First, letting each user use an appropriate circular shift of the base SRS, the MU-SC-FDMA signal model is given. Then we derive an efficient MU channel estimation (MUCE) algorithm, which needs only a pair of FFT/IFFT operation to obtain all the users' channel impulse responses. Moreover, the computer simulation results show that only a small degradation in bit error performance is incurred by MUCE. Finally, we set up a Instruments-in-MATLAB Software-Defined Radio (IM-SDR) platform to verify the feasibility of the MUCE algorithm. Real-world measurement results of a two-user experiment show that the MUCE can simultaneously and accurately estimate the two-user channel responses specified by the RF channel emulator.","PeriodicalId":6297,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Consumer Electronics","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83598640","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 high efficiency video coding (HEVC), ALF is designed based on Wiener filter to minimize the distortion between the original frame and the coded frame. In order to design the optimal filter for each CU, the filter design process is repeated 12 times per CU. The repetition of the filter design process occupies about 77 percent in the total ALF computation time, which substantially increases the encoder complexity. The proposed method simplifies the filter design with the CU depth-based ALF decision, which is based on the observation by exploiting ineffective computations. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the encoding time for the repetition of the filter design process by about 13 percent of that of the HEVC test model (i.e., HM 5.0) with 0.1 percent BD-rate increase.","PeriodicalId":6297,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Consumer Electronics","volume":"73 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75405685","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 simple iterative two-dimensional equalizer, which is based on the contraction mapping theorem, to mitigate these adverse effects. The performance of the proposed equalizer is evaluated using computer simulations for various conditions. Simulation results suggest that the proposed equalizer is a good candidate for ultra-high capacity PMS with a moderate complexity.","PeriodicalId":6297,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Consumer Electronics","volume":"43 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74669693","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 paper investigates the suitability of GPU for Raptor code to process large block and symbol sizes in FEC transmission. The serial and parallel implementations of Raptor code are explored on CPU and GPU, respectively. Our work show that the efficient parallelization on the GPU can improve the performance of the decoder significantly by a factor of up to 46. Furthermore, to understand the performance bottlenecks of Raptor code on both the GPU and CPU platforms, the decoding speed is evaluated in different block and symbol sizes.","PeriodicalId":6297,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Consumer Electronics","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78129887","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 nonlinear acoustics of the human body allow ultrasonic waves to interact in the transmission medium. When two ultrasonic waves with different frequencies are transmitted through the human body, an audio signal at the difference frequency of two waves is produced in the ears due to the self-demodulation effect.","PeriodicalId":6297,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Consumer Electronics","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83790906","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}
