An adaptive array antenna is often used to suppress long-delay multipath interference; however, the performance degrades when the desired and interference signals come from nearly the same direction. In these situations, a multipath equalizer in the time domain is very effective for suppressing the interference signal. In this paper, we propose three configurations based on a combinational use of an adaptive array antenna and a multipath equalizer as a remedy for long-delay multipath interference. We evaluated the performance using a computer simulation. The results show that excellent performance can be achieved even when the directions of desired and interference signals are close as well as when the interference signal comes from arbitrary directions.","PeriodicalId":221905,"journal":{"name":"The 2011 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2011)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131684723","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}

To extend the core switch capacity, code switch capable (CSC) layer has been added. The CSC layer, however, induces the complexity of the networks. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of two-dimensional (2-D) optical code label for core GMPLS networks. In our proposal, the LSC layer and CSC layer are combined into one, i.e., 2-D CSC layer. The complexity of the GMPLS networks is therefore reduced while the core switch capacity is still enhanced. In addition, to the mitigate multiple-access interference (MAI), we propose to use optical hard-limiters (OHLs) at the core switches. Numerical results show that the throughput is increased significantly and able to reach the peak value.","PeriodicalId":221905,"journal":{"name":"The 2011 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2011)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116769754","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 deterministic design is approached using chaotic sequences while the structured one is with a spread-spectrum technique using chirp modulation. We propose to combine these two approaches to take advantage of the simple hardware implementation of chaotic sequences, and of reduced the mutual coherence by a chirp modulation, which spreads the data in the acquired domain. The method is illustrated by the well-known application of CS for fast acquisition in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results and performance comparison are provided by numerical simulation, showing that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art CS techniques for MRI acquisition in terms of image reconstruction quality.","PeriodicalId":221905,"journal":{"name":"The 2011 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2011)","volume":"8 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133246618","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}

Our proposed approach replaces the re-training step with a short period of calibration (in the order of a few minutes), which can be done transparently to the user. To validate our approach, we collected data from a large scale experiment (14 laptops and 2 smartphones with 224-hour of collected data) to evaluate the performance.","PeriodicalId":221905,"journal":{"name":"The 2011 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC 2011)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126106080","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}
