Provided are a method and apparatus for enhancing coding efficiency by performing encoding and decoding by optimally calculating quantization intervals and reconstruction values through a distribution of DCT coefficients of each frame, when DCT coefficients of each SNR enhancement layer are quantized in scalable video coding. The encoding apparatus includes: an R-D optimization unit performing Rate-Distortion (R-D) optimization based on a distribution of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients each slice and calculating a first reference value and a second reference value respectively indicating a start point and an end point of DCT coefficients quantized to “0”; a quantization interval setting unit setting adaptive quantization intervals on the basis of a minimum value and a maximum value of the DCT coefficients, the first reference value, and the second reference value; and a mapping unit mapping the DCT coefficients to the adaptive quantization intervals.
摘要:
A handoff method is provided in a communication network including a plurality of fixed nodes attached to a router connected to at least one external network, and at least one mobile node associated with a current fixed node. The method detects movement of a mobile node; prepares a handoff of the mobile node from a current fixed node to potential fixed nodes upon detecting movement of the mobile node; decides whether to handoff to one of the potential fixed nodes as a target fixed node; and performs the handoff from the current fixed node to the target fixed node. The handoff method enables the mobile station to quickly move its association from one access point to another by minimizing a probe delay which is a primary contributor to handoff delay.
