DFT-SV-OFDM based adaptive multi-rate DFT scrambling vector code division multiple access by Gao ZHOU, Ping-zhi FAN, Li HAO

“…Multipath interference would degrade the performance of multi-rate systems based on OFDM and CDMA,which spectrum efficiency was also lower relatively.To improve the performance and spectrum efficiency,a novel adaptive multi-rate DFT scrambling vector multi-carrier CDMA (AMR-DFT-VMC-CDMA) was proposed based on the theory of matrix permutation and r-cyclical matrix decomposition characteristics.Meanwhile,by theoretical analysis,the parameters of the system could be adaptively adjusted to ensure frame length long enough to break the restriction between channel bit error rate and data frame length on a certain channel utilization condition.The simulation results show that compared with the traditional multi-rate,multi-subcarrier and spreading system,the new system could achieve multi-rate and multi-user information transmission flexibly with better performance and better spectrum efficiency in fading channels.Moreover,it can satisfy the requirement of frame length under certain channel utilization by adjusting the parameters.…”

An Error Tolerated Congestion Control Algorithm Based on Packet Loss Rate Measurement in Deep Space Communication Network by Junrong Yan, Yulong Lu, Peng Pan

“…Congestion control algorithms of TCP protocol previously used in space communications are mostly based on TCP Vegas algorithm.They always require accurately measurement of RTT,but it's very difficult to achieve in deep space communication networks which have very long and variable delay channel characteristics.An errors tolerated congestion control algorithm is proposed based on packet loss rate measurement.The algorithm sends data in the form of data blocks and gives an errors tolerated degree based on the history data.It measures the congestion state based on the current packet loss rate measurement,so it can achieve a smaller overhead and higher transmission efficiency.In addition,the usage of mathematical modeling methods simplifies the networks and simulates the real network traffic.The mentioned algorithm is compared with the classical congestion control algorithm.Analysis and simulation prove that thethroughput of improved algorithm is 34 percent better than Tahoe and 22 percent better than Reno,so it gets a better performance.…”

Omni directional video coding rate distortion optimization method based on weighted-to-spherically-uniform structural similarity by Yufeng ZHOU, Mei YU, Baozhen DU, Yang SONG, Gangyi JIANG

“…Aiming at the shortcomings of the coding rate distortion model in traditional video coding,considering the characteristics of equal rectangular omnidirectional video,a method of omnidirectional video coding rate distortion optimization based on spherical weighted structural similarity (WS-SSIM) was proposed.By considering the distortion of the internal structural similarity of the projection plane and the relationship between the spherical distortion and the projection plane distortion,the “spherical weighted structural similarity” was proposed to describe the degree of distortion of the planar omnidirectional image local block relative to the viewing sphere,which was applied to the rate-distortion optimization process of omnidirectional video coding and adaptive selection of quantization parameters to improve vision-based coding efficiency.The experimental results show that compared with the HEVC video coding standard HM16.9 test platform,the proposed method can save an average of 24.48% code rate under the same visual quality,which indicates that the method has significant performance for improving the omnidirectional video coding rate distortion performance.…”
