In underwater communications, acoustic interference and ambient noise are the two major channel impairments. In our work, we consider turbo code as channel encoder and at the receiver, we employ iterative decoding algorithm to alleviate the effects of ambient noise and acoustic interference. We implement IFFT block at the transmitter and FFT block at the receiver to realize multi-carrier modulation. Particularly, we investigate the effects of eleven tap delay pertaining to shallow water model in the context of coded MIMO-OFDM system. At the receiver, we realize non-linear detector based on zero-forcing (ZF) algorithm. It is shown through simulation results that MIMO-OFDM system with ZF algorithm provides achievable bit error rate with less signal-to-noise ratio using iterative decoding algorithm..","PeriodicalId":149965,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Communication and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125871479","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}

Ambulatory ECG (A-ECG) monitoring provides electrical activity of the heart while a person is involved in doing his or her normal routine activities. Thus, the recorded ECG signal consists of cardiac signal along with motion artifacts introduced due to person's body movements during routine activities. This motion artifact has spectral overlap with cardiac signal in 1-10 Hz which corresponds to ECG features like P wave and T wave. Detection of motion artifacts due to different physical activities (PA) might help in further cardiac diagnosis. Ambulatory ECG signal analysis for detection of various motion artifacts using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approach is addressed in this paper. The ECG signals of healthy subjects (aged of 19 to 16 years) were recorded while the person performs various body movements activity like (i) up and down movement of left hand, (ii) up and down movement of right hand, (iii) waist twisting movement while standing and (iv) change in position from sitting down on chair to standing up movement in lead I configuration by using BIOPAC MP 36 signal acquiring system.","PeriodicalId":149965,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Communication and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124757169","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}

CAM provides performance advantage over other search algorithms as searching is based on content rather than address unlike RAM. The match time of our CAM structure is faster and resources are more effective.

This paper aims at designing the multicarrier modulation pulse for communication over a Doubly Dispersive (DD) channel. For a DD channel, Inter Symbol Interference (ISI)Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) can be completely eliminated only when we design the pulses with the knowledge of the channel state. But for a quickly varying doubly dispersive channel, the channel state cannot be tracked by the transmitter. So instead of designing a pulse which suppresses all the ISIICI, the proposed technique designs the MCM pulses which allows a tolerable ISIICI within the target pattern and eliminates all the ISIICI outside the target pattern. By properly selecting the target pattern, it is possible to treat the allowed ISIICI by using simple equalization/decoding techniques.","PeriodicalId":149965,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Communication and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129885492","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}

In this paper we have used signal processing techniques to extract information from wrist pulse signals. For this purpose we have acquired radial artery pulse signals at wrist position noninvasively for different cases of interest. The wrist pulse waveforms have been analyzed using spatial features. Results have been obtained for the case of wrist pulse signals recorded for several subjects before exercise and after exercise. It is shown that the spatial features show statistically significant changes for the two cases and hence they are effective in distinguishing the changes taking place due to exercise. Support vector machine classifier is used to classify between the groups, and a high classification accuracy of 99.71% is achieved. Thus this paper demonstrates the utility of the spatial features in studying wrist pulse signals obtained under various recording conditions. The ability of the model to distinguish changes occurring under two different recording conditions can be potentially used for healthcare applications.","PeriodicalId":149965,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Communication and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128266467","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}

Hence this paper presents a system which gives an idea about what can be done to provide medical help and other facilities after accident as soon as possible. Accident can be detected using flex sensor and accelerometer, while location of accident will be informed to desired persons such as nearest hospital, police and owner of vehicle through sms sent using GSM modem containing co-ordinates obtained from GPS along with time of accident and vehicle number. Camera located inside vehicle will transmit real time video to see current situation of passengers inside vehicle.
