  • High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the most recent video coding standard to achieve a higher coding performance than the previous H.264/AVC. In order to accomplish this improved coding performance, HEVC adopted several advanced coding tools; however, these cause heavy computational complexity. Similar to previous video coding standards, motion estimation (ME) of HEVC requires the most computational complexity; this is because ME is conducted for three inter prediction modes - namely, uniprediction in list 0, uniprediction in list 1, and biprediction. In this paper, we propose an efficient inter prediction mode (EIPM) decision method to reduce the complexity of ME. The proposed EIPM method computes the priority of all inter prediction modes and performs ME only on a selected inter prediction mode. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces computational complexity arising from ME by up to 51.76% and achieves near similar coding performance compared to HEVC test model version 10.1.

  • We propose an efficient audio transcoding algorithm that can convert audio streams from terrestrial digital television broadcasting service stations to those for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting hand-held receivers. The proposed algorithm avoids the complicated psychoacoustic analysis by calculating the scalefactors of the bit-sliced arithmetic coding encoder directly from the signal-to-noise ratio parameters of the AC-3 decoder. The bit-allocation process is also simplified by cascading the nested distortion control loop. Through subjective evaluation, it is shown that the proposed algorithm provides comparable audio quality to tandem coding but it requires much smaller complexity.

  • This paper presents the possibility of the satellite broadcasting reception as a means of microstrip antenna of the planar structure. The paper discusses the design of the optimal KOREASAT DBS(Direct Broadcasting Satellite) reception microstrip antenna. Experimental results for ta 16*16 array antenna of size 35*35cm are also described. Itsgain is over 28dB in the frequency range of 11.7~12.0GHz DBS band. The measured NHK broadcasting C/N ratio of 16816 array antenna is over 10dB in Pusan. It is expected that good picture quality of C/N .GEQ. 12dB can be obtained for domestic use if this microstrip antenna is used in KOREASAT broadcasting receiving system.

  • This paper presents the design and implementation of a multi-mode mobile broadcasting Emergency Warning System (EWS) transmission and reception system which enables the propagation of disaster information using the encoding and transmission, reception and decoding methods specified in diverse mobile broadcasting standards. The implemented system supports global mobile broadcasting standards such as Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB), Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H), Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), and the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) digital radio standard. The system consists of two key part: an encoding/transmission part and a reception/decoding part. The multi-mode mobile broadcasting EWS encoding and transmission system generates EWS data according to each broadcasting specification. The generated EWS data is then transmitted through a channel interface which meets the commercial broadcasting equipment specification. The receiver system receives and decodes the EWS data on a single hardware platform and can display the results on screen. Verification and conformity testing has been carried out on the implemented system by transmitting emergency data for each mode in real-time and displaying the received information in text on the receiver display.

  • Technical standards for broadcasting and communications facilities are mandatory standard enacted by country and defines the essential matters the communication operators and related agencies should comply. Technical standards should be able to reflect the timely development of new communications services and technologies that it can provide the institutional framework for domestic adoption. This paper is to discuss the methodology for the development of a roadmap of technical standards and the direction of the revision of medium short-term technical standards.

  • This paper presents an efficient carrier recovery algorithm combined with a turbo-coding technique in a mobile communication system. By using a block turbo code made up of independently decodable block codes, we can efficiently recover the fast time-varying carrier phase as well as correct channel errors. Our simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme can accommodate mobiles with high speed, and at the same time can reduce the number of iterations to lock the phase.

  • We derive and analyze the exact closed-form expression for the average bit error probability (BEP) of M-ary square quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) for diversity reception in frequency-nonselective Nakagami fading. A maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique with independent or correlated fading cases are considered. Numerical results demonstrate error performance improvement with the use of MRC diversity reception. The presented new expressions offer a convenient way to evaluate the performance of M-ary square QAM with an MRC diversity combiner for various cases of practical interest.

  • A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that probes and exploits vulnerabilities of systems. It replicates and spreads itself to other computers via networks. In this paper, we study how to detect and prevent worms. First, we generated Codered II traffic on the emulated testbed called Deterlab. Then we identified dubious parts using Earlybird and wrote down Snort rules using Wireshark. Finally, by applying the Snort rules to the traffic, we could confirmed that worm detection was successfully done.
