Abstract: Disclosed is a method for distributing, installing and operating software-defined radio-based radio application independent of hardware and a user application. The radio application comprises a radio controller code and a user-defined function block code. A radio application package for distributing and installing the radio application includes pipeline component metadata for constituting a pipeline of the radio application. The user-defined function block code may be provided in the form of an execution code, a source code or an intermediate representation, and the radio controller code and the user-defined function block code may call a standard function block. Accordingly, with the configuration of the radio application of the present invention and the method for distributing, installing and operating the radio application according to the present invention, various wireless communication systems can be used independently of a modem chip just by downloading and installing the radio application.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a software-defined radio terminal apparatus is a software-defined radio terminal apparatus which is adaptively constituted based on radio applications, and may comprise a storage unit, a microprocessor, and a baseband accelerator. The microprocessor reads, from the storage unit, a code, including a radio controller layer and a baseband driver layer, and executes the code, wherein the radio controller layer delivers a control command for controlling the baseband accelerator and information to be transmitted, from an upper layer to the baseband accelerator, and delivers the information received from the baseband accelerator to the upper layer, wherein the baseband driver layer provides interface between the radio controller layer and the baseband accelerator.

Abstract: A system and method of performing a high speed filtering of data by using a GPU is disclosed. According to embodiments of the present invention, the system and method of processing data by using a graphic processing unit (GPU) including a video memory comprising multiple blocks, comprises: acquiring an image frame including a plurality of pixels representative of a target object; receiving a user input for processing the image frame; grouping each predetermined number of the pixels of the image frame into a group; uploading each of the groups to a respective block of the video memory; and performing operations on the groups uploaded to the video memory based on the user input.

Abstract: An instrument-playing portable communication device is provided. The device includes an instrument-playing key unit having one or more keys, provided on a body of the instrument-playing portable communication device. When a user selects a chord of a selected instrument by pressing at least one of the one or more keys, the instrument-playing key unit converts the at least one key press into a first signal. The device also includes a sensor unit mounted in the body, for sensing a motion of a user. When the user presses the at least one of the one or more keys and moves in a location near the sensor unit, the sensor unit senses a motion of the user and converts the motion into a second signal. The device further includes a controller for receiving the first signal from the instrument-playing key unit and the second signal from the sensor unit, generating a tone frequency of the selected instrument based on the received signals, and converting the tone frequency into a tone.

Abstract: A BC-mode image with an improved frame rate in an ultrasound system is formed. A transmit/receive unit forms first and second receive signals responsive to first and second control signals. An image processing unit is configured to form a B-mode image and a C-mode image based the first and second receive signals and to combine them to form a BC-mode image. The control signal generates a third control signal for a B-mode scan along scan lines, which are not within the color box to form third receive signals. The control unit repeatedly generates the second and third control signals. The image processing unit is further operable to form a B-mode image based on the third receive signals and the second signals.

An image processing unit is configured to form a B-mode image and a C-mode image based the first and second receive signals and to combine them to form a BC-mode image. A control unit is configured to divide scan lines into a plurality of scan line groups and to generate a third control signal for alternately selecting one of the scan line groups for a B-mode scan for forming scan line group receive signals. The control unit repeatedly generates the second and third control signals. The image processing unit is configured to update the first receive signals with the scan line group receive signals and form a B-mode image based on the updated first receive signals.
