H.264/AVC is international video coding standard, which shows improved code and efficiency than the existing video standards. H.264/AVC propose data partitioning method that considerably to be an effective layering technique which separates important addressing data from the residual data. UEP(Unequal Error Protection) Turbo code of H.264/AVC uses retransmission system to get the UEP effect. However, due to H.264/AVC possess effective data partitioning method, retransmission system is inefficient method in Turbo code of H.264/AVC. Based on this observation, we propose the new UEP turbo code algorithm that reconstruct input sequence of turbo code without retransmission system.

UWB is the most spotlighted wireless technology that transmits data at very high rates using low power over a wide spectrum of frequency band. UWB technology makes it possible to transmit data at rate over 100Mbps within 10 meters. To preserve important header information, MBOFDM UWB adopts Reed-Solomon(23,17) code.

At last, we show the hardware implementation results of RS decoder for ASIC implementation.

In this paper, we propose a new design metric called modified outage probability (MOP) for protograph-based low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over the uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channel. In contrast to the conventional threshold metric, the MOP predicts the frame error rate (FER) performance accurately over the fading channel. Based on MOPs, we optimize protograph-based LDPC codes while considering the trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity. It is shown that the optimized LDPC codes outperform the conventional threshold-based LDPC codes at the FER of for the both medium and high code-rate regions.

In this paper we propose high rate turbo code (HRTC) that exploits the potential correlation present between the data of the neighboring sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network. The problem of implosion and overlap, faced by the sensor nodes, gives rise to data redundancy in the sensor network.

This paper also includes the design of the proposed HRTC that uses deterministic interleaver to ensure good permutations.

This paper proposes a method for finding an optimal spreading codes and channel spacings that can efficiently use frequency resources in SC-BFSK (Split Channel Binary Frequency Shift Keying). The transmission signal of the proposed method is transmitted using PN (Pseudo Noise) code. As a result of observing the transmission spectrum, a regular spectrum is shown when the spread gain is large, but an irregular spectrum is shown when the confidence gain is small. After setting the spreading code, observe the BER (Bit Error Ratio) due to interference while varying the adjacent channel spacing to find the inter channel spacing showing the smallest BER. As a result of the simulation, the optimal spreading code is different for each spreading gain, and the effect of inter channel interference is also different The proposed methodology for finding spreading codes and inter channel intervals for each spreading gain can solve the problem of communication performance and frequency resources in SC-BFSK.

본 논문은 제주 정낭 채널 code Ⅰ, Ⅱ 에 이은 “수신기 협력을 이용한 간섭 디코딩 기반 3-user NOR 스위칭 채널”을 다루고 있다. 제주 정낭 코드 (Jeju Jong Nang code) 는 스위칭 회로를 “1” 또는 “0” 의 이진 심볼로 해석하는 인류 최초의 HBCC (human binary coded communication)로 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는 3-user 정낭 NOR 스위칭 채널 기반 수신기 협력 간섭 디코딩의 실제적인 예를 소개한다. 제안한 시스템 모델은 TUJN (three user Jong Nang) NOR 스위칭 on-off 로직과 3-user 결정적 (deterministic) NOR 스위칭 채널 및 수신기 협력 GIC (Gaussian interference channel) 로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 이 모델은 Shannon의 이진 시스템과 erasure 채널 용량에도 잘 맞는다. 또한 자유도를 증가시키기 위해 각 협력 수신기가 이웃 수신기들을 도울 수 있다는 의미의 결정적 채널을 얻기 위한 3-user Gaussian 간섭 디코딩의 응용 예를 제시하고, 이웃 수신기 협력을 통한 최적 간섭 완화 sum rate이 7 bits에 달한다.

This paper presents “The 3-User NOR switching channel based on interference decoding with receiver cooperation” in succession to “Jeju Jong Nang channel code Ⅰ, Ⅱ”. The Jeju Jong Nang code is considered as one of the earliest human binary coded communication (HBCC) in the world with a definite “1” or “0” binary symbolic analysis of switching circuits. In this paper, we introduce a practical example of interference decoding with receiver cooperation based on the three user Jong Nang NOR switching channel. The proposed system models are the three user Jong Nang (TUJN) NOR logic switching on-off, three-user injective deterministic NOR switching channel and Gaussian interference channel (GIC) with receiver cooperation. Therefore, this model is well matched to Shannon binary symmetric and erasure channel capacity. We show the applications of three-user Gaussian interference decoding to obtain deterministic channels which means each receiver cooperation helps to adjacent others in order to increase degree of freedom. Thus, the optimal sum rate of interference mitigation through adjacent receiver cooperation achieves 7 bits.

A sub-channel solver, named ${\underline{S}}teady$ and ${\underline{T}}ransient$ ${\underline{A}}nalyzer$ for ${\underline{R}}eactor$ ${\underline{T}}hermal$ hydraulics (START), has been developed using the homogenous model for two-phase conditions of light water reactors. The code is developed as a fast and accurate TH-solver for coupled and multi-physics calculations. START has been validated against the NUPEC PWR Sub-channel and Bundle Test (PSBT) database. Tests like single-channel quality and void-fraction for steady state, outlet fluid temperature for steady state, rod-bundle quality and void-fraction for both steady state and transient conditions have been analyzed and compared with experimental values. Results reveal a good accuracy of solution for both steady state and transient scenarios. Axially different values for turbulent mixing coefficient are used based on different grid-spacer types. This provides better results as compared to using a single value of turbulent mixing coefficient. Code-to-code evaluation of PSBT results by the START code compares well with other industrial codes. The START code has been parallelized with the OpenMP algorithm and its numerical performance is evaluated with a large whole PWR core. Scaling study of START shows a good parallel performance.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of transmitter and receiver of W-CDMA system using the channel coding and space time code in downlink over ITU-R realistic channel model. We can improve the reliability of communications and increase the data rate by channel coding, and we can get a diversity gain by using the space time code over fading channels. We also apply the RAKE receiver to improve tile performance in multi-Path fading channel environment.

In this letter, we propose a channel estimation algorithm based on incremental pilots. These are pilots additionally inserted after puncturing the modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to enhance channel estimation performance without lowering bandwidth efficiency. A low-density parity-check code puncturing scheme is also proposed to prevent the performance degradation due to the codeword bit loss caused by punctured OFDM symbols.

Since the publication of Alamouti's famous space-time block code, various quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QSTBC) for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) fading channels for more than two transmit antennas have been proposed. It has been shown that these codes cannot achieve full diversity at full rate. In this paper, we present a simple feedback scheme for rich scattering (flat Rayleigh fading) MIMO channels that improves the coding gain and diversity of a QSTBC for 2$^n$ (n=3, 4, ${\cdots}$) transmit antennas. The relevant channel state information is sent back from the receiver to the transmitter quantized to one or two bits per code block. In this way, signal transmission with an improved coding gain and diversity near to the maximum diversity order is achieved. Such high diversity can be exploited with either a maximum-likelihood receiver or low-complexity zero-forcing receiver.

Adaptive code rate change schemes in DS-SSMA systems are proposed. In the proposed schemes, the error correcting code rate is changed according to the channel states. Two channel states having significant effects on the bit error probability are considered: one is the effective number of users, and the other is the fading environment. These channel states are estimated based on retransmission requests. The criterion for the change of the code rate is to maximize the throughput under given error bound.
