UWB signals and NBI are separated by Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) domain filters, and therefore an estimation of NBI can be obtained by utilizing inverse FRFT. The simulation results show that the UWB pulse waveform designed by Semi-definite Programming (SDP), which is a weighted sum of chirp functions, meets the emission mask established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the use of chirp function ensures that the FRFT domain duration of UWB pulse waveform is very short. Therefore the NBI parameters (e.g. center frequency, bandwidth, energy) are more convenient to be obtained by the estimated NBI. The UWB signal will not have a detrimental effect on the performance of the narrowband system by suppressing the UWB signal in the NBI band.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129281142","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 is often referred to as face-routing. In this paper we introduce the Prohibitive-link Detection and Routing Protocol (PDRP). PDRP is a position-based wireless protocol that, when faced with a routing hole, can recover using left-hand rule in a non-planar environment. As the name implies, the protocol detects and circumvents the prohibitive links that hamper LHR. The goal of PDRP is to provide the same levels of service as GPSR-like protocols, while avoiding the prohibitive transmissions of cooperative protocols such as CLDP. Initial results are promising, revealing the same level of service as face-routing protocols despite preserving most intersecting links in the network.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129503532","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 propose and verify a time-spread quasi-orthogonal space-frequency coded OFDM (TS-QO-SFOFDM) system with constellation rotation. Assuming perfect channel state information at the receiver, we develop a coding scheme for 4×1 MISO transceiver and its BER performance is evaluated for different Doppler frequencies in an OFDM system. Monte-Carlo simulation results show that 2 dB gain can be achieved at BER of 10−3 using the proposed scheme compared to a scheme without time spreading and constellation rotation when 512 subcarriers are used at maximum Doppler frequency of 300 Hz. The proposed scheme also lends itself to easy implementation making it more attractive for adaptive cognitive radio systems.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128475595","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}

Although in this crypto-processor two independent scalar multiplications are performed in parallel, no extra arithmetic unit is employed in this crypto-processor (except an addition unit). Thus the architecture includes a field multiplier, a field divider, a field squarer and two field adders over the extension field with the degree of 163, which could perform complete arithmetic operations for elliptic curve cryptography. In this crypto-processor two scalar multipliers are synchronized and no conflicts occur in using the arithmetic units (during the execution of scalar multiplication). The implemented results of the Synchronized Dual Elliptic Curve Crypto-processor show that two scalar multiplications could be performed in1.95 msec, (in XC3S1500 platform) while one scalar multiplication takes approximately the same time for this crypto-processor.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127673242","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}

Parameters like Blood Flow Index (BFI) and Differential Pulse Arrival Time (DPAT) at different locations in both lower limbs are computed from impedance measurements on the Impedance Cardiograph. A Backpropagation neural network is developed which uses these parameters for the diagnosis of peripheral vascular diseases such as Leriche's syndrome. The target outputs at the various locations are provided to the network with the help of a medical expert. The paper proposes the use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based Backpropagation network where the variance in the data is captured in the first seven principal components out of a set of fourteen features. Such a Backpropagation algorithm with three hidden layers provides the least mean squared error for the network parameters. The results demonstrated that the elimination of correlated information in the training data by way of the PCA method improved the networks estimation performance. The cases of arterial Narrowing were predicted accurately with PCA based technique than with the traditional Backpropagation Technique. The diagnostic performance of the neural network to discriminate the diseased cases from normal cases, evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis show a sensitivity of 95.5% and specificity of 97.36% an improvement over the performance of the conventional Backpropagation algorithm. The proposed approach is a potential tool for diagnosis and prediction for non-experts and clinicians.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125707422","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}
