Disclosed is a motion estimation apparatus and method capable of reduce a memory bandwidth by accessing reference image data occupying the largest part of the memory bandwidth based on a result of motion estimation skip determination. The motion estimation apparatus includes a motion estimation skip determination unit, a sum absolute of absolute difference (SAD) processing unit and a multiplexer (MUX) unit. The motion estimation skip determination unit determines the presence of motion estimation skip by reading current image data and skip reference image data, and outputs a motion vector in a skip mode. The SAD processing unit calculates an SAD value by reading the current image data and reference image data and outputs a motion vector in a normal mode. The MUX unit outputs the motion vector in the skip mode or the motion vector in the normal mode as a final motion vector based on a skip flag signal.

The DPE includes: a memory routing unit (MRU) comprising a shared memory page shared by the DPE and DPEs that are adjacent to the DPE, and a shared page switch selectively connecting the shared memory page to the DPE and the adjacent DPEs; and a data processing unit (DPU) comprising a virtual page for connecting the DPU to the shared memory page, and a dynamic remapper assigning the shared memory page to a DPE according to conditions that a series of tasks for processing multimedia data are performed in the DPE and the adjacent DPEs, and controlling the shared page switch according to the assigning. Accordingly, multimedia data can be efficiently processed in parallel by mapping a temporal and directional shared memory between DPEs.

Disclosed are a frame synchronization method and a receiver for a communication modem using the same. The frame synchronization method includes performing a correlation operation between a reception data stream and a preamble to output a synchronous signal; and computing correlation values between spreading codes and a reception data stream synchronized with the synchronous signal, wherein a maximum value of the computed correlation values is compared with a preset threshold value, and the outputting of the synchronous signal is performed again when the maximum value is smaller than the preset threshold value.

Provided is an adaptive motion search range determining apparatus and method for encoding UHD-class high-resolution images. The adaptive motion search range determining apparatus includes an MVD average/standard deviation calculation unit calculating an value average and a standard deviation of MVDs of neighboring macroblocks of a current macroblock, and a motion search range determination unit determining a motion search range of the current macroblock using the value average and the standard deviation. According to the adaptive motion search range determining apparatus, it is possible to enable each macroblock to have an adaptive search range by variably adjusting a motion vector search range of a current macroblock with reference to motion vectors of neighboring macroblocks of the current macroblock.
