In this paper, a binary-coded physical-layer network coding (PNC) is considered when high-order modulation techniques are used at source nodes in wireless communication environments. In the conventional PNC schemes, tight power control and phase compensation are required at a relay node. However, they may not be feasible in practical wireless communication environments. Thus, we do not assume the pre-equalization in this paper, and we only utilize the channel state information at receiver (CSIR). We propose a signal detection method for the binary-coded PNC with high-order modulation, such as QPSK and 16QAM, at the source nodes, while the conventional scheme only consider the BPSK at source nodes. We also analyze the bit-error performance of the proposed technique in both uncoded and coded cases.

In this paper, details of the design and implementation of a voice source simulator using Simulink and Matlab are discussed. This simulator is an implementation by model-based design concept. Voice sources can be analyzed and manipulated through various factors by choosing options from GUI input and selecting pre-defined blocks or user created ones. This kind of simulation tool can simplify the procedure of analyzing speech signals for various purposes such as voice quality analysis, pathological voice analysis, and speech coding. Also, basic analysis functions are supported to compare the original signal and the manipulated ones.

Viterbi docoder is a maximum likelihood decoding method for convolution coding used in satellite and mobile communications. In this paper, a Viterbi decoder with constraint length of K=7, 3-soft decision and traceback depth of $\Gamma$=96 for convolution code is implemented using VHDL. The hardware size of designed decoder is reduced by 4 bit pre-traceback in the survivor memory.

The symplified segmentation method was proposed for hardware implementation based on the human visual system. The segmentation method using fuzzy logic and just noticeable difference(JND) is composed of pre-filtering, initial segmentation and post processing. Experimental coding results show that reconstructed image using the proposed method is good on visual percerption even at a high compression ratio of 30:1.

Since the multi-view video is a set of video sequences captured by multiple array cameras for the same three-dimensional scene, it can provide multiple viewpoint images using geometrical manipulation and intermediate view generation. Although multi-view video allows us to experience more realistic feeling with a wide range of images, the amount of data to be processed increases in proportion to the number of cameras. Therefore, we need to develop efficient coding methods. One of the possible approaches to multi-view video coding is to generate an intermediate image using view interpolation method and to use the interpolated image as an additional reference frame. The previous view interpolation method for multi-view video coding employs fixed size block matching over the pre-determined disparity search range. However, if the disparity search range is not proper, disparity error may occur. In this paper, we propose an efficient view interpolation method using initial disparity estimation, variable block-based estimation, and pixel-level estimation using adjusted search ranges. In addition, we propose a multi-view video coding method based on H.264/AVC to exploit the intermediate image. Intermediate images have been improved about $1{\sim}4dB$ using the proposed method compared to the previous view interpolation method, and the coding efficiency have been improved about 0.5 dB compared to the reference model.

음성신호는 성문특성으로 인해 고주파 특성이 약화되는 경향이 있다. 이를 보상하기 위해 Pre-emphasis filter를 사용한다. 수식으로 표현하면 y(n)=s(n)-As(n-1) 와 같이 차분방정식으로 나타낼 수 있다. 여기서 A값은 보통 0.9에서 1사이의 값을 주로 사용한다. 그러나 Pre-emphasis filter는 고주파 특성을 보상하는 과정에서 극점과 같이 영점도 왜곡된다. 본 논문에서는 음성특성에 따른 LSP(Line Spectrum Pairs) 분포특성을 이용하여 영점을 보존하고 vocoder 및 coding에 필연적인 고주파 특성 혹은 저주파 특성을 강조한다.

This study explored the literature review for intending to make contemporary furniture expressed as postmodern aesthetics accessible to the broadest possible public, particularly through an examination and realization of art and everyday life, using qualitative analysis about the related literature as the principal methodology. The postmodern furniture aesthetics of communication expressed through double-coding, which was seen by Charles Jencks as the defining element of Post-Modernism, is characterized by the use of ideas from the traditions of craft. Hence, I dealt with pre-Modern furniture and Modern-furniture aesthetics as the background of postmodern furniture called New design furniture. As a result, contemporary furniture called New design furniture represented the use of ornament, craftsmanship, or beauty from the traditions of craft, which was a main source for communication value in postmodern furniture aesthetics.

In this paper, a coding algorithm is proposed for multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) systems to improve the reception performance in fading conditions without reducing the bandwidth efficiency. The space division multiple access (SDMA) scheme that is one of the commonly used for MU-MIMO systems is vulnerable to the fading. The space time block code (STBC) scheme that is used to overcome the fading has a disadvantage of reduced throughput. The proposed MU-MIMO system first encodes transmitted symbols by linear dispersion code (LDC) which is less vulnerable to the fading and increases the throughput in proportional to the number of transmit antennas. Then, the LDC coded symbols are pre-coded by the result of singular value decomposition (SVD) of the estimated channel gain. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme compared with the conventional algorithms by computer simulations.

Recently terrestrial digital broadcasting systems have experienced a growth with the demand of high data rate. In order to meet such demand, the MIMO technology has received a wide attention. This paper proposes a pre-coding method, which provides high space channel correlation for the improved performance over terrestrial broadcasting channels when the polarized $2{\times}2$ MIMO SM is adopted for DVB-NGH systems. When signals with two different modulation orders are transmitted through two antennas, a method that is based on non-uniform power is also proposed for improved reception performance. To optimize the proposed method, phase shifting values for the pre-coding method and appropriate unequal power ratio are obtained. These obtained parameters are applied to a terrestrial broadcasting system, and then the performance improvement over the conventional SM is shown through computer simulations.

The coding sequence of hepatitis B viral core antigen (HBcAg) (subtype adr) contains two in-phase initiation codons, one for precore and the other for core antigen gene. To study the expression of core antigen and the role of precore region, the coding sequence of HBcAg with or without precore (pre-C) region were subcloned into yeast expression vector containing phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter. To study the role of upstream region in the expression of the core antigen, a series of 5' deletion mutants were also subcloned into the vector. After transformation into various host strains, the expression of HBcAg were analysed by radio-immunoassat. Under optimal condition of core antigen gene expression in yeast, the highest amount of antigen was detected in the cell line SHY4 containing pGKHBc plasmid composed of the yeast PGK gene promoter, terminator and C-gene. Regardless of the presence of precore region, core antigen was not detected in the medium but in cell extract. These results suggest that precore region cannot affect the secretion of core antigen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
