In this problem the topology of the network and the traffic requirements between node pairs are given, and the objective is to find the flows on the different links and their capacities that minimize the total network cost and keep its average delay below a certain upper limit. This paper proposes an algorithm based on hybridization of genetic algorithms (GA) and the shortest path routing. The proposed algorithm has shown simplification in implementation and improvement in performance. Computational results indicated a 3.17% reduction in network cost when compared with a previous method.","PeriodicalId":211510,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventeenth National Radio Science Conference. 17th NRSC'2000 (IEEE Cat.

They are beneficial in encryption as well as signing which plays an essential role in electronic banking and financial transactions. This paper presents a new generalized blind signature scheme based on ElGamal (1985) signatures. This new scheme has a valuable property that assures that if a message is signed multiple times, the corresponding signatures will be different. This adds to the anonymity of the blind signatures. The new scheme uses number theory operations and modular arithmetic techniques to achieve the desired goal. The current research introduces a generalized signature scheme that could be used to generate blind signatures as well as ordinary ElGamal signatures. The new scheme is found to be comparable to the RSA blinding. Moreover, the new scheme has the advantage of having less computational complexity and is faster than RSA in the blinding procedure.","PeriodicalId":211510,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventeenth National Radio Science Conference. 17th NRSC'2000 (IEEE Cat.

Such X-waves are represented as a superposition of pulsed plane waves in all azimuth directions and tilted by a constant angle with respect to the X-wave propagation direction. The problem of transmission and reflection of pulsed TE electromagnetic plane waves in the presence of a lossy dispersive half-space is formulated in the frequency domain and is converted to the time domain via Fourier transformation. The transmission coefficient, the reflection coefficient, and the longitudinal propagation function inside the lossy dispersive medium are frequency dependent. A new efficient and accurate method is used to evaluate the inverse Fourier transform where the asymptotic forms of the frequency dependent parameters are obtained, and the corresponding fields are evaluated analytically. The remaining part of the integrand is a fast decaying function of frequency that can be approximated by a series of exponential functions via Prony's method. The Fourier transform of such exponential terms is evaluated analytically in closed form.","PeriodicalId":211510,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventeenth National Radio Science Conference. 17th NRSC'2000 (IEEE Cat.

The channel under consideration is a Rician fading channel, with AWGN included in the analysis. The system capacity is considered as an indicator of the system performance and is calculated for different situations. The capacity is shown to be affected by channel fading state. For no fading, the capacity is 188 users, while with Rician fading it is 108 users and it is 78 users when the fading is Raleigh. The effect of jamming total power was found to have a minor effect on the system capacity. The capacity is affected mainly by number of tones of the multitone jamming (q). When q=2.5% of the frequency hopping bins, the capacity will be 108 users. At q=33% of the hopping frequencies, the capacity decreases to 78 users. When q=50%, the capacity becomes very small (42 users only) compared to the no jamming case.","PeriodicalId":211510,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventeenth National Radio Science Conference. 17th NRSC'2000 (IEEE Cat.

Then, a peak detection is applied to extract the pitch period. The algorithm is highly immunized to noise. A comparison between the ordinary methods and this new one is presented. The pitch contour is varying through the utterance period rather of being consider as constant through the analysis periods as in ordinary methods.
