Perhaps more importantly, ROCKET's reduce rank performance has the potential to surpass the performance of full rank AR spectrum estimation techniques. ROCKET is based on the observation that the reduced rank subspace of importance is the one that best predicts the desired signal from the data. ROCKET's subspace is formed in an iterative manner from the cross-correlation vectors defined by a specified desired signal and data. Projecting the desired signal onto this new subspace allows for a significantly reduced dimensional weight vector with the aforementioned properties and benefits.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Spatial multiplexing is a scheme that aims to achieve such high data rates by transmitting an independent substream of data from each transmit antenna. However when the receive spatial signatures are poor (i.e., when the channel is not favorable), one or more transmit antennas can not be used to transmit an independent stream. In fixed modulation systems this results in some loss in data rate. We consider such fixed modulation systems and propose a scheme that uses multiple spreading codes as in CDMA MIMO (multiple input multiple output) systems to smartly combine code multiplexing with spatial multiplexing in order to mitigate this loss in data rate. We also show that, in the presence of a low bandwidth feedback path, the proposed scheme, unlike the spatial-only multiplexing scheme, allows the transmitter to adapt the data, rate smoothly based on the receive spatial signatures.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

In order to achieve more accurate texture characterization, we propose a new tree-structured HMM, called the 2-D HMT-3, where the wavelet coefficients from three subbands are grouped together. Besides the interscale dependencies, the proposed 2-D HMT-3 can also capture the dependencies across the wavelet subbands that are found useful for texture analysis. The experimental results show that the 2-D HMT-3 provides a nearly 20% improvement over the method using wavelet energy signatures, and the overall percentage of correct classification is over 95% upon a set of 55 Brodatz (1966) textures.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Next, we generalize the data fidelity term of the original Mumford-Shah functional to incorporate a spatially varying penalty. This more general model leads us to a novel partial differential equation (PDE) based approach for simultaneous image magnification, segmentation, and smoothing.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

The improvement in the signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) resulting from the optimized transmit pulse shape over that of a standard chirped waveform typically lies between 4 dB and 9 dB. Similar improvements in target identification performance are also obtained.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Closed-loop transmit diversity methods, which employ feedback of optimal weighting vectors so as to pre-weight transmitted symbols from multiple antennas, suffer from two problems: (1) degradation at high mobile velocities due to limited-rate feedback, and (2) increasing feedback information rate with increasing number of transmit antennas. A method of closed-loop transmit diversity which addresses both of the problems listed above is presented based on the use of unitary transformations for transmitter diversity.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

This paper presents a turbo equalization method for complex TCM signals over frequency selective, multipath fading channels based on receiver antenna array measurements. The channel observed at each array element is described as an equivalent convolutional encoder acting on the interleaved TCM symbols. The received vector signal can be viewed as produced by a serial concatenated encoder and is decoded by an iterative equalizer that employs M-ary soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) as the decoding rule. Since the computational complexity of the equalizer increases with the number of ISI symbols and antennas used in the receiver, an alternative receiver is also considered where the array outputs are first combined through a beamformer and then sent to the equalizer. Both receiver structures are simulated for two dimensional TCM signals such as 8-16 PSK and 16-QAM and the results indicate an improved performance of the diversity receiver.","PeriodicalId":10581,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.
