Two other uniform quantizers are also analyzed in terms of rate-distortion characteristics. It is verified that better rate-distortion characteristics are obtained by using decision levels shifted from the midpoints of quantization intervals. The new decision levels give the optimum round off thresholds. Experimental results show that, applying Laplacian input source, the SNR is improved by 0.87 dB at 0.8 bits/sample compared with a widely used uniform quantizer.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78836120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This smaller cell size causes frequent handoffs between cells, so a new handoff method is needed in order to provide the user with the seamless connection service. In this paper, we propose a handoff method which is fit for the picocellular networks the cell size of which is the order of ten meters or more. We call this method SGMH (SubGroup Multicast-based Handoff). Since SGMH considers the MH speed and the distance from the MH's current location to the candidate handoff cells, on selecting the multicast subgroups, it reduces the buffer overhead which is the main drawback of multicast-based handoff. We evaluated the performance of SGMH through the analysis and simulation of the traffic of handoff requests. Simulation results show that the reduction of buffer overhead decreases the blocking probability of handoff requests. We believe that SGMH will be applied for the time constraint service area such as audio and video related applications.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73446444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This recovery process is very important in many image processing applications. In the present paper we propose two methods which improve the conventional iterative restoration algorithms. One is to accelerate convergence of the steepest descent method using the improved search directions. The other accelerates convergence by using preconditioners. It is also shown that the proposed preconditioned algorithm can accelerate iteration-adaptive iterative image restoration algorithm. The preconditioner in the proposed algorithm can be implemented by using the FIR filter structure, so it can be applied to practical application with manageable amounts of computation.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73112357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detection module is based on the investigation of user's Eb/Mo received at the channel element (CE) of Base Station (BS) for finding a jamming mobile station (MS) when all the SNRs of the mobile stations are greater than a threshold. In order to find the jamming MS in which the mean of received Eb/No is less than 8.5 dB, the verification module is based on transmitting the decreased power control bit to the MS. The control module is based on the disconnection of active call of jamming MS. As a result, we can find a jamming MS using the adaptive anti-jamming algorithm in DS-CDMA cellular system and prevent the coverage of cell from shrinking due to the jamming MS and decrease the load of system by hand-off.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82121349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
