Combined with the predicted mobility, this paper investigates the association control mechanism for bus networks. We firstly construct a dynamic AP-Bus graph to describe the dynamics. Then the association problem is formulized to a linear integer programming problem based on the AP-Bus graph. As the problem is NP-Hard, two approximation integral solutions are proposed further. Through the simulation experiments, the dynamic solutions outperform traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":226552,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Symposium on Communications & Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130401586","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 method is based on wavelet multi-scale decomposition algorithm and correlation theory. Since the statistical characteristics of the harmonic signal and the chaotic interference are different, we use wavelet multi-scale decomposition algorithm to separate the harmonic signal from the chaotic interference and apply correlation theory to estimate the frequencies of the harmonic signals. The case in which white Gaussian noise exists in the chaotic interference is also studied in the paper. The method does not need either the dynamical equation or the reconstruction of the phase space of the chaotic interference.

It has excellent performance which is near the Shannon limit. LDPC has low decoding complexity, free structure and receives extensive attention. The typical decoding algorithm of LDPC is LLR BP algorithm, which is also called “sum-product algorithm”. LLR BP algorithm is the best algorithm at present. But it needs complex computation, which causes great difficulty in its hardware design. To solve this problem, an algorithm that gets approximation of LLR BP algorithm is put forward, which is called min-sum algorithm. Min-sum algorithm greatly reduces the computation and makes the hardware design simpler, but its accuracy has a wide gap with BP algorithm. This article analyzes the reason why min-sum algorithm has errors, and puts forward an improved algorithm called min-sum linear approximation algorithm based on min-sum algorithm.","PeriodicalId":226552,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Symposium on Communications & Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121104079","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}

Following the hypothesis that neurons code sound based on fractional derivatives we develop a model in which sound is transformed into a ‘neural space’. In this space sound is represented by various fractional derivatives of the envelopes in a 22 channel filter bank. We demonstrate that noise reduction schemes can work in the neural space and that the sound can be resynthesized. A supervised sparse coding strategy reduces noise while keeping the sound quality intact. This was confirmed in preliminary subjective listening tests. We conclude that new signal processing schemes, inspired by neuronal processing, offer exciting opportunities to implement novel noise reduction and speech enhancement algorithms.","PeriodicalId":226552,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Symposium on Communications & Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133185214","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 this paper, an adaptive scheme to suppress the effect of impulsive noise is proposed. The impact of impulsive noise can be detected by using the guard band in the frequency domain; furthermore the position information of the impulsive noise, including burst duration, instantaneous power and arrived time, can be estimated as well. Then a time-domain window function with adaptive parameters, which are decided in terms of the estimated information of the impulsive noise and the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), is employed to suppress the impulsive interference. In order to solve the inter-channel interference (ICI) due to suppression of OFDM signal, linear programming based equalization is further estimated. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed scheme, which improved the bit error rate (BER) performance for the ISDB-T receivers in both AWGN channel and Rayleigh fading channel.","PeriodicalId":226552,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Symposium on Communications & Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133420691","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 most popular core technique of such systems is collaborative filtering, which utilizes users' known preference to generate predictions of the unknown preferences. A key challenge for collaborative filtering recommender systems is generating high quality recommendations on the cold-start items, on which no user has expressed preferences yet. In this paper, we propose a hybrid algorithm by using both the ratings and content information to tackle item-side cold-start problem. We first cluster items based on the rating matrix and then utilize the clustering results and item content information to build a decision tree to associate the novel items with the existing ones. Considering the ratings on novel item constantly increasing, we show predictions of our approach can be combined with the traditional collaborative-filtering methods to yield superior performance with a coefficient. Experiments on real data set show the improvement of our approach in overcoming the item-side cold-start problem.","PeriodicalId":226552,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Symposium on Communications & Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132543216","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}

It states that the salient information of a signal can be recovered from a relatively small number of linear projections. In wireless networks, anomaly detection is an attractive application. Current research shows that it is promising to apply CS into sparse anomaly network detection, as the number of abnormal events seems much smaller than the total number of nodes. In this article, we firstly propose an ameliorated reconstruction method for abnormal event detection in noise-involved wireless networks, where no prior information is needed. Second, we improve this method to solve a distributed anomaly detection problem considering energy consumption and detection accuracy. Finally, we analyze the performance of our scheme in different conditions.
