This method is categorized as a non-discriminative training process, as the model-building process does not take into account the negative examples of the speaker. To increase the discriminative properties of a GMM for each speaker, a new approach that includes both positive and negative examples during the speaker training process is proposed. In this approach, speaker models are trained by moving the mixture model's means in such a way as to maximize the likelihood of speaker data while also minimizing the likelihood of negative examples for the speaker. The effectiveness of this approach on classification accuracies on speaker recognition tasks is tested on the NTIMIT database and NIST SRE 2003 corpora. The results indicate improvements in the performance of the system built using this new approach when compared to the traditional GMM-based speaker recognition systems.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128714931","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}

MA systems provide two kinds of advantages, namely diversity gain and multiplexing gain. However, there is an inherent tradeoff between the two, under slow fading conditions and is captured in [1] under asymptotically high signal to noise ratio (SNR). This is known as the Diversity Multiplexing Tradeoff (DMT). It has emerged as a performance criterion for wireless systems and has been generalized to finite-SNR in [2]. In this paper the finite-SNR DMT of rate-adaptive receive diversity combining schemes, namely Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Selection Combining (SC) in presence of Nakagami-m fading, is derived. Closed form expressions of the finite-SNR DMT of Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) diversity combining schemes are obtained. From the finite-SNR DMT curves, this paper concludes that at especially low SNR, i.e. SNR less than 20 dB, rate-adaptive SIMO-MRC scheme performs better than SIMO-SC, when the fading parameter m is same on all the paths. However, the performance of SIMO-SC catches up with that of SIMO-MRC at higher SNR.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126468117","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}

To realize the spatial diversity offered by a MIMO system, either the receiver has to perform complex signal processing (such as ML decoding) or the transmitter has to preprocess the signals which requires channel knowledge at the transmitter, often through a feedback link. In this paper, we propose a new space-time signaling scheme for an Nr × Nt MIMO system that improves the diversity gain of the weak layers by encoding information along multiple dimensions and interleaving the co-ordinates of the symbols over all the layers. We prove analytically that the proposed scheme achieves full spatial diversity of NtNr. We also present simulation results that confirm our analytical results and show the superior performance of our method in comparison with existing methods. When compared with other diagonally layered schemes, the proposed scheme requires a very low feedback of log2Nt! bits and attains full diversity at the cost of a slight increase in coding and decoding complexity.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121730453","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}

For CR systems it is important to keep the interference introduced to the primary user (PU) band within a tolerable range. Since the joint subcarrier and power allocation problem is a non-convex integer problem and a closed form solution is difficult to find, a suboptimal algorithm that separates subcarrier and power allocation is proposed. First, a suboptimal subcarrier algorithm is proposed that allocates subcarriers to CR users that not only increase the capacity, but also reduces the interference introduced to the primary user (PU) band. Further, for a given subcarrier allocation an optimal power loading algorithm is proposed that maximizes the capacity of CR users while keeping the interference introduced to the PU band and the total power below a threshold. Simulation results show that for CR systems the proposed algorithm is able to load power into the subcarriers while keeping the interference below a specified threshold.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131751525","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}
