Top-hat transformation and mean filter was used to increase the visibility of the objects, and a two-layer thresholding algorithm was introduced to calculate the object sizes more accurately. Finally, small objects extracted by using post processing methods.","PeriodicalId":217576,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114508523","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}

After explaining the basic concepts of MIMO and OFDMA technologies, the performances of Round Robin (RR), Proportional Fair (PF) and Maximum Throughput (MT) scheduling algorithms are evaluated in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. LTE system architecture including multiple antenna structure with the use of macro cell urban area channel model is considered.

Especially, in face recognition systems, variables such as direction of light, facial expression and reflection are making difficult to identify. Thus, in recent years, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, which are deep learning models as an alternative to traditional feature extraction and artificial neural network methods, have begun to be developed. In this work, for face recognition, VGG Face deep learning model is compared with our proposed model which uses Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) classifier and reduced deep features by principal component analysis. The Kinect RGB image dataset belonging to 40 people with different facial expressions and lighting conditions has been tested with 4-fold cross validation method. While 97.18% classification ratio was achieved with the first model, 100% recognition accuracy has been obtained by the second model. The results show that deep learning achieves a high performance in face recognition under different light and expression conditions, however, the proposed classification method based on dimension reduction in deep learning properties achieves better performance.","PeriodicalId":217576,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125672805","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}

A new wave of spectrum policy reforms can be envisaged with a direction shift from static to dynamic optimization. According to the peak hours, the number of served users in mobile networks is increasing. Since the radio spectrum is limited, cognitive radio (CR) technology provides an opportunity to recognize under-utilized cellular spectrum (licensed band) resources. To this end, efficient spectrum management techniques based on CR technology should be implemented to share the spectrum between different types of users in order to maximize spectrum utilization and spectral efficiency. In this work, we present dynamic decision-based spectrum sharing model among multiple classes of users in CR network (CRN) in order to increase network utilization and the quality of experience (QoE) by increasing the users' satisfaction. Obtained simulation results from created toolkit in Matlab tool (calibrated by data set from real 3GGP LTE-Advanced system) show the performance of the developed model and appropriate user selection among multiple users' types.","PeriodicalId":217576,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132639651","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 NOMA transmitter, different users' signals are superposed on the same radio resource with different power allocation factors. The receiver removes other users' signals from the received signal before decoding its own signal. In this work, an iterative gradient ascent-based power allocation method is proposed for downlink NOMA transmitter. It maximizes the geometric mean of the throughputs of users who share the same radio resource to provide proportional fairness between users. Simulation results show that the method achieves theoretical best results in terms of the suggested metric. Also it is shown that it increases the efficiency as much as 80% when compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and it gives better results than NOMA that uses fixed and fractional power allocation methods.","PeriodicalId":217576,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133951853","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}
