This paper proposed and implemented the adaptive transmission middleware for video streaming, which is able to support the adaptive transmission of video data to the fluctuating changes of network environment in the packet-based network and the properties of transmitted video data. The adaptive transmission middleware is made up SR-RTP-based transfer module and TFRC(TCP Friendly Rate Control)-based transfer-rate control module. The SR-RTP-based transfer module supports RTP-based real-time transfer of video data and packet retransmission scheme retransmitting the high-priority packets selectively in the damaged video data to reduce the error induced by the packet loss. Sharing the transmission bandwidth of network with the TCP-based data transfer, the TFRC-based transfer-rate control module controls the transfer rate of video data according to the most allowable transmission bandwidth in the network, so that the transfer rate is controlled adaptively to the fluctuating changes of transmission bandwidth. This paper, for the experiment, applied the adaptive transmission middleware to video streaming in the external Internet environment, and analyzed the effective frame transfer rate and the degree of the streaming jitter to evaluate the performance of packet-loss recovery and adaptive transfer rate control. In the external Internet environment where the packet-loss rate is high a bit, the relatively high streaming performance was showed compared with the case that didn't apply the adaptive transmission middleware.

The energy constraint is still a common issue for the practical application of wireless sensors, since they are usually powered by batteries which limit their lifetime. In this paper, a practical compound energy efficiency strategy is proposed and realized in the implementation of a real time wireless sensor platform. The platform is intended for wireless structural monitoring applications and consists of three parts, wireless sensing unit, base station and data acquisition and configuration software running in a computer within the Matlab environment. The high energy efficiency of the wireless sensor platform is achieved by a proposed adaptive radio transmission power control algorithm, and some straightforward methods, including adopting low power ICs and high efficient power management circuits, low duty cycle radio polling and switching off radio between two adjacent data packets' transmission. The adaptive transmission power control algorithm is based on the statistical average of the path loss estimations using a moving average filter. The algorithm is implemented in the wireless node and relies on the received signal strength feedback piggybacked in the ACK packet from the base station node to estimate the path loss. Therefore, it does not need any control packet overheads. Several experiments are carried out to investigate the link quality of radio channels, validate and evaluate the proposed adaptive transmission power control algorithm, including static and dynamic experiments.

4G mobile communication system requires the throughput of 10-100Mbps. Adaptive modulated OFDM system is promising technique for increasing the throughput. In the pilot symbol assisted high-speed packet transmission system, the data symbol duration is generally considered to be small compared to the coherence time. However, OFDM symbol duration is longer than the symbol duration of a single carrier system, so that the packet duration of the pilot symbol assisted high speed packet transmission system is long. In this case, the change of channel conditions is too fast to be accurately estimated by channel estimator at the receiver in high Doppler frequency, so that many errors occur during demodulation, especially with the data symbols at the end of each packet. In this paper, we consider the BER at various instantaneous $E_b/N_o$ that includes the demodulation errors in high Doppler frequency. When the coherence time is ten times longer than the duration of a single packet, the channel can be closely approximated as an AWGN channel. Otherwise, the approximation breaks down and the above-mentioned errors that occur during demodulation must be taken into consideration. In this paper, we propose the pilot symbol assisted high speed packet transmission system based on adaptive OFDM using a novel lookup table to consider the demodulated errors and evaluate the throughput performance.

In this paper, the effective transmission method is proposed to save the energy and to increase the throughput of the communication system using adaptive modulation. Traditionally, adaptive modulation has been used to improve the throughput using the power margin of the system design. Considering the instantaneous energy during the modulation method changing duration, the effective transmission method is proposed. By the simulation, the performance and effectiveness is validated.

In this paper, we analyze the problems that the DDS middleware, which is a standard data-centric communication interface, uses the fixed packet transmission method by the pre-defined protocol for exchanging data packets. The packet transmission method selected in a fixed manner cannot handle appropriately the increasing of resource overhead in an environment where the load of the DDS network changes dynamically. If the load on the node and network exceeds the threshold, the performance of the packet transmission may be degraded rapidly. This results in a failure of ensuring the real-time characteristic of DDS middleware. To solve this problem, we propose the scheme of the adaptive packet transmission for adjusting the transmission method in real-time based on the overhead on the DDS network.

This paper provides a comprehensive study of the effect of time delay on adaptive transmission methods. By adaptive we mean that the transmission of data is made adaptive according to channel conditions. That is, the modulation level at the transmitter is carefully controlled for maximizing bandwidth efficiency, on the basis of the observation of instantaneous channel characteristics. By making use of the simulator developed for the present work, a large number of channel propagation environments including the models proposed in 3GPP were submitted to the simulator and the performance with respect to both time delay and SNR is observed. The results show that the performance is very sensitive to channel delay and in some cases the performance shows irreducible BER (IBER). A large amount of delay together with a high fading rate greatly affects the performance of adaptive transmission systems.

The strategic unit communication infrastructure for military command, communications requires a dualized network structure of various communication methods, considering the direction of development, strategic unit and line characteristic. It has been pointed out that MicroWave, which is typical of wireless systems, is inefficient because it operates only with existing technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the structure, efficiency of the MW transmission system and its effects. It is difficult to transfer efficiently considering wireless environment due to a fixed type of access structure in the existing MW transmission system. Adaptive modulation allows improvement, but with traditional access structures and fixed bandwidth, there is a limit. Following the transmission performance improvement technique considering availability and link distance in the previous study, this paper presented improved packetized MW transmission system structure and variable bandwidth transmission in consideration of adaptive modulation based variable transmission waveform, bandwidth and distance, and performed the analysis in view of the strategic unit and command control circuit.

Bit error rate (BER) monitoring is the ultimate goal of performance monitoring in all digital transmission systems as well as optical fiber transmission systems. To achieve this goal, optimization of the decision threshold must also be considered because BER is dependent on the level of decision threshold. In this paper, we analyze a pseudo-error counting scheme and propose an algorithm to achieve both BER monitoring and adaptive decision threshold optimization in optical fiber transmission systems. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conduct computer simulations in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian distribution cases. According to the simulation results, BER and the optimum decision threshold can be estimated with the errors of < 20% and < 10 mV, respectively, within 0.1-s processing time in > 40-Gb/s transmission systems.

The introduction of a digiral subscriber loop transmission system necessitates an optimized line interface solution. To meet this objective an adaptive line equalizer has been developed. The equalizer can be compensated up to 42 dB line loss at 200KHz, and operated up to 3.2 Km transmission length (0.4 mm\ulcornercable)at a rate of 400Kb/s. This has been builted using a variable \ulcorner equalizer to compensate a frequency-attenuation characteristics of metallic cable, an AGC (automatic gain control) circuits with simple control algorithm, and various filters to minimize a transmission constraints over subscriber loop. The purpose of this paper is to present a short description of a design of the adaptive line equalizer with a summary of implementation results. Some design concepts and considerations which results in an implementation of the equalizer are also given.
