Fast IP address lookup in routers is essential to achieve packet forwarding in wire-speed. The longest prefix matching for IP address lookup is more complex than exact matching because of its dual dimensions, length and value. By thoroughly studying the current proposals for IP address lookup, we find out that the binary search could be a low-cost solution while providing high performance. Most of the existing binary search algorithms based on trie have simple data structures which can be easily implemented, but they have some problems because of empty internal nodes. The proposed algorithm is based on trie structure, but empty internal nodes are replaced by priority prefixes. The best-matching-prefix search in the proposed algorithm is more efficiently performed since search can be finished earlier when input is matched with a priority prefix. The performance evaluation results show that the constructed priority-trie has very good performance in the lookup speed and the scalability.

iSCSI is a block-oriented storage access protocol that enables a user to recognize a remote storage as their own local block device through general TCP/IP networks. This paper presents an alternative approach to overcome the limited storage space of mobile devices based on the iSCSI initiator driver in IPv6 environment, which was originally designed for wired networks.

F-HMIPv6 is protocol that supports fast handovers for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6. Unlike HMIPv6 (Hierarchical Mobile IPv6), it sends FBU(Fast Binding Update) by predicted Router's Information for a potential handover. But, The current version of this protocol doesn't ensure impeccably between mobile node and router. To make up for the weak points of the security, we propose the architecture for F-HMIPv6 protocol to structurally reinforce the security and improve weak security of among mobile node, MAP(Mobility Anchor Point), and routers for binding update when mobile node conducts handovers.

In this paper, an efficient butterfly structure for Radix-4 FFT algorithm using DA(Distributed Arithmetic) is proposed. It is shown that DA can be efficiently used in twiddle factor calculation of the Radix-4 FFT algorithm. The Verilog-HDL coding results for the proposed DA butterfly structure show 61.02% cell area reduction comparison with those of the conventional multiplier butterfly structure. Furthermore, the 64-point Radix-4 pipeline structure using the proposed butterfly and delay commutators is compared with other conventional structures. Implementation coding results show 46.1% cell area reduction.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive SLM scheme based on peak observation for PAPR reduction of OFDM signals. The proposed scheme is composed of three steps: peak scaling, sequence selection, and SLM procedures. In the first step, the peak signal samples in the IFFT outputs of the original input sequence are scaled down. In the second step, the sub-carrier positions where power difference between the original input sequence and the FFT outputs of the scaled signal is large, are identified. Then, the phase sequences which have the maximum number of phase-reversed sequence words only for these positions, are selected. Finally, only using the selected phase sequences, the generic SLM procedure is performed for the original input sequence. Simulation results reveal that the proposed adaptive SLM remarkably reduces the complexity in terms of IFFT and PAPR calculations than the conventional SLM, while maintaining the PAPR reduction performance.

In this paper, we propose a robust detection scheme of OSTBCs with channel estimation errors over time-selective fading channels. Channel estimation errors are inevitable over time-selective fading channels and even small channel estimation errors dramatically degrade the performance of space-time block coding schemes. Therefore, it is desired to investigate the effect of channel estimation errors on the performance of the proposed detection scheme compared with the existing detection scheme. The proposed detection scheme minimizes noise enhancement and impact of channel estimation errors which occur in an existing detection scheme. It is shown by simulations that the proposed detection scheme performs better than the existing detection scheme over time-selective fading channels.

In this paper, to reduce uplink feedback information for the beam weight and simultaneously maintaining the performance, we propose a MIMO-OFDM (Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system based on beamforming with antenna selection. In the proposed system, to perform the beamforming with more useful transmit antennas, the optimal combination of transmit antennas with maximum MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) beamforming gain is selected. Simulation results reveal that the proposed MIMO-OFDM system adopting the beamforming with antenna selection can reduce the feedback information for the beam weights as compared to the system using all the transmit antennas without serious degradation of system performance.

In this paper, to improve OFDM PAPR reduction performance of the conventional SLM method, we propose an effective SLM-PRSC hybrid scheme based on the repeated utilization of identical PRSC sequences in time domain. In the proposed scheme, after performing the SLM for the frequency domain OFDM symbol excluding the pre-determined PRSC positions, the final SLM-PRSC hybrid sequence with the lowest PAPR, which is generated by adding the time domain PRSC sequence to the results of the SLM is selected as the transmitted OFDM symbol. In particular, since the identical PRSC sequences generated a priori are repeatedly used for every OFDM symbol, excessive IFFT calculations are avoided. Moreover, the selected PRSC symbols in the frequency domain may be utilized as an overhead information for the SLM. Simulation results reveal that the proposed SLM-PRSC hybrid scheme can remarkably improve the PAPR reduction performance of the conventional SLM, while avoiding excessive increase of IFFT and PAPR calculations and the overhead for the SLM.

Computer Forensics is a research area which finds the malicious users by collecting and analyzing the intrusion or infringement evidence of the computer crime. Many research about Computer Forensics has been done. But those research have focussed on how to collect the evidence after receiving the damage reports from computer users or network administrators. This paper describes about collecting the evidence of good quality at the time of infringement occurrence by the malicious user. By calculating Infringement severity of observable and protective hosts and referring to this value, we collect the evidence at the time of infringement occurrence to minimize the information modification of the evidence. We can reduce also the amount of logs that we use to analyze the infringement and can minimize the loss of the evidence.

In this paper, we describe a security problem of IPsec. And we propose a solution for this problem. The problem is a fragility of IPsec Gateway which is used in tunnel mode. The role of IPsec Gateway is encrypting or decrypting IPsec packets. Because of the role of IPsec Gateway, IPsec Gateway suffers overhead for decrypting numerous packets. Adversaries can easily attack IPsec Gateway using a DDoS attack. To solve this problem, we propose the "Priority based Random Packet Drop" method. In this method, the white list which is a list of normal users is created. After that, according to the frequency of uses, the method marks priorities of random drops to the white list. If anomalous traffic appeared, this method will drop many packets which consist of anomalous traffic. In simple experiment, we show our solution is proper to defend IPsec Gateway. For this experiment, we use empirical backbone traffic which includes DoS attacks.

This paper modeled UWB system transmission channel in indoor environment. For channel modeling, we extracted transmission channel parameter, and then measured from 10MHz to 16.01GHz by using method of CIR(Channel Impulse Response) and CTF(Channel Transfer Function) in small room($5.5{\times}5.5m^2$) environment.

In this paper, we propose a rapid asynchronous UWB (Ultra Wide Band) position location scheme based on double RTTs (Round-Trip Transmissions). In the proposed scheme, to avoid performance degradation of the position location in harsh multipath channel environments where LoS (Line-of-Sight) components are not always guaranteed, the remaining RTT information is solved from realistic double RTTs. Simulation results in IEEE 802.15.4a UWB channel models reveal that the proposed scheme can achieve closely comparable position location accuracy of the conventional ToA (Time of Arrival) method based on triple RTTs, while reducing the processing delay required for the calculation of the position locations.

The Result of Simulation shows BER characteristics by SNR.

Digital satellite systems are usually integrated with terrestrial systems to provide various services, and in these cases they should satisfy the performance objectives defined by the terrestrial systems. Recommendation ITU-R S.1062 specifies the performance of digital satellite systems. The performance objectives were given in terms of bit error probability divided by the average number of errors per burst versus percentage of time. This paper presents theoretical method to estimate performance measure of digital satellite systems defined in Recommendation ITU-R S.1062. We show performance estimation results of duo-binary Turbo codes, and verify them by comparing to the simulation results.

In this paper, we propose an efficient video streaming method to improve quality of service (QoS) over wireless 3G network. In the proposed method, the video stream is adopted in various available bandwidth (AB) using dynamic frame skipping (DFS). In addition, error concealment (EC)compensates the video degradation by transmitting the MVs of the skipped frame. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method provides better QoS for video stream than the conventional methods.

In this paper, we analytically evaluate packet delay and energy consumption of S-MAC protocol with a modified Markov chain model. Although some models, based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, to analyze the S-MAC protocol in wireless sensor network (WSN) have been proposed, they fail to consider the differences in architecture between the S-MAC and the 802.11 MAC. Therefore, by reflecting the significant features in the S-MAC function, we model the operation of S-MAC protocol, and derive its packet delay and energy consumption in single-hop WSN. Numerical results show the delay and the dissipated energy at various duty cycle values according to offered load, where a practical mote is used.

Directional antennas are used to improve spatial reuse, but have the problem of deafness. The DUDMAC protocol uses the ORTS, OCTS, DDATA, and DACK mechanisms and a blocking algorithm for directional transmissions. In this paper, we propose a tone dual-channel directional MAC (Tone DUDMAC) protocol to improve spatial reuse. The Tone DUDMAC protocol uses the ORTS, DCTS, DDATA, and DACK mechanisms including the DDATA_tone and OCTS_tone. We use ORTS as that in DUDMAC because of location unawareness of neighbor's nodes. The DDATA_tone and OCTS_tone reduce a blocking area and improve spatial reuse. We confirm the throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol by computer simulations using Qualnet ver.3.8 simulator.

Ad hoc MAC protocols using directional antennas can be used to improve the network capacity by improving spatial reuse. But, the directional MAC protocols have the problem of deafness and have a poor throughput performance. The dual-channel DMAC protocol has been proposed to mitigate deafness and improve spatial reuse. In this paper, we propose a dual-channel DMAC protocol using the omnidirectional antenna for an out-of-band tone and directional antennas for control/data channels. In the proposed MAC protocol, an omnidirectional out-of-band tone mitigates deafness and directional antennas used in control/data channels improve spatial reuse and reduce interference packets. The throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol is confirmed by computer simulations using Qualnet ver. 3.8 simulator.

TCP applied to the wireless-wired integrated network is the one that was applied to the existing wired network. In the wireless-wired integrated network, both wireless and congestion loss can occur. When wireless packet losses occur, the congestion control of TCP causes performance degradation by reducing its transmission rate. In this paper, we propose the algorithm to distinguish the wireless packet loss from congestion packet loss using MIB of the 802.11 MAC which has been generally used recently in wireless links.

In this paper, using Bianchi's model with channel idle probability we analyze performance of power management scheme of IEEE 802.11 DCF according to ATIM window size and number of nodes for wireless ad hoc networks.

The structure is expected to have a wide range of applications in antennas and filters due to its compactness and integrability in circuits.

The distance between the cental office and the user is 20km and the data rate is 100Mbps maximum. Of course, the optical network used just one fiber optical core. For the basic material, we obtained the characteristics of optical transceiver module, Mux/Demux and transmission qualities depends on the environment.

A new broadcasting standard for Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(DMB) has been announced in Korea to provide audio, video, and data broadcasting services. There exist two types of DMB; terrestrial DMB and satellite DMB. And in order to service DMB on the single system, the integration of RF module is required. In this paper, we describe an integrated RF tuner module that can receive T-DMB and S-DMB at the same time, which includes an L-band down-converter, a Band III tuner, and a S-DMB tuner.

This paper presents a signal quality estimation technique for QAM modulation systems. By making a LUT(Look-up table) putting the number of N enough, we can derive estimated SNR from LUT even though N is small. That is so called MOTM algorithm. In 16-QAM, the distance $d_a$, between adjacent symbols is always invariable, so absolute value of R(the amplitude of signal) minus $d_a$ has a always same signal distribution value. This value does not form a Gaussian shape but, by making a little bit correction, we can make this symmetrical. So, from the received symbol value, by using LUT we can easily derive the estimated SNR. By considering this, we introduce a signal quality estimation technique for QAM schemes. This proposed method can be applicable to high order modulation schemes and wide range of signal to noise ratio.

In this paper, we compare two different anti-jamming schemes, Subspace projection and SCORE algorithm. For multipath cancelation, nulling technique is applied to both anti-jamming schemes. It is noted that SCORE algorithm is more robust to the multipath interference. It is also noted that Subspace projection scheme requires nulling technique for multipath mitigation.

Most work on cooperative diversity has assumed that the cooperating group (source and partners) and the associated average channel conditions between terminals (source, partners, and destination) are predetermined. In practical situations, however, it is important to develop the efficient algorithms for assigning the terminals with good inter-user channels for cooperating groups. In this paper, we propose the partner assignment algorithm for cooperative diversity in mobile communication systems. The proposed partner assignment algorithm is investigated by using the path loss model for mobile communication systems. Numerical results show that the proposed partner assignment algorithm provides the comparable probability of cooperative transmission to the partner assignment algorithm using exhaustive search. The probability of cooperative transmission increases with the number of users, which gives potential benefits of practical implementation to user cooperation in mobile communication systems.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive turbo system for a varying channel between being frequency-flat and frequency-selective. The proposed system unites a turbo code and a turbo equalization and selects one of two algorithms adaptively to the channel variation with the feedback information from the receiver. The performance of the proposed system in varying channel is evaluated by computer simulation when the feedback delay exists. It is shown that when the feedback delay is moderate, the proposed system outperforms both the conventional turbo code system and turbo equalization system without increasing the complexity.

In this paper, we propose a new selective scanning scheme based on hand-off path information, which can provide an efficient reducing of delay time. This scheme eliminates almost of the scanning delay time by using Selective Scan based on Experience Path Table(SSEPT) algorithm and also completed hand-off within few milliseconds by using the next candidate channel indexing mechanism. Our scheme reduces the total number of scanning channels as well as the delay time on each channel. From the simulation result, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the legacy schemes in terms of the scanning channels and the total delay time.

In this paper, the performances of the IEEE 802.15.4 under the IEEE 802.11b interference are compared under two kinds of channel sensing mechanisms: carrier sense (CS) and energy detection (ED).

Further, several IUMS services including disaster detection and prevention system (DDPS), bus information system (BIS) and real time location system (RTLS) are demonstrated in order to employ IUMS for the realization of future ubiquitous city (U-city).

Fusion of decisions from multiple distributed sensor nodes is studied in this work. Based on the canonical parallel fusion model, we derive the optimal likelihood ratio based fusion rule with the assumptions of the generalized Gaussian noise model and the arbitrary fading channel. This optimal fusion rule, however, requires the complete knowledge of the channels and the detection performance of local sensor nodes. To mitigate these requirements and to provide near optimum performance, we derive suboptimum fusion rules by using high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approximations to the optimal fusion rule. Performance evaluation is conducted through simulations.

One of the fundamental problems in sensor networks is the deployment of sensor nodes. The Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering algorithm is proposed to determine the optimum location and minimum number of sensor nodes for the specific application space. We performed a simulation using two dimensional L shape model. The actual length of the L shape model is about 100m each. We found the minimum number of 15 nodes are sufficient for the complete coverage of modeled area. We also found the optimum location of each nodes. The real deploy experiment using 15 sensor nodes shows the 95.7%. error free communication rate.

Similar to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), a Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) system is computationally efficient since equalization is performed on a block of data in the frequency domain. In coherent QAM schemes, the mean phase rotation error caused by the residual carrier frequency offset may lead to serious degradation. When the frequency equalizer is combined with the mean phase error tracking algorithm, its performance can be enhanced noticeably.

It is important to identify the exact target optical cable that a worker look for when he executes a cable construction work. Until now, An Optical cable identification work has been done by a manual pulling of an optical cable or by the method of using RF signals. But these methods not only consume much time and labor costs but also have a distance limit of the optical cable to identify. In this paper, we propose a method that uses the phase change signal of the optical interferometer to identify an optical cable. With the proposed method the field worker can have an efficient tool to prevent miscutting the optical cable and can also save operating costs.

The simulation results show that the proposed method shows possibilities to increase the data rate with a moderate degradation of the existing system.

In this paper, dual-gate mixer has been designed and optimized to have variable conversion gain for WiBro and WLAN applications and to save power. With the LO power of 0dBm and RF power of -50dBm, the mixer shows 15dB conversion gain. When RF power increases from -50dBm to -20dBm, the conversion gain decreases to -2dB with bias change. The variable conversion gain can reduce the high dynamic range requirement of AGC burden at IF stage. Also, it can save the dc power dissipation of mixer up to 90%.

In this paper, we propose a novel signaling method using chirp signals in UWB radio with satisfaction of FCC regulation. Chirp signals have been used in many ranging systems such as radar because of its good correlation properties. Because it is important to use broader signal bandwidth in order to get higher precision of the ranging, according to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound, UWB radio is extremely good as the ranging systems. But, it is very difficult to apply existing chirp signals to UWB, because FCC regulates that the systems operating in UWB radio must occupy signal bandwidth more than 500MHz on the condition of stopping the frequency sweeping. So, we propose multiple chirp signals which can satisfy the regulation of FCC while maintaining chirp signal's properties. The multiple chirp signals which are composed of the sub-chirps modulated by sub-carriers can expand the signal bandwidth with the same principle of OFDM systems. The simulation results show that the BER performance of the proposed multiple chirp signals is identical to that of conventional OFDM when it is applied to data communication, and that the correlation properties of the proposed signals are almost the same with properties as those of single chirp signals whose sweeping bandwidth is the same value with the proposed one.

As the research of wireless personal area network (WPAN) is more activated, various communication systems operating on 2.4Ghz are being developed. Systems such as Bluetooth, 802.11b, Zigbee and DBO-CSS are operating on 2.4Ghz. In addition to these communication systems, microwave oven resides in 2.4Ghz, so co-existance between each of these communication systems and microwave Oven is considered important factor of system performance. The effect of microwave oven on these communication systems is so critical that these systems are recommended to avoid the impact of microwave oven by allocation of different channel. In this paper, based on the DBO-CSS operating on 2.4Ghz, we propose a new algorithm of reducing the effect of microwave oven to develop robust communication system against microwave oven.

XML Web Services are a distributed computing component which enables users to use services existing in remote places by using a standardized language called XML. Web Services were developed as the cooperation and business scales between companies as businesses had been widened due to the improvement of internet services. For this reason, enterprise sized Web Services are mainly used at present. But as the number of Internet users has been increased, they became in need of more diverse services, and providing individual Web Services are also being more emphasized. Therefore, an Embedded Web Server for personal Web Services for embedded systems such as cell phones had been implemented in this paper. This paper shows the possibility of building up a small, personal sized Web Services Server not the enterprise sized one by doing real implementation.

In this paper, when concurrent transmission and diversity reception at each relay are assumed to increase bandwidth efficiency in linear multihop system, we analyze interference due to concurrent transmission and verify it. In the interference-free environment, more diversity sources at each relay result in better performance [1][2]. However, interference degrades BER performance because accumulated and propagated interference power surpasses original data power. Therefore, if we use the result of this paper, we can make bandwidth efficiency increase as well as BER performance good in linear multihop system by considering concurrent transmission with reuse factor and developing the algorithm which determines the number of diversity source.

In CDMA based mobile communication network, signaling messages are routed through Signaling Transfer Point(STP) which is responsible for MTP layer 3 switching. As WCDMA based UMTS network is considered as next generation technology allowing global roaming services, all nodes in networks have their own identity number called Global Title(GT).

In this paper, we propose the signaling network architecture in UMTS networks using SG and we show that we can reduce CAPEX and OPEX in each node. To show the validity of the proposed method some simulations are given in which the results can be expected by intuitive observation.

We present and demonstrate a novel method of alternate-phase return-to-zero (RZ) signal generation and pulse-amplitude equalization simultaneously in a rational harmonic mode-locked fiber ring laser, using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator. By adjusting the voltages applied to both arms of the modulator, the rational harmonic mode-locked pulse trains are equalized in their amplitudes. In addition to that, the amplitude-equalized pulse trains multiplying the repetition rate at ${\sim}10\;GHz$ have alternate $\pi$ phase difference between adjacent pulses. The alternate-phase RZ signal generated by the proposed method enhances transmission performance through the single-mode fiber (SMF) links without dispersion compensation.

This paper represents a Doherty amplifier with analog predistorter to improve the linearity of the Doherty amplifier while preserving the high efficiency. A $3^{rd}$-order predistorter cancels $5^{th}$-order intermodulation (IM5) as well as $3^{rd}$-order intermodulation (IM3) components by their same phase difference in the predistorter and Doherty amplifier. This is accomplished by independently controlling their phase by using the phase-controlled error generator in the predistorter. For experimental verification, a $3^{rd}$-order predistorter has been implemented and tested in a 180-W Doherty amplifier at the wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) band. The measured results show good performance with the predistortion Doherty amplifier.

Simulation results showed that the proposed system improves considerably on the performance of the fixed bandwidth.

In this thesis, we analyze performance related to reduction scheme of inter-cell interference causing serious problems in portable internet system. Frequency reusing factor(FUF) is 1 in portable internet system, and it means that a adjacent cell uses same frequency band. This channel environment raises inter-cell interference problem, which provokes serious problems related to system performance and channel capacity. Consequently, it affects deterioration in system performance as a whole. We analyze inter-cell interference when appling a various schemes such as (DCA)Dynamic Channel Allocation, CS(Channel Segregation), IDMA(Interleave Division Multiple Access), FH-OFDM, CRSA(Conceptual Random Subcarrier Allocation), and HDD

IEEE 802.16 networks support mobile stations (MSs) to access broadband wireless networks while moving at a vehicular speed. However, IEEE 802.16 networks do not provide link layer native multicast capability because of point-to-multipoint connection characteristic. Due to this feature, it is not easy to adopt protocols or applications which need native link layer multicast capability. In order to solve the multicast support problem, we use the built-in LAN emulation feature of IEEE 802.16 which is based on Convergence Sublayer (CS). Our proposed operational procedures support not only the delivery of link local scope multicast packets, but also the delivery of non-link local scope multicast packets such as site local or global scope multicast packets. We also present the method of forming multicast Connection Identifier (CID) which is used to transport IP packets over IEEE 802.16 networks.

In this study, we examined all peaks of confocal Raman spectra as peaks are the most important features for discrimination between basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and normal tissue (NOR). 14 peaks were extracted from these peaks using decision tree. For dimension reduction, frequently selected 4 peaks were chosen. They are located at 1014, 1095, 1439, $1523cm^{-1}$. These peaks were used as an input feature of the multilayer perceptron networks (MLP). According to the experimental results, MLP gave classification error rate of about 6.5%.

MPEG Surround is an audio coding technology that represents multi-channel audio signal with downmixed audio signal(s) and very low bitrate side information based on Binaural Cue Coding. The side information consists of Inter-Channel Level Difference, Inter-Channel Correlation, and payloads. These two parameters are correspondent to the well-known spatial parameters in psycho-acoustics, Inter-aural Level Difference (ILD) and Inter-Aural Cross Correlation (IACC). Though ICLD is to provide perceptually equivalent ILD to the listener, however, the ILD of the original multi-channel audio signal and that of the MPEG Surround encoded signal was different. The difference between two ILD values is defined as ILD Distortion (ILDD). This paper provides how ILDD can be applied to enhance sound quality in MPEG Surround and how much ILDD is decreased.

GMM and HMM (Discrete and Continuous Hidden Markov Model), are studied as well in the hope that the use of continuous distribution and the temporal evolution of this set of features will improve the quality of emotion recognition.

In this paper, we propose a new sound localization algorithm for an active perception system. In an active perception system, an acquired sound is mixed with the sound of motors.

Nowadays adaptive technique allows arrays of any geometry to be used with fast direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimators designed for linear arrays. So the interpolation of data from a given antenna array onto the output of a virtual array is needed before the direction finding technique is applied to the outputs of a uniform linear virtual array (ULVA). In this paper some superresoluntion methods are used to estimate DOA by best-fit transformation matrix T under different nonuniformly spaced array.

In this paper, we presented an extension of the broadband DOA estimation method using frequency-domain frequency-invariant beamforming (FDFIB). The technique uses FDFIB instead of conventional frequency invariant beamforming (FIB) methods. And different narrowband DOA estimation methods, MUSIC, ESPRIT, and MPM, are used respectively. A comparison is made to demonstrate that the FDFIB-MPM not only offers a better resolution than the FDFIB-MUSIC, FDFIB-ESPRIT, but also it is computationally very efficient.

In this paper, we design and implement an active perception system. The proposed active perception system consists of four parts : an active robot, an aural active perception part, a visual perception part and an association part.

Raman spectroscopy has strong potential for providing noninvasive dermatological diagnosis of skin cancer. In this study, we investigated two classification methods with maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classification. The classification framework consists of preprocessing of Raman spectra, feature extraction, and classification. In the preprocessing step, a simple windowing method is proposed to obtain robust features. Classification results with MLP involving 216 spectra preprocessed with the proposed method gave 97.3% sensitivity, which is very promising results for automatic Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) detection.

In this paper, we address several issues in the real time implementation of MPEG-1 Layer II decoder on a fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP), especially TMS320C6416. There is a trade-off between processing speed and the size of program/data memory for the optimal implementation. In a view of the speed optimization, we first convert the floating point operations into fixed point ones with little degradation in audio quality, and then the look-up tables used for the inverse quantization of the audio codec are forced to be located into the internal memory of the DSP. And then, window functions and filter coefficients in the decoder are precalculated and stored as constant, which makes the decoder faster even larger memory size is required. It is shown from the real-time experiments that the fixed-point implementation enables us to make the decoder with a sampling rate of 48 kHz operate with 3 times faster than real-time on TMS320C6416 at a clock rate of 600 MHz.

Since audio speech recognition is affected by noise in real environment, visual speech recognition is used to support speech recognition. For the visual speech recognition, this paper suggests the extraction of lip-feature using two types of image segmentation and reduced ASM. Input images are transformed to YCbCr based images and lips are segmented using the contrast of Y/Cb/Cr between lip and face. Subsequently, lip-shape model trained by PCA is placed on segmented lip region and then lip features are extracted using ASM.

According to the previous work, various well known methods including maximum a posteriori probability classifier (MAP) and multi layer perceptron networks classifier (MLP) showed competitive results. Since even the small errors often leads to a fatal result, we investigated the method that reduces classification error perfectly by screening out some ambiguous patterns. Those ambiguous patterns can be examined by routine biopsy. We incorporated an ambiguous category in MAP and MLP. Classification results involving 216 spectra gave 100% sensitivity for the case of MLP.

In this paper, an efficient and fast algorithm to reduce calculation amount of FIR(Finite Impulse Responses) filtering is proposed. Proposed algorithm enables arbitrary size of parallel processing, and their structures are also easily derived. Furthermore, it is shown that the number of multiplication/sample is reduced, and number of instructions using MAC(Multiplication and Accumulation) processor are also reduced. For theoretical improvement, numbers of sub filters are compared with those of conventional algorithm. In addition to the theoretical improvement, it is shown that number of element for hardwired implementation are reduced comparison to those of the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an efficient rate control scheme based on the received power level to overcome a quality degradation of video under time varying channel condition caused by the movement of mobile devices. First, we statistically obtain the relation between the PLR and the received power level. With this information and the sequences of received power level, we calculate the transition probability for the Markov Channel Model. Then, with using Markov chain rule, we obtain the probability where the channel condition remains in a good state and finally find the efficient target bit rate by multiplying it by the offered bandwidth when the network access has begun. We use TMN8 to adjust the bit rate to our proposed outcome. Experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently enhance the video quality and provide better PSNR performance than with only using TMN8 rate control method.

Advanced TV makes the life more convenient for the viewers and it is based on the recognition technology. In this paper, we propose the implementation of face tracking system for efficient face recognition in intelligent digital TV. To recognize the face, face detection should be performed earlier. We use the motion information to track the face. Continuous face tracking is possible by using continuous detected face region and motion information. Thus the computational complexity of the recognition module in the whole system can be reduced.

In this paper, we propose a novel segmentation and classification method using texture features for the document image. First, we extract the local entropy and then segment the document image to separate the background and the foreground using the Otsu's method. Finally, we classify the segmented regions into each component using PCA(principle component analysis) algorithm based on the texture features that are extracted from the co-occurrence matrix for the entropy image. The entropy-based segmentation is robust to not only noise and the change of light, but also skew and rotation. Texture features are not restricted from any form of the document image and have a superior discrimination for each component. In addition, PCA algorithm used for the classifier can classify the components more robustly than neural network.

Extensive experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is effective and promising.

This paper presents rate-distortion optimization that is considered sequence statistics(complexity) to choose the best macroblock mode decision in H.264. In previous work, Lagrange multiplier is derived by the function of constant value 0.85 and QP so that is not the proper Lagrange multilplier for any image sequence. The proposed algorithm solves the problem by changing constant value 0.85 into adaptive value which is influenced by image complexity, and by reducing the encoder complexity to estimate the image statistics with the multiplication of transformed, quantized rate and distortion. Proposed algorithm is achieved the bit-rate saving up to 5% better than previous method.

This paper implements a method that tracking the moving objects that detected by the motion detection function of the digital CCTV system. We simply implement the motion detection function of the digital CCTV system that use frame difference and thresholding. When motion is detected, the motion detection function generates two outputs. One output is the event that the motion is arised in input image frame. The other output is coordinate that motion is exists. Then, do the block matching algorithm[2] using coordinate, that motion is exists, as initial coordinate of the block matching algorithm. The best matched coordinate is new initial coordinate of the block matching algorithm for the next image frame. We simply use the block matching algorithm that implements tracking the moving objects. It is simple, but useful the actual digital CCTV system.

In this paper, we propose a real-time surveillance system for security of important area such as military bases, prisons, and strategic infra structures. The proposed system recognizes the movement of objects in dark environments. First, the Multi-scale retinex (MSR) is processed to enhance the contrast of image captured in dark environments. Then, the enhanced input image is subtracted with the background image. Finally, each bounding box enclosing each objects are tracked. The center point of each bounding box obtained by the proposed algorithm provides more accurate tracking information. Experimental results show that the proposed system provides good performance even though an object moves very fast and the background is quite dark.

In this paper, we have proposed algorithm using the image processing, which is the high-speed detection for the occurrence of fire or smoke in the tunnel. The fire detection is different to the forest fire detection as there are elements such as car and tunnel lightings and other variety of elements different from the forest environment. Therefore, an indigenous algorithm should be developed.The two algorithms proposed in this paper, are able to complement with each other and also they can detect the exact position, at the earlier stay of detection. In addition, by comparing properties of each algorithm throughout this experiment, we have proved the propriety of algorithm.

In recent, displays have very good properties at high luminance, fast response, and size. Also They have good quality in terms of color according to the development of the gamut extension and color reproduction. However, despite these merits, there is a characteristic that at a high luminance display, observer perceive the different color from the originally re-producted color due to the change of perceived luminance in human visual system. In this paper, we propose a model that is the hue shift phenomenon between a normal display and a high luminance display, and then an algorithm which compensate the color between two devices, so that observer can perceive the same color.

This paper presents an enhanced algorithm for compensating the visual quality in backlight image. Current cameras do not represent all details of scene into human's eye. Saturation and underexposure are common problems in backlight image. Retinex algorithm, derived from Land's theory on human visual perception is known to be effective in enhancing the contrast. However, its weaknesses are long processing time and low contrast of bright area in backlight scene because of compensating the details of dark area. In this paper, K-Retinex algorithm is proposed to reduce the processing time and enhance the contrast in both dark and bright area. To show the superiority of proposed algorithm, we compare the processing time and local variance of each area above.

In this paper, a real-time stereoscopic image conversion method using a single frame from a 2-D image is proposed.

There are lot of noises and errors in depth map image which is gotten by using a stereo camera. These errors are caused by mismatching of the corresponding points which occur in texture-less region of input images of stereo camera or occlusions. In this paper, we use a method which is able to get rid of the noises through post processing and reduce the errors of disparity values which are caused by the mismatching in the texture-less region of input images through the correlation between the depth map images and the input images. Then we propose a novel method which segments the object by using the improved disparity map images and projections.

The two main processes - determining touch (or no-touch) and contact location of screen plane - are essential for enabling touch screen function. First region of interest is found by using color characteristic and histogram for determining the contact mode. Second, if the hand touches the mirror, the fingertip point in image is found using the correlation coefficient based on the mirror attribute. Subsequently, the fingertip coordinate in image is transformed to the location in mirror plane by using four predefined points (termed as four-point method) and bilinear transform. Representative experimental results show that the proposed system is suited to touch screen.

In this paper, we propose a method that extracts invariant iris codes from user's iris pattern in order to apply these codes to a new cryptographic construct called fuzzy vault. The fuzzy vault, proposed by Juels and Sudan, has been used to manage cryptographic key safely by merging with biometrics. Generally, iris data has intra-variation of iris pattern according to sensed environmental changes, but cryptography requires correctness. Therefore, to combine iris data and fuzzy vault, we have to extract an invariant iris feature from iris pattern. In this paper, we obtain invariant iris codes by clustering iris features extracted by independent component analysis(ICA) transform. From experimental results, we proved that the iris codes extracted by our method are invariant to sensed environmental changes and can be used in fuzzy vault.

This paper proposes a new frame interpolation algorithm mainly designed for intra-mode blocks. In order to improve the accuracy of pixel interpolation, the new algorithm exploits two different interpolation modes for inter-mode blocks and intra-mode blocks, respectively. The use of the two modes reduces ghost artifacts but increases blocking artifacts between the blocks interpolated by different modes. To reduce blocking artifacts, this paper proposes an interpolation algorithm that attempts to isolate a fast moving object and interpolates such objects as the intra-mode while the remaining blocks are interpolated as the inter-mode. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves subjective and objective quality of pictures by reducing ghost artifacts.

Our method works in cases where the percentage of true matches is as low as 30%.

This paper presents a recovery technique for images with block-based corruption by transmission losses. Conventional methods that do not consider edge directions can cause blocked blurring artifacts. In this paper, we present a block recovery scheme using Haar wavelet features. The adaptive selection of neighboring blocks is performed based on the energy ratio f wavelet subbands. The lost blocks are recovered by linear interpolation in the spatial domain using selected block pairs. The proposed directional recovery method is effective for the strong edge because it exploits the varying neighboring blocks adaptively according to the edges and the directional information in the image. The proposed method outperforms the previous methods that used only a predefined set of neighboring blocks.

In our experiment, we compared the performance between when PCA coefficient vectors are used for verification and when the transformed coefficient vectors are used for verification.

When capturing an image by a digital camera, various kinds of distortions such as noise, geometrical distortions, and lens distortions are applied. slightly and simultaneously. In this paper, we consider several steps to extract fingerprints from the distorted image in print-and capture scenario. To embed ID into an image as a fingerprint, multi-bits embedding is applied. We embed 64 bits information as a fingerprint into spatial domain of color images. In order to restore a captured image from distortions a noise reduction filter is performed and a rectilinear tiling pattern is used as a template. To make the template, a multi-bits fingerprint is embedded repeatedly like a tiling pattern. We show that the extracting is successful from the image captured by a digital camera through the experiment.

Virtual view synthesis is essential for 3DTV systems, which utilizes the motion parallax cue. In this paper, we propose a multi-step view synthesis algorithm to efficiently reconstruct an arbitrary view from limited number of known views of a 3D scene. We describe an efficient image rectification procedure which guarantees that an interpolation process produce valid views. This rectification method can deal with all possible camera motions. The idea consists of using a polar parameterization of the image around the epipole. Then, to generate intermediate views, we use an efficient dense disparity estimation algorithm considering features of stereo image pairs. Main concepts of the algorithm are based on the region dividing bidirectional pixel matching. The estimated disparities are used to synthesize intermediate view of stereo images. We use computer simulation to show the result of the proposed algorithm.

The proposed system collects the data for using voltage drop across the OLED Panels, and then the computer program makes an analysis of the data. In this process of measurement, the current across OLED material must be amplified because the current is very small. However, amplifying the current causes the amplification of noise. Therefore, the proposed system measures the current using an algorithm which minimizes the noise.

In this paper, we propose tracking algorithm using multi resolution in wavelet transform domain. This algorithm consists of two steps. The first step is feature extraction that is select feature-points using 1-level wavelet transform in ROI (Region of Interest). The other step is feature tracking. Based on multi resolution of wavelet transform, we estimate a displacement between current frame and next frame on the basis of selected feature-points. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm confirmed a better performance than a centroid tracking and correlation tracking.

In this paper, novel analog duty cycle corrector (DCC) with a digital duty error detector is proposed. The digital duty error detector measures the duty error of the clock and converts it into a digital code. This digital code is then used to accurately correct the duty ratio by adaptively steering the charge-pump current. The proposed duty cycle corrector was implemented using an 80nm DRAM process with 1.8V supply voltage. The simulation result shows that the proposed duty cycle corrector improves the settling time up to $70{\sim}80%$ at 500MHz clock frequency for the same duty correction accuracy as the conventional analog DCC.

Compared to the conventional MHEMT, the InP-composite channel MHEMT shows improved breakdown performance; over about 3.5 V. This increased breakdown voltage can be explained by the lower impact ionization coefficient of the InP-composite channel MHEMT than that of the conventional MHEMT.

We investigate the structures and the formation energy of inversion domain boundaries (IDBs) using the Tersoff empirical potential. Four kinds of IDBs ( A and B types for IDB* and Holt ) are considered. The IDBs with A type are energetically favorable compared to B type with the structural instability. The IDB* is also more stable than the Holt type in spite of fourfold and eightfold rings of bonds. We calculate the atomic configurations of the Holt IDBs induced by the interactions of the IDB* with the stacking faults $I_1$ and $I_2$. The stacking fault $I_2$ interacted with $I_1$ on the IDB induces the structural transformation from IDB* to Holt type.

Simple nonoverlapped source/drain-to-gate MOSFETs to suppress GIDL (gate-induced drain leakage) is simulated with SILVACO simulation tool. Changing spacer thickness for adjusting length of Drain to Gate nonoverlapped region, this simulation observes on/off characteristic of nonoverlapped source/drain-to-gate MOSFETs. Off current is dramatically decreased with S/D to gate nonoverlapped length increasing. The result shows that maximum on/off current ratio is achieved by adjusting nonoverlapped length.

In this paper, we investigate three different types of multi-fingered layout nMOSFET devices with varying $W_f$(unit finger width) and $N_f$(number of finger). Using layout modification, we improve $f_T$(current gain cutoff frequency) value of 15GHz without scaling down, and moreover, we decrease $NF_{min}$(minimum noise figure) by 0.23dB at 5GHz. The RF noise can be reduced by increasing $f_T$, choosing proper finger width, and reducing the gate resistance. For the same total gate width using multi-fingered layout, the increase of finger width shows high $f_T$ due to the reduced parasitic capacitance. However, this does not result in low $NF_{min}$ since the gate resistance generating high thermal noise becomes larger under wider finger width. We can obtain good RF characteristics for MOSFETs by using a layout optimization technique.

This paper presents transistor matching in 70 nm nMOS. To adopt radio frequency(RF) applications, the RF performance, especially the current gain cutoff frequency($f_T$), is examined experimentally through a wafer. It is proved that the RF performance variation of 70 nm nMOS is dependent to the device geometry, the total width(W).

In this paper we propose a new routing protocol, which takes residue energy of nodes into account in order to prevent node failures resulting from energy shortage. Our routing protocol examines the smallest value of node residue energy ($E_m$) from each of all possible routing paths and selects the path which has the largest value of $E_m$. We prove, through simulation, that our routing protocol extends the lifetime of nodes which have limited amount of energy, reducing chances of path replacement. It is also shown that our proposed protocol helps alleviate network performance degradation.

The present study purposes to develop HMI software that runs on Windows CE .NET platform without being bound to specific HMI equipment and accesses data in PLC equipment through interoperation with an OPC-DA server. As the OPC-DA server reads data in PLC equipment, HMI system does not need to be configured differently for different equipments. In addition, when the interface environment of specific equipment changes, it does not require the application of new equipment or the change of communication protocol. As HMI system runs on Windows CE .NET platform, it can be configured using common embedded devices based on Windows CE .NET platform. HMI software reads data in PLC equipment through RS-232C communication interface. In addition, because it connects to an OPC-DA server through Ethernet communication interface, it can access data in PLC equipment as long as Ethernet is usable.

An H.264 algorithm is commonly used for video compression applications. This algorithm requires a large number of data computations, for example, the sum of absolute difference (SAD) operation. We analyzed H.264 reference encoding workloads. The H.264 encoding program has 8.78% SAD operation. The SAD operation is to sum up 16 difference-values in H.264 $4{\times}4$ sub-blocks. In order to accelerate SAD operations, we implemented an application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) that can execute SAD and data transfer instructions. The proposed coprocessor has an absolute value generator and a carry save adder (CSA) unit to sum up 8 difference-values per one clock cycle. We completed SAD operation in 2 clock cycles. Experimental results show that the performance is improved by 34% of total execution time.

In Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI), the QRS complex of ECG is used as a trigger signal for MRI scan. But, gradient and RF(radio frequency) artifacts which are caused to static and dynamic field in MRI scanner cause interference in the ECG. Also, the signal shape of theses artifacts can be similar to the QRS-complex, causing possible misinterpretation during patient monitoring and false gating of the MRI. In case of using general FIR or IIR band-pass filters for minimizing the artifacts, artifact-reduction-ratio is not excellent. So, an adaptive real-time digital filter is proposed for reduction of noise by gradient and RF(radio frequency) artifacts. The proposed filter for MRI-Gating is based on the noise-canceller with NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm. The reference signals of the adaptive noise canceller are a combination of the noisy three channel ECG signals. In conclusions, the proposed method showed the acceptable quality of ECG signal with sufficient SNR for gating the MRI and possibility of real time implementation.

And finally we computed variations of power of EEG frequency to detect arousals. The performance has been assessed using polysomnographic recordings of twenty patients with sleep apnea, snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. We have shown that proposed method was effective for detecting the arousal events.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that applies Rolle's theorem to automatically detect and label peak III and V of the normal, suprathreshold auditory brainstem response (ABR). ABR waveform were recorded from 55 normal-hearing ears at screening levels varying from 30 to 60 dBnHL. For each ABR waveform, the peak-finding algorithm proceeded in fourth steps: (1) Select maximum and minimum values of the target ABR waveform, (2) divide this range into n equal parts, (3) effective candidate peaks in the ABR waveform are identified using Rolle's theorem (4) peak III and V are identified from these candidate peaks based on their latency and morphology. As a result, proposed auto dectection method showed high correlation and accuracy with manual detection method performed by clinician. By using proposed algorithm, clinician can detect and label peak III and V faster and more efficient than manual detection method.

This paper presents a vehicle control algorithm for Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system. PRT system is a one-way direction network system which is composed of guideway branches, merging/diverging points. Vehicle control algorithm can be divided into two kinds. Those are merging control algorithm and the other. We emphasized on the merging control algorithm. For that, we first devised a front/virtual front vehicle finding strategies. Properly determined front/virtual front vehicle is the starting point of vehicle control. The objects of merging control are to avoid collision and to pass the merging point fluently. Which implies that jerk constraint and limits of acceleration and deceleration etc. are should be considered. To verify the validation of the vehicle algorithm, we executed simulations and presented test results.

In this paper, we describe a capacitive position sensing and motion control scheme of a MEMS scanner used for laser display application. The laser displays can be made by scanning laser beams much the same way a CRT scans electron beams. So the accuracy of the scanner motion determines the quality of the displayed image. The MEMS scanner under consideration is composed of electrostatic comb electrodes with initial gap and requires large driving voltage. Due to the under-damping and nonlinear driving characteristics, the scanner motion is subject to be an unwanted oscillation. For the linear scanner motion, we devise a differential charge amplifier and phase compensator. The experimental results show that the implemented feedback control system provides sufficient electrical damping and improves the dynamic performance of the scanner.

At the range the output voltage of the IA was -14V when the TC was broken. At normal operation condition the output voltage of IA was 0V to 10V for the temperature range.

This thesis presents a new analysis method of Vegas network model in single link single source and a new version of Vegas for expanding asymptotically stable region. Actually since original Vegas model is difficult to analysis, we use a modified Vegas network model. Since there is a few tools to analyze nonlinear system with delay, developing other methods is very important and useful. We used state space model in discrete time.

To expand asymptotically stable region we modified the original Vegas model. The new analysis method and new Vegas algorithm were justified by ns-2 simulation. And as compare with other result, we could know our method has many advantages.

High level perceptual tasks such as context understanding, SLAM and object recognition are essential for intelligent robot to provide services for human supports. Those intelligent robots often use camera sensor for vision information, sonar or laser sensor for range information, encoder for angular velocity of wheel and so on. The information is generated at different time intervals by the different H/W devices and S/W algorithms. The generation of high level information requires the specific mixture of low level information. And the information should be represented to be useful for robots to use in their ecological niche. In conventional robot systems, perceptual module requires the resource to use by tightly coupling whenever it is needed. So the resource and information cannot be easily shared and even could be invalid for the delayed information. In this paper, we propose a synchronization system of robot-centered information for context understanding. Our system represents information for the robot capacity and synchronizes the information that is asynchronously generated, where is employed the black-board architecture.

This paper proposes a robust posture stabilization control method for wheeled mobile robots. To solve the robust posture stabilization, we introduce reference generation mode, reference tracking mode, and reference regulation mode.

In reference tracking mode, a sliding mode position controller is employed in such a way that the actual robot can follow the reference trajectory in the desired forward or backward moving direction, even in the presence of the disturbances in the dynamics. In reference regulation mode, a sliding mode heading direction controller is used such that the actual robot can maintain the desired posture against the disturbances. In this way, robust posture stabilization can be achieved at almost all global regions.

The process point of view is to validate maturity of the organizations in accordance to the judging processes of organizations, which are specified by CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) or SPICE(Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination : ISO/IEC15504). In this paper, we are trying to find approaches to estimate the maturity of manufacturer and assessment organization in the railway system.

A case study in low-power PostPC Platform is presented. We introduce an S3C2460 Mobile SoC Processor and Implementation of Embedded Linux on out platform. This Processor is designed to Multimedia & Telecommunication Applications. We focuse on the verification of S3C2460 Processor and operation of Embedded Linux OS on it.

A 3D model based face recognition system is generally inefficient in computation time because 3D face model consists of a large number of vertices. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D face representation algorithm to reduce the number of vertices and optimize its computation time.

The paper demonstrates OFDM with LDPC and adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. An optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge is used. The experimental results are shown the potential of our proposed system.

We analyzed the performance of hierarchical cellular system with multi traffic(voice traffic, data traffic). We executed the computer simulation by the various ratio of traffic generation(voice traffic, data traffic). We generated data traffic at microcell. The more voice traffic generated, the higher the block probability of data traffic became at macrocell.

This paper treats the guide path tracking problem of an experimental automated guided vehicle. An experimental guide path is made of aluminium foil which has width of 2[cm]. A digital Proportional and Derivative controller is used to manipulate the steering system and it is verified by laboratory experiments that the designed AGV tracks the guide path withen the range of 3.2[cm] deviation.

In this study, we have been constructed measuring system for interference for TV broadcasting signals between Korea and Japan. In Busan, we have been measured 14 channel of Japan TV broadcasting signals during 4 days. The quality of image is that 2.5 level is maximum grade, and the quality of sound is that 3 level is maximum grade. And we have been observed Japan TV broadcasting signals, in Busan, Ulsan, and Pohang. There are detected 40 channels. The 19, 24, 29, 36, 39 channels have 3.0 grade image quality and The maximum field strength is $71dB{\mu}V$/m.

In a packet based wireless system, an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme is often employed with the use of channel quality information (CQI). However, the AMC can be operated improperly due to delayed CQI, causing performance degradation. In this paper, we consider the use of predicted CQI for the AMC considering the feedback delay and channel characteristics. We also consider the use of a hybrid automatic repeat request scheme with the proposed AMC for further improvement in high mobility environments.

The IEEE 802.11e medium access control (MAC) is an emerging standard to support Quality of Service (QoS). A HCCA (HCF controlled channel access) scheduler of the standard IEEE 802.11e is only efficient for flows with strict constant bit rate (CBR) characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new HCCA scheduling scheme that aims to be efficient for both CBR and VBR flows. The proposed scheme uses fuzzy queue length predictions to tune its time allocation to stations. We present a set of simulations and provide performance comparisons with the reference HCCA scheduler.

In this paper, we present an iterative phase offset estimation algorithm based on a space-time block code and turbo coded system. External single phase estimator receives soft information from the turbo decoder and estimates phase offset with LMS algorithm. The estimated phase offset value is used for space-time decoder. Simulation results show the phase estimation gain in a flat fading channel.

In this paper, we present the analysis of Tree-LDPC codes using EXIT(Extrinsic information transfer) charts methods. Two different EXIT charts schemes are compared. One is based on the closed form equation and the other is based on Monte-Carlo simulation. The thresholds by these two schemes match well with the threshold by DE(density evolution) scheme. Simulation performance is also shown with the obtained thresholds.

In this paper, we propose a puncturing scheme to design low-density parity-matrix (LDPC) codes for unequal error protection (UEP). Two different puncturing schemes are compared. Simulation results show that proposed puncturing scheme outperforms regular puncturing scheme for more important bits. Future work is to find an optimized puncturing patten for UEP irregular LDPC codes.

In this paper we consider a family {$H_m$},m =1,2,..., of generalized Hadamard matrices of order $P^m$, where p is a prime number, and construct the corresponding family {$C^*_m$} of generalize p-ary Hadarmard codes which meet the Plotkin bound. Index terms: Cyclotomic fields, cocyclic matrices, Butson-Hadamard matrices, generalized Hadamard codes, decoding.
