A method of securing bus architecture from a Trojan attack. A restricted address access detector generates an unauthorized access detection signal when a master ID signal is within a restricted range. The unauthorized access detection signal disables the requested slave select signal, and the address decoder instead outputs a default slave select signal. A counter determines the duration of a lock signal from a master, and a comparator activates a malicious bus lock signal if the lock signal duration exceeds a threshold. The master mask register forcibly gates the lock signal upon receipt of the malicious bus lock signal. If the duration of a wait request from a slave exceeds a maximum duration register value, a comparator activates a malicious wait detection signal to disable the wait request signal. The method might include storing identifying information about the malicious master and storing a slave ID corresponding to the malicious slave.

Trojan-resistant bus architecture and methods

A video coding-decoding (CODEC) method in an error resilient mode, a computer readable medium having a computer program for the video CODEC method, and a video CODEC apparatus. The video CODEC method provides more resilience against channel error such that communications are less affected by error under conditions in which errors are a serious problem such as in a wireless communications channel. In the video CODEC method, a header data part (HDP) bit region, a motion vector data part (MVDP) bit region and a discrete cosine transform data part (DDP) bit regions are partitioned from each macro block of the video data in an error resilient mode, and then the partitioned bit regions are variable-length-coded. Then, the bit regions selected from the variable-length coded bit regions according to a predetermined priority for recovery are reversible-variable-length-coded, and markers are then inserted into the variable-length coded or reversible-variable-length-coded bit regions.

Video codec method in error resilient mode and apparatus therefor

An error protection method for multimedia improves data recovery and channel throughput in channels which cause a random error and a burst error by using a rate compatible punctured convolutional code (RCPC) and an automatic retransmission on request (ARQ). In a process of decoding a plurality of packets of given information, the error protection method includes the steps of a) decoding one of the plurality of packets, b) decoding another packet when an error occurs during the decoding in step a), c) decoding a combination of the packets from steps a) and b) or a third packet when an error occurs in step b), and d) repeating step c) until the decoding error no longer occurs. The error protection method has the characteristics of both Type-1 and Type-2 ARQ methods. Therefore, one can obtain constant channel throughput in a channel containing burst errors, a channel containing random errors, and a channel in which the two types of error patterns coexist simultaneously.

Error prevention method for multimedia data

A motion vector prediction method in an error resilient mode. In the motion vector prediction method capable of decoding backwards, motion vectors of macro blocks are calculated, and motion vectors of macro blocks each having one motion vector are predicted while moving to another macro block from left to right, and motion vectors of macro blocks each having four motion vectors are continuously predicted in a predetermined sequence to have correlation in prediction of the four motion vectors. Thus, in the motion vector prediction method based on the image signal compression method of the MPEG-4 or H.263 standard, the motion vector prediction is performed with continuity and correlation among the motion vectors, so that two-way decoding is possible during transmission of blocks with a predetermined packet, resulting in better error resilient characteristics.

Motion vector prediction method

The present invention includes a technique for updating messages that originate at the constraint nodes of bi-partite graphs in Low Density Parity Check codes. The technique computes only two outgoing magnitudes at each constraint node and exhibits no measurable performance loss as compared to exact belief propagation which computes a unique magnitude for each departing edge from a given constraint node. The technique eliminates the need for memory based table look-up in the constraint node processing and has been implemented, in one embodiment, using only shift, add, and comparison operations.

Decoding low density parity codes

A method of representing encoding or non-encoding by extending a video information field of a block when coding video information, is provided. The method of representing encoding or non-encoding by extending an information field for representing encoding or non-encoding is applied to an error allowable mode. Also, the amount of bits depending on the characteristics of video information to be encoded can be reduced. In this method, an image is encoded by extending a code (COD) field which is used in H.263 and MPEG-4 to indicate the cases where neither a motion vector (MV) nor a discrete cosine transform (DCT) value are encoded, where both the MV and the DCT value are encoded, and where only the MV is encoded. Therefore, in a channel with errors, the extended OCD field can be used in the error allowable mode. Also, video information can be encoded using a smaller amount of bits where the motion of an image is constant, than in the conventional art.

Method for representing encoding upon coding information

A multiplexing method for multimedia communication is provided, which is compatible with the H.223 protocol by changing a header of a multiplex protocol data unit (MUX-PDU). The multiplexing method includes the steps of encoding media data, and multiplexing the media data encoded in the step (a) in units of a predetermined frame, and inserting a second flag having a predetermined length with an auto-correlation into the frame after a first flag representing the opening and closing of the frame. Therefore, the probability of detecting the MUX-PDU by a receiver is increased by adding a flag having a high auto-correlation to the H. 223 MUX-PDU frame, thereby increasing error-resiliency.

Also, information can be more precise recovered by inserting length identifier and length information on an information region into the header.
