본 논문에서는 다양한 채널 환경과 요구 화질 조건에서 사용자의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 만족시키기 위한 영상 전송 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. SVC(Scalable Video Coding) 전송 기법은 비디오 신호를 중요도를 고려한 계층별 신호로 인코딩하여 전송하기 때문에, 비디오 신호 전송에 있어 효과적인 방법이다. 하지만 다양한 채널 환경에 대해서 적응적으로 다수의 사용자가 요구하는 각각의 성능을 선택적으로 만족시키는 기술에 대한 연구는 미비하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 MC-CDMA기반의 SVC 전송 시스템에서 계층 간 차등 OVSF(Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor) 코드 할당 기법을 통해 SVC 계층 간 protection order를 보장하고 수신부로부터의 피드백을 통해 MC-CDMA의 sub-block과 각각의 계층 신호에 할당된 OVSF 길이를 조절하여 전송함으로써 다양한 채널 환경에서 각각의 사용자의 전송 환경에 따른 최적의 영상품질을 제공하는 적응 전송 시스템을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안 시스템의 성능분석을 실시한 결과 BER 성능이 향상되어 사용자의 QoS 만족이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes an adaptive video signal transmission scheme in order to ensure the QoS (Quality of Service) of user requirements. SVC (Scalable Video Coding) is an effective transmission scheme, because that can transmit video signal according to the video layer’s weight. However, in previous works, those adaptive transmission systems which are considered about the various channel environments and user requirements have not been insufficiently studied. So, we propose the SVC signal transmission using inter-layer differential OVSF code allocation scheme in MC-CDMA. The proposed scheme is able to obtain each layer signal’s protection order and control the sub-block of MC-CDMA by feedback information from receiver. Therefore, our proposed scheme is possible to provide the video quality for each users according to variable channel environments. The simulation results demonstrate the enhancement of proposed system in terms of BER performance.

In this paper we investigate the applications of Rademacher functions in 3GPP mobile communication systems which are currently most widely being deployed in the world. Although the equations are simple enough to be expressed as signs of sine functions, it is very hard to find the limit of the usefulness in modern communication systems such as 3GPP and 3GPP2 society. In this paper we narrow the scope of the applications to 3GPP mobile communication systems for the better understanding, where the functions are used for OVSF code, TFCI and CQI codings.

LEACH series protocols are low energy consumption adaptive clustering routing protocols in wireless sensor networks which were firstly proposed by MIT scholars. Considering the disadvantages of the TDMA mechanism which has been used in LEACH series protocols, such as long time delay and high energy consumption, an improved routing protocol based on OVSF code in clustered sensor networks is proposed. Facilitated by its orthogonality and incoherence, the transmission can be realized based on the demands of the node, but not the time slot, during which the member node has to transmit data to the cluster heads. The simulation results show that the proposed OVSF code based routing protocol greatly reduces delay and energy consumption compared with TDMA based protocols.

This paper introduces a more effective usage of the limited OVSF cod in compressed mode which is used during inter-frequency/inter-system handover in UTRA(Universal mobile telecommunications system) Terrestrial Radio Access). The usager is to use dynamic common channel which is shared by several users during the compressed mode.
