This paper contributes to an improvement of the statistical bandwidth extension(BWE) system based on Hidden Markov Model(HMM). First, the existing HMM training method for BWE, which is suggested originally by Jax, is analyzed in comparison with the general Baum-Welch training method. Next, based on this analysis, a new HMM-based BWE method is suggested which adopts the Baum-Welch re-estimation algorithm instead of the Jax's to train HMM model. Conclusionally speaking, the Baum-Welch re-estimation algorithm is a generalized form of the Jax's training method. It is flexible and adaptive in modeling the statistical characteristic of training data. Therefore, it generates a better model to the training data, which results in an enhanced BWE system. According to experimental results, the new method performs much better than the Jax's BWE systemin all cases. Under the given test conditions, the RMS log spectral distortion(LSD) scores were improved ranged from 0.31dB to 0.8dB, and 0.52dB in average.

This paper analyzes the relationship between two representative statistical methods for bandwidth extension (BWE): Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) ones, and compares their performances. The HMM method is a memory-based system which was developed to take advantage of the inter-frame dependency of speech signals. Therefore, it could be expected to estimate better the transitional information of the original spectra from frame to frame. To verify it, a dynamic measure that is an approximation of the 1st-order derivative of spectral function over time was introduced in addition to a static measure. The comparison result shows that the two methods are similar in the static measure, while, in the dynamic measure, the HMM method outperforms explicitly the GMM one. Moreover, this difference increases in proportion to the number of states of HMM model. This indicates that the HMM method would be more appropriate at least for the 'blind BWE' problem. On the other hand, nevertheless, the GMM method could be treated as a preferable alternative of the HMM one in some applications where the static performance and algorithm complexity are critical.

In this paper, we develop radio resource management queueing model in IEEE 802.IS networks considering both connection and packet level. In the upper level connection, we model connection admission control depending on availability of bandwidth and priority queue in each service class. In the lower level packet, we model dynamic bandwidth allocation considering threshold and availability of bandwidth in each service class simultaneously. Hierarchical model is built using an extended Petri Nets, SRN (Stochastic Reward Nets). Bandwidth utilization and normal throughput as performance index for all service classes of traffic are calculated and numerical results are obtained.

This paper introduces a ring hybrid coupler using shunt capacitors, high impedance lines and CRLH-TLs (Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Lines) with size reduction and bandwidth enhancement. The reduced method of line length uses to combine a short length high impedance line and shunt capacitors. Also, there is combined CRLH meta-material so as to obtain wide bandwidth of transmission line using nonlinear phase characteristic of CRLH-TL that consists of series capacitors and shunt inductors. The implemented ring hybrid coupler shows a novel design with compact size that is smaller than 10% and bandwidth is larger than 60% of conventional ring hybrid coupler.

VLIW processor is considered to be an appropriate processor for the embedded system, provided with high performance and low power con-sumption due to its simple hardware structure. Unfortunately, the VLIW processor often suffers from high memory access latency due to the variable length of I-packets, which consist of independent instructions to be issued in parallel. It is because of the variable I-packet length that some I-packets must be placed over two cache blocks, which are called straddle I-packets, so that two cache accesses are required to fetch such I-packets. In this paper, an expansion buffer cache is proposed to improve not only the instruction fetch bandwidth, but also the power consumption of the I-cache with moderate hardware cost. The expansion buffer cache has a small expansion buffer containing a fraction of a straddle packet along with the main cache to reduce the additional cache accesses due to the straddle I-packets. With a great reduction in the cache accesses due to the straddle packets, the expansion buffer cache can achieve $5{\~}9{\%}$improvement over the conventional I-caches in the $Delay{\cdot}Power{\cdot}Area$ metric.

차세대 고속 무선망에서는 신뢰성이 높고 광전송로를 근간으로 하는 유선망의 멀티미디어 응용지원의 확장으로 유무선 종합 정보 통신망의 구현을 목표로 하고 있다. 현재 기존의 유선망에서는 멀티미디어 응용 지원을 위해 QoS Provisioning에 관한 많은 연구가 되어 있으나 무선망에서의 이동성과 무선 전파의 열악한 전송으로 인해 새로운 QoS Provisioning 방법에 관한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 지연에 민감한 실시간 트래픽의 QoS보장을 위하여 이동 터미널의 속도에 따라 이웃 셀의 대역폭을 예약함로써 핸드오프를 대비하고, 효육적인 무선 자원의 사용을 위해 적응적으로 예약된 대역폭의 양을 조정하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 트래픽 종류와 호의 종류, 터미널의 속도에 따라 다른 우선 순위를 부여하여 우선순위에 기반한 호 수락 제어 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 기존에 제안된 방법과 성능 비교한다.

MPLS에서 ATM의 스위칭 기능은 인터넷 백본망에 대해 효율적인 전송을 제공할 것이다. 특히, VC merging은 다수의 IP 경로와 한 VC 레이블간의 대응을 가능케 함으로써 망의 확장 시에도 유연하게 대처 할 수 있다. 이미 VC merge 관련 메커니즘들이 제안되어 있으나 단지 best-effort 트래픽에 대해서만 가능하며 다중 클래스 트래픽에 대해 각 QoS를 충족시키는 구체적인 방안은 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 각 클래스의 VC merge시, 동적 대역폭 할당을 적용해 merge된 트래픽의 QoS를 만족시키는 메커니즘 및 ATM-LSR의 구조를 제안한다. 아울러, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 동적 VC 대역폭 할당 방안에 대한 성능 평가를 수행하였다.

In this paper, a new design for a Coplanar Waveguide(CPW) fed wide-band slot antenna is presented. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the slot antenna, we proposed the tapering slot structure. A various resonance modes are generated in the tapering slot. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is about 13:1(2.0 GHz∼25.9 GHz) with VSWR$\leq$2. Simulation and measurement results for return loss and radiation pattern are presented.

In Diffserv Network, RIO is the most effective active queue management algorithm. RIO, the enhanced queue management algorithm from RED, divides IN and OUT packets and manages them differently. one of the main problems for the implementation of RIO is the Bandwidth Skew problem for providing the Assured Service. In this paper, we will show the bandwidth skew problem in RIO and provide an enhanced RIO mechanism that will alleviate the bandwidth skew problem.
