It is well known that the decorrelating detector is an effective technique for separating signals of different users in bandwidth-efficient CDMA. For a general asynchronous CDMA channel, the output of the decorrelator for each user can be characterized by an equivalent single-user system with multiuser (MAI)-induced intersymbol interference (ISI). We investigate diversity combining techniques for this equivalent single-user channel using differential phase shift keying (DPSK) detection. This method does not require tracking of rapidly changing fading parameters. To improve the performance of the DPSK combiner, it can be beneficial to weigh the signals associated with different paths. We consider several criteria for choosing these weights. For the synchronous (ISI-free) channel, we show that the bit error rate (BER) of the optimal combiner can be closely approximated by a combination of two decorrelating detectors (with either noise whitening or signal whitening filters). We also discuss this \"hybrid\" approach for asynchronous channels with MAI-induced ISI. Finally, a minimum mean square error (MMSE) combiner is analyzed and compared to other techniques.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

With the AR precoding, no diversity is necessary at the receiver. In the precoding, the AR property of the precoder plays an important role. We introduce the concepts of precoder distance and optimal precoders, and characterize and construct all optimal systematic AR precoders, when additive channel random noise is considered. A necessary and sufficient condition for an AR precoder to be optimal is given, which is easy to check. With the optimal precoders, numerical simulations are presented to show the improved performance over the known AR precoders in ISI cancellation applications.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Scalable video codecs, generating bit-streams decodable at different rates, have been proposed to address the heterogeneity problem. In this paper, we review standard-compliant and non-compliant codec architectures for Internet video-on-demand. For compression based on the H.263 standard, we have developed a compatible architecture that allows to switch between pre-encoded bit-streamers of different bitrates. This architecture provides excellent streaming performance for point-to-point communication scenarios that offer a low delay feedback channel. Then we present a non-compliant fully scalable video codec based on a spatiotemporal resolution pyramid. This approach can encode embedded lower bit-rate layers at the same overall hit-rate as needed by H.263 single-layer coding and can also support multicasting. The complexity of both schemes is sufficiently low to allow software-only implementations of Internet video services. This is demonstrated by means of an implemented World Wide Web video server application.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

The closed-loop system must be stable but it is allowed to be unstable in open-loop. A frequency-domain parametric solution is proposed and analyzed using an equation error formulation, and cyclic spectrum and cross-spectrum of the input-output measurements.

We explore an encoding scheme that has several complexity reduction features: noniterative Lagrangian motion estimation, optimized table-based estimators of DCT coding bit rate and distortion performance, and bottom-up propagation of block matching results. Our scheme is compared with the advanced prediction mode (APM) of H.263, as instrumented by the popular Telenor test model. For typical QCIF video test sequences, our scheme furnishes PSNR gains ranging from 0.35 to 1.1 dB. Visual quality improvement is highly palpable.
