Both ultra wideband (UWB) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies are relatively new in the marketplace with regard to their applicability and commercial implementation. While RFID is a passively attached tag, UWB simultaneously transmits data via extremely short pulses across a wide band of frequencies. The FCC has approved 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for its use. UWB can transmit more data with less interference than RFID; therefore, it appears promising for future applications. We explore the features and applications of UWB and RFID in this paper, and conclude with a comparison and contrast of these emerging technologies.","PeriodicalId":335683,"journal":{"name":"Symposium, 2005 Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115701559","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}

However, TR-UWB has problem that the data rate will be degraded when using the pulse-pair for transmitted one data bit. In this paper, a combined Pulse Position modulation (PPM), Differential BPSK and Multi-Pulse Modulation (MPM) have been proposed in order to increase the total data rate using the same number of pulses. By the these schemes, the modulated pulse that has ever been used for transmitted only one data bit in each pulse-pair in conventional TR-UWB system, can be used for transmitted more than one bit data depending on the level of MPM and PPM modulation. Moreover, the error performance has been upgraded by these modulation schemes as shown in the later section. In addition, the simulation results show that the total throughput performance of the proposed system has been improved, nearly 4-5 times when comparing with the conventional TR-UWB communication system","PeriodicalId":335683,"journal":{"name":"Symposium, 2005 Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125010361","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}

That is primarily due to 1) the fact that examination process is a complex and lengthy one and 2) it is not available to the majority of women who live in remote and urban sites. This problem can be solved using ad hoc-networking technologies and signal processing algorithms. Software modules can help detect true negatives (TN), while marking true positives (TP) for further investigation. This reduces the load on network and radiologists by a tremendous amount. Ad hoc networking equipment make clinic-lab connection more accessible and image enhancement algorithms readily available to the radiologists. In this research automatic robust computer assisted diagnostic (CAD) methods for mass detection in breast cancer have been associated with region of interest (ROI) compression for efficient transmission over ad hoc networks. This telemammography system for remote computer-aided breast cancer detection and diagnosis has the advantage of better reach of women for cancer screening and at the same time provides the diagnosis with higher efficiency, better accuracy, and lower cost.","PeriodicalId":335683,"journal":{"name":"Symposium, 2005 Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129676819","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 a multi-user OFDMA system is sensitive to carrier frequency offset which causes interferences among users, data loaded in subcarriers are easily damaged by the frequency offset. To mitigate the effect of the frequency offset, every mobile station needs to accurately and rapidly acquire synchronization. The proposed algorithm uses only one preamble symbol in which two kinds of subcarriers are designed for coarse and fine frequency offset estimation. The non-data aided estimation using the energy spectrum is exploited for fine offset estimation, and maximum likelihood estimation using correlation for coarse offset estimation. By combining the two estimation results, an accurate frequency offset can be estimated with a single symbol. Through simulations, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing estimation error variance with a conventional method.","PeriodicalId":335683,"journal":{"name":"Symposium, 2005 Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121430261","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}

GPS serves well for most outdoor applications; however, its dependence on satellites makes it ineffective in indoor environments. Several technologies such as infrared sensing, radio frequency, ultrasonic and RFIDs have been proposed for indoor location sensing. Each of these methods has its own merits and shortcomings. Recently there has been an increase in the use of commodity wireless technologies like 802.11 or Bluetooth for indoor location positioning. Since BT and WLAN don't get along very well, the paper presents experimental results of interference effect of one technology on the other. These results help in determining which of these two technologies is more suitable for location sensing applications. The paper also presents two techniques of how Bluetooth technology can be used (with and without the use of signal strength information) for location sensing.

A diversity gain concept is usually used for diversity evaluations. The motivation to this work is to offer to service providers a simpler way to evaluate possibilities of the site diversity employment for specific scenarios instead of power balance calculations of every potential diversity connection. Outage improvement was studied using space-time simulations of a point-to-multipoint system in a specific area under a specific rain conditions. Large rain event database for Czech Republic was build for the simulations utilizing time sequences of rainfall radar images for 50/spl times/50 km area. System outage improvement probability was derived as a straightforward function of the rain fade margin, angle separation and distances of main and diversity hubs. Some of the simulation results at 42 GHz and corresponding outage improvement probability using the site diversity are presented as well.","PeriodicalId":335683,"journal":{"name":"Symposium, 2005 Wireless Telecommunications","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114800563","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}
