The helper data scheme utilizes a secret key to protect biometric templates. The current helper data scheme requires binary feature representations that introduce quantization error and thus reduce the capacity of biometric channels. For spectral-minutiae based fingerprint recognition systems, Shannon theory proves that the current helper data scheme cannot have more than 6 bits. A 6-bit secret key...
In this paper, we propose a method of fixed-length binary string extraction (denoted by LogGM_[)ROBA) from low-resolution palmprint image for developing palmprint template protection technology. In order to extract reliable (stable and discriminative) bits, multi-bit equal-probability-interval quantization and detection rate optimized bit allocation (DROBA) are operated on the real-valued features,...
Cryptography may mitigate the privacy problem in biometric recognition systems. However, cryptography technologies lack error-tolerance and biometric samples cannot be reproduced exactly, rising the robustness problem. The biometric template protection system needs a good feature extraction algorithm to be a good classifier. But, an even effective feature extractor can give a very low-quality biometric...
The performance of OFDM systems (e.g. IEEE 802.11g system) can severely degrade due to partial band interference (e.g. from Bluetooth devices). Therefore, we propose a novel cross coding scheme based on erasure codes to mitigate the effect of partial band jamming (PBJ). The key element of this coding scheme is to discard the part of channel that is corrupted by PBJ. By transmitting a packet over a...
Spectral Minutiae (SM) representation enables the combination of minutiae-based fingerprint recognition systems with template protection schemes based on fuzzy commitment, but it requires error-correcting codes that can handle high bit error rates (i.e. above 40%). In this paper, we propose a 3-Layer coding scheme based on erasure codes for the SM-based biometric recognition system. Our approach is...
This paper presents a simple code to combat the two-dimensional inter-symbol interference (2D-ISI) effect that is present in data storage on magnetic bit patterned media. Whether the ISI effect is constructive or destructive depends on the surrounding bits. Therefore, we propose a simple 2D coding scheme to mitigate the ISI effect. With this 2D coding scheme in square patterned media, every 2-by-3...
In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient error correction scheme to lower the power consumption of the ADCs in the OFDM system. The proposed opportunistic error correction scheme is based on resolution adaptive ADCs and fountain codes. The key idea is to reduce the dynamic range of the channel by discarding part of the channel in deep fading. Correspondingly, the power consumption in ADCs can...
In wireless OFDM-based systems, coding jointly over all the sub-carriers simultaneously performs better than coding separately per sub-carrier. However, the joint coding is not always optimal because its achievable channel capacity (i.e. the maximum data rate) is inversely proportional to the dynamic range of the channel. In this paper, we propose a novel cross coding scheme to increase the maximum...
In, we have proposed a novel cross-layer scheme based on resolution adaptive ADCs and fountain codes for the OFDM systems to lower the power consumption in ADCs. The simulation results show that it saves more than 70% power consumption in ADCs comparing to the current IEEE 802.11a system. In this paper, we investigate its performance in the realworld. Measurement results show that the FEC layer used...
In wireless OFDM-based systems, coding jointly over all the sub-carriers simultaneously performs better than coding separately per sub-carrier. However, the joint coding is not always optimal. In this paper, we propose a novel coding scheme based on fountain codes, which combines the separate coding and the joint coding over all the sub-carriers. The key element in the new proposed system is that...
In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient scheme to reduce the power consumption of ADCs in MIMO-OFDM systems. The proposed opportunistic error correction scheme is based on resolution adaptive ADCs and fountain codes. The key idea is to transmit a fountain-encoded packet over one single sub-carrier per antenna and to transmit more packets than needed for decoding. Comparing to the IEEE 802.11n...
The current error correction layer of digital mobile TV is designed for worst case scenarios, which often do not apply. In this paper, we propose a new opportunistic error correction layer based on fountain codes and a resolution adaptive ADC, which has been integrated into the OFDM-based physical layer. The key element in the new proposed system is that only packets are processed by the receiver...
The current error correction layer of IEEE 802.11a WLAN is designed for worst case scenarios, which often do not apply. In this paper, we propose a new opportunistic error correction layer based on Fountain codes and a resolution adaptive ADC. The key part in the new proposed system is that only packets are processed by the receiver chain which have encountered "good" channel conditions...
We propose a novel cross layer scheme to reduce the power consumption of ADCs in OFDM systems. The ADCs in a receiver can consume up to 50% of the total baseband energy. Our scheme is based on resolution-adaptive ADCs and Fountain codes. In a wireless frequency-selective channel some subcarriers have good channel conditions and others are attenuated. The key part of the proposed system is that the...
