Dual Adaptive Turbo Coded Modulation for Integrated Multimedia Service Transmission

This paper proposes a cross-layer dual adaptive coded modulation architecture using turbo codes for mobile multimedia communication, which adapts to both the varying channel characteristics and the QoS of various multimedia services simultaneously to increase the average system throughput substantially. A pragmatic channel-adaptive turbo coded modulation scheme, which comeswithin 2.5 dB of the Shannon limit, is optimally designed,and then a QoS-adaptive scheme is superimposed to buildthe dual adaptive architecture. Simulation results show thatthe novel dual adaption reduces the gap from the fadingchannel capacity to 2 dB when assuming different servicesoccur in equal probability and the service duration followsexponential distribution.     

Optimal Bayesian Sampling Plans Based on Hybrid Type-Ⅱ Censored Samples

The Bayesian sampling plans for exponential distributions are studied based on type-Ⅱ hybrid censored samples. The optimal Bayesian sampling plan is derived under a general loss function which includes the sampling cost, time-consuming cost, salvage value,and decision loss. It is employed to determine the Bayes risk and the corresponding optimal sampling plan. An explicit expression of the Bayes risk is derived. Furthermore,for the conjugate prior distribution,the closed-form formula of the Bayes decision rule can be obtained under either the linear or quadratic decision loss.     

Implementing Operating System Support for Extended Trusted Path in TPM-Capable Environments

Trusted path is one of the crucial features that operating systems must provide for fundamental security support. In order to explore the possibility of implementing a trusted path mechanism with the support of trusted platform module （TPM） technologies, and to support TPM capabilities in operating systems, the paper extended the scope of the conventional trusted path to cover the situation in which a user communicates with software residing on a remote host. The paper combined the concept of operating system support for trusted path with that for TPM platforms, and proposed the architecture of an extended trusted path mechanism in operating system with considerations on TPM-capable platforms support. As part of the author＇s research in secure operating systems, the work of the paper was carried out with Linux as an experimental prototype system. The research result shows that TPM capabilities can strengthen extended trusted path mechanisms of operating systems.     

High Performance of a TOA-TDOA Hybrid GSM Location System for Intelligent Transportation Systems

This paper illustrates the performance of a mobile positioning technique applicable to a GSM network. An experimental system of a network-based GSM positioning for ITS has been proposed, and the hybrid TOA-TDOA method based on GSM signaling has been analyzed and used. The performance of the proposed system is showed through simulations in urban and suburban environments. The accuracy for 67% mobile stations is 70 m in urban and 120 m in suburban. The accuracy, coverage and network load of positioning system are also analyzed.     

移动通信中基于Turbo码的混合ARQ方案

在移动环境中,由于信道的时变特性,单纯的FEC或ARQ机制往往无法提供所希望的系统性能。为了提高数据及图像的传输可靠性,需采用ARQ与FEC相结合的混合ARQ差错控制方案。首先介绍了几种常见的以Turbo码作为纠错码的混合ARQ方案,然后研究了基于Turbo码组合译码的有限次重传混合ARQ方案,给出了传输方案及组合译码算法。仿真结果表明,低Eb/No时,该方案对通过率有明显改善。
