In WATM networks, in order to perform dynamic slot allocation required slots of mobile terminals are estimated based on DP (Dynamic Parameter) reflecting characteristics of traffic. In VBR (Variable Bit Rate) traffic, slot allocation is done at MT considering both time-dependent characteristics and QoS (Quality of Service) requirements. In this paper, DPs-buffer state information and buffer state change-are transmitted through in-band signaling. BS (Base Station) performs dynamic slot allocation considering traffic characteristics of each MT (Mobile Terminal), in other words, buffer state information informs the potentiality of 'buffer full state'to BS if MT buffer is over the specific threshold value and buffer state change notifies change in buffer state of incoming cells to MT. If buffer state information is equal to 'low (more than threshold)' and 'abrupt increase' it generates 'buffer full' state cell transmission delay or cell loss might occur. At this time BS should assign additional slots to MT, and then MT consumes cells in its buffer. In simulation, the proposed scheme shows better performance in cell delay and loss than EPSA (Estimation-Prorated Slot Assignment) in-band scheme.

In this paper, we propose a new bitrate control scheme to improve the quality of image encoded by SVC and to resolve the problems of conventional scheme. In JSVM2.0, bitrate of a frame is controlled by an initial quantization parameter and scaling factor that it hasdifferent value according to frame. Itis difficult to get the best of video quality at arbitrary bitrate because the conventional scheme has two defects. One is that we have to know proper initial QP's fur all sequences. Another is that QP's control skill for macroblocks is very inefficient. In this paper, we propose an efficient bit allocation algorithm to reduce the effect of the initial QP and to increase the efficiency of bit allocation by using proper QP's for macroblocks. In simulation results, it can be seen that using the proposed scheme enables the SVC encoder to control the bitrate by the macroblock unit and outperforms the conventional schemes in the respect of rate-distortion.

The WBAN technology means a short distance wireless network which provides each device interactive communication by connecting devices inside and outside of body. Standardization on the physical layer, data link layer, network layer and application layer is in progress by IEEE 802.15.6 TG BAN. Wireless body area network is usually configured in energy efficient using sensor and zigbee device due to the power limitation and the characteristics of human body. Wireless sensor network consist of sensor field and sink node. Sensor field are composed a lot of sensor node and sink node collect sensing data. Wireless sensor network has capacity of the self constitution by protocol where placed in large area without fixed position. In this paper, we proposed the efficient addressing scheme for improving the performance of routing algorithm by using ZigBee in WBAN environment. A distributed address allocation scheme used an existing algorithm that has wasted in address space. Therefore proposing x, y and z coordinate axes from divided address space of 16 bit to solve this problems. Each node was reduced not only bitwise but also multi hop using the coordinate axes while routing than Cskip algorithm. I compared the performance between the standard and the proposed mechanism through the numerical analysis. Simulation verified performance about decrease averaging multi hop count that compare proposing algorithm and another. The numerical analysis results show that proposed algorithm reduced the multi hop better than ZigBee distributed address assignment

In digital broadcasting, services such as digital satellite TV, cable TV and digital terrestrial TV, several video programs are compressed by MPEG-2, and then simultaneously transmitted over a conventional CBR (Constant Bit Rate) broadcasting channel. In this paper, we propose a joint quality control scheme to be able to accurately control the relative picture quality among the video programs, which is achieved by simdt;,nL'Ously controlling the video encoders to generate the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compressed video streams. Our quality control scheme can prevent the video buffer overflow and underflow by total target bit allocation process, and also exactly control the relative picture quality in terms of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) between some programs requiring higher picture quality and others by rate-distortion modification. Furthermore we present a rate-distortion estimation method for MPEG-2 video, which is base of our joint quality control, and verify its performance by experiments. The most attractive features of this estimation method are as follows: 1) computational complexity is low because main operation for the estimation is to calculate the histogram of OCT coefficients into quantizer; 2) estimation results are very accurate enough to be applied to the practical MPEG-2 video coding applications. Simulation results show that the proposed joint quality control scheme accurately controls the relative picture quality among the video progran1s transmitted over a single channel as well as provides more consistent and higher picture quality than independent coding scheme that encodes each program independently.

Visible light communication (VLC) using optical sources which can be simultaneously utilized for illumination and communication is currently an attractive option for wireless personal area network. Improving the data rate in optical wireless communication system is challenging due to the limited bandwidth of the optical sources. In this paper, we design the singular value decomposition (SVD)-based multiplexing multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system to support two data streams in optical wireless channels. In order to improve the spectral efficiency, the rate adaptation using multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is applied according to the channel condition and we propose the method to allocate the optical power, the offset and the size of modulation scheme theoretically under the constraints of the nonnegativity of the modulated signals, the aggregate optical power and the bit error rate (BER) requirement. The simulation results show that the proposed allocation method gives the better performance than the method to allocate the optical power equally for each data stream.

Wireless link has high bit error rate compared with wired link and many users share this limited bandwidth. So it needs more powerful error control code and efficient media access control(MAC) to provide multimedia service reliably. In this paper we proposed efficient MAC frame format based on TDMA using mini-slot for request access. The number of mini-slots is variable based on the result of collision in the previous frame. This dynamic allocation of request mini-slots helps resolve the contention situation quickly and avoids the waste of bandwidth that may occur when there are several unneeded request mini-slots. The simulation results are also presented in terms of channel utilization, call blocking probability and cell transmission delay for mixed traffic environment.

Adaptability is an important issue in video streaming over mobile environments, since the clients may request videos with great differences in their workload. In this paper, we propose the issues in limited bandwidth scheduling for efficient MPEG-4 video stream transmission over a mobile or wireless network. In the phase of admission control, the amount of bandwidth allocated to serve a video request is the mean bandwidth requirement of its requested video. The dynamic allocation of bandwidth in the phase of scheduling depends on the playback buffer levels of the clients with an objective to make it more adaptive to the playback situation of individual clients. In the proposed RTA scheduling protocol, more bandwidth may be allocated temporarily to the client whose buffer level is low. By employing the buffer level based scheduling policy, this protocol attempts to maximize the real-time performance of individual playback while minimizing the impact of transient overloading. Extensive simulation experiments have been performed to investigate the performance characteristics of the RTA protocol as comparing with BSBA protocol. This RTA protocol shows the better performance by transferring more frames than BSBA protocol.Computer simulations reveals that the standard deviation of the bit rate error of the proposed scheme is 50% less than that of the conventional method.

One of evaluation indicators of candidate waveforms for 5G mobile communication is spectral efficiency improvement by OOB(Out of Band) power reduction technique. In this paper, time-frequency resource allocation characteristic of UFMC(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier), FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier), and W-OFDM(Weighted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is evaluated and analyzed. As simulation results, spectral efficiency characteristic of these systems have been improved according to time resource allocation. In this paper, we can confirm that each system has similar time-frequency efficiency characteristic when the number of transmission bit is same and four symbols are transmitted with the linear system condition. Also, we can conclude that FBMC system has the lowest time-frequency resource efficiency under the nonlinear condition.

Due to multiple hops, mobility and time-varying channel, supporting delay sensitive real-time traffic in wireless local area network-based (WLAN) mesh networks is a challenging task. In particular for real-time traffic subject to medium access control (MAC) layer control overhead, such as preamble, carrier sense waiting time and the random backoff period, the performance of real-time flows will be degraded greatly. In order to support real-time traffic, an efficient adaptive packet scheduling (APS) scheme is proposed, which aims to improve the system performance by guaranteeing inter-class, intra-class service differentiation and adaptively adjusting the packet length. APS classifies incoming packets by the IEEE 802.11e access class and then queued into a suitable buffer queue. APS employs strict priority service discipline for resource allocation among different service classes to achieve inter-class fairness. By estimating the received signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) per bit and current link condition, APS is able to calculate the optimized packet length with bi-dimensional markov MAC model to improve system performance. To achieve the fairness of intra-class, APS also takes maximum tolerable packet delay, transmission requests, and average allocation transmission into consideration to allocate transmission opportunity to the corresponding traffic. Detailed simulation results and comparison with IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) scheme show that the proposed APS scheme is able to effectively provide inter-class and intra-class differentiate services and improve QoS for real-time traffic in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and fairness.

캐리-세이브 가산기 (CSA)는 회로 설계 과정에서 빠른 연산 수행을 위해 가장 널리 이용되는 연산기 중의 하나이다. 그러나, 현재까지 산업체에서 CSA를 이용한 설계는 설계자의 경험에 따른 수작업에 의존하고 있고 그 결과 최적의 회로를 만들기 위해 매우 많은 시간과 노력이 소비되고 있다. 이에 따라 최근 CSA를 기초로 하는 회로 합성 자동화 기법에 대한 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있는 상황에서, 본 논문은 연산 속도를 최적화하는 효율적인 CSA 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우리는 CSA 할당 문제를 2단계로 접근한다: (1) 연산식의 멀티 비트 입력들만을 고려하여 최소 수행 속도 (optimal-delay)의 CSA 트리를 할당한다; (2) (1)에서 구한 CSA 트리의 수행 속도 증가가 최소화 (minimal increase of delay) 되는 방향으로 CSA들의 캐리 입력 포트들에 나머지 싱글 비트 입력들을 배정한다. 실제 실험에서 우리의 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 연산식들의 회로 속도를 회로 면적의 증가 없이 상당한 수준까지 줄일 수 있었다.Abstract Carry-save-adder (CSA) is one of the most widely used implementations for fast arithmetics in industry. However, optimizing arithmetic circuits using CSAs is mostly carried out by the designer manually based on his/her design experience, which is a very time-consuming and error-prone task. To overcome this limitation, in this paper we propose an effective synthesis algorithm for solving the problem of finding an allocation of CSAs with a minimal timing for an arithmetic expression. Specifically, we propose a two step approach: (1) allocating a delay-optimal CSA tree for the multi-bit inputs of the arithmetic expression and (2) determining the assignment of the single-bit inputs to carry inputs of the CSAs which leads to a minimal increase of delay of the CSA tree obtained in step (1). For a number of arithmetic expressions, we found that our approach is very effective, reducing the timing of the circuits significantly without increasing the circuit area.
