The usage of integer adaptation of the popular discrete cosine transform (DCT) with fixed quantization is prevalent in the field of video compression due to its ease of computation and acceptable performance. However, there exist other polynomial-based orthogonal transforms like discrete Tchebichef transform (DTT), which possess valuable properties like energy compaction, but are potentially unexploited in comparison. The influence of specific features, such as the structure and content, of the image on the quality of reconstructed image after decompression is undeniable. This paper aims to harness this aspect and introduces a technique to adapt the quantization performed during compression according to the characteristics of the image block without any additional computational or transmission overhead. The image compression performance of integer DTT and integer DCT, using both variable and fixed quantization, are evaluated and compared.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121148847","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, the presence and potential of temporal and spatial dynamics of the functional connectivity (FC), which is usually measured by the correlation coefficients between rs-fMRI signals of two regions, are not taken into account in most of the research. Recent studies have shown that the resting-state brain activities are time-varying in nature with substantial dynamic characteristics. However, an effective method for estimating the time-varying FC is lacking, which is mainly due to the difficulty in choosing an appropriate window to localize the time-varying correlation coefficients (TVCC). In this paper, we introduce a novel method for adaptively estimating the TVCC of non-stationary signals and study its application to infer dynamic FC of rs-fMRI data. The proposed method employs a sliding window with adaptive size, which is selected by a local plug-in rule to minimize the mean square error, to estimate the TVCC locally. Simulation results on synthetic data show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional TVCC estimators with a fixed window. Furthermore, the proposed method is used on real rs-fMRI signals, and the results demonstrate that the FC in the resting state are transient and the variability of FCs between different brain regions differs substantially.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"317 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116364752","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}

Existing MANET routing protocols set up an end-to-end path between source and destination prior to data forwarding. Maintaining a connected path before data delivery may not work well when the network is partially disconnected or disrupted. This paper discusses Opportunistic Multi-link Delay Tolerant Routing (OMDTR) which is designed to provide data delivery in the network where fully connected network topology is not guaranteed. OMDTR learns the local network connectivity and deliver the data if there is connectivity within two-hop. OMDTR exploits the robustness of flooding-based routing when there is no local network connectivity. Performance measurements of OMDTR protocol show that OMDTR increases the data delivery compared to pure flooding-based routing and pure end-to-end routing in mobile multi-hop wireless network with relatively high and low network density.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125730032","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}

The rapidly increasing traffic demand is also driven by the growing popularity of mobile data services, which is placing high-capacity requirement on the backhaul. Due to advances in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, WDM based architectures have been considered as promising candidates for next generation optical access, such as WDM passive optical network (PON), and hybrid WDM/time division multiplexing (TDM) PON. Meanwhile, resilience technique will play a more prominent role in emerging access networks due to their significantly increased capacity and coverage compared to the current deployments. Therefore, efficient resiliency mechanisms are highly required to enable uninterrupted network operation where a certain level of reliability performance can be guaranteed. In this work, we first evaluate reliability performance of each segment of next generation optical access networks and then identify the most important part for protection. A particular attention is paid to the reduction of failure impact.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128769363","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}

The first one generalized a previously reported single-input and single-output (SISO) based method into the MIMO case. The second one is an extension to the first one by smartly introducing additional columns per received block in the channel matrix equation. These two SS methods require few received blocks to satisfy the persistency of excitation (POE) criterion and do not require the number of receive antennas to be greater than that of transmit antennas. Simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed methods to perform blind channel estimation using few received blocks. Compared to multiple existing SS methods, significant performance improvements of the proposed methods are observed given the same amount of available received data.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133610377","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}
