Using only the spreading code of the user of interest, our method explores the orthogonality of the signal and noise subspaces in conjunction with power techniques to estimate the channel state information (CSI) from the received data sequence. We also present an improved channel estimator that relies on the assumption that all the relevant multipath components of the channel impulse response lie within the guard interval duration. Simulations of mean square error and bit error rate performances demonstrate the robustness of the proposed scheme, and for moderate-to-high signal to noise ratios the presented method achieves performance comparable to existing subspace techniques but at a softer computational cost.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121970651","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}

Suppose each mobile node can make observations within a circular area of radius robs centred on its own location. The area coverage of the network is defined as the total area observed by the mobile nodes. We investigate a distributed scalable method based on local interactions with minimal sensing and low computational cost whereby the nodes move autonomously (self-deployment) in order to maximise the coverage of the network, while at the same time ensuring that the mobile nodes do not move so far away from each other (thus trivially maximising the coverage) that they become disconnected. Certain nodes may be instructed to move to specified locations. These guide nodes induce a correlated movement of groups of nodes which follow the guide nodes and establish maximal coverage in the specified locations. Simulation results demonstrate the coverage achieved by a group of 100 nodes when moving on an unbounded plane (optional guide nodes induce a collective motion to areas of interest) and when moving on a bounded plane with barriers or hills.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126029909","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 product code with Gaussian weight distribution should have a good performance. We present a closed-form solution for the weight distribution of a recursive SPC product code. We show that the code weights for this code are symmetrically distributed at (N plusmn radic(N)/2), where N is the full-length of a codeword. Though this code does not have a Gaussian weight distribution, it has better performance than conventional product codes. When soft-output iterative decoding is applied, the performance is away from the Shannon capacity limit by only 0.95 dB. Hence, we conclude that Gaussian weight distribution is not a necessary condition for a good performance.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127042042","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 key advantage of this method is its simple implementation and its low computational complexity and introducing a new simple and efficient feature, MULSE, for solving the VAD problem. The MULSE parameter could be appropriate substitution for energy parameter in VAD problems. The GA-based VAD algorithm (GA-VAD) is evaluated using the Timit database.

Exact reconstruction from incompletely acquired random measurements is, under certain constraints, achievable with high probability. However, randomness may not always be desirable in certain applications. Taking a nonrandom approach using deterministic chaos and following closely a recently proposed novel efficient structure of chaos filters, we propose a chaos filter structure by exploring the use of chaotic deterministic processes in designing the filter taps. By numerical performance, we show that, chaos filters generated by the logistic map, while being possible to exactly reconstruct original time-sparse signals from their incompletely acquired measurements, outperforms random filters.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132762204","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}

This paper studies the key question of how to estimate the throughput performance of \"best effort\" elastic traffic when it is subject to available capacity variations due to changes in (i) the amount of higher priority traffic and (ii) the radio channel. We extend previous work in this area to show that for the QoS mechanisms studied, an equivalent PS model provides a good closed-form approximation to call-average throughput, with desirable properties of independence from radio channel variations and best effort call volume distribution. Our findings therefore provide a basis for practically estimating throughput performance of best effort traffic with arbitrary call volume distribution, in radio systems with multiple QoS levels and complex rate variability.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134286348","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 channel assignment method is based on the enhanced genetic algorithm. Mobile devices are assigned different data channels individually and can be directly established without any RES message cost. All mobile nodes can communicate based upon the assigned potential channels. Also, due to the change of topology of all mobile devices, a topology prediction method is proposed to predict the velocities and directions of all mobile nodes.
