In this paper, we investigate the impact of timing mismatch among different sub-bands on the performance of a multicarrier spectral-slicing OFDM system with a single coherent receiver, both in the back-to-back configuration and long-distance fiber transmission. Two different timing mismatch models, namely linear timing error and Gaussian timing error, are introduced and investigated. Furthermore,...
The migration of railway communication technology from GSM-based to LTE-based has been decided by International Union of Railway. This means that a future train control system will be one based on LTE accordingly. For the highest reliability of train operation in such a system, a fully duplicated network structure with overlaid radio cells is needed. Existing methods and results are often relied on...
In this paper, a compact triplexer is proposed by cascading three tilted multimode interference couplers for FTTH applications. AH components based on silicon rib waveguides. Firstly, a MMI coupler is designed to separate the 1310 nm wavelength band by using pseudo self-imaging technique. A tiled MMI coupler is then cascaded to separate the 1490 nm and 1550 nm wavelength bands. Numerical simulations...
This paper proposes an approach to optimize service placement on Fog landscape in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). A multi-tier fog computing architecture that supports IoT service provision is devised. Based on this architecture, a novel service placement mechanism that optimizes service decentralization on Fog landscape leveraging context-aware information such as location, time, quality...
Future mobile networks are known to deploy a two-tier architecture of macrocell — femtocell [1]. In the two-tier architecture, femtocell downlink channels can cause strong co-channel interference to downlink transmission of macrocell users (MUs) which use the same frequency. The co-channel downlink interference to the MU might cause the MU's QoS degradation. To maintain the QoS of the MU's connection,...
Nowadays, 360-degree video has become an important component of virtual reality (VR) technology. Unfortunately, this state-of-the-art content type requires a huge bandwidth from a server to a client. In order to solve the bandwidth problem in streaming VR videos over HTTP/2, a dynamic adaptation method is crucial. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive streaming method based on tiled streaming...
The recent light field imaging technology has been attracting a lot of interests due to its potential applications in a large number of areas including Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality (VR/AR), Teleconferencing, and E-learning. Light Field (LF) data is able to provide rich visual information such as scene rendering with changes in depth of field, viewpoint, and focal length. However, Light Field...
Surveillance visual systems play an important role in modern life, especially in the Internet of Things (IoTs) era. However, the limitation of bandwidth, energy resources and the heterogeneity of devices, networks and environments have been asking for a more powerful video coding solution, which provides not only the high compression efficiency but also the flexible scalability capability. In this...
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the new video compression standard. A novel optimized architecture of Integer Motion Estimation (IME) for HEVC processing 8K video is presented in this paper. This architecture achieves 8K (7680×4320) video in real time at 43 fps (frames per second) with a frequency of 142 MHz and a latency of 402 clock cycles. The proposed design has been synthesized and simulated...
Device screen size, design layout and resolution are some of the device context parameters which impact video quality on mobile devices. In this paper, through subjective tests, we evaluate the impact of mobile device pixel density on the video quality. We then, through the subjective test, propose a video quality model that takes pixel density into consideration. The proposed model was evaluated,...
Digital watermarking is a technique that is widely used to protect rightful ownership of digital images. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid watermarking scheme for stereo images copyright protection. According to the property of stereo images, similar block pairs are located by using a certain key. Then, each block pair is transformed into DCT domain and DCT coefficients are extracted from the anti-diagonal...
In this paper, we propose a method of protecting patient information using adaptive steganography technique on ECG (Electrocardiogram) signal. The process of embedding information uses the LSB (Least Significant Bit) matching algorithm to reduce the change on the cover object. Patient information is only embedded in the signal between the T-P wave (resting heart) to prevent the interfere with important...
