The conventional method of retransmitting lost information during transmission, commonly used in data transmission protocols, increases transmission delay and consumes excessive bandwidth. To overcome this issue, forward error correction techniques, e.g., Random Linear Network Coding(RLNC) can be used in data transmission. The primary challenge in RLNC-based methodologies is sustaining a consistent coding ratio during data transmission, leading to notable bandwidth usage and transmission delay in dynamic network conditions. Therefore, this study proposes a new block-based RLNC strategy known as Adjustable RLNC(ARLNC), which dynamically adjusts the coding ratio and transmission window during runtime based on the estimated network error rate calculated via receiver feedback. The calculations in this approach are performed using a Galois field with the order of 256. Furthermore, we assessed ARLNC's performance by subjecting it to various error models such as Gilbert Elliott, exponential, and constant rates and compared it with the standard RLNC. The results show that dynamically adjusting the coding ratio and transmission window size based on network conditions significantly enhances network throughput and reduces total transmission delay in most scenarios. In contrast to the conventional RLNC method employing a fixed coding ratio, the presented approach has demonstrated significant enhancements, resulting in a 73% decrease in transmission delay and a 4 times augmentation in throughput. However, in dynamic computational environments, ARLNC generally incurs higher computational costs than the standard RLNC but excels in high-performance networks.展开更多

文摘Action recognition,a fundamental task in the field of video understanding,has been extensively researched and applied.In contrast to an image,a video introduces an extra temporal dimension.However,many existing action recognition networks either perform simple temporal fusion through averaging or rely on pre-trained models from image recognition,resulting in limited temporal information extraction capabilities.This work proposes a highly efficient temporal decoding module that can be seamlessly integrated into any action recognition backbone network to enhance the focus on temporal relationships between video frames.Firstly,the decoder initializes a set of learnable queries,termed video-level action category prediction queries.Then,they are combined with the video frame features extracted by the backbone network after self-attention learning to extract video context information.Finally,these prediction queries with rich temporal features are used for category prediction.Experimental results on HMDB51,MSRDailyAct3D,Diving48 and Breakfast datasets show that using TokShift-Transformer and VideoMAE as encoders results in a significant improvement in Top-1 accuracy compared to the original models(TokShift-Transformer and VideoMAE),after introducing the proposed temporal decoder.The introduction of the temporal decoder results in an average performance increase exceeding 11%for TokShift-Transformer and nearly 5%for VideoMAE across the four datasets.Furthermore,the work explores the combination of the decoder with various action recognition networks,including Timesformer,as encoders.This results in an average accuracy improvement of more than 3.5%on the HMDB51 dataset.The code is available at https://github.com/huangturbo/TempDecoder.

文摘Among the four candidate algorithms in the fourth round of NIST standardization,the BIKE(Bit Flipping Key Encapsulation)scheme has a small key size and high efficiency,showing good prospects for application.However,the BIKE scheme based on QC-MDPC(Quasi Cyclic Medium Density Parity Check)codes still faces challenges such as the GJS attack and weak key attacks targeting the decoding failure rate(DFR).This paper analyzes the BGF decoding algorithm of the BIKE scheme,revealing two deep factors that lead to DFR,and proposes a weak key optimization attack method for the BGF decoding algorithm based on these two factors.The proposed method constructs a new weak key set,and experiment results eventually indicate that,considering BIKE’s parameter set targeting 128-bit security,the average decryption failure rate is lowerly bounded by.This result not only highlights a significant vulnerability in the BIKE scheme but also provides valuable insights for future improvements in its design.By addressing these weaknesses,the robustness of QC-MDPC code-based cryptographic systems can be enhanced,paving the way for more secure post-quantum cryptographic solutions.

文摘A broadband polarization-independent terahertz multifunctional coding metasurface based on topological optimization using liquid crystal(LC)is proposed.The metasurface can achieve reconfigurability for beam steering and vortex beam generation within a frequency range of 0.68 THz–0.72 THz.Firstly,the metasurface unit is topologically optimized using the non-dominant sequencing genetic algorithms(NSGA-II)multi-objective optimization algorithm.By applying the LC’s electrically tunable refractive index properties,the metasurface unit enables polarization-independent 2-bit coding within a frequency range of 0.68 THz–0.72 THz.Then,based on the designed metasurface unit,the array arrangement of the metasurface is reverse-designed to achieve beam steering and vortex beam generation.The results show that,for beam steering,not only can polarization-independent steering of both single-and multi-beam be achieved within the 35°elevation angle range,but also independent control of the target angle of each beam in the multi-beam steering.For vortex beam generation,the metasurfaces can achieve the generation of single-and multi-vortex beams with topological charges l=±1,±2 within the 35elevation angle range,and the generation angles of each vortex beam in the multi-vortex beam can be independently controlled.This provides flexibility and diversity in the generation of vortex beams.Therefore,the proposed terahertz LC metasurface can realize flexible control of reconfigurable functions and has certain application prospects in terahertz communication,phased array radar,and vortex radar.

文摘Digital watermarking must balance imperceptibility,robustness,complexity,and security.To address the challenge of computational efficiency in trellis-based informed embedding,we propose a modified watermarking framework that integrates fuzzy c-means(FCM)clustering into the generation off block codewords for labeling trellis arcs.The system incorporates a parallel trellis structure,controllable embedding parameters,and a novel informed embedding algorithm with reduced complexity.Two types of embedding schemes—memoryless and memory-based—are designed to flexibly trade-off between imperceptibility and robustness.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in bit error rate(BER)and computational complexity under various attacks,including additive noise,filtering,JPEG compression,cropping,and rotation.The integration of FCM enhances robustness by increasing the codeword distance,while preserving perceptual quality.Overall,the proposed framework is suitable for real-time and secure watermarking applications.

文摘To address the contradiction between the explosive growth of wireless data and the limited spectrum resources,semantic communication has been emerging as a promising communication paradigm.In this paper,we thus design a speech semantic coded communication system,referred to as Deep-STS(i.e.,Deep-learning based Speech To Speech),for the lowbandwidth speech communication.Specifically,we first deeply compress the speech data through extracting the textual information from the speech based on the conformer encoder and connectionist temporal classification decoder at the transmitter side of Deep-STS system.In order to facilitate the final speech timbre recovery,we also extract the short-term timbre feature of speech signals only for the starting 2s duration by the long short-term memory network.Then,the Reed-Solomon coding and hybrid automatic repeat request protocol are applied to improve the reliability of transmitting the extracted text and timbre feature over the wireless channel.Third,we reconstruct the speech signal by the mel spectrogram prediction network and vocoder,when the extracted text is received along with the timbre feature at the receiver of Deep-STS system.Finally,we develop the demo system based on the USRP and GNU radio for the performance evaluation of Deep-STS.Numerical results show that the ac-Received:Jan.17,2024 Revised:Jun.12,2024 Editor:Niu Kai curacy of text extraction approaches 95%,and the mel cepstral distortion between the recovered speech signal and the original one in the spectrum domain is less than 10.Furthermore,the experimental results show that the proposed Deep-STS system can reduce the total delay of speech communication by 85%on average compared to the G.723 coding at the transmission rate of 5.4 kbps.More importantly,the coding rate of the proposed Deep-STS system is extremely low,only 0.2 kbps for continuous speech communication.It is worth noting that the Deep-STS with lower coding rate can support the low-zero-power speech communication,unveiling a new era in ultra-efficient coded communications.

文摘A novel dual-branch decoding fusion convolutional neural network model(DDFNet)specifically designed for real-time salient object detection(SOD)on steel surfaces is proposed.DDFNet is based on a standard encoder–decoder architecture.DDFNet integrates three key innovations:first,we introduce a novel,lightweight multi-scale progressive aggregation residual network that effectively suppresses background interference and refines defect details,enabling efficient salient feature extraction.Then,we propose an innovative dual-branch decoding fusion structure,comprising the refined defect representation branch and the enhanced defect representation branch,which enhance accuracy in defect region identification and feature representation.Additionally,to further improve the detection of small and complex defects,we incorporate a multi-scale attention fusion module.Experimental results on the public ESDIs-SOD dataset show that DDFNet,with only 3.69 million parameters,achieves detection performance comparable to current state-of-the-art models,demonstrating its potential for real-time industrial applications.Furthermore,our DDFNet-L variant consistently outperforms leading methods in detection performance.The code is available at https://github.com/13140W/DDFNet.

文摘In-loop filters have been comprehensively explored during the development of video coding standards due to their remarkable noise-reduction capabilities.In the early stage of video coding,in-loop filters,such as the deblocking filter,sample adaptive offset,and adaptive loop filter,were performed separately for each component.Recently,cross-component filters have been studied to improve chroma fidelity by exploiting correlations between the luma and chroma channels.This paper introduces the cross-component filters used in the state-ofthe-art video coding standards,including the cross-component adaptive loop filter and cross-component sample adaptive offset.Crosscomponent filters aim to reduce compression artifacts based on the correlation between different components and provide more accurate pixel reconstruction values.We present their origin,development,and status in the current video coding standards.Finally,we conduct discussions on the further evolution of cross-component filters.

文摘In mobile computing environments, most IoT devices connected to networks experience variable error rates and possess limited bandwidth. The conventional method of retransmitting lost information during transmission, commonly used in data transmission protocols, increases transmission delay and consumes excessive bandwidth. To overcome this issue, forward error correction techniques, e.g., Random Linear Network Coding(RLNC) can be used in data transmission. The primary challenge in RLNC-based methodologies is sustaining a consistent coding ratio during data transmission, leading to notable bandwidth usage and transmission delay in dynamic network conditions. Therefore, this study proposes a new block-based RLNC strategy known as Adjustable RLNC(ARLNC), which dynamically adjusts the coding ratio and transmission window during runtime based on the estimated network error rate calculated via receiver feedback. The calculations in this approach are performed using a Galois field with the order of 256. Furthermore, we assessed ARLNC's performance by subjecting it to various error models such as Gilbert Elliott, exponential, and constant rates and compared it with the standard RLNC. The results show that dynamically adjusting the coding ratio and transmission window size based on network conditions significantly enhances network throughput and reduces total transmission delay in most scenarios. In contrast to the conventional RLNC method employing a fixed coding ratio, the presented approach has demonstrated significant enhancements, resulting in a 73% decrease in transmission delay and a 4 times augmentation in throughput. However, in dynamic computational environments, ARLNC generally incurs higher computational costs than the standard RLNC but excels in high-performance networks.

文摘Increasing research has focused on semantic communication,the goal of which is to convey accurately the meaning instead of transmitting symbols from the sender to the receiver.In this paper,we design a novel encoding and decoding semantic communication framework,which adopts the semantic information and the contextual correlations between items to optimize the performance of a communication system over various channels.On the sender side,the average semantic loss caused by the wrong detection is defined,and a semantic source encoding strategy is developed to minimize the average semantic loss.To further improve communication reliability,a decoding strategy that utilizes the semantic and the context information to recover messages is proposed in the receiver.Extensive simulation results validate the superior performance of our strategies over state-of-the-art semantic coding and decoding policies on different communication channels.
