On the other hand, the wavelet transform (WT) with both the time and the frequency resolution provides the exact representation of signal in both domains. Applying these modern tools to signal processing in channel equalization and digital signal detection provide an enhanced performance compared to the traditional tools. In this paper, the slot error rate (SER) performance of digital pulse interval modulation (DPIM) in diffuse indoor optical wireless links employing equalization using discrete WT (DWT) and ANN is reported. The simulation results show that a performance gain of ~8 dB is achieved by utilizing the new approach compared to the traditional approach based on the finite impulse response (FIR) digital filters.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132429601","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}

Two modulation schemes, pulse-position-modulation and on-off keying, are combined with appropriate equalization methods in order to examine the capacity limits of non-directed infrared wireless systems. It is shown that the various non-directed configurations can provide data rates of the order of 100 Mb/s and beyond, over a medium sized room.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114826931","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 randomized Radon signature (RRS) overcomes the natural limitations of biometrics by providing unique, non-reversible and reissuable templates to replace face images in storage and during processing. The face image is transformed into the Radon space where the signatures are constructed and then projected into a random multi-space. Using the eigenface algorithm for evaluation, the results have shown a 252.78% improvement in the separation of the genuine and impostor distributions leading to an 81.49% reduction in the equal error rate.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114997331","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}

Four different methods were applied to forecast the increase in traffic, two simple: linear and exponential regression, and two more sophisticated ARMA and DHR. We will show in which cases the sophisticated models deliver a better performance and discuss the question if the gain is significant to justify the increased complexity. We present numerical results for long, e.g., more than 100 day, and short time,e.g., hourly or daily, fitting for our case study based on real traces from a live network.

In Skype, a voice connection is established via super nodes chosen from among ordinary end-user nodes. User information such as an IP address and port number of an online Skype node is managed by super nodes in a decentralized manner where the number of super nodes changes dynamically according to the number of online Skype nodes. In this paper, we analyze the performance of this decentralized management system of user information. In our analytical model, new nodes join the system according to a nonstationary Poisson process, and the online-node process associated with the number of super nodes is analyzed with a nonstationary Markov chain. We derive the system of difference-differential equations for the probability distribution of the number of online nodes to compute performance measures using the stationary peakedness approximation method. Numerical examples show that the user-information management system based on P2P can keep the quality of service (QoS) more stable than a client-server system with a centralized server of high performance.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124703981","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 this end, the use of the Engset multirate loss model (EnMLM) is proposed in the uplink direction. To apply the EnMLM we need to extend it by incorporating the so called local blockings. Arriving calls compete for their successful admission to a W-CDMA cell. The call admission depends on the availability of the required channels. To analyze the system, we formulate an aggregate one-dimensional Markov chain, and based on it, we determine the system state probabilities by an efficient recurrent formula. Consequently, we determine the call blocking probabilities in the uplink direction. Although the proposed model is approximate, its accuracy is found to be quite satisfactory. The evaluation is done through simulation. Moreover, the model performs better than the existing model which assumes infinite number of traffic sources in the cell.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128205923","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}

These factors highlight a critical need for very effective data compression schemes. Images tend to be the most bandwidth-intensive data; therefore, image and video compression methods are particularly valuable. In this paper, the authors present a novel technique for optimizing video compression while visual quality is not compromised.
