Underwater acoustic sensor networks are characterized by limited transmit power and bandwidth, and a harsh communication environment. Different techniques for reliable communication in underwater networks have been studied in the literature at different layers of the network protocol stack. Among these, the use of fountain codes as a way for improving the quality of the communication over a highly...
We present a novel SIMD multiply array for fixed-point and floating-point multiplication. To be concrete, the array supports one 54 (unsigned), one 32 or four 16 bits (signed/unsigned) operation. Based on the enhanced booth decode algorithm, the time overhead of the multiplications is reduced. The proposed intermediate result reuse strategy can reduce area overhead of the SIMD multiply array. The...
Decimal Arithmetic Hardware Research accelerated phenomenally in the last decade with introduction of Decimal Floating Point formats in IEEE 754–2008. ‘Addition’ being one of the primitive arithmetic operations has attracted numerous literary proposals involving the 8421 standard BCD code as well as nonstandard decimal digit representation codes (4221, 5211 etc.). This paper concentrates on Fixed...
Asynchronous quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) circuits are a promising solution for coping with aggressive process variations faced by modern technologies, as they can gracefully accommodate gate and wire delay variations. Furthermore, due to their inherent robustness, such circuits are also promising for deep voltage scaling applications, where delays are orders of magnitude larger. However, QDI design...
An efficient numeral-based coding mechanism, called SDT-free is proposed in this paper that avoids crosstalk faults. The SDT-free coding mechanism completely removes bit patterns ‘11111’ and ‘00000’ which impose the worst crosstalk effects considering inductance effects. In this way, the coding mechanism improves the reliability of chip channels and offers invariant delay for channels. To minimize...
Along with advances in modern VLSI technology, delay faults are becoming ever more important. On the other hand, the strength of SAT-solver engines has made them an attractive means for solving many Computer Aided Design (CAD) problems. This paper presents a new SAT-based Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) approach targeting transition delay faults using a novel 8-value encoding system. Experimental...
We investigate adaptive transmission for tactical packet radio networks in which a source uses fountain coding to multicast a file to a number of destinations over time-varying links. We examine two strategies from the literature for packet-by-packet adaptation of the modulation and channel code. The maximum data-recovery rate philosophy attempts to maximize the throughput for each transmitted packet...
Dual Connectivity(DC) is one of the key technologies standardized in Release 12 of the 3GPP specifications for the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. It attempts to increase the per-user throughput by allowing the user equipment (UE) to maintain connections with the MeNB (master eNB) and SeNB (secondary eNB) simultaneously, which are inter-connected via non-ideal backhaul. In this paper, we focus...
Interactive video streaming requires very low latency and high throughput. Traditional latency based congestion control algorithm performs poorly in fairness. This results in very poor video quality to adaptive video streaming. Software defined networks (SDN) enables us to solve the problem by designing a network controller in the routers. This paper presents a SDN-centric TCP where sending rate of...
In this paper we introduce and evaluate Haar based codec assisted medium and long range data transport structures, e.g., bus segments, Network on Chip interconnects, able to deal with technology scaling related phenomena (e.g., increased susceptibility to proximity coupling noise and transmission delay variability), targeting energy savings at the expense of a reasonably small overhead, i.e., 1 extra...
Unpredictable value of carry bit in the summation of carry-sum is an annoying issue preventing carry-sum from being applied to designs with sign extension. In this paper, we propose a methodology to determine the carry bit of the carry-sum form output generated by Booth encoded multiplier without final addition. We discover that this carry bit is a constant "1" in traditional unsigned Modified...
Ste gano graphic systems are used for the transmission of hidden data in the original signal. The article describes the algorithm of the hidden data transmission using the speech signal as a carrier. The echo method is used for data embedding. In order to improve the decoding efficiency of embedded data, the procedure of voicing correction and mechanism of informed coding were developed and implemented...
The development of ultrafast ultrasound imaging brings great opportunities to improve imaging technologies such as shear wave elastography and ultrafast Doppler imaging. In ultrafast imaging, there are trade-offs among image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), resolution, and the high frame rate. Multiplane wave (MW) imaging is proposed to solve this tradeoff by encoding multiple plane waves with positive/negative...
Telehaptic systems aim at providing a higher level of immersion into a remote environment by adding an ability of physical interaction with the objects and/or people in the distant space. A system consists of an operator and a remote robotic device equipped with sensors and actuators which can transmit interaction parameters to the operator upon the contact with the environment. Telehaptic systems...
In this paper, we present a new method of constructing Z-complementary pulse trains from sequences with property of Equal Sums of (like) Powers (called ESP sequences) which are resilient to Doppler shifts. Numerical experiments indicate that the proposed Z-complementary pulse trains obtained from ESP sequences have better Doppler resilience than waveforms constructed from the well-known Prouhet-Thue-Morse...
Facial composite technologies are used to produce visual resemblances of an offender. However, resemblances may be poor, particularly when composites are constructed using traditional ‘feature’ composite systems deployed several days after the crime. In this case a witness may have forgotten important details about an offender's appearance. Engaging in early and repeated retrieval attempts could potentially...
The WiMAX network in the city of Baghdad is established by “The State Company for Internet Services” (SCIS). SCIS is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Communications (MoC) in Iraq. SCIS is responsible for the installation and operation of WiMAX networks and is also the prime “Wireless Internet service provider” (WISP) in Iraq. This paper presents a simulation model of a WiMAX network for the city of...
Content-addressable memory (CAM) is the hardware based particular type of memory device utilized for low power and high-speed application. CAMs are developed for precise application without sacrificing their search speed, and it is much faster than random accessmemory (RAM) in search application. CAM executes two essential functions storing and comparing. The additional circuitry during comparison...
In this paper, a high speed digital excess loop delay (ELD) compensation scheme with hybrid thermometer coding is proposed. In this high speed compensation, the time constraint of the DAC feedback route is shifted to the one clock compensation path. Also, the method to deal with the signal overflows the quantizer's range is analyzed. Compared to other digital ELD compensations, this scheme features...
The inherent nature of polar codes being channel specific makes it difficult to use them in a setting where the communication channel changes with time. In particular, to be able to use polar codes in a wireless scenario, varying attenuation due to fading needs to be mitigated. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no comprehensive work in this direction thus far. In this work, a practical...
