This paper describes two algorithms for technology mapping of multiple output functions into interesting and pupular FPGAs(Field Programmable Gate Array) that use look-yp table memories. For improvement of technology mapping for FPGA, we use the functional decompoition method for multiple output functions. Two algorithms are proposed. The one is the Roth-Karpalgorithm extended for multiple output functions. The other is the efficient algorithm which looks for common decomposition functions through the decomposition procedure. The cost function is used to minimize the number of CLBs and nets and to improve performance of the network. Finally we compare our new algorithm with previous logic design technique. Experimental resutls show sigificant reduction in the number of CLBs and nets.

The need for developing effective coding techniques for various multimedia services is increasing in order to meet the demand for image data. In this paper, a zeroblock coding algorithm is proposed for progressive transmission of images. The zeroblock coding algorithm is constructed as an embedded coding so that the encoding and decoding process can be terminated at any point and allowing reasonable image quality. Some features of zeroblock coding algorithm are 1) coding of subband images by prediction of the insignificance of blocks across subband leels, 2) aset of sate transition rules for representing the significance map of blocks, and 3) block coding by vector quantization using a multiband codebook consisting of several subcodebooks dedicated for each subband at a given threshold.

The Communication Processing Systems(CPS) is a gateway that supports 01410 hitel service by connecting the public switched telephone network(PSTN) with the public switched data network(PSDN). The CPS is made the meausred rate accounting method for the biling after extracting the originating numbers from the nearest local PSTN. In this paper, a numerical simulation is carried out on the offered traffic per user on the telephone access part of the CPS according to change of call loss probability and also propose the proper number of channels based on the simulation results.

In this paper, we analyzed the serial interference cancellation scheme and proposed the new serial interference cancellation scheme suppressing multiple access interference. Compensating for the near-far effect and the multiple access interference is critical for the stable performance of DS/CDMA system, and the serial multiple access interference cancellation has been proposed as one of the compensation methods. But this serial interference cancellation scheme has a linear variation in the number of cancellation operation each users. Becaure of this variation, it is difficult to show a stable performance. Hence, we suggested a new serial interference applying window technique to overcome this fault and made a performance estiamation.

The measured pulse shapes provided in the given data package demonstrated pulse distortions due to laser speckle. the distorted pulse shapes were carefully analyzed, modeled, and then applied to the DTTL(Digital-data Transition Tracking Loop)[1] bit synchronizer simulator to measure the mean time delay and its delay variation performance. The result showed that the maximum mean time delay variation with the modeled data was 12.5% when window size equals 1. All the data given were located within this modeled boundary and the maximum eman time delay variation was 7% in this case. The mean time delay variation was known to be smaller by reducing the window size [2][5][6]. The mitigated delay variation was 2.5% in the modeled case and 1.4% in the data set given when the windown size equals 0.1. With the digital DTTL insteal of analog DTTL, similar results was obtained.

Multicasting to mobile hosts(MHs) based on broadeasting results in overloaded unnecessary messages in case of th number of recipient MHs is relatively small compared with that of nodes in a network. In this paper we propose an improved multicast protocol in which messages are selectively flooded only to the (radio) cells within some distance from the cells where destination MHs reside most recently, so that the number of unnecessary messages carried in broadcasting is reduced. Detailed procedures for the protocol are provided and protocol properties are proven.

The increased usage of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) required the method for automatic segmentation of medical image that is more useful so as to diagnose the dissecitive information of a atient quickly and effectively through MR scans.The use of neural networks may give much hep to solving the complex problems concerned the matter. This paper proposes the new method for automatic segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain by using neural networks brained by back-propagation algorithm. The trained neural networks by the segmenting MR images of a patient produce an output that networks can segment MR images of the other patients automatically, too and show a clear image of the brain.

This paper proposes recognition system using multi-backpropagation neural networks rather than single backpropagation neural network to enhance the rate of character recognition resultsing from extracting the region of velhicle number in that the image of vehicle number plate from CCD camera has a distinguish feature, that is, illumination of a pattern. The experiment in this paper shows an output that the method using multi-backpropagation neural networks rather than signal backpropagation neural network takes less training time for computation and also has higher recognition rage of vehicle number.

As recording densities increase in digital magnetic recording channels, the performances of digital detection techniques such as PRML and DFE degrade significantly due to nonlinear distortion in recording channels. The primary impediments for hgih-density recording are generally classified as nonlinear transition shift, which can be reduced substantially by the precompensation technique, and partial erasure which usually requires sophisticated nonlinear equalization techniques. In order to acheieve the highest density recording, accurate estimation of the parameters associated with these two noninear distortions is crucial. In this paper, a new estimation technique to distinguish these two different nonlinear effect using a proposed adaptive algorithm in time domain is presented. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive approach to identify uniquely the nonlinear parameter with bias is demonstrated by computer simulation.

Adaptive channel equalization complished without resorting to a training sequence is known as blind equalization. In this paper, in order to increase the speed of the convergence and to reduce the steady-state mean squared error simulatneously, we propose the multi-stage DD(decision-direct) algorithm derived from the combination of the Sato algorithm and the decision-directed algorithm. In the starting stage, the multi-stage DD algorithm is identical to the Sato algorithm which guarantees the convergence of the equalizer. As the blind equalizer converges, the number of the level of the quantizers is increased gradally, so that the proposed algorithm operates identical to the decision-directed algorithm which leads to the low error power after the convergence. Therefore, the multi-stage DD algorithm obtains fast convergence rate and low steady state mean squared error.

In this paper, the multi-stage radius-directed algorithm is applied to fractionally spaced equalizers which are insensitive to the sampling timing-phase. these equalizers exhibit good convergence characeristics when compared to fractionally spaced blind equalizers using conventional blind algorithms. Also, multi-model fractionally spaced blind equalizers, which use multiple symbol spaced blind equalizers that operate independently, converge faster than conventional fractionally spaced blind equalizers.

We propose a simle scheme for detecting tone signals narrowly spaced in the frequency by employing a nonlinear device called Teager's energy tracker. When the input signal is a tone signal, the output of Teager's energy tracker is proportional to the energy and tone frequency of the input signal. When the envelope of the input tone is varying, this tracker can also track the energy of the envelope. By employing Teager's algorithm as a preprocessor, the detector for narrowly spaced tone signals can be implemented without the use of sharp notch filters. As an example, the proposed detector is applied to distinguishing ITU-T V.8 and V.25 tone signals. The detector perfodrmance is analyszed and is verified by computer simulation.

In this paepr, we propose a dynamic multicast routin algorithm for constructing the delay-constrained minimal spanning tree in the VP-based ATM networks, in which we consider the effiiciency enen in the case wheree the destination dynamically joins/departs the multicast connection. For constructing the delay-constrained spanning tree, we frist generate a reduced network consisting of only VCX nodes from a given ATM network, originally consisting of VPX/VCX nodes. Then, we obtain the delay-constrained spanning tree with a minimal tree cost on the reduced network by using our proposed heuristic algorithm. Through numerical examples, we show that our dynamic multicast routing algorithm can provide an efficient usage of network resources when the membership nodes frequently changes during the lifetime of a multicast connection. We also demonstrate the more cost-saving can be expected in dense networks when applyingour proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a computer simulation of the Lornz discrete chaotic system is described. The chotic behavior closely matches the results predicted by numerical simulations. Using the concept of discrete synchronized chaotic systems, the possibility of a secure communication is proved by simulating the Lorenz system in both the transmitter and receiver. In the proposed approach, at first, a chaotic modulating signal is multiplied with the message, and these are transmitted with adding a chaotic modulating signals, and then at the receiver, the chaotic modulating signal is regenerated and divided from the receiver signal. Varying a smapling time interval to calibrate the robustness of the Lorenz discrete synchronized chaotic system as a nonlinear state estimator, we measured the performance of the Lorenz discrete syncrhonized chaotic system by comparing the synchronization error and the error between transmitted signal and received signal.

Due to the recent advances in computer technologies and high-speed networks, telecommunication services and provision of multimedia services will be considered a new software architecture adapting networking infrastructure on information networking architecture. In this paper, the video conference services has been selected as a target service example because it is expected to become one of the most important services on the full service network. In fact, it can be viewed as the basis for providing telecommunication services such as video telephony and video conferencing.

The prototyping of deskop video conference system aims at assessing TINA concepts and refinement of the mapping between session graph and connection graph, and provides support of open service platform towards distribution and objected-orientation.

The classes of Reverse Jacket matrix [RJ] and the corresponding Restclass Reverse Jacket matrix ([RRJ]) are defined;the main property of [RJ] is that the inverse matrices of them can be obtained very easily and have a special structure. [RJ] is derived from the weighted hadamard Transform corresponding to hadamard matrix [H] and a basic symmertric matrix D. the classes of [RJ] can be used as a generalize Quincunx subsampling matrix and serveral polygonal subsampling matrices.

In this paepr, we present a video-on-demand (VOD) system design model that address and integrates a number of inter-related issues. Then with analysis and performance evaluation, we investigate various aspects of disk and buffer managements in the given model. Based on the analysis results, we suggest that a distributed buffering scheme with intermediate buffers may te useful to transform bursty disk accesses into a continuous stream for for glitch-free performance of VOD systems. Also, through simulation, we illustrate that massive multimedia information storage design techniques such as prefetching, clustered striping, and real-time disk scheduling integrated with the distributed buffering mechanism may enhance end-to-end real-time performance of VOD systems under wide-area networks.

This paper describes a method for region segmentation and string extractionin documents which are mixed with text, graphic and picture images by the use of the structural characteristic of connceted components. In segmentation of non-text regionas, with connection-characteristic functions which are made by structural characteristic of connected components, segmentation process is progressed. In the string extraction, first we organize basic-unit-region of which vertical and horizontal length are 1/4 of average length of connection components. Second, by merging the basic-unit-regions one other that have smaller values than a given connection intensity threshold. Third, by linking the word blocks with similar block anagles, initial strings are cresed. Finally the whold strings are generated by merging remaining word blocks whose angles are not decided, if their height and prosition are similar to the initial strings. This method can extract strings that are neither horizontal nor of various character sizes. Through computer exteriments with different style documents, we have shown that the feasibility of our method successes.

This paper proposes a compression technique of image data, a variable length PN code and channel models which are required in CDMA communication system. It also analyzes their performances. Original images is compressed by 2-D DCT and its coefficients are quantized by optimal quantizer at compression rate 0.84bit/pel. Channel model 1 and 2 which are composed of 5 and 4 channels respectively are employed to be used in CDMA. Such a situation forces us to empoly variable length PN code, such as Chebyshev map for spread spectrum system. When average PN code length of model 1 and 2 is 44.4 and 26.7 chips respectively, the received image through these models under Gaussian noise with variance 1.75 is visually of the same quality as the transmitting image. Thus, the model 2 appears to be better in channel efficiency, comparing with channel model 1 and channel model which uses fixed length PN code.

This paepr presents a secure transmission system for document image using mixing algorithm. For this, we apply DM and RDM algorithm propoposed before. The transmitter embeds secretly the signature onto secure document, embeds it to non-secure document and transfers it to the receiver. The receiver makes a check of any forgery on the signature and the document. The total amount of data transmitted and the image quallity are about the same to that of the original document. Thus, a third party can not notice the fact that signatures and secure document is embedded on the document.

This paper presents a new CLSP/CC (Channel Load Sensing Protocol/Channel Clearance) in order to obtain better performance in spread slotted ALOHA networks. This proposed protocol can decrease a wasteful using of channel by prohibiting continuous transmissionof packets destroyed in previous slot, with little added system complexities. The performances of the proposed CLSP/CC, which include network throughput, average processing tiem and the number of mobile stations in retranmission state, are obtained and compared with those of existing CLSP by simulations in this paepr. As the resutls of simulations, the proposed CLSP/CC gets higher throughput and less average processing time, especially in the highly offered load. And CLSP/CC can obtain maximum network throughput at larger offered load than existing CLSP, so it enable to accommodate more mobile station or highly offered loads in slotted spread ALOHA networks.

Recently a new wireless communication architecture, a Virtual Cellular Network(VCN) was proposed in order to improve the preformance of a wireless network. Unlike a conventional cellular network, the VCN does not use a conventional frequency reuse concep. In the VCN, however, each mobile can use the entire system bandwidth. There is no pre-determined border of cells nor fixed based station for a mobile to communicate with. The performance of the VCN is improved by allowing any mobile to communicate with any port which residues in the virtual cell of the mobile. In this paepr, the Multi Packet Encoding (MPE) is proposed for the VCN uplink in order to improve the unfair throughput and delay caused by the position of the mobiles, and its performance is investigated via computer simulations. The Minimum Group(MG) is proposed for downlink protocol.

A novel method of adaptive beam forming is presented in this paper. The proposed technique provides for a suboptimal beam pattern that increases the Signal to Noise/Interference Ratio (SNR/SIR), thus, eventually increases the capacity of the communication channel, under an assumption that the desired signal is dominant compared to each component of interferences at the receiver, which is precoditionally achieved in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile communications by the chip correlator. The main advantages of the new technique are:(1)The procedure requires neither reference signals nor training period, (2)The signal interchoerency does not affect the performance or complexity of the entire procedure, (3)The number of antennas does not have to be greater than that of the signals of distinct arrival angles, (4)The entire procedure is iterative such that a new suboptimal beam pattern be generated upon the arrival of each new data of which the arrival angle keeps changing due tot he mobility of the signal source, (5)The total amount of computation is tremendously reduced compared to that of most conventional beam forming techniques such that the suboptimal beam pattern be produced at vevery snapshot on a real-time basis. The total computational load for generating a new set of weitht including the update of an N-by-N(N is the number of antenna elements) autocovariance matrix is . It can further be reduced down to O(11N) by approximating the matrix with the instantaneous signal vector.

Media access control(MAC) protocol that is used between aircraft and ground station now is non-persistent CSMA protocol, but this protocol hs defects to apply in the wireless mobile radio communication environment. In this paper, to solve this Problems, the modified ICMA/CD protocol which ban be applied in the wireless environment was proposed and analyzed. In the modified ICMA/CD protocol, instead of usig special control channel, control signal was inserted into the uplink message. After the analysis, simulation was performed to approve the analysis resutls. As a results, modified ICMA/CD protocol can solve the hidden termined effect of CSMA protocol and packet detection delay time problem of ICMA/CD protocol and acquired the same channel throughput as CSMA/CD protocol. This results shows the modified ICMA/CD protocol can be used in the aeronauical telecommunication.
