오디오 대역 확장 기술은 저 해상도의 오디오 신호를 고 해상도의 오디오 신호로 복원 또는 생성해 내는 기술이다. 이와 관련하여 오디오 코덱에서는 고 대역 오디오 신호의 저 비트 부호화를 위해 사람이 청각이 둔감하게 인지하는 고 대역의 오디오 신호에 대해 실제 신호에 대한 양자화를 수행하지 않고, 코딩 되어 전송된 저 대역 신호와 고 대역의 파라미터를 이용하여 신호를 합성하는 스펙트럼 대역 복제 기술이 널리 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 선형 예측 기반의 주파수 대역 복제 방법을 통해 추가 정보를 활용한 오디오 대역 확장을 수행하고 신경망 기반의 오디오 신호 개선을 통해 복제된 신호의 개선 가능성을 검토하였다. 실험 평가는 MPEG 에서 코덱 평가용으로 사용되는 테스트 시퀀스를 사용하였으며, 실험 결과 제안하는 방법을 적용하여 기존 오디오 대역 확장 기술 대비 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

The process of transmitting messages through a medium with a limited bandwidth or channel dispersion inevitably involves signal distortion and noise influxes, resulting in the degradation of transmission quality due to the inter-symbol interference and additional noise, which increases the error rate of the received symbols. The main role of the equalizer is to remove the channel distortion and noise from the received signal to recover the transmitted messages. A number of studies on the equalizer composed of a combination of linear filter and error control coding have shown that they played a key role in enhancing the transmission efficiency, which is essential for digital communication. This paper proposes a new algorithm to correct the residual symbol errors in the message signal. In general, equalizer performance improvement algorithms were developed to improve the initial convergence speed or steady-state error. In this paper, however, the equalizer input signal was reconstructed using the equalizer decision symbols and the channel estimates to directly correct the decision errors by analyzing the statistical characteristics of the difference signal between the actual received signal and the reconstructed signal.

This paper is concerned with the performance comparison of CR-CMA (Coordinate Reduction-CMA) and CM-CMA (Constellation Matching-Constant Modulus Algorithm) that is used for improving the convergence characteristic and residual intersymbol interference which are used as the performance index for an adaptive equalizer. The equalizer is used to reduce the distortion caused by the intersymbol interference on the wireless and the wired band-limited channel, and the blind method which does not need for extra bandwidth by the training sequence of digital code are researched. Recently, by using the merit of simple operation in the CMA, the performance improvement is obtained by the modifying the cost function of it. In this paper, the new algorithm, CR-CMA and CM-CMA, the performance analysis are performed and compared by computer simulation. The CR-CMA has a superior equalization characteristics in the recovered constellation, convergence speed and residual intersymbol interference than the CM-CMA by computer simulation.

IoT technology that utilizes wireless body area networks (WBAN) and biosensors is an important field in the health industry to minimize resources and monitor patients. In order to integrate IoT and WBAN, a cooperative protocol that constitutes WBAN's limited sensor nodes and rapid routing for efficient data transmission is required. In this paper we propose an we propose an energy efficient and cooperative link energy-efficient routing strategy(LEERS) to solve the problems of redundant data transmission detection and limited network sensor lifetime extention. The proposed scheme considers the hop count node congestion level towards the residual energy sink and bandwidth and parameters. In addition, by determining the path cost function and providing effective multi-hop routing, it is shown that the existing method is improved in terms of residual energy and throughput

The necessity of transmitting video data over a narrow-bandwidth exists steadily despite that video service over broadband is common. In this paper, we propose a scalable video coding framework for low-resolution video transmission over a very narrow-bandwidth network by super-resolution of decoded frames of a base layer using a convolutional neural network based super resolution technique to improve the coding efficiency by using it as a prediction for the enhancement layer. In contrast to the conventional scalable high efficiency video coding (SHVC) standard, in which upscaling is performed with a fixed filter, we propose a scalable video coding framework that replaces the existing fixed up-scaling filter by using the trained convolutional neural network for super-resolution. For this, we proposed a neural network structure with skip connection and residual learning technique and trained it according to the application scenario of the video coding framework. For the application scenario where a video whose resolution is $352{\times}288$ and frame rate is 8fps is encoded at 110kbps, the quality of the proposed scalable video coding framework is higher than that of the SHVC framework.

We demonstrate a simulation of a parallel hybrid fiber amplifier in the C+L-band with a gain controlling technique. A variable optical coupler is used to control the input signal power for both EDFA and RFA branches. The gain spectra of the C+L-band are flattened by optimizing the coupling ratio of the input signal power. In order to enhance the pump conversion efficiency, the EDFA branch was pumped by the residual Raman pump power. A gain bandwidth of 60 nm from 1530 nm to 1590 nm is obtained with large input signal power less than -5 dBm. The gain variation is about 1.06 dB at a small input signal power of -30 dBm, and it is reduced to 0.77 dB at the large input signal power of -5 dBm. The experimental results show close agreement with the simulation results.

ATM Form has defined the guaranteed frame rate (GFR) service to provide minimum cell rate (MCR) guarantees for TCP traffic in ATM networks and allow it to fairly share residual bandwidth. GFR switch implementation consists of the frame-based generic cell rate algorithm (F-GCRA) and a frame forwarding mechanism. The F-GCRA identifies frames that are eligible for an MCR guarantee. The frame forwarding mechanism buffers cells at a frame unit according to information provided by the F-GCRA and forwards the buffered cells to an output port according to its scheduling discipline. A simple GFR mechanism with shared buffer with a global threshold is a feasible implementation mechanism, but has been known that it is insufficient to guarantee the MCR. This paper has estimated performance of GFR service for TCP traffic over ATM switches with the simple FIFO-based mechanism

Many web cache systems and policies concerning them have been proposed. These studies, however, consider large objects less useful than small objects in terms of performance, and evict them as soon as possible. Even if this approach increases the hit rate, the byte hit rate decreases and the connections occurring over congested links to outside networks waste more bandwidth in obtaining large objects. This paper puts forth a client-cluster approach for improving the web cache system. The client-cluster is composed of the residual resources of clients and utilizes them as exclusive storage for large objects. This proposed system achieves not only a high hit rate but also a high byte hit rate, while reducing outgoing traffic. The distributed hash table (DHT) based peer-to-peer lookup protocol is utilized to manage the client-cluster. With the natural characteristics of this protocol, the proposed system with the client-cluster is self-organizing, fault-tolerant, well-balanced, and scalable. Additionally, the large objects are managed with an index based allocation method, which balances the loads of all clients well. The performance of the cache system is examined via a trace driven simulation and an effective enhancement of the proxy cache performance is demonstrated.

In this study, we developed the biometric ultrasound transducer, residual thickness measurement algorithm and optimized ultrasound operation methods to diagnose precise conditions of implanted medical prosthetic material inserted during total hip artificial joint replacement. In detail, ultrasound transducers having 8 MHz and 20 MHz center frequencies with similar sensitivity and bandwidth were fabricated to measure various thicknesses of commercial polyethylene-based artificial hip liners, resulting in a comparative analysis of signal-to-noise ratio and axial resolution to conduct an optimization study of ultrasound operations in vivo.
