Wireless multicast service can be used for video streaming service to save the network resources by sending the same popular multimedia contents to a group of users at once. For better multimedia streaming multicast service, we propose a quality-aware rate adaptation (QARA) scheme for scalable video multicast in rate adaptive wireless networks. In QARA, transmission rate is determined depending on the content's type and users' channel conditions. First, the base layer is transmitted by a low rate for high reliability. That means we provide basic service quality to all users. On the contrary, the transmission rate for enhancement layer is adapted by using channel condition feedback from a randomly selected node. So, the enhancement layer frames in a multimedia content is sent with various transmission rates. Therefore, each node can be provided with differentiated quality services. Consequently, QARA is capable of serving heterogeneous population of mobile nodes. Moreover, it can utilize network resources more efficiently. Our simulation results show that QARA outperforms utilization of the available transmission rate and reduces the data transmission time.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive-perturbation-aided opportunistic precoding (APOP) scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To update a precoding matrix in MIMO systems, the proposed algorithm produces a random perturbation in each time slot. Then the additional adaptive perturbation is also applied, which depends on the reports of achievable data-rates from users. If the prior random perturbation increased the data rate, the adaptive perturbation is set to be the same as the prior random perturbation, otherwise the negative value of the prior random perturbation is applied for adaptive perturbation. Furthermore, to enhance the achievable data rates, the information on the stored precoding matrices in the memory as well as the currently generated precoding matrix is used for scheduling. Simulation results show that compared to conventional opportunistic precoding schemes, higher data rates are achieved by the proposed APOP scheme, especially when there are a relatively small number of users.

Today's IEEE 802.11 WLANs(Wireless LANs) provide multiple transmission rates so that different rates can be exploited in an adaptive manner depending on the underlying channel condition in order to maximize the system performance. Many rate adaptation schemes have been proposed so far while most(if not all) of the commercial devices implement a simple open-loop rate adaptation scheme(i.e., without feedback from the receiver), called ARF(Automatic Rate Fallback) due to its simplicity. A key problem with such open-loop rate adaptation schemes is that they do not consider the collision effect, and hence, malfunction severely when many transmission failures are due to collisions. In this paper, we propose a novel rate-adaptation scheme, called CARA(Collision-Aware Rate Adaptation). The key idea of CARA is that the transmitter station combines adaptively the Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send(RTS/CTS) exchange with the Clear Channel Assessment(CCA) functionality to differentiate frame collisions from frame transmission failures cause by channel errors. Therefore, compared with other open-loop rate adaptation schemes, CATA is more likely to make the correct rate adaptation decisions. Through extensive simulation runs, we evaluate our proposed scheme to show that our scheme yields significantly higher throughput performance than the existing schemes in both static and time-varying fading channel environments.

In this paper, we propose a reliable high-speed UDP-based media transport with an adaptive error control. The proposed adaptive transport scheme controls the amount of redundancy by monitoring the network in order to adapt to network fluctuations efficiently. The feedback of receiver enables the sender to be aware of current reception status (i.e., rate and type of packet loss) and to estimate the expected network status. Based on this, the proposed transport attempts to enable reliable transport by adaptively controlling the amount of both whole sending rate and the ratio for adaptive FEC code. Experiment with high-speed network has been conducted to verify the performance of the proposed system that demonstrates the enhanced reliability of the proposed transport at the speed of up to several hundred Mbps.

In this paper, the dynamic buffering based smart OTT platform was proposed, and analyzed for adaptive bit-rate video delivery with the optimization of HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). This platform consists of the software platform between sever and client which detects the bandwidth capacity, and adjusts the quality of the streaming for multiple bit-rates resolutions. In order to apply adaptive buffering, two buffers are added to the basic HLS player, and each buffer is responsible for constantly buffering a previous and the next channels relative to the current channel. This adaptive transmitting with smart OTT platform is superior to delivering a static video file at a single buffering, because the video stream of adaptive double buffers can be switched streaming according to client's available network speed. As a result, this proposed smart OTT can be cooperated to the application of HLS server with segmented H.265 MPEG-2 TS video & m3u8 files with its information based on the optimized transmission channel state of live and VOD, and applied to PLC transmission, too.

본 논문에서는 16Kbps 및 32 Kbps 전송속도에서 ADM의 음질을 개선하기 위하여 두 가지 방 식을 적용한다. 첫째로, 고차 예측기 또는 적응 예측기를 ADM에 활용한다. ADM의 경우에 2차 또는 3 차 예측기를 사용하면 16Kbps 전송속도에서는 별로 개선이 없지만 32Kbps 전송속도에서는 SQNR\sub SEG\척도로 약 3-4dB의 상당한 이득이 얻어진다. 또한 ADM에 적응 예측기를 활용하면 최대 성능은 SZNR\sub SEG\ dir 2dB 정도 개선되지만 양자화 잡음의 축적 때문에 동작 범위가 매우 좁아진다. 둘 째로, 지연 결정 방식을 ADM에 이용한다. 지연 결정 방식을 2차 예측기를 갖고 있는 ADM에 적용하면 약 2dB 정도 개선되지만 양자화 잡음의 축적 때문에 동작 범위가 매우 좁아진다. 둘째로 지연 결정 방 식을 ADM 에 이용한다. 지연 결정 방식을 2차 예측기를 갖고 있는 ADM에 적용하면 1차 예측기를 갖 고 있는 ADMDP 적용했을 때 보다 16또는 32Kbps일 때 SQNR\sub SEG\척도로 재래의 ADM 보다 약 5dB 정도의 성능 개선이 얻어진다.

In wireless communications environments, a link adaptation technique that selects the proper rate from among several transmission rates is adopted to cope with variations in channel status. In block coded modulation, the frame time and/or the block length can be adjusted to the channel status. A smaller frame time can cause inter-frame interference (IFI), however, a larger frame time can reduce the data rate. Therefore, frame time is the design factor decided by a tradeoff between performance and the data rate. This paper presents a method to determine the frame time based on the processing gain for the channel model, CM1~CM4, recommended by IEEE 802.15a. Also, a link adaptation technique for block coded modulation is proposed for efficient communications by varying the frame time and the block length. Through simulation, link adaptation can be carried out with a step size of 2~5 nsec in a frame time range of 14~ 50 nsec for channel models CM1~CM4.

본 논문에서는 유ㆍ무선 통신 채널을 통한 데이터 전송시 발생하는 비선형 왜곡을 적응 필터를 이용하여 보상하였다. 특히 통신채널에서는 심볼간 간섭(ISI)이 발생하는데 이러한 간섭을 비선형 필터를 이용하여 제거하였다. 비선형 채널을 모델링하는 방법에는 볼테라급수를 이용하는 방법과 쌍선형 방법이 있다. 쌍선형 방법은 볼테라 방법에 비하여 계산량이 적은 장점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 쌍선형 필터에 적응 알고리듬을 적용하여 신호의 왜곡을 보상하였다. 적응 알고리듬에는 LMS 계열과 LS 계열 알고리듬이 있으나 통신 채널에서는 알고리듬의 안정도가 중요하므로 LMS 계열 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 또한 적응 알고리듬은 입력 데이터의 상관성과 데이터 수에 의존하여 수렴속도와 안정도가 결정된다. 알고리듬의 수렴속도를 증가시키기 위하여 입력신호를 신호파형으로부터 다량의 데이터를 검출하는 방법을 적용하였다. 이러한 방법을 입증하기 위하여 입력신호는 2진 랜덤 가우시안 데이터를 이용하였고, 통신채널에서 채널간 간섭을 발생시켰으며 화이트 가우시안 잡음을 부가 시켰다. 이러한 신호를 수신한 수신기에 적응 등화기를 설계하여 대량의 데이터를 생성시키고, 적응 알고리듬을 적용하여 채널의 왜곡을 빠른 속도로 보상하였다.

기존의 반이중방식 단방향 중계 네트워크는 하나의 정보를 두 개의 시간 슬롯 동안에 보내므로 추가적인 자원을 필요로 하며 이로 인해 주파수 효율에서 감소가 생기게 된다. 이러한 주파수 효율의 감소를 막기 위해 제안된 양방향 중계 네트워크는 중계기에 중첩 부호화 또는 네트워크 부호화를 적용함으로써 기존의 단방향 중계 네트워크에 비해 향상된 주파수 효율을 제공한다. 한편, OFDMA 네트워크는 사용자에게 부반송파, 전력 등의 자원을 적응적으로 할당하여 네트워크의 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 복호 후 전송 중계 기법을 사용하는 양방향 OFDMA 중계 네트워크를 위한 적응적 부반송파 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 각 사용자 쌍의 최소 전송속도를 보장하며 모든 사용자 쌍에 대한 달성 합 전송속도를 최대화 하기 위해 부반송파를 사용자 쌍과 중계기에 적응적으로 할당한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 정적 알고리즘과 그리디 알고리즘, 두 알고리즘 모두 보다 훨씬 낮은 불능확률을 얻음을 확인한다.

A two-way relay network provide improved spectral efficiency compared with a conventional one-way relay network by using either superposition coding or network coding. OFDMA network provides imptoved performance by adaptive resource allocation. In this paper, we propose a adaptive subcarrier allocation for a multiuser two-way OFDMA relay network. In the proposed algorithm, subcarriers are allocated to the user-pairs and relays to maximize the achievable sum-rate over all user-pairs while satisfying the minimum rate requirement for each user-pair. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides improved performance compared with the static and greedy algorithms.
