV as a result of calculation.

Broadcasting services such as multi/single channel HDTV and 3DTV/2DTV use a multi-channel encoder that changes the bitrate and composition of the video service depending on the time. However, this type of multi-channel encoder could cause a longer latency owing to the variable bitrate and relatively bigger size of the buffers, which results in the same delay as in 3DTV even for a conventional DTV service. On the other hand, systems built based on separate encoders, each of which is optimized for the target service, might not have such latency problems. Nevertheless, there might be a distortion problem in the image and sound at the time of a switchover between two encoders with different output bitrates and group of picture structures. This paper proposes a system that can realize a seamless video service conversion using two different video encoders optimized for each video service. An overall functional description of the video service change control server, which is a main control block for the proposed system, is also provided. The experiment results confirm the seamless switchover and reduced broadcasting latency of DTV services compared with a broadcasting system composed of a multi-channel encoder system.
