We consider a distributed estimation where many nodes remotely placed at known locations collect the measurements of the parameter of interest, quantize these measurements, and transmit the quantized data to a fusion node; this fusion node performs the parameter estimation. Noting that quantizers at nodes should operate in a non-regular framework where multiple codewords or quantization partitions can be mapped from a single measurement to improve the system performance, we propose a low-weight estimation algorithm that finds the most feasible combination of codewords. This combination is found by computing the weighted sum of the possible combinations whose weights are obtained by counting their occurrence in a learning process. Otherwise, tremendous complexity will be inevitable due to multiple codewords or partitions interpreted from non-regular quantized data. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides a statistically significant performance gain with low complexity as compared to typical estimation techniques.

In this paper, we propose a temporal adaptive tranform 3D SBC coder with motion compensation, exploiting redundancy in the temporal domain. We propose a temporal adaptivity measure, by which the R-D optimal temporal transform can be chaosen. The base temporal subband frame is coded using H.261-like MC-DCT coder, while the higher temporal subband frames are coded using the 2D adaptive wavelet packet bases, considering the various energy distribution which results from the temporal variation. In encoding the subbands, we employ adaptive scanning methods, uniform step-size quantization with VLC, and coded/not-coded flag reduction technique using the quadtree structure. From the simulation results, the proposed adaptive 3D subband coder shows about 0.29~3.14 dB gain over the H.261 and the fixed 3D subband coder techniques.

This paper shudies an automatic gain control(AGC) algorithm used in wireless communication cellular systems. The AGC design includes the selection of the appropriate analog-to-digital converter(ADC) and keeping the input power to the ADC constant to minimize the quantization noise generated from the analog-to-digital conversion process. In this paper the process to determine the required precision or the An is illustrated and the method to set the design parameters of the AGC is proposed. And the validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by computer simulation.

We propose a dual-layer differential equal-gain codebook design methodology for LTE-Advanced(LTE-A), IEEE802.ac, and radar system having multiple transmit and receive antennas, and make computer simulations to evaluate its link-level performaces. M-ary phase shift keying constellation is used as its codeword elements to utilize low-cost power amplifiers at mobile stations. Especially, the proposed codebook can meet radar systems requirement for the high-powered equal-gain transmission property. Due to the temporal correlation of the adjacent channel, the proposed differential codebook can quantize only the differential information of the channel instead of the whole channel subspace, which virtually increase the codebook size to realize more accurate quantization of the channel. The proposed codebook has the same properties of LTE codebook that is, constant modulus, complexity reduction, and nested property. Computer simulations show that the proposed codebook performs better than the conventional 8-ary codebooks with the same amount of feedback information.

In this paper, we propose an efficient assignment method that assigns quantization parameter (QP) in accordance with group of picture (GOP) structure given in HEVC encoder. Each video frames can have difference QP values based on given GOP configuration for HEVC encoding. Particularly, for important frames we can assign low QP values, and vice versa. However, there has not been thorough investigation on efficient QP assignment method by far. Even in HEVC reference software encoder, only monotonic QP assignment method is employed. Thus, the proposed method assign adaptive QP values to each GOP so that temporal dynamic activity between GOPs can be exploited. Through the experiment, the proposed method showed a 7.3% gain of compression performance in terms of BD-rate compared to HEVC test model (HM) in low-delay configuration, and outperformed the existing QP assignment study on average.

In H.264/AVC, if each block is quantized with a adaptive quantization parameter(QP) regardless of the characteristics of a block, it could be the deterioration of the picture quality. In this paper, an adaptive block-based QP selection method is proposed in order to improve picture quality by utilizing the bit amounts of the zigzag-scanned integer transform coefficients of the neighboring blocks and changing the QP value in the current block. The proposed method works in the same way as the encoder and decoder without transmitting the change of QP value to the decoder side. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a gain of about $0.1\sim0.3dB$ compared with H.264/AVC.

In this paper, BER(Bit Error Ratio) performances of the TransferJet system, which is the standard of a close proximity inductive wireless communication system, are presented and analyzed. Comparing to other wireless communication systems, the TransferJet system has some advantages such as short communication range(i.e., high security in the wireless communication environments), fewer effects of multipath distortion, and higher transmission rate. In order to demodulate the received signal, either SC(Soft-decision Combining) or HC(Hard-decision Combining) can apply to the despreader and demodulator of the receiver. When the spreading factor is more than 4, the SC scheme approximately has a minimum signal-to-noise ratio gain of 2 dB over the HC scheme. Moreover, from simulation results, we can conclude that the quantization bits of 3 bits are an optimum value for the SC scheme in the TransferJet system since the 3-bit quantization achieves nearly the performance as that attained by double-precision floating-point.

This paper examines the security threats to enterprise Generative Artificial Intelligence systems and proposes countermeasures. As AI systems handle vast amounts of data to gain a competitive edge, security threats targeting AI systems are rapidly increasing. Since AI security threats have distinct characteristics compared to traditional human-oriented cybersecurity threats, establishing an AI-specific response system is urgent. This study analyzes the importance of AI system security, identifies key threat factors, and suggests technical and managerial countermeasures. Firstly, it proposes strengthening the security of IT infrastructure where AI systems operate and enhancing AI model robustness by utilizing defensive techniques such as adversarial learning and model quantization. Additionally, it presents an AI security system design that detects anomalies in AI query-response processes to identify insider threats. Furthermore, it emphasizes the establishment of change control and audit frameworks to prevent AI model leakage by adopting the cyber kill chain concept. As AI technology evolves rapidly, by focusing on AI model and data security, insider threat detection, and professional workforce development, companies can improve their digital competitiveness through secure and reliable AI utilization.

In this paper, we propose an effective memory reduction algorithm to reduce the amount of reference frame buffer and memory bandwidth in video encoder and decoder. In general video codecs, decoded previous frames should be stored and referred to reduce temporal redundancy. Recently, reference frames are recompressed for memory efficiency and bandwidth reduction between a main processor and external memory. However, these algorithms could hurt coding efficiency. Several algorithms have been proposed to reduce the amount of reference memory with minimum quality degradation. They still suffer from quality degradation with fixed-bit allocation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive block-based min-max quantization that considers local characteristics of image. In the proposed algorithm, basic process unit is $8{\times}8$ for memory alignment and apply an adaptive quantization to each $4{\times}4$ block for minimizing quality degradation. We found that the proposed algorithm can obtain around 1.7% BD-bitrate gain and 0.03dB BD-PSNR gain, compared with the conventional fixed-bit min-max algorithm with 37.5% memory saving.
