For clinical diagnosis, parameters for the condition of heart are needed. Estimation of these parameters is possible from accurate segmented cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. For real time applications, reliable transmission of these segmented medical images through wireless communication channels faces a great challenge. Wireless channels impairments such as fading and interference increase the probability errors, when the image is transmitted. This necessitates the use of channel coding to protect against the channel errors. The problem of increase in transmitted bit rate with the application of general channel coding is solved by the unequal error protection technique. As we concentrate on the left ventricle (LV), more importance is given to this as compared to rest part of the CMR image. In this paper, we suggest a technique that emphasizes protection according to the importance. The image is partitioned into equal blocks and the data classification is performed in the DWT domain. The DWT coefficients are categorized into two classes of importance and they are given different rates of error protection and compression ratios. The simulation results show the less bit error rate for the left ventricular image indicating high quality desired reconstructed image at the receiver end.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125536522","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, the error probability of cooperative relay channel is analyzed for Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) using simple linear block coding. Focusing on a network with single source to destination with one relay station, the upper bound of symbol error rate (SER) is derived. A power control scheme is also proposed to improve the performance of the system. Computer simulations confirm the presented mathematical analysis.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127852988","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}

We call a cognitive radio user (CR user) harmful, when it generates interference for primary users (PU) or occupies spectrum holes excessively. This paper discusses the spectrum management policy against harmful CR users. For this, we design a jammer signal which ruins transmission of harmful CR users and forces them to leave the spectrum without damaging the communication of PUs. This signal is designed using group subspace technique for both synchronous and asynchronous channels. Our simulation results show that the designed jammer signal generates effective interference to harmful CR user while maintains performance of PUs.","PeriodicalId":198556,"journal":{"name":"2009 First UK-India International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems (UKIWCWS)","volume":"883 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126095970","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}
