There, moving sensors arc not installed fixed on off-shore structures and affected by the sea waves. That is, sensors deployed on sea surface are floating continuously and the distribution of sensors varies all the time. Therefore, we shall make some modifications on existing protocols by using fuzzy membership function to decide the best choice of routing path to meet the requirement of sea surface networks. Also, adjusting the transmission range of sensor nodes comes to a better compromise between increasing the chances of reaching neighbor nodes and decreasing the possibility of fail to complete the packet delivery process because of lack of power.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"43 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":"126307550","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}

Several interesting symmetric properties of the resulting subfilter coefficients are rigorously proved and also illustrated through examples.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"91 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":"125865007","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, we analyze the trade-off between the transmission capacity and the outage probability when downlink signals from two geographically separated antennas are combined. It is demonstrated a significant reduction in the outage probability can be achieved while simultaneously improving the capacity, when signal combining is selectively performed based on the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) measurement at a given mobile station (MS). Experimental results show the outage (CIR less than 0 dB) probability reduces by 54.1% with the capacity increase of 7.4% for the fading channel condition.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"75 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":"125995739","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}

Generally, the fingerprint features contained in a fingerprint image, such as ridge line patterns and minutiae point, can be extracted from the DCT domain, and used for fingerprint matching. By considering the oscillate pattern contained in the top-left corner of DCT coefficients, we can divide those coefficients in curve-scanned fashion, extract DCT features from the divided DCT coefficients, and use them for matching purpose. To evaluate the proposed method, we use the k-NN classifier to measure the recognition rate, and compare the results obtained from our extraction method to that from the DWT based method [5] and the zigzag-scanned based method [6].

To approach the spatial multiuser diversity gain, three antenna selection algorithms are proposed, optimal, random and suboptimal antenna selection and their performance is evaluated in a single cell scenario. The optimal algorithm can achieve the best performance but has the highest complexity. The random algorithm has the worst performance but the lowest complexity.","PeriodicalId":282306,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications","volume":"45 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":"114502741","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}
