Using a link based on random access solves this concern, but also prevents delivery guarantees, and implies less predictable performance. This paper concerns the estimation of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Packet Error Rate (PER) using physical layer abstractions under a time and frequency random scheme, namely Time and Frequency Aloha. We first derive a BER calculation for noncoded QPSK transmission with one collision. Then, we use the 3GPP LTE NB-IoT coding scheme. We analyze the interference that could be induced by repetition coding scheme and propose an efficient summation to improve the decoder performance. Finally, to estimate a PER for any collided scenario, we propose a physical layer abstraction, which relies on an equivalent Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) calculation based on Mutual Information.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125605759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new technique has several advantages over the standard ellipse fitting techniques. For one, it is constraint-free and computationally inexpensive thus making it easy to implement. Also, despite the absence of constraints, execution of the model always results in an ellipse fit. Additionally, the model results in a singular solution for a given set of datapoints. The proposed model is compared with standard techniques and shown to have the ability to fit an accurate ellipse even when other methods either fail to be ellipse-specific or take up excessive computation time for execution. An application to the problem of segmentation of the optic cup in retinal fundus images, is also presented. Experimental validation and performance comparisons show that the proposed technique is competitive with the state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122624980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dynamic use of the band relies on a network of sensors dedicated to detecting the presence of federal incumbent signals and triggering protection mechanisms when necessary. This paper uses field-measured waveforms of incumbent signals in and adjacent to the band to evaluate the performance of matched-filter detectors for these sensors. We find that the proposed detectors exceed the requirements for performance in the presence of co-channel interference from commercial long term evolution (LTE) signals, meaning that more commercial devices can use the band in the proximity of sensors. Furthermore, the detectors are robust to out-of-band emissions into this band from adjacent-band radars, which prior studies have found can be significant.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123877253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the FCA, source separation is performed by multichannel Wiener filtering with the covariance matrix of each source signal estimated by the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. A drawback of this EM algorithm is that it does not necessarily yield good covariance matrix estimates within a feasible number of iterations. In contrast, the proposed multiplicative update rules tend to give covariance matrix estimates that result in better source separation performance than the EM algorithm. Furthermore, we propose joint diagonalization based acceleration of the multiplicative update rules, which leads to signifi-cantly reduced computation time per iteration. In a BSS experiment, the proposed multiplicative update rules resulted in higher source separation performance than the conventional EM algorithm overall. Moreover, the joint diagonalization based accelerated algorithm was up to 200 times faster than the algorithm without acceleration, which is realized without much degradation in the source separation performance.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121247881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, based on extensive RT simulations, the target channels are characterized comprehensively. All the parameters are input into and verified by the 3GPP-like quasi deterministic radio channel generator (QuaDRiGa). By adding the obstructed V2V scenario into standard channel model families, this paper provides a foundation for evaluating intelligent vehicular communications in challenging conditions.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128699600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, maintaining low complexity and energy efficiency for network devices incurs another dimension of challenges. Based on Software Defined Networking (SDN), this paper presents a link recovery mechanism which enhances the reliability of the network, maintains low communication latency, and reduces memory utilizations of the switching devices. To be specific, for achieving low latency, the protection-based link recovery approach is employed where the backup paths are pre-installed in the switch. Furthermore, an improved Segment Routing (SR) approach is utilized where the path information is encoded in the packet header for reducing the flow states stored in the switch. The experimental results show that, achieving real-time link recovery, the proposed mechanism leads to a 25% saving in memory utilizations and thus greatly reduces the complexity of the switch. The energy efficiency of the switch, and the entire network, can be enhanced accordingly.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116203749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three new datasets with severely occluded images and context information are created. Extensive experiments are conducted to compare the performance of CRNN against conventional methods and human experimenters. The experiment results show that the CRNN outperforms both conventional methods and most of the human experimenters.

Inspired by the machine learning technique of random ferns, an algorithm is proposed to speed up the search procedure. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated based on three different signal models using both simulations and experimental tests. The results show that using random ferns can reduce search time to 1/6 of the search time of the exhaustive method while maintaining the same accuracy. The proposed search approach outperforms a benchmark frequency-diversity based algorithm by offering lower DOA estimation error.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127161403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, this paper focuses on the settings in which the true model might deviate from the nominal model to a group of alternative models. Such uncertainty in the true model adds another dimension to the system state estimation. Specifically, the state estimator must also detect if the system model has deviated from the nominal model, and then isolate the true model. The estimation and detection/isolation decisions are intertwined as the estimation performance is linked with the detection/isolation decisions, but isolation of the true model is never perfect due to noisy measurements. This paper establishes this fundamental interplay between model isolation and state estimation, and characterizes the optimal state estimator and model detector.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126221842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
