The benefits of XML documents are their easy handling, dynamic adjustment to nearly all needs, availability of parsers for any programming language, and the human readability. Despite many advantages of XML, it is still primarily applied in software-based systems. The serious drawback of XML is the size of the document and the text-based parsing. Further, the dissemination of the Web service technology in automation demands very fast data processing especially in real-time scenarios. This implies the compactness of the data representation and fast parsing possibility. In such cases, hardware-based solutions are often used to speed up the process. Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) was developed to leverage the deployment of XML in deeply embedded systems. EXI provides very high XML compression rates without additional processing load. However, EXI parsing was only tested in software-based systems. As very fast processing speed is targeted in this work for, e.g., real-time systems, which software-based parsers most probably cannot achieve, we provide an investigation and the prototype implementation of the EXI parser in hardware and compare it to software-based solutions.","PeriodicalId":199393,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Sign (CSNDSP)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122678521","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}

Owing to the improved performance characteristics, time-frequency (TF) transformation tools are commonly used for such analysis. In this article, we propose a one-step characterization approach that exploits the collective advantages of TF analysis and discriminative kernels in the intermediate ambiguity domain (AD) for non-stationary signal analysis. Here, a machine learning kernel is used to suitably model the AD-map, following which certain robust AD-based features are extracted from the signal- and cross-term (generated during TF transformation) components. The novelty of the work is also geared towards finding out the usefulness of cross-terms for non-stationary signal classification applications. The proposed technique is evaluated for a multiclass quantification problem using one of the challenging stochastic triangular waveform datasets. Obtained misclassification accuracies are close to the theoretical minimum, previously reported using a Bayes classifier. Results indicate that this scheme shows great potential and can be extended in design of robust tools for real-life signal non-stationary analysis.","PeriodicalId":199393,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Sign (CSNDSP)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124667132","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}

Simulation and testbed experiments are realised under different Radio Duty Cycling (RDC) protocols, channel checking rates and packet fragmentation. The findings of this study confirm, in asynchronous RDCs, the general view that multicast consumes more energy than unicast. However, by putting numbers along with this extensive analysis, we argue that multicast power consumption is acceptable taking into account additional advantages multicast approaches can provide in comparison with unicast approaches. When fragmentation is present; however, multicast showed large power consumption (about three times) and big latencies (about 35% delays) when compared to the performance registered by unicast.","PeriodicalId":199393,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Sign (CSNDSP)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114195803","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 two conditions are posed as linear functional inequality constraints. To have smooth signals, the sum of the total absolute values of the p th order derivatives of the magnitudes is minimized. To solve the optimization problem, the objective function is first converted to a linear objective function subject to linear functional inequality constraints. Finally, the functional inequality constraints are converted to the conventional linear equality constraints via the constraint transcription method. Experimental results show that the magnitudes obtained by our proposed method are much smoother than those obtained by existing methods.","PeriodicalId":199393,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Sign (CSNDSP)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126245728","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}
