In this paper, we propose a novel precoder selection technique for maximum-likelihood (ML) detected spatially multiplexed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Previous precoder selection techniques were designed without considering UEP, however the proposed technique is designed considering multi-antenna unequal error protection (UEP). Simulations demonstrate the improved multi-antenna UEP performance by the proposed technique.

We investigate the rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes concatenated with hierarchical QAM for designing a cross-layer unequal error protection scheme for H.264 coded sequences. We first divide the H.264 encoded video slices into three priority classes based on their relative importance. We investigate the system constraints and propose an optimization formulation to compute the optimal parameters of the proposed system for the given source significance information. An upper bound to the significance-weighted bit error rate in the proposed system is derived as a function of system parameters, including the code rate and geometry of the constellation. An example is given with design rules for H.264 video communications and 3.5-4 dB PSNR improvement over existing RCPC based techniques for AWGN wireless channels is shown through simulations.

Scalable video streaming over wireless networks has many challenges. The most significant challenge is related to packet loss. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose an unequal loss protection (ULP) method using a new forward error correction (FEC) mechanism for robust scalable video streaming over wireless networks. For an efficient FEC assignment considering video quality, we first introduce a simple and efficient performance metric, the layer-based recovery rate (LRR), for quantifying the unequal error propagation effects of the temporal and quality layers on the basis of packet losses. LRR is based on the unequal importance in both the temporal and the quality layers of a hierarchical scalable video coding structure. Then, the proposed ULP-LRR method assigns an appropriate number of FEC packets on the basis of the LRR to protect the video layers against packet lossy network environments. Compared with conventional ULP algorithms, the proposed ULP-LRR algorithm demonstrates a higher performance for various error-prone wireless channel statuses.

In data transmission system, some data are more sensitive to channel errors. Unequal error protection method increases transmission reliability by protecting channel error sensitive data more than other data. However, this method cannot be directly applied to vector quantized signals which are designed by LBG algorithm that assumes no channel distortion in the design, process. Therefore, in this paper, to apply unequal error protection to vector quantized signals, we propose a method which systematically assigns binary indexes to code vectors. We applied the proposed method to the transmission of vector quantized first-order Gauss-Marcov signals assuming that the percentage of the important data is 50%

This Paper presents circuit improvement of 345kV Bus bar protection panel by using VDD (Voltage disturbance detection) relay with distinctive ability between human error in the field test and real facility faults. Therefore, We expect that this improvement of circuit helps decrease of blackout coming from human error. In order to guarantee electric power system reliability, consistent study of human error prevention in the event of field test is necessarily required

GPS(Global Positioning System) service is more important than other wireless services. The GPS is necessary protected from any other interference signals. Therefore, GPS protection ratio was calculated on the basis of bit error rate(BER) in this paper. Simulation results show that the allowable maximum interference power is -190 dBm/Hz and the ratio of interference to noise(I/N) is -16 dB. The achieved protection ratio is available to be applied as the protection criteria of GPS in considering the implementation margin of 4 dB. As a result, the proposed protection ratio of GPS is expected to give standard for a stable GPS service.

In this paper, we propose an unequal protection physical coding sub-layer (PCS) forward error correction (FEC) scheme for efficient and high-quality transmission of video data over optical access networks. Through identifying and resolving the unequal importance of different video frames and passing this importance information from MAC-layer to PCS, FEC scheme of PCS can be adaptive to application-layer data. Meanwhile, we jointly consider the different channel situations of optical network unit (ONU) and improve the efficiency of FEC redundancy by channel adaptation. We develop a theoretical algorithm and a hardware method to achieve efficient FEC assignment for the proposed unequal protection scheme. The theoretical FEC assignment algorithm is to obtain the optimal FEC redundancy allocation vector that results in the optimum performance index, namely frame error rate, based on the identified differential importance and channel situations. The hardware method aims at providing a realistic technical path with negligible hardware cost increment compared with the traditional FEC scheme. From the simulation results, the proposed Channel and Application-layer data Adaptation Unequal Protection (CAAUP) FEC scheme along with the FEC ratio assignment algorithm and the hardware method illustrates the ability of efficient and high-quality transmission of video data against the random errors in the channel of optical access networks.

최근 들어 디지털 이동통신 시스템은 음성 통신 뿐만 아니라 멀티미디어 통신에도 그 적용범위를 확장시키고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시스템에서 한정된 채널 대역폭의 사용은 멀티미디어 정보의 대용량성을 고려할 때, 그 적용범위를 심각하게 축소시키는 가장 큰 제한요소이다. 일반적인 통신 시스템의 소스 부호화기는 채널 잡음을 고려하지 않고 설계되며, 채널 부호화기는 소스 신호의 특성과 무관하게 채널 환경의 극복에만 중점을 두고 설계된다. 그러나 대역폭 제한적인 통신 환경에서 보다 효율적인 대역폭 사용을 위해서는 채널 환경에 따라 소스 부호율과 채널 부호율을 가변적으로 운용하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 영상을 부대역 부호화하여 각 부대역 영상이 원래의 영상 재구성에 기여하는 중요도에 따라 한정된 채널 자원을 최적으로 할당하는 공동 소스/채널 부호화(Joint Source-channel Coding)에 관하여 연구하였다. 부대역 영상의 소스 부호화로는 DPCM과 PCM을 사용하였고, 채널 부호화는 TCM 부호화기를 사용하였으며 상이오류보호(Unequal Error Protection)를 위해 3가지 채널 부호율에 따라 각각 TCQPSK, TC8PSK, TC16PSK 변조방식을 사용하였다. 모의실험에 사용된 채널 환경은 랜덤잡음 환경과 이동수신의 경우에 발생하는 Rayleigh 페이딩 환경을 고려하였으며, 각 환경에서의 채널 SNR에 따라 동일오류보호(Equal Error Protection) 시스템과 상이오류보호(Unequal Error Protection) 시스템의 성능을 비교하였다.

Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite (DVB-S) [1] (EN 300 421(bibliography)) was introduced as a standard in 1994. However, by combing with higher order modulation, promise more powerful alternatives to the DVB-S / DVB-DSNG coding and modulation schemes. Variable rate coding and modulation (VCM) may employed to provide different levels of error protection to different service components. Adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) provides more exact channel protection and dynamic link adaptation to propagation conditions, targeting each individual receiving terminal. By these reasons, DVB-S2 introduced. This paper derives exact symbol error rate(SER) of 16-Amplitude Phase Shift Keying(APSK) modulation by using Craig's formula. 16-APSK modulation is used in DVB-S2. The difference between Union Bound and Craig's formula is 1.26dB in low SNR and 0.1dB in high SNR.
