Improved Polar selective decoding and forwarding cooperation by Qichao SUN, Jianrong BAO, Chao LIU, Bin JIANG, Fang ZHU, Jianhai HE

“…An improved Polar selective decoding and forwarding (IPSDF) scheme based on cooperative threshold de-cision was proposed.Firstly,a new construction of Polar codes according to the fading channel state information (CSI) was proposed.Then,a relay with best CSI was selected from the candidate relay set as the best relay.In addition,the proposed Polar codes were introduced into the cooperative communication system,to get coding gain and reduce the complex of encoding and decoding.Simulation results show that the proposed Polar codes achieve about 0.3 dB gain at bit-error-rate (BER) of 10<sup>−3</sup>.And using a classic multi-relay cooperative model,the proposed scheme achieves about 0.8 dB and 1.3 dB gain at BER of 10<sup>−3</sup>,when compared with those the existing DF Polar+ and network Polar coded coopera-tion scheme.Therefore,the IPSDF scheme can be used to improve BER performance in a multi-relay cooperative system and it is quite suitable for heterogeneous network applications in cooperative communication.…”

Panoramic video coding based on spherical distortion with spatio-temporal dependency by Xu YANG, Ce ZHU, Hongwei GUO, Lei LUO

“…The planar coding distortion, which affects objective quality, and spherical distortion, which affects subjective quality, as well as existing independent rate-distortion optimization techniques that fail to consider the temporal propagation of spherical distortion and its impact on coding performance, result in coding performance degradation.To address these issues, a spatio-temporal dependent spherical distortion model was proposed for optimizing panoramic video coding.Firstly, a spatial mapping model was proposed to map spherical distortions to coding distortions, aiming to align subjective and objective quality assessments.Secondly, a temporal propagation model for spherical distortions was introduced to enhance the overall coding performance of all coding units in the propagation chain.Finally, the coding parameters were adjusted by computing the weights for spatial mapping and temporal propagation of spherical distortions.Experimental results demonstrate that, under low-delay encoding configurations, compared to the VTM14.0, a state-of-the-art video coding benchmark, the proposed algorithm achieves an average bitrate savings of 7.4% (up to 22.1%) and reduction in coding time of 9%.…”
