UWB offers all the advantages of spread spectrum including GHz of RF bandwidth and high data rate. UWB signals are virtually undetectable operating at noise like low power levels. UWB offers very fine range resolution and also immune to multipath fading. Conventionally UWB is defined as carrier free, impulse based radio, which communicates in time domain by only using sharp rising pulses of the order of fraction of nano seconds. In this paper challenges in the design and development of impulse radio based ultra wide band transceiver is explained.

An overlay network is a network running on top of another network, usually the Internet. These networks are employed in many settings to provide logical communication infrastructure over an existing communication network. The main objective of the overlay network is to reduce routing path lengths, stretched by the overlay routing process. In most solutions developed, a kind of fixed infrastructure in the form of excessive message exchange is necessary to guarantee good overlay locality properties. This paper presents a richly connected overlay networks based on Dominating Set Theory to optimize the number of nodes for large data transfer. Fast Replica algorithm is applied to reduce the content transfer time for replicating the content within the semantic network. To download a file from different peers in parallel from the semantic overlay network (SON) a dynamic parallel access scheme is introduced where end users access the members of the SON at the same time, fetching different portions of that file from different peers and reassembling them locally. The load is dynamically shared among all the peers. An enhanced digital fountain with Tornado codes is applied to eliminate the need for retransmission requests from the end users. Receivers run the decoding algorithm to reconstruct the original content. In this no feedback mechanisms are needed to ensure reliable delivery. This paper analyzes the performance of sequential unicast and multiple unicast content distribution strategies and compares their performance with our scheme and also analyzes the impact of dominating set theory for the construction of semantic overlays","PeriodicalId":257948,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132544300","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 the proposed approach, the graphic symbols are first segmented into high-level primitive like quadrilaterals. Then, a graph is built by utilizing these quadrilaterals as nodes and their spatial relationships as edges. Additional information like relative length of the quadrilaterals and their relative angles with neighbouring quadrilaterals are associated as attributes to the nodes and edges of the graph respectively. However, the observed graphs are subject to deformations due to noise and/or vectorial distortion (in case of hand-drawn images) hence differs somewhat from their ideal models by either missing or extra nodes and edges appearance. Therefore, we propose a method that computes a measure of similarity between two given graphs instead of looking for exact isomorphism. The approach is based on comparing feature vectors extracted from the graphs. The idea is to use features that can be quickly computed from a graph on the one hand, but are, on the other hand, effective in discriminating between the various graphs in the database.

Main drawback of FH CDMA is, it is interference limited. In this paper we analyze the performance of frequency-hopped spread spectrum networks (FHSS) with turbo block codes. After the development of turbo code, using block component codes have received less attention. Block component codes are particularly suited for high rate applications with short block lengths and allow high degree of parallel processing which is desirable for delay sensitive applications. Rate compatible coding is appropriate for communication systems that experience a range of operating SNRs but seek to adhere to a single under laying codec structure. This paper suggests the performance improvement of FH SS signals by using rate compatible parallel-concatenated block codes using BCH (Bose, Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem) codes as component codes and usage of puncturing for making it rate compatible. These codes enjoy more freedom in puncturing pattern selection thus allowing for an almost continuous spectrum of code rates","PeriodicalId":257948,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129056505","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}
