Abstract: Relay featured cognitive radio network scenario is considered in the absence of direct link between secondary user (SU) and secondary base station (S-BS). Being a realistic deployment use case scenario, relay node can be subjected to pollution attacks. Forward error correction (FEC) driven network coding (NC) method is employed as a defense mechanism in this paper. By using the proposed methods, pollution attack is efficiently defended. Bit error rate (BER) measurements are used to quantify network reliability. Furthermore, in the absence of any attack, the proposed method can efficiently contribute to network performance by improving BER. Simulation results underline our mechanism is superior to existing FEC driven NC methods such as low density parity check (LDPC).

Abstract: In a multicast video streaming service the same multimedia content is sent to a mass audience using only one multicast stream. In multicast video streaming over a cellular network, due to the nature of the multicast communication, from a source to multiple recipients, and due to the characteristics of the radio channel, different for each receiver, transmission errors are addressed at the application level by using Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques. However, in order to protect the communication over the radio channel, FEC techniques are also applied at the physical layer. Another important technique to improve the communication of the radio channel is the use of a single-frequency network. This paper analyzes the performance of a video streaming service over a cellular network taking into account the combined impact of different factors that affect the transmission, both the physical deployment of the service and the two levels of FEC.

Abstract: This paper presents the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the wireless communication system. The complexity of modern wireless communication system are increasing at fast pace. It becomes challenging to design the hardware of wireless system. The proposed system consists of MIMO transmitter and MIMO receiver along with a realistic fading channel. To make the data transmission more secure when the data are passed into channel Crypto-System with Embedded Error Control (CSEEC) is used. The system supports data security and reliability using forward error correction codes (FEC). Security is provided through the use of a new symmetric encryption algorithm, and reliability is provided by the use of FEC codes. The system aims at speeding up the encryption and encoding operations and reduces the hardware dedicated to each of these operations. The proposed system allows users to achieve more security and reliable communication. The proposed BER measurement communication system consumes low power compared to existing systems. Advantage of VLSI based BER measurement it that they can be used in the Real time applications and it provides single chip solution.

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate secure communications by introducing superimposed pilots for multiple antenna system. The superimposed pilots enable the trellis-based joint channel tracking and data detection for the user of interest. Further, by adjusting the power ratio between the data symbol and superimposed pilot symbol, the secure capacity region can be established. The user of interest can appropriately select the Forward Error Correction (FEC) code rate, to prevent any possible eavesdropping. In this paper, we present the achievable secure capacity region for multiple antenna system, and verify it via Monte Carlo simulation as well.

Abstract: The ubiquity of wireless devices has created security concerns on the information being transferred. It is critical to protect the secret information in every layer of wireless communication to thwart any type of attacks. A dynamic reconfigurable puncturing based security mechanism, named RePunc, is proposed in this paper to provide an extra level of security at the physical layer. RePunc utilizes the puncturing feature of Forward Error Correction (FEC) to insert the secure information in the punctured positions of the standard information encoded data. The punctured patterns are dynamically changed and passed as a secret key from the sender to the receiver. An eavesdropper will not be able to detect the transmission of the secure information since the inserted secure information will be processed as channel noise by the eavesdropper’s receiver. However, the rightful receiver will be able to successfully decode the secure packets by knowingly differentiating the secure information and the standard information before the FEC decoding. A case study of RePunc implementation for WiFi communication is presented in this paper, showing the extreme high security complexity with low hardware overhead.

Abstract: In this work we describe the implementation details of a protocol suite for a secure and reliable over-the-air reprogramming of wireless restricted devices. Although, recently forward error correction codes aiming at a robust transmission over a noisy wireless medium have extensively been discussed and evaluated, we believe that the clear value of the contribution at hand is to share our experience when it comes to a meaningful combination and implementation of various multihop (broadcast) transmission protocols and custom-fit security building blocks: For a robust and reliable data transmission we make use of fountain codes a.k.a. rateless erasure codes and show how to combine such schemes with an underlying medium access control protocol, namely a distributed low duty cycle medium access control (DLDC-MAC). To handle the well known problem of packet pollution of forward-error-correction approaches where an attacker bogusly modifies or infiltrates some minor number of encoded packets and thus pollutes the whole data stream at the receiver side, we apply homomorphic message authentication codes (HomMAC). We discuss implementation details and the pros and cons of the two currently available HomMAC candidates for our setting. Both require as the core cryptographic primitive a symmetric block cipher for which, as we will argue later, we have opted for the PRESENT, PRIDE and PRINCE (exchangeable) ciphers in our implementation.

Abstract: Uninhabited mistakes while writing happens are unstoppable. There are certain common errors that occur during writing such as missing letters, extra letters, disordered letters, and misspelled letters. These kind of common spelling errors are called phonetics spelling errors. These are of a major concern while dealing with phonetics. Out of various problems that the phoneticians are trying to solve, major portion of it concentrates on varieties of spelling errors. Phonetic structures are greatly emphasized based on the effectiveness, appropriateness and accuracy. In order to keep abreast with the changing and challenging trends of Natural Language Processing (NLP), it is of great importance that one should resolve the problems of spelling errors. To achieve the goal, numerous realistic and practical approaches have to be adopted that make use of spelling correction algorithms such as Edit distance, Habit distance, Soundex and Asoundex. Through the analysis of these algorithms, a new interface is put forward that calculates the Edit distance, thereby showing the overall comparative study of phonetic algorithms with the proposed modified Edit Distance algorithm. The interface computes the Edit distance between two strings in appropriate and intuitive way, contemplating with the comparisons shown in the distance table. The Results show that an average of 0.937 recall and 0.947 precision have been achieved with the F-measure 0.9417. Through these results, it is evident that the recall and F-measures are improved in the proposed Edit-Distance algorithm. The revised version of the edit distance algorithm consistently attains finer quality results in comparison with the traditional edit distance algorithm.

Abstract: Forward error correction (FEC) is a method for error control of data transmission adopted in several mobile multicast standards. FEC is a feedback free error recovery method where the sender introduces redundant data in advance with the source data enabling the recipient to recover from different arbitrary packet losses. Recently, the adoption of FEC error control method has been boosted by the introduction of powerful Application Layer FEC (AL-FEC) codes i.e., RaptorQ codes. Furthermore, several works have emerged aiming to address the efficient application of AL-FEC protection introducing deterministic or randomized online algorithms. The investigation of AL-FEC application as primary or auxiliary error protection method over mobile multicast environments is a well investigated field. However, the opportunity of utilizing the AL-FEC over mobile unicast services as the only method for error control, replacing common feedback based methods that are now considered to be obsolete, is not yet examined. In this work we provide an analysis on the feasibility of AL-FEC protection over unicast delivery utilizing online algorithms on the application of AL-FEC codes with exceptional recovery performance.

Abstract: Video transmission over the heterogeneous networks faces many challenges due to available bandwidth, link delay, frame lost, throughput, reliability, network congestion. In video streaming it is important that the video stream must reach the users within allocated time and also without errors in video frames which leads to packet loss. Hence to avoid the packet loss and to enhance the Packet Delivery Ratio(PDR) and Throughput of the networks a modified Forward Error Correction mechanism was proposed by considering the feedback information (frame count, buffer status, round trip time (RTT)). Simulation results compares the performance in terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput and handover delay under various video packet rate and packet intervals.

Abstract: In an industrial working environment employing multiprocessor communication using UART, noise is likely to affect the data and data may be received with errors. This kind of error occurrence may affect the working of the system resulting in an improper control. Several existing UART designs are incorporating error detection logic. This kind of logic, if detects errors, requires retransmission of corresponding data frames which take additional time for automatic repeat request (ARQ) and retransmission of data. Linear block codes like hamming code have forward error correction (FEC) as well as error detection capability. This paper presents a novel VLSI implementation of UART designed to include (8,4) extended hamming code called SEC-DED code that can correct upto one error and detect up to two errors. This improves the noise immunity of the system optimizing the error free reception of data. The whole design is implemented in Xilinx ISE 12.3 simulator targeted to Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA.

Abstract: Transmission efficiency is an interesting topic for data link layer developers. The overhead of protocols and coding should be reduced to a minimum. This maximizes a link throughput. This is especially important for high-speed networks, where a small degradation of efficiency will degrade the throughput by several Gbps. We describe a redundancy balancing algorithm for an adaptive hybrid automatic repeat request with Reed-Solomon coding. We introduce a testing environment, most important technical issues, and results generated on a field programmable gate array. The hybrid automatic repeat request and Reed-Solomon algorithms are explained. We provide a mathematical description, and a block diagram of the adaptation algorithm. All necessary algorithm simplifications are explained in details. The algorithm can be represented by basic operations in hardware. In most cases, it finds the optimal coding for a predefined bit error rate.

Abstract: We study low-delay streaming codes for erasure channels in point-to-point and multicast scenarios. We consider a sliding window erasure channel which captures the temporal correlation in packet losses observed in real channels. This correlation is often modelled using statistical channels such as Gilbert-Elliott channel. In the point-to-point case, we provide a new class of codes, Embedded Maximum Distance Separable (EMDS) codes, which recovers from channels introducing a mixture of burst and isolated erasures. Moreover, we propose a technique that extends point-to-point codes for the multicast scenario with two receivers that tolerate different delays, T1 and T2. The multicast codes opportunistically decode packets with short delay T1 when the channel is relatively better and with long delay T2 when the channel is worse. Simulations over multicast Gilbert-Elliott channels show that EMDS codes outperform other streaming codes for both users.

Abstract: Underwater sensor networks pose unique challenges to the design of reliable communication. Due to the high bit error rates experienced in this environment, achieving a compromise between reliability and energy efficiency has become a fundamental problem. In this paper, an objective metric to analyze the reliability of various packet transmission methods available for use in underwater sensor networks is developed. Earlier frameworks comparing competing alternatives have made the simplifying assumption that loss rate is homogeneous across the entire network. Such a simplification contradicts the fact that wireless sensor networks exhibit properties such as link asymmetry and are also influenced by phenomenon like radio irregularity. In light of these realities, it is necessary to relax the existing modeling assumptions to produce a more general framework for assessing the various potential solutions. Drawing on concepts from network reliability theory, measures of network system performance are derived. Application of the framework suggests that hop-by-hop forward error correction performs better than end-to-end forward error correction and single-path forwarding.

Abstract: Multimedia content over today’s internet has grown tremendously. Real time streaming of multimedia is becoming more and more important. People rely on online video for entertainment, education and communication purposes. YouTube, video conference, virtual classrooms, etc. are some of the most common applications where real time multimedia over internet has become more and more relevant. Since the end user devices are mostly mobile and use wireless technology, streaming multimedia content wirelessly has become very critical. Wireless, being a broadcast open network, is prone to interference, noise, physical obstructions, multipath fading, jamming, etc. Therefore the Quality of Service (QoS) is not very high in a wireless medium. There should be some techniques to reduce the QoS issues. This paper proposes a system to solve some of the problems that reduce the quality in video transmission. We used duplicating packet and error correction techniques to figure out better QoS performance on the wireless network. The system is simulated using Qualnet. The results show considerable improvements in the QoS parameters.
