Principal Component Filter Banks (PCFB) have proven to be optimal whenever the minimization objective is a concave function of the subband variances produced by the filter bank. However PCFBs are known to exist for only three special classes of orthonormal filter banks(FBs): Any class of two channel FBs, the transform coder class and the unconstrained order subband coder class. This paper explores the design of FIR Paraunitary(PU) FBs for special case of uniform 3-band subband coder class, giving a detailed analysis of the design method. This method directly maximizes the coding gain. Results have been compared to the PCFB approximation algorithm by Peter Vouras and Trac D. Tran which uses complete parameterization of FIR PU FBs in terms of Givens rotation building blocks.","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":"126965952","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}

Sensors are deployed randomly according to a Poisson distribution. The probability that two target locations at a distance of r between them are separable is derived. This is extended to derive the probability of having at least Z among M uniformly distributed target locations to be non-separable from the origin.

The two primary aspects considered while studying this system were the separation of photon pulse in space by the coupler, and the timing aspects of the setup required to achieve synchronization between detector and the source.

It is very important to analyze the scalability characteristics of the routing protocols with respect to these parameters. Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is considered to be one of the most scalable routing protocols due to its multi-scoping and hybridization features. We propose a general, parameterized model for analyzing control overhead of ZRP. A generic probabilistic model for data traffic is also proposed which can be replaced by different traffic models. Our analytical model is validated by comparisons with simulations performed under different network scenarios. In our simulation results, we have observed that the optimal zone radius lies at a point where proactive and reactive overhead components of ZRP are approximately equal as observed in [1]. Further, as the mobility increases the optimal zone radius value decreases, and as the traffic increases the value of optimal zone radius increases. If a node operates away from the optimal zone radius setting then it has to bear additional routing overhead. We show that the additional overhead is around 35% higher under a wide range of mobility scenarios.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"86 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":"126167785","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 likelihood ratio test (LRT) detector applied to this detection problem reduces the detector to a matched filter (MF) when the texture is considered as completely correlated during a coherent processing interval (CPI). However, in practical applications, the textural component exhibits a correlation which is less than unity. The conventional form of MF based detectors existing in the literature yield a significant fall in the detection performance in such clutter scenarios. In this paper, we propose a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector which can effectively detect a fluctuating target in the presence of a compound-Gaussian clutter with partially correlated texture. The results are presented to show the performance superiority of the proposed detector over the existing MF detector in such varying texture scenarios.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"24 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":"122015245","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}

Determination of such precoders requires complete channel state information of all the interfering links to be present at all the base-stations. In this paper, we present a modified form of interference alignment based on locally-available channel state information at the user equipment. We consider the downlink of a wireless system where basestations and user equipments are equiped with two antennas each and scheduling of users is done based on Fractional Frequency Reuse. Assuming an MMSE receiver at the user equipment, an expression for the optimal precoder to be used by the interfering base-stations is derived so that there is zero interference after MMSE equalization. We also give an example for the case where there is uncancelled interference despite the use of these precoders. The effect of this uncancelled interference is overcome by the use of a robust LLR developed in [2]. Simulation results that demonstrate the performance of the proposed technique are presented.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"4 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":"122234771","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}

LTE assigns subcarriers in chunks, called physical resource blocks (PRBs), to users to reduce control signaling overhead. To reduce the enormous feedback overhead, the channel quality indicator (CQI) report that is used to feed back channel state information is averaged over a subband, which, in turn, is a group of multiple PRBs. In this paper, we develop closed-form expressions for the throughput achieved by the subband-level CQI feedback mechanism of LTE. We show that the coarse frequency resolution of the CQI incurs a significant loss in throughput and limits the multi-user gains achievable by the system. We then show that the performance can be improved by means of an offset mechanism that effectively makes the users more conservative in reporting their CQI.","PeriodicalId":130953,"journal":{"name":"2010 National Conference On Communications (NCC)","volume":"19 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":"133660599","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}
