The Thai language consists of 9 short unmixed vowels (a, i,ω,u, o, e, ε, γ, [unk]); 9 long unmixed vowels (aa, ii, ωω, uu, oo, ee, £ εε, γγ, [unk][unk]); 3 short mixed vowels (ia, ωa, ua); and 3 long mixed vowels (i:a:, ω:a:, u:a:). We proposed uses 3-stage decision making: step 1 distinguishes long and short vowels using coefficients of third order polynomial regression of signal energy as features set and 5-NN as classification method; step 2 classifies each voice segment (frame) into 9 basic vowels using 18 critical band intensities as feature set and 9-NN as classification method; finally step 3 decides whether each frame contains mixed or unmixed vowel via thresholding method. This solution is different from the conventional speech recognition mainly because decision making in this method is done for each frame, while conventional speech recognition chooses the best decision for a sequence of frames forming a word or a sentence. Evaluation is done by applying the algorithm to 3024 voice samples of male and female subjects. Each step of the algorithm is evaluated successively.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"364 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115783925","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 adaptive approaches always add a significant amount of complexity to the system. The aim of this paper is to present a new Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) scheme, Block Window Retransmission (BWR) ARQ scheme, for achieving higher throughput efficiency over a wide range of BERs without adaptation of parameters. Simulation results show that it significantly outperforms the existing Go-Back-N ARQ scheme for next generation high speed IrDA links. We also examine the effect of window size, frame data length and minimum turn around time on the performance of the BWR ARQ scheme.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122058494","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}

However, routes chosen according to such criteria tend to include longer hop-length links with possibly bad signal quality. It is expected that the routing protocol can be improved by eliminating the usage of routes with bad links. In this work, we modify the ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol to avoid routing through bad quality links. We also integrate the \"hand-off\" concept into our protocol to prevent link breakages during route maintenance. The herein reported OPNET simulation results seem very promising and they show that our protocol introduces a much lower routing overhead while still providing equal or better performance than the original AODV protocol in terms of throughput and delay.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128269475","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}

Whereas the bad channel with large condition number still aggravates the computation complexity of SD. In this paper, we firstly explain the reason why the condition number influences the performance and the complexity of detection algorithm. Secondly, an algorithm of combining weight at high layer is proposed for SD, aiming to reduce the probability of accessing into the high layer of the tree in the searching process of SD so as to decrease the complexity. According to whether the magnitude of condition number is distinguished or not, there are two types, i.e. the partially combined-weight SD and the fully combined weight SD. The simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm can cut down the complexity distinctly, even to more than 20% at low SNR and high condition number.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129378605","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 level of users' demand is yet too high to satisfy with current technology. Available resources such as CPU, memory, and battery power are still insufficient for current mobile devices. One way to overcome these limitations is to offload heavy methods to nearby powerful servers. In this paper, we propose a transparent code transformation to achieve method offloading within the domain of Java. Our Java bytecode transformer called Distributed Execution Transformer (DiET) takes the original bodies of heavy methods out and implants remote procedure calls to surrogate servers. Mobile devices download the modified Java bytecode and cooperatively execute the application with surrogate servers. Experimenting with SciMark 2.0, we could improve the performance by 43% and reduce the code size on mobile devices by 18% on average. Through our early implementation and experiments, we believe our transparent method off loading will relieve mobile devices of resource limitations.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"346 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132418742","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 effect of the dispersive channel in a multiuser MIMO-OFDM system can be treated as a set of instantaneous mixtures from the viewpoint of frequency bin(FB). Upon the arrival of a new user,the new interferences are introduced which results an expanding mixture. If the CSI before the arrival of new user is known, it can be employed to recover the transmitted signals, rather than the bandwidth waste pilot symbols. In the proposed method, from the second order statistics of the received signals, the parameters of the mixture caused by the new user are extracted. Then the signals belong to different users are separated at each FB, where the new joined user's signals still retain a phase distortion. This distortion can be removed by the existing non-coherent detection method.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129032859","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}

They can help to reduce the cost of broadcasting, and increase the battery life time of the whole system. However, most such protocols made a strong assumption that the position of the destination node is easy to know or is readily available. In reality, the assumption does not hold by itself. A mechanism is required to derive the position information about the destination node. In this paper, we present an algorithm, called Hierarchical Location Service (HLS), which can efficiently provide position information about nodes in ad hoc networks. The position information can not only aid routing discovery, but also saves the resource of the whole system. HLS is a hierarchical architecture to maintain the location information of nodes. We also mention some update/query problem of location service would be happened in hierarchical manner, and we discuss how HLS can solve these problems when providing the location service.","PeriodicalId":145728,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st International Symposium on Wireless Pervasive Computing","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125368688","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}
