Optimal likelihood ratios are computed based on the maximum a posteriori criterion using the multiuser signal structure and a priori information of code bits of all other users available from channel decoders. Combining turbo coding and multiuser detection in MC-CDMA has shown performance close to the single user bound with a few iterations of joint detection and decoding. Additionally, a suboptimal approach using soft interference cancellation is also implemented for the uplink transmission and compared with the conventional methods. Simulation results are presented in a Rayleigh multipath fading environment for a typical data transmission scheme.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.

The technique is based on first performing channel identification (through a semi-blind subspace-based algorithm) as an aid for semi-blind equalization (via the constant modulus algorithm (CMA)). This two step process allows us to improve upon the traditional training-based least squares (LS) estimator by adding the constant modulus and cyclostationary properties of communication signals. Simulation results comparing the performance of our algorithm with regularized LS estimators (both training-based and semi-blind) for different amounts of spatial-diversity, number of active users and burst lengths indicate a significant reduction in the required number of training symbols. Application of this work is in the reverse-link of third generation DS-CDMA systems.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.

While these methods have led to significant advances in the development of automated techniques, manual processing by a clinical expert remains the standard against which results are assessed. Here we explicitly attempt to build our understanding of human form perception, implemented at a neural level, into metrics that give us a measure of the extent to which the structure in an image displays a coherent orientational specificity. We describe the derivation of these metrics and consider their application to typical images of normal colon, dysplastic specimens, and moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of colon. Preliminary results evaluating the effectiveness of the total activation ratio and the orthogonal activation ratio suggest that they are capable of separating images of normal colon tissue from those of moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of colon.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.

In this paper, we propose the usage of the method of principal component in order to uncorrelate and remove any redundancy from the input space or the adaptive-neuro fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS). This leads to an effective partition of the input space to the fuzzy model and significantly reduces the modeling error. A computer simulation for three frequently used benchmark problems shows that ANFIS with the uncorrelation process performs better than the original ANFIS.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.

Simulation results, based on SIMULINK modeling of the compensation scheme are presented in the paper. It is shown that the proposed scheme is simple, and capable of maintaining constant load voltage for extreme supply voltage sag and swell, and of decoupling the load harmonics from the supply for nonlinear loads.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.

The novelty of the proposed approach is that the sliding mode switching functions are chosen in such a way that the multivariable coupled system is controlled as a whole. There is hence no need to divide the system model, which is developed in the synchronous 'dq' reference frame into two separate loops. Furthermore the proposed control strategy allows a better stability and robustness over a wide range of operation. Simulation results show the validity of the performances considered theoretically for the compensations required by the shunt active filter.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.

There are systems that may convert the volumetric data into a set of derived products. Based on these derived features, this work compares three classifiers to determine which approach will best classify a storm cell data set coming from Environment Canada. The criterion for comparison is the accuracy in the classification over a testing set. The three approaches compared are the support vector machine (SVM) classifier, with radial basis function (RBF) kernel; the classic RBF classifier, with the centres found using the orthogonal least squares approach; and the hybrid RBF, with the centres corresponding to the support vectors found using the SVM approach. The results show that the SVM approach is the best of these approaches, in terms of accuracy, for the storm cell classification.","PeriodicalId":184523,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001.
