In addition, three equalization-based algorithms, minimum mean square error (MMSE), zero forcing (ZF) and maximum likelihood (ML) algorithms are employed for the LCP-CO-OFDM system. The simulation results obtained suggest that the LCP-CO-OFDM system demonstrates superiority to the uncoded CO-OFDM system.

The developed analytical model is then validated via simulation. By means of the analytical model, we determine the throughput increment due to the capture effect by computing the throughput of a WLAN without and with the capture effect. We find that the throughput increment due to the capture effect is very significant. We also investigate the effect of the variations of some network and wireless channel parameters on the increment of downlink throughput due to the capture effect. We find that the throughput increment due to the capture effect increases with increasing the user transmission probability and the variance of shadowing.

A possible solution to this problem is the use of multi-run independent component analysis (ICA) to reduce the effect of noise from the noisy speech signals. Previous works have used multi-run ICA in biosignal application; however, the effectiveness of multi-run ICA on noisy speaker verification has not been investigated yet. In this paper, we use multi-run ICA to enhance the noisy speech signals by choosing the highest signal to interference ratio (SIR) of the mixing matrix from different mixing matrices generated by iterating the fast ICA algorithm for several times. We use a combination of feature-warped mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and feature-warped MFCC extracted from the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) of the enhanced speech signals as the feature extraction. A state-of-the-art identity vector (i-vector) probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) was used as a classifier in this paper. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method with multi-run ICA achieves high improvements in equal error rate (EER) of 66.68%, 69.24% and 70.78% over the baseline noisy speaker verification system, when the test speech signals are corrupted with CAR, STREET, and HOME noises respectively at −10 dB SNR.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120899214","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 novel stochastic geometric network model is proposed to model the practical circumstances. In this model, the PU network is modeled as a random geometric network that following a Poisson point process (PPP) which can better describe small-scale mobile PUs. Different from the classical Shannon theorem that only considers noise, the aggregated interference caused by PUs located outside the sensing range is taken into account in this paper. The interference known as spatial alarm (SFA) can decrease the second user's (SU's) medium access probability. In this paper, cyclostationary spectrum sensing based partial QR decomposition (CSS-PQR) is adopted in each SU, and to obtain more effective and more accurate detection performance, a location-aware cooperative sensing algorithm that linearly combine multiple sensing results is used. Particularly the Fisher Analyzer (FA) is utilized to determine the linear coefficients. It can be proved that the proposed model is more accordant with practical circumstances, and the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs much better than the traditional ones, such as MAJ-OC based, ML-OC based CSS algorithms, in terms of false-alarm probabilities and detection probabilities.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131736483","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}

Since multi-homed hosts allow an alternate means for outside entities to circumvent the security of a firewall and gain access to a network, it is important for a network's security to be able to detect and remove such devices. In this work, the idea of using clock skew — the difference in perceived time between two system clocks — as a unique signature is utilized to identify hosts on a network that are potentially multi-homed. Testing was done on a software-defined network that contained a multi-homed host. After traffic between hosts was collected and processed, analysis of the confidence intervals of the device's clock skew was conducted to determine if IP addresses originating from the same host could be successfully detected solely from network traffic. Results confirmed that the proposed scheme provided a valid means of detecting a multi-homed device on a network.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134372051","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 cross-correlation between the spreading code for the pilot and the data has to be low (ideally zero). The conventional reception method of the CR-UWB relies on different variants of energy detection techniques. These techniques show poor performance in low SNR, strong interference and multiuser scenarios. We present a novel method for the detection of CR-UWB using a comb filter based rake-like receiver. The implementation of the comb filter in the receiver solves all the problems in the conventional techniques. Coherent combination of receiving impulses is performed at the comb filter, and therefore the SNR gain from transmitting several impulses per symbol is achievable. Moreover, the comb filter suppresses interference from multiuser transmission and from other systems. The improvement in performance is verified through simulation results in different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134436574","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 statistics give only limited insights on the underlaying distribution of a data set. On the other hand, higher order statistics such as skewness and kurtosis provide additional information about a distribution but their qualitative interpretation is complicated. In order to alleviate these shortcomings, we advocate the use of box plots to efficiently visualize and compare distributions between different sets of image quality scores. Specifically, box plots serve the purposes of accounting for the diversity in image quality scores as well as supporting an intuitive qualitative interpretation of the results. It is shown by analysing two subjective experiments of the wireless imaging quality database that notched box plots are beneficial in quickly assessing the statistical significance among differences in such experiments. Further, box plots are used to identify those test material that received a wide diversity in image quality scores including outliers.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128911114","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, spread spectrum technology was integrated to different 5G filter-based multicarrier waveforms. Candidate waveforms for 5G that were considered in this research are Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC), Universal Filtered Multicarrier (UFMC), and Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM). The study assesses the impact of applying spread spectrum techniques on these 5G filter-based multicarrier waveforms under different channel impairments and synchronization errors. Performance of each scheme was evaluated by determining the bit error rate (BER) for both multiuser and single-user transmission load scenarios.
