Hierarchical Modulation
Hierarchal Modulation
1. Theory
Wireless transmission of image and video data in hostile mobile environments necessitates for a system which guarantees the quality of the data using effective error protection while at the same time ensures continues video streaming [1]. Unequal Error Protection is a technique which makes use of the fact that not all data in a video stream is equally important [1]. Based on the study first presented in [2], data can be divided into different categories based on its importance and assigned varying levels of error protection. This section focuses on the implementation of unequal error protection in the form of hierarchical modulation.

    Unit 9 Exercise 1

    6. Modulation Speed: (1) Coding of information onto the carrier frequency. Types of modulation include amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation (PM). (2) When light is emitted by a medium, it is coherent, meaning that it is in a fixed-phase relationship within fixed points of the light wave. The light is used because it is a continuous, or sinusoidal, wave (a white or blank form) upon which a signal can be super imposed by modulation of that form. The modulation is a variation imposed upon this white form, a variation of amplitude, frequency, or phase of the light. There are two basic forms of this modulation: one by an analog form, another by a digital signal. This signal is created in the form of the “intelligence” and superimposed…

    In other words, the sequences transmitted from two different antenna elements are orthogonal to each other for each transmission block. For real signal, it is possible to reach full rate. However, it has been proven in [4] that this statement is false for two-dimensional constellations, complex signals. The encoding and decoding approaches follow the pattern described in Alamouti’s method. For complex signals, the theory of orthogonal designs can be used to generate coding matrices that achieve a transmission rate of 1/2 for the cases of 3 and 4 transmission…

    Comparing The Union And Confederacy

    The Union consisted of twenty-three northern states like, Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and several others. Their president was Abraham Lincoln. In most areas the north was ahead of the south. For starters, it consisted of more people in general, and because it had more states, therefore it had more people enlisted in the military. The Union was more advanced when it came to the industrial and agricultural aspects.…

    Digital and Analog Comparison

    An example of analog to digital is the process of faxing. The user starts with a piece of paper (analog), and inserts it into a fax machine. The fax machine converts the text on the paper to a digital form. The modem in turn, converts it to analog. The Class 5 switch at the local exchange converts it to analog. At the other end, his friend via the receiving Class 4 switch converts it to digital. The Class 5 switch at the receiving end local exchange, converts it to analog. . The friend’s modem converts it to digital, and finally the receiving friend’s fax machine prints it out onto paper which is…

    Advantages of Digital Two-Way Radios

    Through most of its history, two-way radio has meant analog voice — the representation of sound waves as either amplitude modulated (AM) or frequency modulated (FM) radio waves. In fact, this is one of the last areas of professional communications to be touched by digital technology. But that’s changing, very quickly, for very good reasons.…

    Unocal

    This case discusses the ethical issue of Union Oil Company of California (Unocal), which was responsible for constructing the 256 mile pipeline to carry the gas from Myanmar to Thailand. However, there were atrocious human rights violations occurring in that region during the pipeline construction period. The argument is whether Unocal benefited the people of Thailand to develop their living environment, or ruined the normal human rights from the country. Unocal is a one way company (vertical and horizontal business distribution strategy) which deals with the oil form the extraction stage to its marketing. As we all know, a company first and foremost point to consider before investing is quite obvious and that is the high profit and low cost. Hence, Unocal as other companies took into consideration several things before investing in Myanmar. As the labor was cheap there, it was rich in natural gas recourses, it as an entry point into other potential productive international markets and the Thailand 's government maintains a stable climate in that country.…

    Design for QAM Modulator

    Design for QAM Modulator

    The design for QAM modulator below is for a standard 16-QAM constellation. The general form of an M-ary signal can be defined as S(t) = sqrt((2*Emin)/Ts)*ai*cos(2πfot) + sqrt((2*Emin)/Ts)*bi*sin(2πfot) Here, Emin is the energy of the signal with lowest amplitude and ai and bi are pair of independent integers chosen according to the location of the particular signal point. Fo is the carrier frequency and Ts is the symbol period. Non-rectangular QAM constellations achieve marginally better bit-error rate (BER) but are harder to modulate and demodulate. Hence, below is the simulation of a rectangular QAM constellation. Simulation model in MATLAB Following is the methodology of simulation of the QAM modulator in MATLAB, 1) Generation of random binary sequence, this is the input which is to be modulated. 2) Assigning group of 4 bits to each 16-QAM constellation symbol per the Gray mapping 3) Addition of white Gaussian Noise 4) Demodulation of 16-QAM symbols Upon reception of the signal, the demodulator examines the received symbol, which may have been corrupted by the channel or the receiver (e.g. additive white Gaussian noise). It selects, as its estimate of what was actually transmitted, that point on the constellation diagram which is closest (in a Euclidean distance sense) to that of the received symbol. Thus it will demodulate incorrectly if the corruption has caused the received symbol to move closer to another constellation point than the one transmitted. The constellation diagram allows a straightforward visualization of this process. 5) De-mapping per decimal to Gray conversion 6) Counting the number of bit errors 7) Running this for each value of SNR so that we can get can arrive at a relation between bit errors and SNR…

    H. 264/Avr Analysis

    Usually, positive acknowledgement message consists of information received by the encoder about the correct reception of a particular frame from the decoder while, the negative acknowledgement message is a feedback information from the decoder that indicates the presence of error in a particular frame. H.264/AVC allows the application of RFS to a particular portion of a picture rather than the complete picture, the decoder must be informed about the reference picture that was selected to predict a particular segment of the frame. This requires that the temporal reference (TR) of the reference picture to be utilised is sent along with the picture header information to indicate which of the several reference pictures the decoder can use to decode a particular frame [187]. Furthermore, this concept can allow frames to be kept in short term or long term memory buffers for future reference; also this concept can be exploited by the encoder for different purposes like achieving efficient compression, bit rate adaptation, and for error resilience…
