This paper is dedicated to the subject of measuring QoS in the Video Telephony over IP (VToIP) service. QoS measurement models in general and then models designed specifically for measuring QoS in the VToIP service are presented. A new numerical tool for examining the quality of VToIP video streams VToIP is described. The tool’s functionality is then put to the test in a number of analysis scenarios...
The article presents a microwave vacuum tube called gyrotron. Its applications, construction and principle of operation are briefly described. It is also discussed the issue of an appropriate electron beam generation and formation.
This article concerns modeling of statistical properties of OFDM signals with the help of “normalized Gaussian” model, proposed by Kotzer et al. In this paper there is provided an extended formulation of the model, supplemented by an expression for probability density, extending possible applications of the model in theoretical works. Numerical results for verification of the model are provided and...
Article presents influence of multiplying variable bitrate high definition (HD) video streams in an access network link on Quality of Service (QoS). The aim of a conducted study is to define key parameters influencing Quality of Experience (QoE). Numerous simulations were performed and indicators like packet loss, delay, jitter, frame loss and bandwidth utilization were observed. Moreover, two independent...
In the paper a proposal for the improvement of performance for the TETRA Enhanced Data System (TEDS) employing transmit diversity based on two antennas in the downlink is described. The key idea of the considerations relies on using the space-frequency coding algorithm. The proposal described required some relatively simple changes to the existing TEDS’s Single Input Single Output (SISO) interface...
The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission is the optimum version of the multicarrier transmission scheme, which has the capability to achieve high data rate. The key issue of OFDMsystem is the allocation of bits and power over a number of subcarriers. In this paper, a new power allocation algorithm based on subcarrier gain is proposed to maximize the bit rate. For OFDM systems,...
In this paper a comparative study, restricted to one-dimensional stationary case, between several Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms of narrowband signals is presented. The informative signals are corrupted by an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), to show the performance of each method by applying directly the algorithms without pre-processing techniques such as forward-backward averaging...
Trajectory optimization problems with black-box represented objective functions are often solved with the use of some meta-heuristic algorithms. The aim of this paper is to show that gradient-based algorithms, when applied correctly, can be effective for such problems as well. One of the key aspects of successful application is choosing, in the search space, a basis appropriate for the problem. In...
In the following paper, evaluation of quality of con- tent distributed within 3DTV service is assessed. The performed analysis reveals a multiplicity of parameters as a compound factor defining the contemporary approach towards quality assessment. Taking into consideration a successful telecommunication service creation, an examination of content chain identifies crucial stages founding the path of...
This paper deals with the burst ratio parameter, which describes the burstiness of a packet loss observed in digital networks. It is one of the input parameters of E-model – the most widely used method of assessing conversational quality of telephony. The burst ratio is defined for one channel scenario so it can be calculated when the whole transmission path has been characterized by a single set...
This paper proposes idea of videotoms usage in quality tests of video signals. This concept simplifies parametric model creation for television services such as IPTV (Internet Protocol Television), VoD (Video on Demand) and others. Videotom is simple, well-defined video sequence in the context of video quality tests. Presented idea was used in both objective and subjective tests of influence selected...
In the last decades, clinical evidence and expert consensus have been encoded into advanced Decision Support Systems (DSSs) in order to promote a better integration into the clinical workflow and facilitate the automatic provision of patient specific advice at the time and place where decisions are made. However, clinical knowledge, typically expressed as unstructured and free text guidelines, requires...
