In fact, there is no doubt that in the near future, every company and perhaps every person in the world will have an physical or wireless Internet access via an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Thus, the Internet became a very complex global network which represents an opportunity to provide worldwide value-added services requiring a certain level of quality of service (QoS) such as QoS-VPN (Virtual Private Network), VoD (Video On Demand). telelearning, e-Cornmerce, etc. Thus, we propose in this work to extend this approach in order to integrate new mechanisms that will allow customers to request end-to-end services. This assurance covers the QoS as well as associated parameters such as cost. The proposed solution introduces interoperability mechanisms between ISP policy based management systems and uses mobile agents to facilitate the negotiation between domains. The agent negotiation process is constrained by a set of predefined policies in order to limit the boundaries of the SLA parameters such as the cost.

This procedure aims to reduce the inter-speaker variability of speech signals in order to obtain a robust automatic speech recognition system. Two additional methods are also described: one for reducing the environment variability and another for compensating the coarticulation effects on connected word pronunciation. En vironment variability is compensated by explicitly modeling some frequent noise phenomena. Coarticulation phenomena compensation reduces speech signal variability by modeling events that result from coarticulation between adjacent mod els. Inter-speaker variability removal is performed by a traditional speaker normalization method, which consists in expanding or compressing the Mel filterbank bandwidths, in order to normalize the Vocal Tract Length (VTL) of each speaker. Most of the existing methods for VTL estimation are based on formant estimation, but the difficulty of formant estimation is a known performance limitation. The proposed method over comes such a problem since it estimates the warping factor through pitch. The recognition results, obtained for a tele phone digit recognition task (with phones and sub words as units), prove that this procedure leads to similar improve ments to those obtained with traditional methods based on formant estimates, actually outperforming them in some sit uations.","PeriodicalId":310988,"journal":{"name":"Anais do 2002 International Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124599127","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 paper discusses several design aspects of a broadband. low-power turbo codec owning features that enable its application in the incoming decade systems. The presented ideas were applied to an 80 Mb/s, 2 nJ/bit turbo codec core with latency smaller than 10ms.

At each time, the n p -ary coded symbols are transmitted simultaneously from the n antennas. The convolutional codes are designed to provide the best error performance in the quasi-static, flat Rayleigh fading channel, according to the rank and the determinant criteria derived by Tarokh et al. A spectral efficiency of log 2 ( p ) b/s/Hz is achieved. Simple conditions on the generator matrices of a rate R = 1/2 convolutional code are given so that maximum diversity advantage is guaranteed. The linear structure of these convolutional codes reduces significantly the computer search effort with respect to the determinant criterion. In this regard, some properties of reciprocal STC's are derived. New space-time codes with two transmit antennas are presented for the 5-PSK and 7-PSK modulations, with spectral efficiencies 2.32 and 2.81 b/s/Hz, respectively. Simulation results in the form of frame error rate versus signal-to-noise ratio are reported for these codes, showing agreement with the theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":310988,"journal":{"name":"Anais do 2002 International Telecommunications Symposium","volume":"3 Suppl N 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133326681","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 a Bayesian framework, this residual orthogonal mixing matrix becomes a random ob ject in its own right, with an associated distribution over the group of orthogonal matrices. This distribution is induced by the prior on the mixing matrix, and must be known for opti mum statistical processing.
