However, they did not provide the implementation of power spectrum estimation. In order to provide an efficient solution, in this paper, we propose power spectrum estimation and PAPR analysis for Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). In this technique, power spectrum value of each node is calculated by computing autocorrelation. This power spectrum value is compared with five methods namely Periodogram spectral estimate, Bartlett's spectral estimate, Welch spectral estimate, Blackman Tukey spectral estimate and Correlogram spectral estimate. The difference in transmitted signal can be measured in terms of Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio (PAPR). Finally, PAPR analysis is performed using the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF). The proposed technique is simulated in MATLAB.","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":"131716922","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}

It is based on Direction Oriented Forwarding Through Minimum number of Edge Nodes (DOF-MEN) Protocol, Energy Efficient Location Aided Routing (EELAR) Protocol and Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP). It reduces the control overhead. It selects one of its edge nodes as Next Hop (NH) for forwarding the data to the destination. The remaining nodes are not involved in forwarding. The node adjusts its transmitting power according to the movement of the edge node. Node mobility may lead to packet loss. It reduces the probability of packet loss by adapting the transmission power.","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":"129205678","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, to find out denoised image the Dual tree complex wavelet and Curvelet transforms based methods are used and we have evaluated and compared performances of Dual tree complex wavelet transform method and the Curvelet transform method based on PSNR (Peak signal to noise ratio) between original image and denoised image. Simulation and experiment results for an image demonstrate that PSNR of the Curvelet transform method is high than Dual tree complex wavelet method.

This data is segmented for every 200 milliseconds after which the feature extraction is performed using mean absolute value. The signals are fed to the artificial neural networks and processed to attain parameters that are related to the muscles temporal hand activities.

DSTTD system requires four transmit antennas to implement two STBC block units at the base station for down link (DL) communication. In our considered work, we replace four uni-Polarized transmit antennas by two dual polarized antennas in order to achieve polarization diversity by employing orthogonal polarization. Further we consider non linear multi-user detection based on Space-Time Block Nulling technique at each mobile station by realizing one dual polarized receive antenna to obtain higher throughput with reduced size of mobile unit. Furthermore, we consider iterative style of turbo decoding algorithm at the receiver to mitigate the effects of multi-user interferences. In particular, we investigate the performance of turbo coded dual polarized DSTTD-IDMA system based on Stanford University Interim (SUI) specifications. Our simulation results demonstrate that our considered Dual-Polarized DSTTD-IDMA system provides better BER performance with reduced size of mobile units in the context of DL communication.","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":"126026829","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}

One of the PCF structure with decreasing area of circular air holes report negative dispersion for wide range of wavelength. The birefringence of PCF structure with decreasing area of circular air hole is high compare to that of other PCF structure investigated.

The present paper considers the effect of seven different types of music stimuli on a single subject. The data of the HRV signals are subjected to a recently developed technique known as `frequency-delay plot'. The quantification is done by `ellipsoid fit' and allied five different types of quantification measures. Such results of quantification are then analyzed by the method of 'randomized block ANOVA. It is proved that all the different types of music stimuli have different effects on ANS of the subject, and that the effects are significantly different. Moreover the five different measures also do differ significantly on the music data. Finally to test which music signal affects ANS most, we consider, as population, the totality of all data corresponding to different types of songs and different types of measures taken. By considering the data of individual song under all measures as data of a sample, we calculate the interval of confidence of the population mean and the population variance with the help of each sample mean and sample variance at 0.95 level of confidence. It is proved that the length of confidence interval for population mean as well as for population variance is minimum only in the case of song1. In other words, it means that song1 is the most effective one on ANS of the subject.","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":"121840107","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}
