The proposed method is able to reconfigure the filter bank architecture so as to adapt to non-uniform bandwidth channels of military radio signals. The flexibility in realizing multiple bandwidth channels is achieved by suitably designing the prototype filter and efficiently selecting the channels using the information from the spectrum detection unit. A nonuniform bandwidth filter bank is shown as the design example and the complexity comparison shows that our method is 58% less complex than the best known non-uniform discrete Fourier transform filter bank.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125200671","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}

On the other hand, compression techniques of wireless networks, generally by vocoders, cause severe non-linear distortions to DoV systems. Indeed, it is network that compensates the distortion which is produced by its channel and produces distortion to upper system of DoV by its vocoder. In channels with minimum phase or linear one; Linear Equalizer (LE) with LMS is a quite practical solution. Even though normal channels with fading or non-minimum phase have destructive effects, equalizers with Viterbi decision device such as Maximum Likelihood Sequence Detection (MLSD) equalizer are able to compensate distortions. Nevertheless, LE and MLSD are not able to combat with the whole distortions of DoV systems, theoretically and practically. Although Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) is a proper choice for non-linear channels, due to its capability of non-linear modeling, but it would be preferable to improve for applications of DoV. This paper considers a neural based DFE with fast and reliable neural networks. We represent the results of proposed method for DoV in an experimental state. The final empirical results on GSM network show that proposed method is reliable for DoV systems.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131813864","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 limited feedback design over the channels, the discrete prolate spheroidal basis expansion model (DPS-BEM) is used as a fitting parametric model for capturing the time-variation of the multiuser downlink channels and for reducing the number of the channel parameters. The resulting dimension reduction in the channel representation, in turn, translates into a reduced feedback load of channel state information (CSI) to the base station (BS). To exploit the considerable reduction in CSI feedback load, vector quantization (VQ) of the DPS-BEM coefficients is performed at users under the assumption that perfect BEM coefficient estimation has been established by existing algorithms. The output indices of the quantized BEM coefficient vectors are assumed to be sent to the BS via error-free, zero-latency feedback links. With the quantized CSI, the block-diagonalization (BD) precoding and greedy scheduling techniques are employed for the heterogeneous multiuser transmission (i.e., users with different numbers of receive antennas and different signal-to-noise ratios). Numerical results show that the BEM-based limited feedback scheme is able to significantly alleviate the detrimental effect of outdated CSI feedback over the time-varying channels.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133477890","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 analysis is applicable for arbitrary transmit antenna selection when the multiple-antenna channels experience identically distributed and non-identically distributed Rayleigh fading conditions.

An appropriate ratedistortion model of the embedded bit stream can be useful for deriving closed-form relations between the parameters of the scalable encoder and the time-varying channel condition values. With a well-defined model, an adaptation mechanism can quickly update the optimal values of the encoder parameters within each transmission period, and hence, a real-time implementation may be realized. In this paper, two simple and accurate empirical (hyperbolic and exponential) models are developed for modeling the rate-distortion characteristics of a scalable video encoder based on motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) and two-dimensional (spatial) discrete wavelet transform (2D-DWT). The experimental results demonstrate that the hyperbolic model has an acceptable approximation error (0.2~0.85dB) relative to the actual measurements, however, the exponential model demonstrates more error (0.75~3dB) relative to the actual measurements.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128515656","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}
