Sampling and Reconstruction of Bandlimited Signals with Multi-Channel Time Encoding

Martin Vetterli, Karen Adam, Adam James Scholefield

Sampling is classically performed by recording the amplitude of the input at given time instants; however, sampling and reconstructing a signal using multiple devices in parallel becomes a more difficult problem to solve when the devices have an unknown sh ...

Delay-Power-Rate-Distortion Optimization of Video Representations for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni, Chenglin Li

Dynamic adaptive streaming addresses user heterogeneity by providing multiple encoded representations at different rates and/or resolutions for the same video content. For delay-sensitive applications, such as live streaming, there is however a stringent r ...

200 km fiber-loop Brillouin distributed fiber sensor using bipolar Golay codes and a three-tone probe

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang

Aiming at taking full advantage of bipolar codes, a method using a three-tone probe is proposed to alleviate the probe power limitation imposed by pump depletion in Golay-coded Brillouin distributed fiber sensors. Experimental results validate the techniqu ...

Analyzing and Boosting the Performance of Power-Line Communication Networks

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are employed in home networking to provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. IEEE 1901, the MAC protocol for power-line networks, employs a CSMA/CA protocol similar to that of 802.11, but is substantially more complex, which ...

Bipolar optical pulse coding for performance enhancement in BOTDA sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

A pump signal based on bipolar pulse coding and single-sideband suppressed-carried (SSB-SC) modulation is proposed for Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors. Making a sequential use of the Brillouin gain and loss spectra, the technique is ...

Generation and application of dynamic gratings in optical fibers using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

Since the invention of optical fiber cable data transmission using light has become ubiquitous in the past years. Nonlinear optical effects, which are hardly noticed in our daily life, have become crucial and highly influential for the design and performan ...

Bipolar pulse coding for enhanced performance in Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the possibility to use a pump signal based on bipolar pulse sequences using single-sideband suppressed-carrier (SSB-SC) modulation in Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors. The SSB-SC modulated pum ...

Symmetric Distributed Coding of Stereo Omnidirectional Images

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic, Vijayaraghavan Thirumalai

This paper presents a distributed coding scheme for the representation of 3D scenes captured by omnidirectional cameras. We consider a scenario with a pair of similar cameras that benefit from equivalent bandwidth and computational resources. The images ar ...
