A classical single-carrier scheme with root-raised-cosine filtering and two DFT-based schemes are considered, one with and another without a novel spectral expansion. It is shown how to design waveforms similar to the classical scheme by using this spectral expansion. The advantages are that now the transmitter and receiver can be fully specified in frequency domain and that any fraction of the total bandwidth can be assigned to a user. For constant-amplitude modulation (e.g. BPSK, QPSK), the power dynamics is reduced by 3 dB with spectral expansion. Of course, this is bought for 25% more bandwidth. The inherent power dynamics of complex QAM constellations covers part of this gain. Spectral expansion may sometimes be dispensable, e.g. for 16-QAM in the 3GPP LTE uplink. The evolution to MIMO follows directly from the receiver concept based on virtual antennas.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115407187","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 discuss power efficient implementation methods of motion estimation algorithm to suit the DSP based processor architecture. Proposed schemes are optimal pixel sub sampling pattern for SAD computation and half pixel estimation derived from SAD of integer search.

The credit card started as a magnetized data plate carrying the owners name, the account number, and the store(s) where it could be used. Several generations of credit cards have come and gone since then. The next generation of credit card-smart cards-incorporate micro processing and data storage capability and provide enhanced security for financial transactions. Smart Cards have not yet gained significant market share in the United States (U.S.). This lack of market penetration is due, in part, for the need to provide power and communications from the card reader to access the smart chip, as well as the perceived lack of apparent value added, given the cost to upgrade an extensive network of card readers to facilitate that functionality. This paper will deal with the next generation credit card. Advances in robust micro-circuitry, nanotechnology, displays, speakers, switches, and battery technology have led to the development of credit/debit cards with significantly enhanced capabilities. By introducing an embedded power source, a credit card can be used to provide novel modes of communication, such as the ability to play audio files or produce complex audio encrypted data and validate the authenticity of the transaction.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115883131","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 Home Domain is composed of personal computers, consumer electronics and mobile devices that communicate with each other via an IP network. However, due to the diversity of the capabilities of these devices (formats supported, memory, processing power, etc.), interoperability is a challenge. For instance, set-top boxes and DVD players support the MPEG-2 video format while mobile phones only support H.263 and/or MPEG-4. Adding a video transcoding service, acting as an intermediate between a digital media server and various digital media players, would allow transparent sharing of the media content within the network. This study has two main objectives. Firstly to insert transparently a transcoding service within the existing Home Domain architecture; and secondly to implement such a service using only open source software components. An FFmpeg-based video transcoding server for the Home Domain was implemented.","PeriodicalId":426585,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Portable Information Devices","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128314854","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}
