For both these models, we propose quantized transmission schemes for the sensors and corresponding fusion rules at the fusion center. The proposed fusion rules are based on an adaptive version of CUSUM. The detection delay performance of the proposed schemes is studied as a function of the number of affected sensors for a given false alarm constraint.

It has been observed that sometimes the amount of sparseness in the identifiable system impulse response can vary greatly depending on the nonstationary nature of the system. The compressive sensing based sparsity-aware adaptive algorithm performs satisfactorily in strongly sparse environment, but is shown to perform worse than the conventional ones when sparseness of the impulse response decreases. We propose an algorithm which works well both in sparse and non-sparse circumstances, and adapts dynamically to the level of sparseness using a dual stage adaptive filtering approach using an affine combination of the outputs of two single stage adaptive filters using two different algorithms. The proposed algorithm is supported by simulation results that show its robustness against variable sparsity.","PeriodicalId":202526,"journal":{"name":"2013 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132398379","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 slow fading channel is modeled as a block fading channel. Each user performs block by block encoding for communication with the common receiver. The receiver decodes the messages of both users from the received signal, also on a block by block basis. Each user has its own fixed average power constraint in each block. A useful metric to measure the throughput performance in such a scenario is the adaptive sum capacity which is the maximum expected sum throughput that can be achieved. The adaptive sum capacity in such a setting was derived by the authors in [4]. We show that the adaptive sum capacity can be achieved by an asymptotically optimal rate-splitting scheme with low complexity single-user decoding. This eliminates the need for joint decoding of the two users which, although optimal, has a high complexity.","PeriodicalId":202526,"journal":{"name":"2013 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131257555","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 these networks, frequency reuse factor of unity is usually considered. In the forward link i.e., in downlink, although frequency reuse one provides higher capacity than other reuse factors, yet it severely affects the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the users at the cell edge. This leads to very poor throughput for cell edge users. To enhance the cell edge performance, FFR is one of the methods being considered. The impact of SINR threshold and bandwidth partitioning ratio on the successful deployment of FFR is presented in this work. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed Grade of Service (GoS) fair method performs better and is good choice for Real Time traffic.","PeriodicalId":202526,"journal":{"name":"2013 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131896345","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}

Rendering of medical data (MRI, CT etc ) requires discrete evaluation of the X-ray transform which involves computing the line integrals of the 3D data along a specified viewing direction. Frequency domain methods which are based on the Fourier Projection Slice Theorem are very popular due to their low computational complexity. However these suffer from various drawbacks like high interpolation cost, high memory requirement and appearing of ghosting artefacts. In this paper we present a new frequency domain volume rendering algorithm which overcomes these drawbacks to a great extent. The proposed algorithm is based on iteratively computing the inverse Fourier transform with an L1 regularization constraint on the Wavelet coefficients of the final image. The results of our algorithm have significantly fewer ghosting artefacts as compared to the results of conventional frequency domain volume rendering.","PeriodicalId":202526,"journal":{"name":"2013 National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115242256","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}
