Joint source-channel coding/decoding (JSCC/JSCD) techniques have become state-of-the-art and one of the challenging research subjects in the spatial communication area. This paper addresses the basic ...

Power is one of the most important criterions in designing any modern system. As technology shrinks, the power dissipated by the links of a Network-on-Chip (NoC) starts to compete with the power ...

Distributed video coding (DVC) represents a paradigm shift in video compression, wherein the computational burden is transferred from the encoder to the decoder. This approach exploits the inherent ...

In the previous sections, we discussed several error concealment techniques, targeted at alleviating the consequences of packet losses. Some of these techniques are ...

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) 2005 Food Code states that the estimated cost of foodborne illness is $10–$83 billion annually. These staggering numbers, not to mention the potential of ...
