In the beam-nulling scheme, the eigenvector of the weakest subchannel is fed back and then signals are sent over a generated subspace orthogonal to the weakest subchannel. Hence, the scheme can achieve high capacity. The capacities of water-filling, equal power, beamforming and beam-nulling are compared through theoretical analysis and numerical results. It is shown that at medium signal-to-noise ratio, beam-nulling approaches the optimal waterfilling scheme. Additionally, the existing beamforming and new proposed beam-nulling can be extended if more than one eigenvector is available at the transmitter. The new extended schemes are called multi-dimensional (MD) beamforming and MD beam-nulling. Theoretical analysis and numerical results in terms of capacity are also provided to evaluate the new extended schemes.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"4 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":"116844691","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}

These features are invariant to changes in scale, 2D translation and rotation transformations. To a limited extent they are also robust to 3D projection transformations. SIFT Features however, are of very high dimension and large number of SIFT features are generated from an image. The large computational effort associated with matching all the SIFT features for recognition tasks, limits its application to face recognition problems. In this work we propose a discriminative ranking of SIFT features that can be used to prune the number of SIFT features for face recognition. Our method checks the number of irrelevant features to be matched thereby reducing the computational complexity. In the process it also increases the recognition accuracy. We show that the reduction in the number of computations is more than 4 times and increase in the recognition accuracy is 1% on average. Experimental results confirm that our proposed recognition method is robust to changes in head pose, illumination, facial expression and partial occlusion.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"48 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":"133456122","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}

Here, “decision-making” is defined as “priority-setting,” meaning that we construct a priority mapping that is allowed to be defined from both policies and the system's physical limitations. At the run time, the supervisory control of any hybrid system results in a set of possible transitions for the current state from which one should be picked. However, the set may consist of more than one transition at the highest priority. In such a case, hybrid optimal control is defined to be applied. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to highlight these stages of specification to be implemented through a novel multi-layer framework for the execution and control of hybrid systems.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"225 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":"116316091","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 novel partner selection strategy is presented in this paper by dividing users into three groups according to their moving speeds and directions if there are any high speed users in a certain cell. The partners for cooperation are selected from the same group with the source user. Simulation results show that the selection strategy can increase duration of cooperation, as well as decrease the partner handoff times and probability of unsuccessful partner selection.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"44 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":"116921690","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}

As one of the key techniques in UWB systems, many pulse shaping methods have been proposed. The semi-definite programming (SDP) based pulse shaping method can obtain the pulse with highest power efficiency by far. However, an accurate timing of 40ps is required, and such requirement cannot be implemented precisely using modern hardware. Furthermore, the power efficiency of the second orthogonal pulse will be lower than the first pulse. To solve such problems, the linear combination of orthogonal Hermite functions is used in the SDP method and a modification method is then proposed to eliminate the direct current (DC) component. Simulation results show that orthogonal pulses without DC component can be obtained and the power efficiency of the obtained pulses are more than 80%. Moreover, the obtained orthogonal pulses will have shorter pulse duration due to the energy concentration property of orthogonal spaces.","PeriodicalId":153464,"journal":{"name":"2009 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering","volume":"20 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":"116657582","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}
