The adoption of 35 prediction modes and quad-tree structure in intra coding of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) significantly improves the coding efficiency. In this paper, a highly pipelined 16-pixel parallel VLSI architecture of intra prediction in HEVC encoder is proposed, supporting all prediction modes and all block sizes. Original pixels are used to help to decide prediction mode and block partition in the premise of negligible PSNR degradation, and a universal predictor is presented. In order to reduce internal buffers when scanning full-mode and full-size predictions in encoder, post-order traversal is applied to the quad-tree structure blocks. It takes 8967 cycles to complete the intra prediction of a whole 32×32 treeblock, including prediction and the decision of mode and block partition. This design is synthesized with TSMC 65nm CMOS technology. It can run at 600 MHz, supporting real-time encoding of 1080P@30fps video sequence.

The IEEE 802.15.6-2012 standard optimized for short-range/low power purpose for WBAN applications has been approved recently. Based on the standard, this paper proposes the hardware implementation of the baseband transmitter for the first time. In our design, the physical layer (PHY) employs narrowband(NB) PHY in the standard and DPSK Modulator is optimized by employing CSD-coded (canonical signed digit) filters for low power and area-efficiency consideration. Clock gating is also implemented to cut the dynamic power in the idle state. Implemented in 130nm CMOS technology, the least total power dissipation of the transmitter is only 69.5uW at 151.8kbps and 1.0V supply in the Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS) band. In addition, The power consumption of the PHY module under different frequency bands and different data rates is investigated. The minimum energy-per-bit is only 10.1pJ/bit at 971.4kbps indicating that our PHY module is more energy-efficient than previous works.

The fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is a key operation in digital signal processing (DSP) systems and has been studied intensively to improve the performance. Nowadays, embedded DSP systems require low energy consumption to prolong the life cycle, which raises stringent power limitation for FFT processing. Meanwhile, sufficient signal-to-quantization-noise ratio (SQNR) is a basic requirement in these systems. In this paper, a modified data scaling scheme as well as trounding method is employed to improve the SQNR performance. Therefore word-length can be reduced and energy is saved accordingly. Memory-based architecture is chosen to support variable-length FFT processing. Also, constant multiplier array is introduced in the datapath to reduce the power dissipation with a slight increase of area. The proposed processor can perform 64-8192-point FFT processing. The core area is 2.29 mm 2 and the power consumption is 67.9 mW at 100MHz. Besides, the SQNR of 55.4 dB and 33.3 dB are achieved for 64-point and 8192-point FFT respectively.

Along with the degradation of the body function, the elderly are more likely to fall accidentally. And if they don't get timely and effective help, severe consequences may take place, even to death. Traditional medical monitoring equipment are bulk and not convenient to carry, difficult to achieve real-time monitoring of anytime and anywhere. This article designs a positionable wearable fall detection system based on GSM, GPS and ZigBee, using tri-axis acceleration as monitoring objects, transmitted by ZigBee, positioned by GPS, using GSM to send position and alarm short messages, fall action judged by PC using a fall detection algorithm which can distinguish falling down and daily activities.

This paper presents an implementation of turbo decoder in LTE downlink system on a multi-core processor platform. Turbo code, also called Parallel Concatenated Convolutional Code (PCCC) is used for LTE system [1] for its good error correcting ability and anti-interference ability [2]. As the wireless communication is developing constantly, it turns to be more difficult for asic baseband processing solutions to adapt the rapidly changing communication standards. The multi-core processor platform, a mesh array of SIMD cores, is well suited for wireless communication applications due to its programmability and re-configurability. We realize a turbo decoder with the throughput of 46Mbps by deeply excavating the task-level pipelining and data-level parallelism on multi-core processor platform.

As an approximation to the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Integer Cosine Transform (ICT) is widely used in latest video coding standards, such as H.264/AVC, VC-1 and AVS. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), the next generation of video compression standard, adopts 4/8/16/32 integer transform. Since the size of matrices themselves and the numerical magnitude of matrix elements are very large, HEVC transform suffers from huge computational complexity. To alleviate this problem, we proposed a fast algorithm for order-8 integer transform for HEVC. This algorithm has 66% less multiplications and 46% less additions than direct method and saves 60% area for hardware implementation. It is illustrated by signal-flow graph, which is easy to be translated to hardware or software implementation.

A CMOS fully differential high gain-bandwidth (GBW) operational amplifier applied in a sample-and-hold (S&H) circuit is presented in the paper. High bandwidth and phase margin of the amplifier are obtained by combining two compensation techniques: Miller compensation and Feedforward compensation. In addition, in order to achieve a high gain, the gain-boosting technique is employed. The circuit is designed in SMIC 65 nm process consuming 47.25 mW at a 1.2 V power supply and is suitable for 12-bit 200-MS/s pipelined ADC applications. At 200 MS/s, the S&H circuit achieves 77.68 dB SNDR for an input of 92.38 MHz.
