Current generation embedded systems are built around only a small number of SOCs, which are again based on general-purpose embedded micro-processors, such as ARM and MIPS. These RISC-based processors are not, however, designed for specific functions such as networking and multimedia processing, whose importances have increased dramatically in recent years. Network devices for small business and home networks, are especially dependent upon such SOCs based on general processors. Except for PHY and MAC layer functions, which are built with hardware, all the network functions are processed by the embedded micro-processor. Enabling technologies such as VDSL and FTTH promise Internet access with a much higher speed, while at the same time explore the limitations of general purpose microprocessors. In this paper we design a network processor, embed it into an SOC for Home gateway, evaluate the performance rigorously, and gauge a possibility for commercialization.

Mobile IP has been designed only to maintain communications as mobile devices move from a place to a place, so it does not guarantee Quality of Service (QoS). Hierarchical MIPv6 improved QoS somewhat using Mobility Anchor Point(MAP), but QoS guarantee problem still remains. QoS in mobile IP is important to provide multimedia and real-timeapplications services in a mobile environment, and QoS is closely related to handoff delay. Therefore, handoff delay problem is actively studied as a main issue in mobile IP research area to guarantee QoS. In this paper, we suggest SNMP Information-based routing that adds keyword management method to Information-based routing in an active network in order to resolve such a problem, Suggested QoS controlled method and existing handoff method, simulations are carried out with NS-2 for performance evaluation. The results of simulations show an improvement on handoff delay, and consequently the QoS improvement.

An AP that is used by smart device is going to be complicated because smart devices support diverse functions. As a result, multiple low-level IPs including a dedicated CPU are integrated in a high-level subsystem for supporting complicated function such as multimedia codec and camera. A subsystem has software that executes separately from main system, and the software needs to be initialized for every execution of the subsystem. This causes increase of the subsystem startup time so it should be improved because startup time of subsystem affects launching time of application. Methods in applied to computer system for fast startup also could be applied to fast startup of subsystem because subsystem is similar with computer system. In this paper, we apply snapshot method that is used in computer system to subsystem and analyzes the pros and cons. And snapshot method could not be applied to register of IP without modification because register of IP offers restricted read and write. So this paper suggests technique that applying snapshot to each characteristic of register.

Recently smart phone and tablet PC are regarded as the most valuable mobile devices, so the demand of customers for multimedia supporting has been greatly increased. The network operators are now considering the deployment of relay stations ensuring low installation costs for its service cell to improve the cell capacity. Enhancing the relay stations, however, increases intra-cell interference, which is affecting the quality of service and outage ratio. In this paper, we present MPFR(Multihop Partial Frequency reuse) as the new frequency reuse scheme to increase cell throughput while maintaining low outage ratio for the OFDMA cellular multihop networks. Dynamic power control is also introduced to improve cell capacity. Overall cell throughput and outage ratio are observed by the simulation, and comparison between MPFR and conventional multihop frequency reuse schemes is convincing the performance enhancement.

As the number of large size multimedia files increases and the importance of individual's digital data grows, storage devices have been advanced to store more data into smaller spaces. In such circumstances, a physical damage in a storage device can destroy large amount of important data. Therefore, it is needed to verify the robustness of various physical faults in storage device before certain systems are used. We developed SOAR(Storage Reliability Analyzer), Storage Reliability Analyzer, to detect physical faults in diverse kinds of HDD hardware components and to recover the systems from those faults. This is a useful tool to verify robustness and reliability of a disk. SOAR uses three unique methods of creating physical damages on a disk and two unique techniques to apply the same feature on file systems. In this paper, we have performed comprehensive tests to verify the robustness and reliability of storage device with SOAR, and from the verification result we could confirm SOAR is a very efficient tool.

Current communication networks consist of channels with various throughputs, protocols, and packet loss rates. Moreover, there are also diverse user multimedia consumption devices having different capabilities and screen sizes. Thus, a practical necessity of scalability on video coding have been gradually increasing. Recently, The Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding(SHVC) standard is developed by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding(JCT-VC) organized in cooperation with MPEG of ISO/IEC and VCEG of ITU-T. This paper introduces coding tools of SHVC including adopted and unadopted tools discussed in the process of the SHVC standardization. Furthermore, the individual tool and combined tool set are evaluated in terms of coding efficiency relative to a single layer coding structure. This analysis would be useful for developing a fast SHVC encoder as well as researching on a new scalable coding tool.

In this paper, we propose an advanced hardware architecture for the CAVLC entropy encoder/decoder engine for real time video compression. The CAVLC (Context-based Adaptive Variable Length Coding) is a lossless compression method in H.264/AVC and it has high compression efficiency but has computational complexity. The reference memory size is optimized using partitioned storing method and memory reuse method which are based on partiality of memory referencing. We choose the hardware architecture which has the most suitable one in several encoder/decoder architectures for the mobile devices and improve its performance using parallel processing. The proposed architecture has been verified by ARM-interfaced emulation board using Altera Excalibur and also synthesized on Samsung 0.18 um CMOS technology. The synthesis result shows that the encoder can process about 300 CIF frames/s at 150MHz and the decoder can process about 250 CIF frames/s at 140Mhz. The hardware architectures are being used as core modules when implementing a complete H.264/AVC video encoder/decoder chip for real-time multimedia application.
