  • Publication number: 20090076789
    Abstract: A pre-verifying method for software/hardware design of a communication system includes simulating a process of sending a data frame from a transmitter to a receiver with a transceiver algorithm meeting a preset specification for obtaining simulation parameters. A transmitter hardware platform sends the data frame via an antenna. A receiver hardware platform receives an echo signal of the data frame and compares each parameter of the echo signal with the simulation parameters. The comparison result of various parameters of the echo signal and the simulation parameters is verified to be in a desired range or not. When the comparison result is not in the desired range, the transceiver algorithm is adjusted. When the comparison result is in the desired range, the transceiver algorithm is converted to a hardware program language format to be written in a programmable module to perform the action of the transmitter and the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20090074310
    Abstract: An image data compression method is disclosed. Firstly, check a variance between a first image data and a second image data for comparing the variance with a threshold value. When the variance is smaller than a threshold value, compare the first image data with the second image data to generate a motion vector and compress the motion vector. Then calculate the first image data and the second image data according to the motion vector so as to get an offset value of the motion vector. Next, encode the offset value of the motion vector, compress the offset value of the motion vector, and encode as well as compress the first image data. Thus the compression ratio is improved and image distortion is avoided.
