While through suitable signal mapping can conquer the phase deviation to some different degrees, we propose using a novel interleaving approach to discern multi-quality transmission that can effectively combat different burst errors caused by phase noise and multipath fading without deteriorating the channel capacity.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117142897","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}

It was mainly used to reduce the dimension of data for target detection. Meanwhile report of ICA in lossless compression of image data was also seen where ICA was used to reduce the redundancy of coefficients in wavelet lifting schemes. In this paper we will explore the use of ICA in lossless compression of ultraspectral sounder data.

These five models include uniform error model, GE model, higher order Markov model, Markov-based Trace Analysis (MTA) model and improved two-state model. Then we evaluate the performance of these models using several metrics including TS packet error rate (PER), error and error-free length distributions and conclude that the improved two-state model is most suitable with acceptable complexity. Based on this conclusion, the throughput related to the SubNetwork Data Unit (SNDU) size of our system is given.

It is causing a lot of non-conforming frames. However, as one way to solving this problem, we purpose a backoff time in leaky bucket over traffic shaping mechanism. Backoff time computations are wildly used in order to avoid the impact on the network performance whenever the increment of offered load arises. The fluctuation of offered load will cause the congestion at waiting room. Furthermore it will lead to or will be close to the deadlock situation as many attempts are there for all-the-time busy service center. The backoff computation will help reduce the repetition of I/O cycles (required to switch task between waiting room to service center) and will prevent the maximum attempts to be reached due to the congested traffic at the waiting room, backoff time computation schemes proposed in this paper are pseudorandom backoff (PB) time, exponential backoff (EB) time and random backoff (RB) time. In pseudorandom backoff (PB) scheme, none of the computation is applicable but the queue discipline. In this paper, the FIFO and the maximum queue size are preset. In exponential backoff (EB) scheme, each node will double the backoff time interval up to the maximum backoff time after each attempt. On the other hand, it will decrease the backoff interval time to the minimum value after a successful attempt. In random backoff (RB) scheme, the delay in queue will be computed randomly, meaning that all frames are to wait in queue until next attempt arises for any random period of time. The performance of three backoff schemes has been investigated by the fluctuation of telecommunication traffic stream (ON/OFF stream). Simulation results indicate that EB and PB help improve performance of network depending on maximum waiting time in queue. Moreover, RB is found to be better regardless to QoS and better if required bandwidth are substantial.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114622213","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 conventional identification method is based on experts which is hard to find. This paper proposes a method to classify dog breed based on the dog face images. The proposed method is based on the coarse to fine concept, where the template matching technique is applied for coarsely classifying the images into 5 groups. Then, within each group, the principle component analysis (PCA) is applied to finely classifying the dog breed. In the PCA- based classification, face features are represented in term of a weight vector. A set of sample image of each dog breed are used for learning the features of the breed. The average weight vectors are stored as the templates of features for breeds after the coarse classification. During the running time after the coarse classification, a dog face image is passed through the PCA to find it vector representation. This vector will then be compared with feature template for each breed in the database. The image under test is classified as the breed that gives the minimum distance between the twp vectors. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, experiments with 700 dog face images from 35 dog breeds had been performed. Before the testing, 5 dog face images from every breed (totally 175 dog faces) were used to train the system. The experiments showed that the proposed method (coarse classification and PCA for fine classification) gives approximately 93% accuracy which is better than the PCA-based classifier without the coarse classification. The improvement is 16% approximately.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128107166","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 technique is used in a system based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM has many orthogonally modulated subcarriers which unexpectedly give a large peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and tends to reduce the power efficiency of a RF amplifier. A sequence of input data is rearranged by PTS for the reduction of PAPR and then fed to APPR process in the proposed system. The APPR method controls the peak level of the modulation signal by an adaptive algorithm. It reduces modulation signals over a predefined range. A proposed reduction method consists of these two methods and realizes both advantages at the same time. In simulation results, the proposed method shows the improvement on PAPR and also the high performance on bit error rate performance of an OFDM system.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130945763","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}
