The combination of Log MAP and SOVA avoids updating the matrices of the maximum path, and also makes a contribution to the requirement of short delay. The simulation results of several SCCCs show that the improved decoder can obtain satisfied performance with short frame interleaver and it is suitable to the high bit rate low delay communication systems.展开更多

To overcome the gap, an effective differential encoding and decoding scheme for multiband UWB systems is proposed. The proposed scheme employs the parallel concatenation of two recursive differential unitary space-frequency encoders at the transmitter. At the receiver, two component decoders iteratively decode information bits by interchanging soft metric values between each other. To reduce the computation complexity, a decoding algorithm which only uses transition probability to calculate the log likelihood ratios (LLRs) for the decoded bits is given. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can dramatically outperform the conventional differential and even coherent detection at high SNR with a few iterations.展开更多

And the novel class of LDPC codes was applied in a coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. This method extended the class of LDPC codes which could be constructed from shifted identity matrices. The method could avoid short cycles in Tanner graphs with simple inequation in the construction of shifting identity matrices, which made the girth of Tanner graphs 8. Because of the quasicyclic structure and the inherent block configuration of parity-check matrices, the encoders and the decoders were practically feasible. They were linear-time encodable and decodable. The LDPC codes proposed had various code rates, ranging from low to high. They performed excellently with iterative decoding and demonstrate better performance than other regular LDPC codes in OFDM systems.展开更多

In this paper, we give the sufficient and necessary condition for arbitrary classical BCH codes with self-orthogonal property through algorithms. We also give a better upper bound of the designed distance of a classical narrow-sense BCH code which contains its Euclidean dual. Besides these, we also give one algorithm to compute the dimension of these codes. The complexity of all algorithms is analyzed. Then the results can be applied to construct a series of quantum BCH codes via the famous CSS constructions.展开更多

Some known symbols are inserted in the encoded data stream to enhance the channel estimation process.The pilot symbols are used to replace the existing parity symbols so no bandwidth expansion is required. An iterative algorithm that uses decoding information as well as the information contained in the known symbols is used to improve the channel parameter estimate. The scheme complexity grows exponentially with the channel estimation filter length. The performance of the system is compared for a normalized fading rate with both perfect coherent detection (corresponding to a perfect knowledge of the fading process and noise variance) and differential detection of Differential Amplitude Phase Shift Keying (DAPSK). The tradeoff between simplicity of implementation and bit-error-rate performance of different techniques is also compared.展开更多

A simple but new iterative multiuser detection framework is proposed, which consists of a message passing algorithm(MPA) based multiuser detector and a soft-input soft-output(SISO) successive cancellation(SC) polar decoder. In particular, the SISO polar decoding process is realized by a specifically designed soft re-encoder, which is concatenated to the original SC decoder. This soft re-encoder is capable of reconstructing the soft information of the entire polar codeword based on previously detected log-likelihood ratios(LLRs) of information bits. Benefiting from the soft re-encoding algorithm, the resultant iterative detection strategy is able to obtain a salient coding gain. Our simulation results demonstrate that significant improvement in error performance is achieved by the proposed polar-coded SCMA in additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channels, where the performance of the conventional SISO belief propagation(BP) polar decoder aided SCMA, the turbo coded SCMA and the low-density parity-check(LDPC) coded SCMA are employed as benchmarks.展开更多

This paper presents a mesh compression scheme PRMC (Parallel Rendering based Mesh Compression) supplying encoded meshes that can be partitioned and sorted in parallel rendering system even in encoded-domain. First, we segment the mesh into submeshes and clip the submeshes’ boundary into Runs, and then piecewise compress the submeshes and Runs respectively. With the help of several auxiliary index tables, compressed submeshes and Runs can serve as rendering primitives in parallel rendering system. Based on PRMC, we design and implement a parallel rendering architecture. Compared with uncompressed representation, experimental results showed that PRMC meshes applied in cluster parallel rendering system can dramatically reduce the communication requirement.展开更多

The basic idea of our decoding algorithm is that source a priori information with the form of bit transition probabilities corresponding to the VLC tree can be derived directly from sub-state transitions in new composite-state represented super-trellis. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding algorithm for VLC sequence estimations based on the proposed super-trellis is also described. Simu-lation results show that the new iterative decoding scheme can obtain obvious encoding gain especially for Reversible Variable Length Codes (RVLCs),when compared with the classical separated turbo decoding and the previous joint decoding not considering source statistical characteristics.展开更多

The structure includes two ring alnicos defined as index track and sub-division track, respectively. The index track is magnetized based on the improved gray code, with linear halls placed around the track evenly. The outputs of linear halls show the region the rotor belongs to. The sub-division track is magnetized to N-S-N-S (north-south-north-south), and the number of N-S pole pairs is determined by the index track. Three linear hall sensors with an air-gap of 2 mm are used to translate the magnetic filed to voltage signals. The relative offset in a single N-S is obtained through look-up. The magnetic encoder is calibrated using a higher-resolution incremental optical encoder. The pulse output from the optical encoder and hall signals from the magnetic encoder are sampled at the same time and transmitted to a computer, and the relation between them is calculated, and stored in the FLASH of MCU (micro controller unit) for look-up. In the working state, the absolute angle is derived by looking-up with hall signals. The structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is very low and suitable for mass production.展开更多

As the MPEG-2 is popular in digital TV, DVD, etc., bandwidth or memory space can be saved by transcoding those streams into H.264 in these applications. Unfortunately, the huge complexity keeps transcoding from being widely used in practical applications. This paper proposes an efficient transcoding architecture with a smart downscaling decoder and a fast mode decision algorithm. Using the proposed architecture, huge buffering memory space is saved and the transcoding complexity is reduced. Performance of the proposed fast mode decision algorithm is validated by experiments.展开更多

Unlike the exhaustive search over all the possible trans-mitted symbol vectors of the optimum maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detector, the new algo-rithm evaluates only the symbol vectors that contribute significantly to the soft output of the detector. The algorithm is facilitated by carrying out the breadth-first search on a reconfigurable tree, constructed by computing the symbol reliability of each layer based on zero-forcing criterion and reordering the symbols according to the symbol reliabilities. Simulations are presented and the good performance of the new algo-rithm over a quasi-static Rayleigh channel even for relatively small list sizes are proved.展开更多
