Virtual Microphone Control (ViMiC) is a real-time multichannel spatial sound rendering technique based on sound recording principles. In an auditory virtual environment, ViMiC simulates multichannel microphone techniques, resulting in the characteristic Inter-Channel Time Differences (ICTD) and Inter-Channel Level Differences (ICLD) to create the spatial image of a sound scene. When virtual sou...

Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding – a particular case of distributed video coding (DVC) – is a new video coding paradigm based on two major Information Theory results: the Slepian-Wolf and Wyner-Ziv theorems. Most of the solutions available in the literature, model the correlation noise between the original frame and the so-called side information by virtual channel. However most of the DVC solutions...

Broadcast-based information dissemination systems on the Internet are becoming increasingly popular due to advances in the area of Web technology and information delivery. In this paper, we propose a concept and a way to construct a virtual TV channel, which is a user-deened (virtual) channel from existing push-based Internet channels. Our virtual TV channel is (1) to lter contents of multiple ...

The performance of current virtual acoustic systems is highly sensitive to the geometry of individual ear at high frequencies. The objective of this paper is to study a virtual acoustic system which may not be sensitive to individual ear shape. The incident sound field around ear is reproduced by using a multi-channel headphone. The results of computer simulations show that the desired sound pr...

Spatial multiplexing techniques send independent data streams on different transmit antennas to maximally exploit the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels. Most existing multiplexing techniques are based on an idealized MIMO channel model representing a rich scattering environment. Realistic channels corresponding to scattering clusters exhibit correlated fading and...

Accurate and tractable channel modeling is critical to realizing the full potential of antenna arrays in wireless communications. In this paper we propose a framework for modeling multi-antenna multipath channels based on the notion of virtual spatial angles. The virtual angles are xed a priori and are determined by the number of antennas at the transmitter and receiver and the spacing between ...

Recent and upcoming CSMA/CA based MAC protocols for wireless LANs offer block-acknowledgement or aggregated frame exchange in order to provide high data rate for multimedia and real-time data, while all of them avoid collisions by exclusive use of wireless medium that block neighboring nodes of both sender and receiver from participating in concurrent transmission; and thus downgrade medium uti...

This paper introduces a router delay model that accurately models key aspects of modern routers. The model accounts for the pipelined nature of contemporary routers, the specific flow control method employed, the delay of the flowcontrol credit path, and the sharing of crossbar ports across virtual channels. Motivated by this model, we introduce a microarchitecture for a speculative virtual-cha...
