It is shown that the spread spectrum PR-QMF codes with minimized auto- and cross-correlation properties drastically outperform the conventional Gold (1967) codes in CDMA communication scenarios considered.","PeriodicalId":131323,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop Proceedings","volume":"144 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123149502","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 nature of this approach enables this distribution to satisfy numerous mathematical properties, including marginals and the Weyl (1964) correspondence. A few issues concerning the relationship of this distribution with group theory are explored in detail. In particular, the discrete distribution depends on the parity of the signal length, i.e. odd distributions are computed differently than even ones. This dependence is explained and a surprising consequence is demonstrated. We also describe how this distribution satisfies covariance properties. The three fundamental types of symplectic transformations (dilation/compression, shearing, and rotation) are are given and interpreted for this discrete case.","PeriodicalId":131323,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop Proceedings","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122570790","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 local cosine decomposition of Coifman and Wickerhauser (see IEEE Trans. Inf.

These are relative shifts between resolution levels and adaptive polarity foldings. The resultant expansion is shift-invariant, and yields adaptive time-frequency distributions which are characterized by high resolution, high concentration and suppressed cross-terms associated with the Wigner distribution.","PeriodicalId":131323,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop Proceedings","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125345032","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}

A measure of the entropy reduction achieved by the pyramid is in this way maximized. Further, the filters are also determined which minimize the error committed when only the low resolution vector signal is retained from a multi-channel perfect reconstruction vector filter bank. The effect of this is to ensure that the lower-resolution image produced by the primary subband bears maximum resemblance to the input image. In both settings, it is assumed that additive transmission noise corrupts the downsampled signal prior to the synthesis stage. It is seen that under noiseless or lossless transmission conditions, the two above families of optimal analysis and synthesis filters coincide. The results are evaluated experimentally for the vector coding of the DCT coefficients.","PeriodicalId":131323,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128037139","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}
