JBIG2, as the next generation standard for binary image compression, must be designed in hardware modules for the JBIG2 FAX to be implemented in an embedded equipment. This paper proposes a hardware module of the high-speed Huffman coder for JBIG2. The Huffman coder of JBIG2 uses selectively 15 Huffman tables. As the Huffman coder is designed to use minimal data and have an efficient memory usage, high speed processing is possible. The designed Huffman coder is ported to Virtex-4 FPGA and co-operating with a software modules on the embedded development board using Microblaze core. The designed IP was successfully verified using the simulation function test and hardware-software co-operating test. Experimental results shows the processing time is 10 times faster than that of software only on embedded system, because of hardware design using an efficient memory usage.

With the emergence of digital TV broadcasting, various TV channels are provided to a TV audience. But it is getting hard for the audience to find his or her preferred TV programs due to the huge number of TV channels. In order to mitigate the difficulty, channel navigation schemes have been proposed. The schemes predict preferred TV channel from viewer's previous watching histories, and provide the predicted channels when the viewer wants to change TV channel. As channel navigation schemes, there are Most Recently Selected (MRS) scheme providing the most recently watched channel, and Most Frequently Selected (MFS) scheme providing the most frequently selected channel. However, MFS and MRS scheme could be inappropriate to current TV system broadcasting various TV programs in a channel because they are based on the viewer's patterns of watching TV channels. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient channel navigation scheme, Program Most Frequently Selected (PMFS), based on patterns of watching TV programs instead of TV channels. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme PMFS reduces the seek distance compared to the previous channel navigation schemes, MFS and MRS.

In this paper, CSMA/CA protocol is modified for aeronautical VHF communication through collision alleviation and the change of retransmission slot selection method in flag used transmission. When collision occurred in the contention period of CSMA/CA process, it is generally waiting for retransmission delay and it has the double size of CW(Contention Window). To solve this problem, this paper modifies the change procedure of original contention window size and reduces the state transition in collision among the whole of it. Also, in this paper we reduces the second collision probability through the station has to enter Backoff mode with increased contention window in the first collision. In the result of simulation, it is verified that it has good property in throughput and delay, So the proposed protocol is suitable for aeronautical VHF communication.

As a possible standardization of wireless local area network (WLAN), IEEE 802.11 LRLP is under discussion in order to support long range and low power (LRLP) communication for internet of things (IoT) including drones and many other IoT devices. In this paper, an efficient adaptive resource unit allocation scheme for uplink multiuser transmission in IEEE 802.11 LRLP networks is proposed. In the proposed scheme, which adopts OFDMA random access based transmission scheme of IEEE 802.11ax, in order to enhance the efficiency of the slotted OFDMA random access, access point (AP) traces the history of the sizes of successfully transmitted uplink data, and adjusts the sizes of resource units for the next uplink multiuser transmission adaptively. Our simulation results corroborate that the proposed scheme significantly improves the system throughput.

With the development of wireless network technologies, mobile users may use various networks easily and expect more advanced services. On the other hand, it may bring on some problems with network resource management that should lead the service provider to improve the current service quality and manage the network resource efficiently. This paper proposes the optimized radio resource management (RRM) scheme that integrates the Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and game theory. The first applies the GRA to determine the Grey Relation Coefficient (GRC) factors that represent the network preference, and the network provider then selects the requested service that provide maximum payoff through Nash Equilibrium. Six requested services that have one application service among four different types of service classes were considered and the game was played repeatedly. In WiMAX, WLAN 1 and WLAN 2 game, the maximum payoff of each players was 93, 90.6 and 92.8 respectively. The experimental results show that every requested service can be selected by the network provider. Consequently, the proposed radio resource management mechanism is more effective in heterogeneous wireless networks.

These days, the number of automated container terminals is increasing to encourage the productivity of the container terminal inside and outside of the country. So far, there have been a lot of researches on the operating one type of equipments in a container terminal. However, there is still room for further improvement as none of equipment works itself but cooperate each other to finish a job, which means synchronization among the equipments is necessary. Among lots of equipments in a terminal, this paper concerns with the operation of ATCs (Automated Transfer Crane) and YTs (Yard Truck). The purpose of this paper is to find the efficient heuristic methods for operating ATCs and YTs that can set up a schedule in a real time. Moreover, using simulation this paper shows the efficient stacking strategy to decide the location of containers to be put and the proper selection range of YTs.

In this paper, we propose a new symbol time synchronization scheme suitable for the OFDM system with an interpolator. The proposed scheme performs the following three steps. In the first step, the coarse symbol time synchronization is achieved by continuously measuring the average power of the received envelope signal. Based on this average power, the detection possibility for the symbol time synchronization is determined. It the signal is sufficient for synchronization, we next perform a relatively accurate symbol time synchronization by measuring the correlation between a short training signal and the received envelope signal. Finally, an additional frequency synchronization is performed with a long training signal to correct symbol synchronization errors caused by the phase rotation. From the simulation results, one can see that the proposed synchronization scheme provides a good synchronization performance over frequency selective channels.

A dual-mode multiplier (DMM) that performs single- and double-precision multiplications has been designed using a $0.25-\mum$ 5-metal CMOS technology. An algorithm for efficiently implementing double-precision multiplication with a single-precision multiplier was proposed, which is based on partitioning double-precision multiplication into four single-precision sub-multiplications and computing them with sequential accumulations. When compared with conventional double-precision multipliers, our approach reduces the hardware complexity by about one third resulting in small silicon area and low-power dissipation at the expense of increased latency and throughput cycles. The DMM consists of a $28-b\times28-b$ single-precision multiplier designed using radix-4 Booth receding and redundant binary (RB) arithmetic, an accumulator and a simple control logic for mode selection. It contains about 25,000 transistors on the area of about $0.77\times0.40-m^2$. The HSPICE simulation results show that the DMM core can safely operate with 200-MHZ clock at 2.5-V, and its estimated power dissipation is about 130-㎽ at double-precision mode.

In this paper, a phase locked loop structure with parallel dual loop which have a different bandwidth has been proposed. The bandwidths depending on transfer functions are obtained through dual loops. Two different bandwidths of each loop are used to suppress noise on the operating frequency range. The proposed phase locked loop has two different voltage controlled oscillator gains to control two different wide and narrow loop filters. Furthermore, it has the locking status indicator to achieve an accurate locking condition. The phase margin of $58.2^{\circ}$ for wide loop and $49.4^{\circ}$ for narrow loop is designed for stable operation and the phase margin of $45^{\circ}$ is maintained during both loops work together. It has been designed with a 1.8V 0.18um complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The simulation results show that the proposed phase locked loop works stably and generates a target frequency.

Digital signal processing technique is applied in wide fields such as speech processing, image processing and spectrum analysis. Therefore, in order to do frequency selective operation digital filter is used in stead of analog filter and sharp filter characteristics can be implemented. Since finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter as nonrecursive type represents linear phase response characteristics and is always stable and is used in fields regarding wave information importantly such as data transmission. And due to frequency characteristics, in order to remove the Gibbs phenomenon generating around a discontinuous point, filter is designed through window function method. Therefore, in this paper to improve performance of FIR digital filter, a modified window function was applied. And the proposed method was compared with conventional methods using peak side-lobe and transition properties in simulations.
