In this paper, a complexity-balancing algorithm is proposed for distributed video coding based on entropy coding. In order to reduce complexity of DVC-based decoders, the proposed method employs an entropy coder instead of channel coders and the complexity-balancing method is designed to improve RD performance with minimal computational complexity. The proposed method performs motion estimation in the decoder side and transmits the estimated motion vectors to the encoder. The proposed encoder can perform more accurate refinement using the transmitted motion vectors from the decoder. During the motion refinement, the optimal predicted motion vectors are decided by the received motion vector and the predicted motion vectors and complexity load of block is allocated by adjusting the search range based on the difference between the received motion vector and the predicted motion vectors. The computational complexity of the proposed encoder is decreased 11.9% compared to the H.264/AVC encoder and that of the proposed decoder are reduced 99% compared to the conventional DVC decoder.

It is the purpose of this paper to describe the methods for establishing loudness ratings and talker echo out of transmission quality of ISDN telephone connected to fully digital network. In order to design the desirable loudness ratings and talker echo for ISDN telephone, the model system of digital speech communication for subjective tests is developed. Using this model system, opinion tests which decide the optimal CODEC input level, the range of overall loudness rating, sidetone masking rating and talker echo are performed. From the results of tests, we decided that the loudness ratings are 6 to 8dB for sending, 0 to 2dB for receiving, and 8 to 12dB for sidetone masking rating. And, the terminal coupling loss of TCLw of at least 40dB is necessary to provide echo-free telephone communications to telophone users when the overall loudness rating of ISDN telephone is normalized to 10dB.

In this study, we evaluate the reliability of using bluetooth wireless communication method, the industrial, scientific, and medical standards for local wireless communications, in the medical environment. For the study, an ECG measurement system using bluetooth is developed and used in various conditions of medical environment. It is found that the bluetooth communication method has shown a reliable data transmission capability when both transmitter and receiver are positioned in the same room. However, the increase of transmission distance and the existence of a wall prevent the retailable data transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure if reliable data transmission is achieved for individual environments, before we use this technology.

In this paper, the RF-modules composed of front-end, frequency synthesizer, modulator/demodulator and power control multi channel WLL personal system for W-CDMA using 10 [MHz] RF channel bandwidth has been implemented and considered. The measured transmission power is 250 [mW] which is very close to the required value. The measured flatness of power at the final output stage is ${\pm}1.5[dB]$ over the required bandwidth of the receiver. In addition, it is found that the chip rate transmitting spread signal is set to 8.192 [MHz], the required rate. The frequencies of RF_LO signal and LO signal of the modulator and the demodulator measured by a frequency synthesizer are satisfied with design requirements. The operating range of the receiving strength signal indicator and AGC units shows 60 [dB] respectively. Also the measured phasor diagram and eye pattern for deciding the RF modules compatible with baseband digital signal processing part are shown good results.

In this paper, we propose a cognitive beamforming scheme for coexistence of CR (Cognitive Radio) and IR (Incumbent Radio) systems. In order to maintain the priority of the IR in spectrum utilization the proposed cognitive beamforming scheme needs to have the CR not cause any interference to the IR systems occupying the same frequency band at the same time. In addition the proposed scheme has to provide maximum channel gain to the CRU (CR User) in a boundary of satisfying the former criterion. For this purpose, the proposed scheme does not cause any interference to the IRU (IR User), while the CRU is served without additional radio resource consumption. From simulation, we confirmed that when using the proposed scheme the CRU does not interfere with the IRU and there is little bit error rate performance degradation of the CRU as compared to that of the ideal beamforming system, which does not consider the IR priority.

Satellite communication is a communication method using a satellite as a repeater communication on the air and have a communication range is wide and is possible to transmit high-speed data, so Satellite communication has been highlighted as the next generation communication. However, because the distance between the ground and the satellite is far away, there is a disadvantage that propagation delay time is very long and packet is damaged. Therefore, this study was applied to Link Relay H-ARQ system in order to complement the damage to the packet. Furthermore, we propose the Modified Link Relay H-ARQ scheme is a new scheme to supplementation the delay time. By applying the Markov channel for implementing a channel of satellite communications, the results of analyzing the performance, when applying the Link Relay HARQ scheme, BER and PER performance was improved, when applying the Modified Link Relay H-ARQ scheme, Throughput performance was confirmed improvement.

This paper proposes the Global Clipboard System and presents a preliminary study on it. The clipboard is a temporary storage used to copy and paste some contents between application programs in Windows Operating System. The proposed Global Clipboard is a contents delivery system that extends the concept of the existing local clipboard to Internet. The Global Clipboard System operates in two steps. An application user can upload selected contents to the Global Clipboard by typing consecutive keys of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Shift-C easily. And other users can download and utilize the contents from the Global Clipboard by typing Ctrl-Shift-V and Ctrl-V keys consecutively. The proposed Global Clipboard can deal almost data like simple texts, screen capture images, files, and directories. In this paper, we developed a global clipboard server, a Windows application, and an Android application. We have conducted experiments about functions of the Global Clipboard and also compared delay times between 4 applications such as e-mail, Kakao, Google Drive, and the Global Clipboard. The results of the evaluation show that the time delay spending in sending and receiving contents is shortest when the Global Clipboard is used.

In this paper, analysis and measurement on coaxial connecter designed for packaging of microwave and micro strip transition structure are carried out. Even though researches on optimization of various kinds of transition structures have been conducted actively; however, the range of the application was very limited since they have been focused mainly on improvement of specific transmission line. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to analyze three kinds of substrates of which dielectric constants are 2,5,10 and are commercially used nowadays. Besides, we have confirmed reliability of FEM analysis, extracted equivalent circuit of transition area, found out factors determining extracted physical values, and made proof of electromagnetic variations for optimum characteristics. In addition, transition structure showing optimized characteristics on the basis of dielectric and microstrip structure was proposed. We reckon that the result of this research will apply with effect to transition design in microwave packaging development.
