Blind Detection of LSB Steganography in Grayscale Images

There are many detectors for the least significant bit(LSB)steganography which is broadly used in hiding information in the digital images.The length of the hidden information is one of the most important parameters in detecting steganographic information.Using 2-D gradient of a pixel and the distance between variables the proposed method gives the length of hidden information in natural grayscale images without original image.Extensive experimental results show good performance even at low embedding rate compared with other methods.Furthermore,the proposed method also works well disregarding the status of the embedded information.     

A New Traffic Model for Mobile Wireless Networks

A new traffic model for mobile wireless networks was given and analysed. In the model, it is considered of traffic characteristic for two special periods of time. A pre-emptive priority scheme combined with channel borrowing strategy according to the speciality was proposed. All the channels can be used by non-real-time services, and real-time services are given higher priority for they are allowed to pre-empt channels used by non-real-time services. Either real-time handoff requests or non-real-time handoff requests can be queued in queues when there is no channel can be used. Some channels are reserved for real-time handoff requests, which can also be used by non-real-time service when they are idle. Simulation results are also given. It is seen that our scheme performs better than other schemes when the arrival rate of real-time services is much higher than non-real-time services.     

Watermark in the digital video broadcasting handheld transmission signal

Transmitter identification (TxID) technique is used to diagnose the operation status of radio trans-mitters in DTV distributed transmission network. A new TxID method for digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) system is proposed. Watermark is embedded in the DVB-H signal to form the composite signal. Ac-cording to watermarking theory we demonstrate the required signal level for watermarking signal to achieve given bit error Probability under different circumstance. By selecting the reference pattern to generate watermarking signal, peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal can be improved. Simulation results show that even in wireless situation the receiver can distinguish the watermarking signal with low embedding strength, and distortion to the host signal can also be ignored.     

Robust ergodic rate transmission for time division duplex beamforming systems

In time division duplex(TDD)beamforming systems,the base station estimates the channel state information(CSI)at transmitter based on uplink pilots and then uses it to generate the beamforming vector in the downlink transmission.Because of the constraints of the TDD frame structure and the uplink pilot overhead,there inevitably exists CSI delay and channel estimation error between CSI estimation and downlink transmission channel,which would degrade system ergodic rate.In this paper,we propose a robust ergodic rate transmission scheme,in which the uplink pilot time interval(UPTI)of an active user is adaptively adjusted according to the changing channel conditions such as Doppler frequency shift,uplink pilot signal to noise ratio(SNR),to minimize the impact of CSI delay and channel estimation error on the ergodic rate of TDD beamforming systems.In order to get the optimal UPTI,we first derive the average post-processing SNR for TDD beamforming systems with channel estimation error and CSI delay.We then obtain the optimal UPTI,which maximizes the average post-processing SNR,given the normalized pilot overhead(the number of pilot symbols per data symbol).The numerical simulation results validate that the the proposed robust ergodic rate transmission scheme not only maximizes the average post-processing SNR but also maximizes the system ergodic rate.Moreover,the scheme can adapt well to the changing channel environments compared with the current fixed UPTI scheme.Especially our research is valuable for the uplink sounding reference signal design in long term evolution advanced(LTEAdvanced)system.     

Joint dirty paper coding and linear receiver design for multiuser MIMO broadcast channels

A multiuser multiple input multiple output （MIMO） broadcast scheme was proposed through applying dirty paper coding （DPC） at the transmitter and linear equalization at the receiver. Assuming single data stream communication for each user, joint transmitter and linear receiver design were done to enhance the system performance. Furthermore, a multiuser scheduling algorithm was presented to exploit multiuser diversity when the number of the users is larger than that of transmit antennas. The proposed system achieves the sum rate close to the Sato bound and is superior to some of the existing schemes.

Two States CBR Modeling of Data Source in Dynamic Traffic Monitoring Sensor Networks

Real traffic information was analyzed in the statistical characteristics and approximated as a Gaussian time series. A data source model, called two states constant bit rate (TSCBR), was proposed in dynamic traffic monitoring sensor networks. Analysis of autocorrelation of the models shows that the proposed TSCBR model matches with the statistical characteristics of real data source closely. To further verify the validity of the TSCBR data source model, the performance metrics of power consumption and network lifetime was studied in the evaluation of sensor media access control (SMAC) algorithm. The simulation results show that compared with traditional data source models, TSCBR model can significantly improve accuracy of the algorithm evaluation.     

Lattice reduction aided MMSE Tomlinson-Harashima precoding based on VBLAST algorithm for MIMO systems

A lattice reduction aided （LRA） minimum mean square error （MMSE） Tomlinson-Harashima precoding （THP） was proposed based on vertical Bell Labs layered space time （VBLAST） algorithm for multiple input multiple output （MIMO） systems. The extended channel was used to provide optimal tradeoff between residual interference and noise amplification. The processing based on lattice reduction method helps achieve maximal diversity order. The VBLAST algorithm was applied to get the optimal processing ordering for successive interference cancellation （SIC） at transmitter. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional THP and the LRA zero-forcing （ZF） THP with full diversity order.     

Lattice-basis reduction precoding based on successive interference cancellation design for multiuser MIMO downlink system

Two kinds of lattice-basis reduction precoding schemes based on successive interference cancellation are proposed. The successive interference cancellation (SIC) structure can be obtained by either orthogonal and a right triangular matrix (QR) decomposition, or the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space Time (VBLAST) algorithm which provides optimal user ordering. Moreover, the extended channel approach is applied to the proposed SICbased schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can achieve comparable BER performance to vector precoding (VP).     

A Distributed Virtual Backbone Formation for Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

The virtual backbone is an approach for solving routing problems in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. A connected dominating set (CDS) was proposed as a virtual backbone to improve the performance of wireless networks. The quality of a virtual backbone is measured not only by approximation factor, which is the ratio of its size to that of minimum CDS, but also time complexity and message complexity. In this paper, a distributed algorithm is presented to construct a minimum CDS for ad hoc and sensor networks. By destroying triangular loops in the virtual backbone, the proposed algorithm can effectively construct a CDS with smaller size. Moreover, our algorithm, which is fully localized, has a constant approximation ratio, linear message and time complexity, and low implementation complexity. The simulation results and theoretical analysis show that our algorithm has better efficiency and performance than conventional approaches.
