Underwater acoustic communication has multi path error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, we consider the use of various channel coding schemes such as RS code, convolutional code, cross-layer code and LDPC code in order to compensate the multipath effect in underwater channel. As shown in simulation results, characteristic of multipath error is similar to that of random error, so interleaver has little effect for error correcting. For correcting of error floor by multipath error, it is necessary strong channel codes like LDPC code that is similar to Shannon's limit. And the performance of concatenated codes including RS codes has better performance than using singular channel codes.

Reed-Solomon(RS) codes have been employed to correct burst errors in applications such as CD-ROM, HDTV, ATM and digital VCRs. For the decoding RS codes, the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm, Euclidean algorithm and modified Euclidean algorithm(MEA) have been developed among which the MEA becomes the most popular decoding scheme. We propose an efficient recursive cell architecture suitable for the MEA. The advantages of the proposed scheme are twofold. First, The proposed architecture uses about 25% less clock cycles required in the MEA operation than[1]. Second, the number of recursive MEA cells can be reduced, when the number of clock cycles spent in the MEA operation is larger than code word length n. thereby buffer requirement for the received words can be reduced. For demonstration, the MEA circurity for (128,124) RS code have been described and the MEA operation is verified through VHDL.

We consider the use of error control coding in direct sequence-code-division multiple access (OS-COMA) systems that employ multiuser detection (MUO) and space diversity. The relative performance gain between Reed-Solomon (RS) code and convolutional code (CC) is well known in [1] for the single user, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. In this case, RS codes outperform CC's at high signal-to-noise ratios. We find that this is not the case for the multiuser interference channel mentioned above. For useful error rates, we find that soft-decision CC's to be uniformly better than RS codes when used with DS-COMA modulation in multiuser space-time channels. In our development, we use the Gaussian approximation on the interference to determine performance error bounds for systems with low number of users. Then, we check their accuracy in error rate estimation via system's simulation. These performance bounds will in turn allow us to consider a large number of users where we can estimate the gain in user-capacity due to channel coding. Lastly, the use of turbo codes is considered where it is shown that they offer a coding gain of 2.5 dB relative to soft-decision CC.

최근 전화선과 같이 기존에 존재하는 전송선로를 이용하여 고속의 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 DSL 모뎀 개발에 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. DSL 모뎀과 같이 열악한 특성과 제한된 대역폭을 갖는 채널을 통하여 고속의 데이터를 전송하기 위해서는 복잡한 변조방식과 우수한 채널부호(FEC) 알고리즘이 요구된다. 특히, ADSL 시스템 및 VDSL 시스템에서는 다양한 오류정정 능력을 갖는 RS(Reed-Solomon) 부호를 사용하도록 권고하고 있다. 이에 대해, 본 논문에서는 ADSL 및 VDSL 시스템의 권고 안(오류정정 능력(t) = 0∼8)을 만족하는 RS 부호를 한 조의 RS 부호기 및 복호기로 대체할 수 있는 설계구조를 제시한다. 제시된 구조는 8조의 RS 부호가 갖는 면적의 약 23%만으로, t=8인 RS 부호에 대해 약 6%의 추가 면적으로 설계할 수 있다.

The DAB system was designed to provide CD quality audio and data services for fixed, portable and mobile applications with the required BER below $10^{-4}$. However for the T-DMB system with the video service of MPEG-4 stream, BER should go down $10^{-8}$ by adding FEC blocks which consist of the Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder/decoder and convolutional interleaver/deinterleaver. In this paper we propose two types of turbo coded T-DMB system without altering the puncturing procedure and puncturing vectors defined in the standard T-DMB system for compatibility. One(Type 1) can replace the existing RS code, convolutional interleaver and RCPC code by a turbo code and the other one (Type 2) can substitute the existing RCPC code by a turbo code. Simulation results show that two new turbo coded systems are able to yield considerable performance gain after just 2 iterations. Type 2 system is better than type 1 but the amount of performance improvement is small.

Proton treatment may deliver a larger dose to a patient's skin than traditional photon therapy, especially when a range shifter (RS) is inserted in the beam path. This study investigated the effects of an RS on skin dose while considering RS with different thicknesses, airgaps and materials. First, the physical model of the scanning nozzle with RS was established in the TOol for PArticle Simulation (TOPAS) code, and the effects of the RS on the skin dose were studied. Second, the variations in the skin dose and isocenter beam size were examined by reducing the air gap. Finally, the effects of different RS materials, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Lexan, polyethylene and polystyrene, on the skin dose were analysed. The results demonstrated that the current RS design had a negligible effect on the skin dose, whereas the RS significantly impacted the isocenter beam size. The skin dose was increased considerably when the RS was placed close to the phantom. Moreover, the magnitude of the increase was related to the thickness of the inserted RS. Meanwhile, the results also revealed that the secondary proton primarily contributed to the increased skin dose.

RS(10,8) Code by 4-bit symbol was developed to protect the mass memory of STSAT-3 from SEU in orbit. Therefore, one symbol can be corrected for 32-bit data with 8-bit parity configuration. Moreover, scrubbing period and SEU occurrence rate was calculated based on the KITSAT-3 result. A prediction of SEU rates was performed based on the ground experiment results with a proton accelerator in the KIRAMS(Korea Institute of Radiological Medical Sciences).

A practical method of adaptive rate allocation to source and channel codings for an independent loss channel is proposed for Internet video. It is based on the observations that the values of residual loss probabilities at the optimal code rates for different packet loss probabilities are closely clustered to the average residual loss probability for a transmission frame size n in RS(n,k) code and for a total bit rate R. These observations aye then exploited to find the code rate for maximum PSNR. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a near-optimal bit-rate allocation in the joint source-channel coding of H.263 and RS(n,k) codings.
