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.

Eureka 147 디지털오디오방송(DAB) 시스템은 CD 품질의 오디오 전송을 위하여 유럽에서 개발되었으나 한국에서는 이러한 DAB 시스템을 기반으로 하여 오디오뿐 만 아니라 비디오 신호도 전송할 목적으로 지상파 디지털멀티미디어방송(T-DMB) 시스템을 개발하였다. 이러한 T-DMB 시스템의 성능 향상을 목적으로 본 논문에서는 양립성을 위해 기존 T-DMB 시스템 표준안에 정의된 펑쳐링 절차와 평처링 벡터를 이용하면서 터보 부호가 적용된 2가지 형태의 새로운 터보부호화된 T-DMB 시스템 모델을 제시한다. 첫 번째 모델 (Type 1)은 기존의 RS 코드, 콘볼류션 인터리빙, RCPC 코드를 터보코드로 대체시킨 것이며 두 번째 모델(Type 2)은 기존 RCPC 만을 터보부호로 대체시킨 모델이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 모델은 단지 2회 반복만으로도 상당한 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며 또한 두 번째 모델은 첫 번째 모델에 비해 약간 우수한 성능을 보이고 있다.

The DAB system was designed to provide CD quality audio and data services for fixed, portable and mobile applications with the required BER below . However for the T-DMB system with the video service of MPEG-4 stream, BER should go down by adding FEC blocks which consist of the Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder/decoder and convolutional interleaver/deinterleaver. In this paper we propose two types of turbo coded T-DMB system without altering the puncturing procedure and puncturing vectors defined in the standard T-DMB system for compatibility. One(Type 1) can replace the existing RS code, convolutional interleaver and RCPC code by a turbo code and the other one (Type 2) can substitute the existing RCPC code by a turbo code. Simulation results show that two new turbo coded systems are able to yield considerable performance gain after just 2 iterations. Type 2 system is better than type 1 but the amount of performance improvement is small.

This paper proposes a channel response generative adversarial network (CRGAN)-based turbo code interleaver that estimates a channel response and interleaver indices at a transmitter by using a sound speed profile (SSP) and the ocean environments without feedback from a receiver. The interleaver indices are designed to allocate important bits from the turbo code to subcarriers with great channel gains, which reduces them from being affected by deep fading. Computer simulations and practical ocean experiments demonstrate that the proposed method estimates the channel response with low mean squared errors (MSEs) and improves bit error rate (BER) performances compared with the conventional method.

최근에, LED를 사용한 WPAN 응용 기술에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만, LED를 이용한 가시광 통신은 통신을 수행하는데 약점을 가지고 있다. 시스템 성능을 저하시키는 요인으로 통신 환경에서 다른 물체에 의한 전파 지연으로 발생하는 다중 경로 페이딩을 들 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 OFDM 기술은 다중 경로 페이딩과 분산을 줄이고, 고속 데이터 전송을 제공하기 위해서 적용하였다. 게다가, 광잡음에 의한 정보 손실을 줄이기 위해서 채널코딩으로써 터보 부호화 기술을 사용하였다. OFDM과 터보 부호화를 적용하므로써, 약 4 [dB] 정도의 성능향상을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 도플러 효과가 일어난다고 가정하였을 경우, 시스템 성능이 저하됨을 시뮬레이션을 통해 알 수 있었다.

In the ubiquitous age, applications of wireless personal area network (WPAN) technology using LEDs are in progress. However, visible light communications (VLC) using the LEDs have weakness which deteriorate performance of communication because of multi-path fading that occurs propagation delay by interior walls or other things in indoor environments. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme is adapted to decrease multi-path fading and multi-path dispersion and to provide high speed data transmission. Besides, to reduce information losses caused by optical noise (incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, sunbeam etc.) also proposed channel coding using turbo codes. The encoding and decoding of the proposed system is described, and simulation results are analyzed. We can know that performance of proposed system is increased about 4 [dB] through the simulation results. Also, when the system take doppler effect, the system performance worsened.

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 combines source -channel coding wi th data aggregation using HRTC to reduce the redundant information produced amongst the nodes and to make the network more resourceful and reliable. This paper also includes the design of the proposed HRTC that uses deterministic interleaver to ensure good permutations.

새로운 휴대 이동 방송 방식인 고품질 지상파 DMB(Advanced T-DMB)시스템은 계층변조 방식을 이용하여 기존 T-DMB와 역호환성을 유지하면서 동일한 주파수 대역폭에서 전송률을 최대 2배로 높이기 위해 개발되었다 . 이러한 고품질 지상파 DMB 시스템은 T-DMB의 DQPSK 변조신호에 새로운 변조가 적용된 BPSK 또는 QPSK 신호를 향상 계층으로 중첩하여 전송함으로써 기존 T-DMB의 고품질화를 실현한다. AT-DMB의 향상계층에 새로 추가되는 신호는 T-DMB와 역호환성 유지 및 방송권역 축소를 최소화하기 위해 크기가 충분히 작아야하는데, 추가되는 크기가 작은 신호는 전송채널에 존재하는 페이딩에 의해 쉽게 왜곡될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 새로 추가되는 신호에는 오류정정 성능이 우수한 이중이진터보 (turbo) 부호를 적용하여 채널왜곡을 보상하고, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 이의 적용가능성을 분석하였다.

Advanced T-DMB(Terrestial DMB )system which is a new portable mobile broadcasting system has been developed to increase data rate up to double of conventional T-DMB in same bandwidth while maintaining backward compatibility, using hierarchical modulation method. The Advanced T-DMB system realize high qualification of conventional T-DMB system by adding BPSK signal or QPSK signal as enhanced layer to existing DQPSK signal. The enhanced layer signal should be small enough to maintain backward compatibility and to minimize the coverage loss of existing T-DMB service area. But this causes the enhanced layer signal of Advanced T-DMB susceptible to fading effect in transmission channel. In this paper we applied the duo-binary turbo code which has powerful error correction capability to the enhanced layer signal for compensating channel distortion. And the computer simulation results about the performance of the duo-binary turbo code in Advanced T-DMB system are presented along with analysis comments.

For the design of receiver in wideband CDMA systems, we presented the efficient parameters for the number of iterative decoding and the number of branches of rake receiver.

In order to improve safety and reliability of secure communication system, we propose a joint encryption error correction coding scheme. In this scheme, a conflict-free interleaver parallel decoding method of Turbo codes is used, which is known simply as” efficient Turbo codes”, and it is combined with chaotic encryption together. This scheme makes the information encryption and efficient Turbo coding step be completed at the same time, and explain the encryption/decryption process through the efficient parallel decoding method, and verify the feasibility of the scheme through the application of Turbo code in image transmission as an example. The Matlab simulation results show that, the scheme performance is more excellent and effective in security and reliability than the existing joint encryption and error correction coding scheme. Our proposed scheme may provide an excellent encoding candidate scheme for secure communication system.
