This paper describes how to use the AGU package (AGUTEX) for producing manuscripts, preprints, and camera-ready copy, together with an unofficial extension package called AGU. This extension adds extra features such as author-year citations with BibTEX and true figures in the preprint version. Other extra features include corrected coding to avoid having to give certain numbers explicitly, subl...

Increasing heterogeneity of networks and diversity of user capabilities have determined and sustained a strong interest in robust coding of visual content and flexible adaptation of the bitstreams to network and user conditions. As a result, several methods for robust coding and transmission have been proposed that include multiple description coding, motioncompensated subband video coding, joi...

The quality of online multimedia is required higher and higher, yet the uncertainty of network, such as interference, connection failure, still exists. In order to ensure the quality of service in multimedia transmission, we incorporate erasure code with video code together, and present a collaborative coding framework of Reed-Solomon code (RS) and H.264. First of all, we analyze the common cod...

Spatial prediction is a promising technique for image coding. For example, the coming AVC/H.264 standard adopts directional spatial prediction in the Intra frame coding. Similar to the traditional DCT-based image coding schemes, it still scan the transform coefficients in a zigzag order, which is inefficient for coding the residual signals predicted from the different directions. To tackle this...

Network coding based applications are notoriously susceptible to malicious pollution attacks. Packets authentication schemes have been well-recognized as the most effective approach to address this security threat. However, existing packets authentication schemes for network coding either incur high computation overhead, or are vulnerable to arbitrary collusion among attackers. In this paper, w...

1. Abstract We address the challenge of implementing reliable computation of Boolean functions in future nanocircuit fabrics. Such fabrics are projected to have very high defect rates. We overcome this limitation by using a combination of cheap but unreliable nanodevices and reliable but expensive CMOS devices. In our approach, defect tolerance is achieved through a novel coding of Boolean func...

This paper describes a hybrid sub-band speech coding scheme based on sinusoidal coding and CELP. Purely voiced speech is encoded using sinusoidal coding techniques and phase information is selectively transmitted. For mixed and unvoiced speech, the lower band is processed by sinusoidal coding algorithms while the upper band is encoded using CELP. To accommodate the extra bandwidth required by t...

We consider a grid network where nodes contain small buffers. A packet that faces a crowded buffer in its route will get extra latency and may be dropped. In this paper, we propose a novel flow control protocol called RFCC for grid networks. RFCC tries to reroute delayed packets and utilizes network coding to introduce a configurable amount of redundant information in the network, thereby incre...
