Foveation-Based Error Resilience and Unequal Error Protection over Mobile Networks

By exploiting new human-machine interface techniques, such as visual eyetrackers, it should be possible to develop more efficient visual multimedia services associated with low bandwidth, dynamic channel adaptation and robust visual data transmission. In this paper, we introduce foveation-based error resilience and unequal error protection techniques over highly error-prone mobile networks. Each frame is spatially divided into foveated and background layers according to perceptual importance. Perceptual importance is determined either through an eye tracker or by manually selecting a region of interest. We attempt to improve reconstructed visual quality by maintaining the high visual source throughput of the foveated layer using foveation-based error resilience and error correction using a combination of turbo codes and ARQ (automatic reQuest). In order to alleviate the degradation of visual quality, a foveation based bitstream partitioning is developed. In an effort to increase the source throughput of the foveated layer, we develop unequal delay-constrained ARQ (automatic reQuest) and rate compatible punctured turbo codes where the punctual pattern of RCPC (rate compatible punctured convolutional) codes in H.223 Annex C is used. In the simulation, the visual quality is significantly increased in the area of interest using foveation-based error resilience and unequal error protection; (as much as 3 dB FPSNR (foveal peak signal to noise ratio) improvement) at 40% packet error rate. Over real-fading statistics measured in the downtown area of Austin, Texas, the visual quality is increased up to 1.5 dB in PSNR and 1.8 dB in FPSNR at a channel SNR of 5 dB.     

Improved Soft-Output RAKE Receiver for CDMA Mobile Terminals with High Data Rates

In this paper we propose a soft-output RAKE receiver for CDMA mobile terminals using low spreading factor and/or high-order modulation constellations for high data rates. Based on the outputs of theRAKE correlator fingers, the receiver produces symbol or bit metrics for soft decision decoding. The formulation of these metrics is derived analytically taking into account the multipath propagation, interfering users and channel estimation errors. Simulations show thata performance gain is achieved when low spreading factors or high-order modulation constellations are used.     

Robust Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting System with Error-Resilient Schemes

In this paper, error-resilient schemes are proposed to support robust video transmission for digital terrestrial TV broadcasting (DTTB). In particular, a temporal error concealment incorporated with a low-complexity block-matching is developed, achieving an effective reception of predictive pictures in harsh terrestrial environment. Special algorithms are also designed for isolated I-pictures. Moreover, combined with an intra/inter case prediction, an adaptive error concealment scheme is further contrived to fit for different error conditions. Extensive simulations have been conducted under various DTTB channel conditions, even with a very high packet error rate, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

抽样调查中最佳测量次数的确定

现场抽样调查中，由于测量误差的存在，使得所测变量实测值的方差增大，通过增加每个体的测量次数可以控制测量误差，但这样每个体调查费用增大。本文对测量信度Ｒ，每个体测量次数ｍ与相应所需的样本含量ｎｍ、调查费用Ｔｎ的关系进行了探讨，并介绍了如何根据Ｒ，及每个体测量费用占其总费用构成比Ｃ，确定最佳测量次数ｍ值，以达到最佳控制调查费用的目的，这对我们在大型现场调查中进行经济效益分析具有重大的理论指导意义。     

On the phase space approach to complexity

We elaborate in some detail on a new phase space approach to complexity, due to Y.-C. Zhang. We show in particular that the connection between maximal complexity and power law noise or correlations can be derived from a simple variational principle. For a 1D signal we find 1/f noise, in accordance with Zhang.
