This work analyses the actual throughput of the Discrete Sine Transform (DST) stage in a realistic HEVC encoder, which executes the rate-distortion optimization algorithm to achieve high compression quality. Then, a low complexity DST factorization, where all the integer multiplications are substituted with add-and-shift operations, is exploited to design an efficient 1D-DST core. The proposed 1D-DST...
The seru system is a new way of assembling products which is widely used in the electronics industry. Unlike the traditional assembly line, several small assembly units are constructed of which each is responsible for assembling an entire product. In this paper, the conversion process of assembly lines to seru systems (line-seru conversion) is studied. A cooperative co-evolution (CC) approach is proposed...
One step required several times for current video encoders is the residual coding loop, composed of the direct transformation, direct quantization, inverse quantization, and inverse transformation. These operations demand high throughput and low latency since their outputs must be processed by other steps of the coder. This paper proposes a high-throughput parallel and multiplierless hardware architecture...
Intravehicular wireless systems are attracting a lot of research interest during the last years. A future scenario where intravehicular wired systems will be replaced by wireless systems will allow to reduce cabling weight and increase the flexibility. But one of the main requirements of wireless systems is to maintain the same reliability level as the wired ones. A system based on LDM (Layered Division...
Recently, data transmission has become more important in our daily life. The developments of communication component are diverging with electromagnetic (EM) techniques. According to the popularity of wireless communications, the limitations of transmission also appear. Especially, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and frequency spectrum shortage would limit the application of wireless communication...
Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) and link adaptation (LA) are two powerful techniques to improve the data throughput in wireless communication systems. However, when integrated with LA, conventional HARQ does not provide much gain over LA without significantly increasing the number of retransmissions and initial coding rate. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of achieving high throughput by combining HARQ...
HTTP Adaptive Streaming is able to dynamically match video quality to variable network conditions. This is a key feature for multimedia delivery when quality of service cannot be granted network-wide. For instance, the end-to-end throughput towards mobile terminals may suffer short term fluctuations due to fading. Hence, robust bitrate adaptation schemes become crucial in order to avoid degraded video...
Today, machine learning based on neural networks has become mainstream, in many application domains. A small subset of machine learning algorithms, called Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), are considered as state-ofthe- art for many applications (e.g. video/audio classification). The main challenge in implementing the CNNs, in embedded systems, is their large computation, memory, and bandwidth...
Broadcasting data to multiple users is widely used in wireless applications. We consider a group of mobile users, within proximity of each other, who are interested in the same video content. Network coded broadcast and cooperative coded communication can improve transmission efficiency and throughput over wireless network separately. In this paper we consider the D2D-assisted wireless network coded...
Multi-path TCP has recently shown great potential to take advantage of the rich path diversity in data center networks (DCN) to increase transmission throughput. However, the small flows, which take a large fraction of data center traffic, will easily get a timeout when split onto multiple paths. Moreover, the dynamic congestions and node failures in DCN will exacerbate the reorder problem of parallel...
It is known that there exists a multiple-unicast network which has a rate 1 linear network coding solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field belongs to a given finite or co-finite set of primes. In this paper, we present a generalization of this result for a linear network coding solution of any rate. Specifically, we show that for any non-zero positive rational number k/n, there...
Encoder and decoder implementations of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard have been subject to many optimization approaches since the release in 2013. However, the real-time decoding of high quality and ultra high resolution videos is still a very challenging task. Especially entropy decoding (CABAC) is most often the throughput bottleneck for very high bitrates. Syntax Element Partitioning...
Spinal codes are a recently proposed capacity-achieving rateless code. While hardware encoding of spinal codes is straightforward, the design of an efficient, high-speed hardware decoder poses significant challenges. We present the first such decoder. By relaxing data dependencies inherent in the classic M-algorithm decoder, we obtain area and throughput competitive with 3GPP turbo codes as well as...
This paper presents a modular architecture for dynamically reconfigurable middlebox with a customized reconfiguration handler. The data plane of this middlebox can be updated remotely at run-time by client to support post-deployment feature extension, customization and optimization. The proposed Reconfiguration Handler can achieve at least 3.19 Gbps of reconfiguration throughput, which reduces the...
Due to asynchronous packet transmissions and rate mismatch among different coding flows in existing opportunistic network coding architectures, such as COPE, the amount of packets which can be coded together may be insufficient and thus the performance gain of network coding cannot be fully exploited. One feasible solution for this problem is to make coding nodepurposely delay some packet transmissions...
Random linear network coding (RLNC) has been shown to efficiently improve the network performance in terms of reducing transmission delays and increasing the throughput in broadcast and multicast communications. However, it can result in increased storage and computational complexity at the receivers end. In our previous work we considered the broadcast transmission of large file to N receivers. We...
In recent years, a significant amount of research has been conducted to explore the benefits of network coding in different scenarios, from both theoretical and simulation perspectives. In this paper, we utilize queueing theory to propose an analytical framework for bidirectional unicast flows in multi-hop wireless mesh networks, and study throughput of inter-flow network coding. We analytically determine...
Wireless communication systems use adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) as well as hybrid ARQ (HARQ) to mitigate the effects of time-varying and error-prone channels. In this work, we analyze the benefits of combining HARQ and AMC adopting the throughput as a unique performance measure. The analysis of block-fading channels and error-prone decoders allows us to conclude that i) adding HARQ on top...
In this work, we propose and optimize a new coding strategy designed to enhance the throughput of hybrid ARQ (HARQ) transmissions over i.i.d. block-fading channels where the channel state information (CSI) is unknown at the transmitter. Unlike in the conventional approach, where many blocks are exclusively assigned to carry the HARQ rounds of a single packet, we use a joint coding and the same channel...
High throughput wireless access networks based on IEEE 802.11ac show a significant challenge in dynamically selecting the link configuration parameters based on channel conditions due to large pool of design set, like number of spatial streams, channel bonding, guard intervals, frame aggregation and different modulation and coding schemes. In this paper, we develop a learning based approach for link...
