To describe the collected data and facilitate communication protocols, it is necessary to identify the location of each sensor. Usually, localization algorithms use trilateration or multilateration based on range measurements obtained from RSSI, TOA, TDOA and AoA. This paper addresses localization techniques in ad-hoc wireless networks, where anchors and unknown nodes are randomly positioned in a uniform distribution in a squared area. Here , we first review some existing sensor localization methods and then propose a localization method that with use of probabilistic neural network (PNN), estimates the locations of unknown nodes, Then we reduce calculations and energy consumption with the help of independent component analysis (ICA) by removing some unnecessary anchor nodes. A PNN can estimate the location of unknown nodes, properly and with the help of ICA we can easily reduce calculations and therefore energy consumption by about 43 percent in dense networks.","PeriodicalId":133602,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115464584","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}

But, non-cooperative spectrum sensing methods are not so reliable and result in a low probability of detection. In this paper, we propose some cooperative detection schemes in order to improve the spectrum sensing performance in the CR networks. Because cyclostationary detectors can differentiate between modulated signals, interference, and noise even in low SNRs; in the proposed method a powerful multi-cycle detector is employed. Results of the simulations show that cooperative sensing based on multi-cycle detection outperforms conventional methods even in low SNR conditions.","PeriodicalId":133602,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117295846","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}

These points can uniquely define the position and orientation of all anatomical segments. In the proposed algorithm, joint tracking is performed based on a n*n block of DCTs coefficient (descriptor matrix). Then we correct the false tracked joint such as occluded joint using an energy function which can estimate false joints using the length of limbs and other joint location. We divided the problem into two parts: 1) Torso correction; 2) Hand and Leg correction. It leads to correct location of all joints even when the occlusion occurs for a part of time. Finally, 3D reconstruction is performed using Taylor method. Algorithm is robust in human turning and temporal occluded limbs. Experimental results showed the promise of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":133602,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117303119","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}

We consider effects of interuser channel quality and correlation among uplink channels on the system performance. We also investigate the performance of the aforementioned system using multiple antennas in the receiver.

One of the most important standards is the Wireless LAN standard. This standard has three different amendments a, b and g. The next Wireless LAN standard which is not finalized yet is the 802.11n standard. The new standard is predicted to be capable of supporting data rates up to 600 Mbps thanks to deploying the new communication method ldquoMIMOrdquo. However, the data rate can only be achieved if it is efficiently realized in real hardware design. In this paper a 802.11n transceiver is designed and simulated. First, a high level Simulink model based on current draft of the standard is designed and tested. Design alternatives for mapper, viterbi decoder and MIMO equalizer are investigated towards an optimum design. Next, a fixed-point model is obtained and simulated. Optimizations have lead to higher power and area efficiency. Finally a FPGA-based design is proposed according to the results gained in the previous sections.","PeriodicalId":133602,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116913395","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}

We observe a significant reduction in packet delivery ratio in traditional and even position based routing protocols. To address these performance limitations in vehicular networks, we propose several improvements and take into account special characteristics of vehicular networks. The major improvement is the use of link expiration time (LET) as a node mobility and density indicator to provide transmission range adaptation.
