Mobile WiMAX does not guarantee the media qualities because it does not consider the characteristics of video coding techniques. In this paper, PC-MCA(Priority-based Combining adaptive Modulation and Coding with ARQ), a priority based channel-adaptive streaming scheme, is proposed to guarantee media qualities. PC-MCA uses QoS scheduler by scheduling priority of the media and differentially controls modulation and coding schemes according to wireless channel condition and frame priorities. It also guarantees multimedia service quality through video decoding reliability.

In this paper, an adaptive cosine transform coding scheme which incorporate human visual properties into the coding scheme is investigated. Human vision is relatively sensitive to mid-frequency band, and insensitive to very low and very high frequency band. These property was mathematically modelled with MTF(Modulation Transfer Function) through many psychovisual experiment. DCT transforms energy in spatial domain into frequency domain, so can exploit the MTF very efficiently. Another well-known visual characteristics is spatial masking effect that visibility of noise is less in regions of high activity than in regions of low activity. Proposed coding scheme imploys quantization matrix which represent the properties of these spatial frequency response of human vision, and adaptively quality of an image. To compute the activity index of an image block, simple operation is performed in spatial domain, and according to activity index. block of low activity region is more exactly quantized relatively than that of high activity region. Results showed that, at low bit rate, the subjective quality of the reconstructed images by proposed coding scheme is acceptible than that of coding scheme without HVS properties.

In this paper, a new trellis-coded differential unitary space-time modulation (TC-DUSTM) scheme based on amplitude/phase-shift-keying (APSK) signals is proposed. In particular, the design criterion of the trellis coding is proposed to combine the trellis coding and DUSTM scheme based on APSK constellation. From the computer simulations, we verify the superiority of the proposed TC-DUSTM based on APSK signals at the higher transmission rate. In addition, the proposed scheme can suppress the irreducible error of the differential scheme.

We propose a link adaptation and selection method for the links constituting an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless relay network. The proposed link adaptation and selection method selects the forwarding, modulation, and channel coding schemes providing the highest end-to-end throughput and decides whether to use the relay or not. The link adaptation and selection is done for each sub-channel based on instantaneous signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) conditions in the source-to-destination, source-to-relay and relay-to-destination links. The considered forwarding schemes are amplify and forward (AF) and simple adaptive decode and forward (DF). Efficient adaptive modulation and coding decision rules are provided for various relaying schemes. The proposed end-to-end link adaptation and selection method ensures that the end-to-end throughput is always larger than or equal to that of transmissions without relay and non-adaptive relayed transmissions. Our evaluations show that over the region where relaying improves the end-to-end throughput, the DF scheme provides significant throughput gain over the AF scheme provided that the error propagation is avoided via error detection techniques. We provide a frame structure to enable the proposed link adaptation and selection method for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-time division duplex relay networks based on the IEEE 802.16e standard.

본 논문에서는 링크 상황에 따라서 변복조 방식과 코딩 방식을 달리하는 기술인 AMC(Adaptive Modulation and Coding)기능과 연동하는 2 단계 ARQ(Automatic Repeat Request)방식을 제안하여 한정된 무선채널을 여러 종류의 서비스와 여러 가입자가 동시에 공유하는 경우에 발생되는 QoS(Quality of Service) 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 제안한 2 단계 ARQ 방식은 MAC(Medium Access Control) 계층에 위치하여 상위 계층으로부터 IP(Internet Protocol) packet 를 수신한 후 2 단계의 ARQ 동작을 수행함으로써 물리 채널에서 전송 중에 발생되는 오류 확률을 감소시킨다. 따라서 TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)단에서의 재전송 감소에 의한 향상된 성능도 기대할 수가 있겠다.

In this paper we proposed the reducing method of feedback information for transmitting of adaptable data rate in multi-user OFDMA/FDD systems. In order to transmit downlink channel information to Base-Station(BS) through the limited uplink control channel, the proposed algorithm exploits the channel variation level which describes the similarity among the adjacent clusters and uses just one modulation and coding scheme(MCS) level representing channel information of all clusters'. We investigated the performance in single cell environment. It has a similar overhead for feedback information with conventional algorithm and has better performance in that bandwidth efficiency and outage probability than the conventional algorithms.

We propose an unbiased signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimator for the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) system. The proposed SIR estimator solves the problem of underestimation present in conventional SIR estimators and is suitable for channel quality measurement in the adaptive modulation and coding scheme of HSDPA, which requires accurate SIR estimation for optimum adaptive modulation and coding selection. Our analysis and simulation results demonstrate the improved estimation performance of the proposed SIR estimator.

In recent days, cooperative diversity and communication security become important research issues for wireless communications. In this paper, to achieve low probability of interception (LPI) and high throughput in the cooperative single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system, a new physical layer transmission scheme is proposed, where a new encryption algorithm is applied and adaptive modulation is further considered based on channel state information (CSI). By doing so, neither relay node nor eavesdropper can intercept the information signals transmitted from user terminal (UT). Simulation results show above new physical layer transmission scheme brings in high transmission safety and secrecy rate. Furthermore, by applying adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) technique according to CSI, transmission throughput can be increased significantly. Additionally, low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) characteristic can still be remained due to the uniform distribution of random coefficients used for encryption algorithm.

A new joint source channel coding reduces both input-width and average current consumption to transmit image data to LCD source drivers. As a source coding, it is based on entropy coding of differential pulse code modulation scheme, especially using median edge detector of image predictor. As a channel coding, it is not a simple pulse amplitude modulation, but linked by source entropy to reduce average amplitude. Simulation results show 1/4 width is achievable by 16-valued transmission with keeping conventional current consumption (0.36 to 1.3).

In this paper, we propose a biorthogonal modulation employing a constant-amplitude transmission of multi-code signals by introducing a simple constant-amplitude coding scheme with redundant bits. The proposed constant-amplitude biorthogonal multi-code (CABM) modulation can provide high spectral efficiency compared with a conventional direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) modulation. Nevertheless the proposed CABM modulation can keep up a constant-amplitude signal. Additionally, we propose various types of demodulation structures for the CABM modulation. Simulation results show that bit error rate (BER) performance and hardware complexity of the proposed CABM modulation are highly improved in comparison with those of a constant-amplitude orthogonal multi-code (CAOM) modulation.
