The integration of the scheme into video decoder will not involve any extra video decoding complexity. It adopts the simple bus-invert encoding scheme. Based on the fact that the power consumption of logic ‘0’ bit is less than that of logic ‘1’, bus-invert encoding scheme is applied to the transferring data between video decoder and off-chip memory. Meanwhile, the features of fault tolerance of human eyes and lossy processing of video decoding application are exploited to solve the extra flag-bit of encoder scheme in off-chip SDARM memory, which has the fixed bit width and is less flexible than on-chip SRAM. This scheme is integrated into MPEG-2 decoder system. The experiment results show that this scheme can archive 20%-35% reduction in power consumption of logic ‘1’ bit, and the objective quality of image has about 1.5db PSNR improvement on average.","PeriodicalId":221833,"journal":{"name":"2011 Tenth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115444792","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}

Traffic congestion causes economic loss and makes energy efficient worse. Therefore untying traffic congestion is required. In Japan, vehicle information and communication system (VICS) is famous for a congestion avoidance system. However, VICS depends on infrastructures. On the other hand, vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs) are independent from such infrastructures. In this paper, we propose a route discover method for alleviating traffic congestions. Since growing traffic congestions makes trip time long, the proposed method provides a driving route whose trip time becomes short. Also we show results of the simulation experiments in this paper.","PeriodicalId":221833,"journal":{"name":"2011 Tenth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123171555","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}

In this paper we present a prioritization mechanism for emergency case in both medical and non-medical WBANs applications. The main idea of this mechanism is to allow highest priority nodes or nodes of emergency to get the channel immediately at the expense of low priority nodes. This mechanism postpones the reservation of low priority nodes until the all high priority nodes are resolved. We apply a collision resolution protocol, tree algorithm, to achieve our goal. It can be observed from the simulation results that tree algorithm allows high priority nodes to get the channel first without contending with the low priority ones.","PeriodicalId":221833,"journal":{"name":"2011 Tenth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125007200","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}

For example, the maximum link speed of WINDS (Wideband Internetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite) which was launched on 2008 is 1.2Gbit/s. WINDS is expected to support applications in education, medicine including telemedicine, and disaster countermeasures. Therefore, such satellite communication service is one of the key technologies for network assurance. TCP-STAR was proposed to improve the throughput over satellite Internet. However, no experimental evaluation of TCP-STAR over satellite links such as WINDS has been published. Therefore, this paper evaluates the performance of TCP-STAR by comparing with TCP-New Reno and TCP-Hybla over a network consisting of WINDS, HDR-VSAT, and portable VSAT. As a result, it is found that TCP-STAR and TCP-Hybla achieve better throughput when segment losses do not occur, while TCP-STAR achieves the best throughput when segment losses occur.","PeriodicalId":221833,"journal":{"name":"2011 Tenth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130410969","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}

In order to obtain better performance, the suitable migration method should be chosen. In this paper, we present performance evaluation of both migration methods, and demonstrate that performance of processes on a migrating virtual machine severely declines.
