Fast QTMT partition decision based on deep learning by Shuang PENG, Xiaodong WANG, Zongju PENG, Fen CHEN

“…Compared with the predecessor standards, versatile video coding (VVC) significantly improves compression efficiency by a quadtree with nested multi-type tree (QTMT) structure but at the expense of extremely high coding complexity.To reduce the coding complexity of VVC, a fast QTMT partition method was proposed based on deep learning.Firstly, an attention-asymmetric convolutional neural network was proposed to predict the probability of partition modes.Then, the fast decision of partition modes based on the threshold was proposed.Finally, the cost of coding performance and time was proposed to obtain the optimal threshold, and the threshold decision method was proposed.Experimental results at different levels show that the proposed method achieves an average time saving of 48.62%/52.93%/62.01% with the negligible BDBR of 1.05%/1.33%/2.38%.Such results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.…”

Feedback bit allocation in distributed antenna array systems by Shuai ZHANG, Peng PAN, Cui WANG

“…In a frequency division duplex communication system,precoding at the base station usually requires terminal feedback channel state information.In a distributed array system,the channel conditions between the terminal and different access nodes in the cell are different because multiple access nodes are arranged at different locations in the cell.When the resources for feedback channel state information are limited,the allocation method of feedback bit needs to be optimized to improve the overall performance of the system.In a multi-user distributed array system,an access node selection method based on distance threshold was adopted.Based on this method,the quantization characteristics of the random vector quantization codebook and the Taylor expansion method were used to derive the system quantization capacity loss,and then an approximate expression was given.Based on this expression,a feedback bit allocation method was proposed.Compared with other allocation methods,the method of this paper was more universal because it did not limit the number of access nodes selected by the user.The simulation results show that the strategy proposed is superior to the traditional equal-bit allocation scheme and can obtain better performance when the feedback resources are limited.…”
