The outstanding compression competence of H.264/AVC is extensively used for video conferencing, online streaming and for HD television. Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) encoder is a vital part in H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) main and high profiles that provides a real time encoding video of ultra high resolution. A CABAC compresses the components in the video signal according to the probability of those elements in a given context. CABAC encoder provides great compression rate over Context-Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) baseline entropy encoder. An entropy encoder is a scheme used for lossless compression. A video sequence is a combination of bits which is referred as syntax element. The allocation of bits in various Syntax Elements (SE) [3] is analysed for the reduction in large amount of bit level operations involved and computational complexity involved. An optimised scheme for accessing the contexts and a Binary Arithmetic Encoder (BAE) capable of processing four bins per cycle m nm, is presented. Hence parallelism and throughput is achieved by the means of reduction in syntax and bit level dependency. The proposed fully hardwired encoder is synthesised towards a 90nm CMOS cell library in ASIC flow using Cadence RTL Compiler.","PeriodicalId":403064,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Mutli-Conference on Automation, Computing, Communication, Control and Compressed Sensing (iMac4s)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125325891","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}

MANETs have proved their necessity and the ease of setting up networks. Thus MANETs are very popular for scenarios which are sensitive and urgent like disaster relief, military applications, etc. As the application of MANETs increases, the attacks on MANETs also increase. A vast range of research is being conducted to keep routing in MANETs robust and secure. One of the major research area is routing privacy. Many routing solutions are proposed to maintain privacy. Location aided routing is a novel idea; in which routing is done based on location information, therefore node identity is not revealed.

It is thus important to reduce the image file sizes for storage and effective communication. Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is a lossy image compression technique which uses moment preserving quantization method for compressing digital gray level images. Even though this method retains the visual quality of the reconstructed image with good compression ratio, it shows some artifacts like staircase effect, raggedness, etc. near the edges. A set of advanced BTC variants reported in literature were studied and it was found that though the compression efficiency is good, the quality of the image has to be improved. A modified Block Truncation Coding using max-min quantizer (MBTC) is proposed in this paper to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks. In the conventional BTC, quantization is done based on the mean and standard deviation of the pixel values in each block. In the proposed method, instead of using the mean and standard deviation, an average value of the maximum, minimum and mean of the blocks of pixels is taken as the threshold for quantization. Experimental analysis shows an improvement in the visual quality of the reconstructed image by reducing the mean square error between the original and the reconstructed image. Since this method involves less number of simple computations, the time taken by this algorithm is also very less when compared with BTC.","PeriodicalId":403064,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Mutli-Conference on Automation, Computing, Communication, Control and Compressed Sensing (iMac4s)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116346578","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 paper describes the works carried out to evaluate the present system requirement and the proposal for the most optimal location for FACTS device to meet the requirement. The criterion used in finding the optimal location is based on the voltage profile of the system; ie the voltage deviation at each bus with respect to its optimum value is minimized.

One distinguishes between two kinds of blocking, the first is called new call blocking and refers to blocking of new calls, and the second is called handoff blocking and refers to blocking of ongoing calls due to the mobility of the users. There are many methods of allocating a channel upon a new call arrival or handoff attempt. A good channel allocation is the one that yields high spectral efficiency for a specified grade of service (including link quality, probability of new call blocking, and the probability of forced terminations) and given degree of computational complexity It also keeps the planned cell boundaries intact, allocates a channel to MS quickly, maintains the best speech quality for the MS at any instant, and relives undesired network congestions. In this paper a simple and dynamic mobile controlled handoff based on quality of service is proposed which initiates a handoff procedure when RSS (Received signal strength) from serving BS falls below the threshold level. By using DCA (Dynamic Channel Assignment) info regarding the GOS (grade of services) and Quality of Service parameters at BS's whose RSS is greater than the serving BS is acquired by MS. By examine the parameters MS will choose the best BS to make a successful handoff with good voice quality. Forced terminations are generally perceived to severely degrade the quality of service. For this reason first priority of allocating channel is given to the handoff requests more readily then to new cell arrivals. This reduces the probability of forced termination at the expense of a (slight) increase in probability of new call blocking. These results are represented graphically in the paper.","PeriodicalId":403064,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Mutli-Conference on Automation, Computing, Communication, Control and Compressed Sensing (iMac4s)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128489989","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 main objectives of the rectifier is to convert the ac power generated by the wind system to dc and the control algorithm for the VSC is the control of the magnitude and the frequency of the load voltage. This system has the capability of bidirectional active- and reactive-power flow, by which it controls the magnitude and the frequency of the load voltage.
