These methods are used in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. The OFDM employs orthogonal sub-carriers for data modulation. These sub-carriers unexpectedly present a large peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in some cases. In order to reduce PAPR, the sequence of input data is partitioned into disjoint sub-block of PTS. If number of sub-block increases, high efficiency of PAPR reduction can be obtained. However, a quite large calculation cost must be demanded and thus it is impossible to obtain the optimum PTS. In the proposed method, we introduce a coded side information technique assuming the pseudo-optimum condition into the PTS. The total calculation cost becomes drastically reduced and side information bits for recovering original data in demodulation. In simulation results, the proposed method demonstrated the improvement of PAPR and bit error rate (BER) performance.","PeriodicalId":215340,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130418607","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}

Based on the rigid-constraint model, originally developed for visual-only image synthesis, a virtual object is represented as a set of point-masses connected by distance-preserving linear constraints. The drawback of the original method is that it is time consuming and not suitable for real-time haptic simulation. In this paper, a bounded force propagation model is developed to reduce calculation time as required by the original method. In addition, a haptic-endpoint position prediction method is applied to prepare the simulation system for the calculation required by the method. These refinements allow the brittle object simulation method to be applicable to real-time interactive applications with haptic force feedback.","PeriodicalId":215340,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129548351","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}

Primary cytoplasm region was then estimated roughly. Distance mapping was applied to this primary area and used to create a gradient vector flow. The active contouring technique was then implemented according to the vector field and finally segmented the WBC boundary. The obtained segmentation outputs show that active contour which guided by the distance mapping from a surrounding area is able to extract nucleus and cytoplasm region efficiently.","PeriodicalId":215340,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies","volume":"1279 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120968849","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 the paper based on the mathematical expression of the interference power caused by MB-OFDM based CR systems, the relationship of the symbols on the sub-carriers can be obtained. To realize the relationship the sub-carrier weighting method can be adopted. With the effect of the weighting factors, the symbols relationship can be satisfied, and simultaneously the maximum channel capacity can be achieved on certain degree. The simulation results of the relationship among the three parameters, channel capacity, interference power and total transmission power, also shows that a better tradeoff can be achieved between the channel capacity and the interference power.","PeriodicalId":215340,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115745832","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}
