The advantages of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are high spectral efficiency, resiliency to RF interference, and lower multi-path distortion. To further utilize vast channel capacity of the multiuser OFDM, one has to find the efficient adaptive subchannel and bit allocation among users. In this paper, we compare the performance of the linear programming dual of the 0-1 integer programming formulation with the existing convex optimization approach for the optimal subchannel and bit allocation problem of the multiuser OFDM. Utilizing tight lower bound provided by the LP dual formulation, we develop a primal heurisitc algorithm based on the LP dual solution. The performance of the primal heuristic is compared with MAO, ESA heuristic solutions, and integer programming solution on MATLAB simulation on a system employing M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) assuming a frequency-selective channel consisting of three independent Rayleigh multi-paths.

A practical method of adaptive rate allocation to source and channel codings for an independent loss channel is proposed for Internet video. It is based on the observations that the values of residual loss probabilities at the optimal code rates for different packet loss probabilities are closely clustered to the average residual loss probability for a transmission frame size n in RS(n,k) code and for a total bit rate R. These observations aye then exploited to find the code rate for maximum PSNR. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a near-optimal bit-rate allocation in the joint source-channel coding of H.263 and RS(n,k) codings.

In this paper, a novel rate control scheme for low delay video coding of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is proposed. The proposed scheme is developed by considering a new temporal prediction structure of HEVC. In the proposed scheme, the relationship between bit rate and quantization step is exploited firstly to formulate an accurate quadratic rate-quantization (R-Q) model. Secondly, a method of determining the quantization parameters (QPs) for the first frames within a group of pictures is proposed. Thirdly, an accurate frame-level bit allocation method is proposed for HEVC. Finally, based on the proposed R-Q model and the target bit allocated for the frame, the QPs are predicted for coding tree units by using rate-distortion (R-D) optimization. We compare our scheme against that of three other state-of-the-art rate control schemes. Experimental results show that the proposed rate control scheme can increase the Bjøntegaard delta peak signal-to-noise ratio by 0.65 dB and 0.09 dB on average compared with the JCTVC-I0094 and JCTVC-M0036 schemes, respectively, both of which have been implemented in an HEVC test model encoder; furthermore, the proposed scheme achieves a similar R-D performance to Wang's scheme, as well as obtaining the smallest bit rate mismatch error of all the schemes.

This paper proposes a rate control algorithm for intra coding frame in HEVC encoder using a deep learning approach. The proposed algorithm is designed for CTU level bit allocation in intra frame by considering visual features spatially and temporally. Our features are generated using visual geometry group (VGG-16) with deep convolutional layers, then it is used for bit allocation per each CTU within an intra frame. According to our experiments, the proposed algorithm can achieve -2.04% Luma component BD-rate gain with minimal bit accuracy loss against the HM-16.20 rate control model.

In this paper, an adaptive minimum transmit power modulation scheme under constant data rate and fixed bit error rate (BER) for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is proposed. It adjusts the modulation order and allocates the transmit power to each spatial sub-channel when meeting the user's requirements at the cost of minimum transmission power. Compared to the other algorithm, it can obtain good performance with lower computational complexity and can be applied to the wireless communication system. Computer simulation results present the efficiency of the proposed scheme. And its performance under different channel condition has been compared with the other algorithm.

This paper presents variable bit rate(VBR) rate control scheme based on MPEG-4 VM8 rate control scheme. An initial Q searching method provides more accurate bit allocation for the first frame. A frame skipping and RD Model update scheme when coded frame quality is too low or high prevents image quality fluctuation.

In video coding, the goal of rate control (RC) is not only to avoid the undesirable fluctuation in bit allocation, but also to provide a good visual perception. In this paper, a novel frame-level rate control algorithm for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is proposed. Firstly a model that reveals the relationship between bit per pixel (bpp), the bitrate of the intra frame and the bitrate of the subsequent inter frames in a group of pictures (GOP) is established, based on which the target bitrate of the first intra frame is well estimated. Then a novel frame-level bit allocation algorithm is developed, which provides a robust bit balancing scheme between the intra frame and the inter frames in a GOP to achieve the visual quality smoothness throughout the whole sequence. Our experimental results show that when compared to the RC scheme for HEVC encoder HM-16.0, the proposed algorithm can produce reconstructed frames with more consistent objective video quality. In addition, the objective visual quality of the reconstructed frames can be improved with less bitrate.

A suboptimum block quantization method is investigated for efficent transform coding. In our study the following method has appeared as suboptimum. At first, optimum bit allocation is done assuming the varances of the transform coefficients are known. Secndly, a varance estimation algorithm which results from the approximate equations governing the optimum vit alllocation is applied. The better performance of the proposed block quantization method has been confirmed by simulations based on varous pdf assumptions. the results indicate that the proposed method yields overall improvements of about 25% in NMSE for both the symmetric nonuniform and uniform quantizer at the coding rate of 1 bit/pel.

지금까지의 비트 율 조절에 대한 연구는 일정한 프레임 율을 갖는다는 가정 하에서 매크로 블록 단에서의 연구가 대부분이었다. 그러나 저 전송률 환경에서는 사용 할 수 있는 bit 수가 적기 때문에 오히려 이러한 가정이 성능을 저하시킬 수 있다. 우리는 이 논문에서 저 전송률 환경에서 문제가 되는 motion jerkiness 와 flickering effort 를 개선시키고 프레임 skip 을 방지하는 비트율 조절 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 허용하는 지연 시간 안에서 부호화단에 부가적인 계산량을 거치 부가하지 않기 때문에 실시간 처리에 적합하다. 실험 결과는 우리의 기법이 저 전송률 환경에 적함함을 보여준다.

In this paper, we propose wavelet transform image compression method such that an image is decomposed into multiresolutions using biorthogonal wavelet transform with linear phase response property and decomposed subbands are classified by maximum classification gain. The classified data is quantized by allocating bits in accordance with classified class informations within subbands through arbitrary set bit allocation algorithm. And then, quantized data in each subband are entropy coded. The proposed coding method is that the quantized data perform shuffling before entropy coding in order to remove sign bit plane. And the context is assigned by maximum correlation direction for bit plane coding.
