The novelty lies in the masking procedure that is employed to hide the confidential information using the chaotic oscillator. We use a combination of the so-called addition and inclusion methods to mask the information. We compare two observers, the proportional observer (P-observer) and the proportional integral observer (PI-observer) that are employed as receivers for the proposed communication scheme. We show that the P-observer is not suitable for the proposed communication scheme since it imposes unpractical constraints on the messages to be sent. On the other hand, we show that the PI-observer is the best solution for the proposed communication scheme since it allows greater flexibility in choosing the gains of the observer and it does not impose any unpractical restriction on the message.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"1 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":"130679185","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}

This paper presents an approach, based on principal component analysis, that is able to identify differentiating characteristics of different Internet applications, including several peer-to-peer file sharing protocols. These applications have gained tremendous popularity in the past few years and, today, traffic generated by P2P systems accounts for a major fraction of the Internet traffic and is bound to increase.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"31 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":"133490341","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 instrument was developed at the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and is part of the magnetospheric multi scale (MMS) mission organized by NASA. In the MMS configuration the ASIC is positioned inside the spacecraft while the sensor is located remotely at the tip of a radially extended five meter long boom to achieve magnetic cleanliness requirements. Several shielded twisted pair wires are required for connection. In a possible future configuration the front-end ASIC might be located quite close to the sensor to minimize the effort of cabling and to reduce overall weight. It was the objective to investigate options for this new configuration and to develop and implement a solution for test purposes in laboratory with focus on minimizing the number of required wires and considering the harsh environment in space. The result of the investigation is a communication and power supply system based on an FPGA design, a specific driver circuit and a single twisted pair cable which provides the required power of 300 mW for components at the remote location and which enables the transport of information in both directions up to a maximum distance of 30 meters.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"48 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":"133888540","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 hOME Gigabit Access (OMEGA) HAN project [1] aims at bridging the gap between home and access network, providing Gbit/s connectivity to users. The project considers a combination of various technologies such as radio frequency (RF) and free-space or wireless optical links (FSO - operating at infrared and visible wavelengths) in order to meet user demands and provide wireless connectivity within and the home and its surroundings. When combined with power-line communications this enables a home backbone that meets the ldquowithout new wiresrdquo vision. A technology-independent MAC layer will control this network and provide services as well as connectivity to any number of devices the user wishes to connect to it in any room in a house/apartment, and further, this MAC layer will allow the service to follow the user from device to device. In order to make this vision come true, substantial progress is required in the fields of optical-wireless physical layers, in protocol design, and in system architecture.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"6 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":"124506515","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 a brief analysis of modified gamma particle size distribution (PSD) parameters for dense maritime fog and moderate continental fog is presented and discussed on the basis of standard reference data available. Moreover, an effort was made to briefly analyse and compare our measured continental and maritime fog attenuation data on the basis of Mie scattering parameters and the standard modified gamma PSD parameters, in order to estimate the values of modified gamma parameters and the total attenuation for the two kinds of fog environments.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"10 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":"124004612","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}
