However VLC methods are very sensitive to channel noise. The goal of this paper is to salvage as many data from the damaged packets as possible for higher audiovisual quality. This paper proposes an integrated joint source-channel decoder (I-JSCD) at a symbol-level using three-dimensional (3-D) trellis representation for first-order Markov sources encoded with VLC source code and convolutional channel code. This method combines source code and channel code state-spaces and bit-lengths to construct a two-dimensional (2-D) state-space, and then develops a 3-D trellis and a maximum a-posterior (MAP) algorithm to estimate the source sequence symbol by symbol. Experiment results demonstrate that our method results in significant improvement in decoding performance, it can salvage at least half of (50%) data in any channel error rate, and can provide additional error resilience to VLC stream like image, audio, video stream over high error rate links.展开更多

As the compressed speech parameters are highly sensitive to transmission errors, robust source and channel decoding and demodulation schemes are both important and of practical use. In this paper, an it- erative joint souree-channel decoding and demodulation algorithm is proposed for mixed excited linear pre- diction (MELP) vocoder by both exploiting the residual redundancy and passing soft information through- out the receiver while introducing systematic global iteration process to further enhance the performance. Being fully compatible with existing transmitter structure, the proposed algorithm does not introduce addi- tional bandwidth expansion and transmission delay. Simulations show substantial error correcting perfor- mance and synthesized speech quality improvement over conventional separate designed systems in delay and bandwidth constraint channels by using the joint source-channel decoding and demodulation (JSCCM) algorithm.展开更多

文摘Space laser communication(SLC)is an emerging technology to support high-throughput data transmissions in space networks.In this paper,to guarantee the reliability of high-speed SLC links,we aim at practical implementation of low-density paritycheck(LDPC)decoding under resource-restricted space platforms.Particularly,due to the supply restriction and cost issues of high-speed on-board devices such as analog-to-digital converters(ADCs),the input of LDPC decoding will be usually constrained by hard-decision channel output.To tackle this challenge,density-evolution-based theoretical analysis is firstly performed to identify the cause of performance degradation in the conventional binaryinitialized iterative decoding(BIID)algorithm.Then,a computation-efficient decoding algorithm named multiary-initialized iterative decoding with early termination(MIID-ET)is proposed,which improves the error-correcting performance and computation efficiency by using a reliability-based initialization method and a threshold-based decoding termination rule.Finally,numerical simulations are conducted on example codes of rates 7/8 and 1/2 to evaluate the performance of different LDPC decoding algorithms,where the proposed MIID-ET outperforms the BIID with a coding gain of 0.38 dB and variable node calculation saving of 37%.With this advantage,the proposed MIID-ET can notably reduce LDPC decoder’s hardware implementation complexity under the same bit error rate performance,which successfully doubles the total throughput to 10 Gbps on a single-chip FPGA.

文摘To improve the decoding performance of quantum error-correcting codes in asymmetric noise channels,a neural network-based decoding algorithm for bias-tailored quantum codes is proposed.The algorithm consists of a biased noise model,a neural belief propagation decoder,a convolutional optimization layer,and a multi-objective loss function.The biased noise model simulates asymmetric error generation,providing a training dataset for decoding.The neural network,leveraging dynamic weight learning and a multi-objective loss function,mitigates error degeneracy.Additionally,the convolutional optimization layer enhances early-stage convergence efficiency.Numerical results show that for bias-tailored quantum codes,our decoder performs much better than the belief propagation(BP)with ordered statistics decoding(BP+OSD).Our decoder achieves an order of magnitude improvement in the error suppression compared to higher-order BP+OSD.Furthermore,the decoding threshold of our decoder for surface codes reaches a high threshold of 20%.

文摘Realtime speech communications require high efficient compression algorithms to encode speech signals. As the compressed speech parameters are highly sensitive to transmission errors, robust source and channel decoding and demodulation schemes are both important and of practical use. In this paper, an it- erative joint souree-channel decoding and demodulation algorithm is proposed for mixed excited linear pre- diction (MELP) vocoder by both exploiting the residual redundancy and passing soft information through- out the receiver while introducing systematic global iteration process to further enhance the performance. Being fully compatible with existing transmitter structure, the proposed algorithm does not introduce addi- tional bandwidth expansion and transmission delay. Simulations show substantial error correcting perfor- mance and synthesized speech quality improvement over conventional separate designed systems in delay and bandwidth constraint channels by using the joint source-channel decoding and demodulation (JSCCM) algorithm.

文摘Mobile communications are reaching out to every aspect of our daily life,necessitating highefficiency data transmission and support for diverse data types and communication scenarios.Polar codes have emerged as a promising solution due to their outstanding error-correction performance and low complexity.Unequal error protection(UEP)involves nonuniform error safeguarding for distinct data segments,achieving a fine balance between error resilience and resource allocation,which ultimately enhancing system performance and efficiency.In this paper,we propose a novel class of UEP rateless polar codes.The codes are designed based on matrix extension of polar codes,and elegant mapping and duplication operations are designed to achieve UEP property while preserving the overall performance of conventional polar codes.Superior UEP performance is attained without significant modifications to conventional polar codes,making it straightforward for compatibility with existing polar codes.A theoretical analysis is conducted on the block error rate and throughput efficiency performance.To the best of our knowledge,this work provides the first theoretical performance analysis of UEP rateless polar codes.Simulation results show that the proposed codes significantly outperform existing polar coding schemes in both block error rate and throughput efficiency.
文摘Compact size,high brightness,and wide field of view(FOV)are key requirements for long-wave infrared imagers used in military surveillance or night navigation.However,to meet the imaging requirements of high resolution and wide FOV,infrared optical systems often adopt complex optical lens groups,which will increase the size and weight of the optical system.In this paper,a strategy based on wavefront coding(WFC)is proposed to design a compact wide-FOV infrared imager.A cubic phase mask is inserted into the pupil plane of the infrared imager to correct the aberration.The simulated results show that,the WFC infrared imager has good imaging quality in a wide FOV of±16°.In addition,the WFC infrared imager achieves compactness with its 40 mm×40 mm×40 mm size.A fast focal ratio of 1 combined with an entrance pupil diameter of 25 mm ensures brightness.This work is of significance for designing a compact wide-FOV infrared imager.

文摘Differential pulse-position modulation(DP PM)can achieve a good compromise between power and bandwidth requirements.However,the output sequence has undetectable insertions and deletions.This paper proposes a successive cancellation(SC)decoding scheme based on the weighted levenshtein distance(WLD)of polar codes for correcting insertions/deletions in DPPM systems.In this method,the WLD is used to calculate the transfer probabilities recursively to obtain likelihood ratios,and the low-complexity SC decoding method is built according to the error characteristics to match the DPPM system.Additionally,the proposed SC decoding scheme is extended to list decoding,which can further improve error correction performance.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively correct insertions/deletions in the DPPM system,which enhances its reliability and performance.
文摘As artificial Intelligence(AI)continues to expand exponentially,particularly with the emergence of generative pre-trained transformers(GPT)based on a transformer’s architecture,which has revolutionized data processing and enabled significant improvements in various applications.This document seeks to investigate the security vulnerabilities detection in the source code using a range of large language models(LLM).Our primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of Static Application Security Testing(SAST)by applying various techniques such as prompt persona,structure outputs and zero-shot.To the selection of the LLMs(CodeLlama 7B,DeepSeek coder 7B,Gemini 1.5 Flash,Gemini 2.0 Flash,Mistral 7b Instruct,Phi 38b Mini 128K instruct,Qwen 2.5 coder,StartCoder 27B)with comparison and combination with Find Security Bugs.The evaluation method will involve using a selected dataset containing vulnerabilities,and the results to provide insights for different scenarios according to the software criticality(Business critical,non-critical,minimum effort,best effort)In detail,the main objectives of this study are to investigate if large language models outperform or exceed the capabilities of traditional static analysis tools,if the combining LLMs with Static Application Security Testing(SAST)tools lead to an improvement and the possibility that local machine learning models on a normal computer produce reliable results.Summarizing the most important conclusions of the research,it can be said that while it is true that the results have improved depending on the size of the LLM for business-critical software,the best results have been obtained by SAST analysis.This differs in“NonCritical,”“Best Effort,”and“Minimum Effort”scenarios,where the combination of LLM(Gemini)+SAST has obtained better results.

文摘Transformer-based models have significantly advanced binary code similarity detection(BCSD)by leveraging their semantic encoding capabilities for efficient function matching across diverse compilation settings.Although adversarial examples can strategically undermine the accuracy of BCSD models and protect critical code,existing techniques predominantly depend on inserting artificial instructions,which incur high computational costs and offer limited diversity of perturbations.To address these limitations,we propose AIMA,a novel gradient-guided assembly instruction relocation method.Our method decouples the detection model into tokenization,embedding,and encoding layers to enable efficient gradient computation.Since token IDs of instructions are discrete and nondifferentiable,we compute gradients in the continuous embedding space to evaluate the influence of each token.The most critical tokens are identified by calculating the L2 norm of their embedding gradients.We then establish a mapping between instructions and their corresponding tokens to aggregate token-level importance into instructionlevel significance.To maximize adversarial impact,a sliding window algorithm selects the most influential contiguous segments for relocation,ensuring optimal perturbation with minimal length.This approach efficiently locates critical code regions without expensive search operations.The selected segments are relocated outside their original function boundaries via a jump mechanism,which preserves runtime control flow and functionality while introducing“deletion”effects in the static instruction sequence.Extensive experiments show that AIMA reduces similarity scores by up to 35.8%in state-of-the-art BCSD models.When incorporated into training data,it also enhances model robustness,achieving a 5.9%improvement in AUROC.
