Else, errors in spectrum sensing arises which either causes interference between transmission from primary and secondary users, or the secondary user misses an opportunity of transmission causing under usage of available spectrum bands. Thus an optimal threshold value must be determined for minimum error. Here, initially, a Death Penalty based Differential Evolution (DPDE) algorithm is proposed for constrained optimization and based on the proposed DPDE, a threshold adaptation algorithm is designed for dynamic sensing error minimization in changing environment. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with previously proposed gradient descend based threshold adaptation algorithm and was found to be faster and more accurate.","PeriodicalId":283953,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Annual India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128519323","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 digital systems, ALU handles arithmetic operations. However, ALU is not suitable for handling operations on real numbers as the result may not be precise and accurate. Hence to perform operations on real numbers digital systems use a dedicated unit called floating point unit(FPU). In this paper, the designed FPU is single precision and operates on IEEE - 754 - 2008 format. The available arithmetic operations on this FPU are floating point multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. The designed FPU can operate on both normal(normalized) and subnormal(denormalized) numbers present in floating point numbers. In this paper, stuck-at fault model using Built in self test(BIST) method is designed for the floating point unit to check the fault in the design. Basic idea behind the BIST is testing the device by itself. The proposed design is modified for parallel testing by dividing the FPU into 3 independent blocks. In this method when one of the blocks is in its normal operation the other block of the FPU is tested in parallel. The design's RTL code is written in Verilog HDL and Xilinx Vivado 2015 is used for simulation. The proposed method reduces the dynamic power by 10.47% compared to the conventional method.","PeriodicalId":283953,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Annual India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130600148","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}

Wherein, the CA feature widens the transmission bandwidth by aggregating multiple Component Carriers (CCs) to meet the demand for higher data rate. To the best of our knowledge, till now available literatures have not addressed the challenges related to presence of multiple carriers in a base station system which usually results in the problem of user load imbalance among carriers due to improper and static user load assignment across CCs. In this paper, to solve the above challenges, we present a Dynamic and Optimal CC Load Balancing Scheme (DOCC-LBS) for user assignment across CCs via Multi-Objective Optimizations in which both, core network traffic load and channel quality conditions of CC are taken into account. The proposed novel dynamic load balancing scheme effectively balances the user load across CCs while achieving high user throughput. The analytical model and simulation results reveal that under the proposed mechanism the average user throughput doubles when compared with existing load balancing schemes such as Round Robin (RR) and Maximum Component Carrier to Interference (MCCI).","PeriodicalId":283953,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Annual India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130445742","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}

We empirically found that ninety minutes of duration gave the optimal classification results after exploring with different heart rate variability (HRV) time durations. We obtained a classification accuracy of 92.85% for our baseline system using linear SVM kernel. In this work, the input statistical features consists of patient independent and patient specific variations. The patient specific variations were considered as noise in the input feature vector, while patient independent variations as informative. In this work, we experimented with two approaches. The first approach used was principal component analysis (PCA) to obtain dimensionality reduced features with maximum information stored. We obtained a performance improvement of 0.65% absolute over the baseline system. In the second approach, covariance normalization (CVN) was used to remove/minimize the effect of patient specific variations. The overall system performance was improved by 1.96% absolute over the baseline system.","PeriodicalId":283953,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Annual India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126391156","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 method focuses mainly on applying k-means clustering in parallel to all blocks of each component of the image to reduce the compression time.

During phase I, the vision sensor and image processing unit is activated. Two independent image processing techniques are used to generate a hazard mask of the landing territory. The mask generation involves morphological and local variance based techniques which are computationally efficient and suitable for real time applications.
