Their diversity order has been investigated in recent works. These showed that the NLD achieves only the receive diversity and that MMSE-GDFE left preprocessing followed by NLD or its approximations achieves the maximum diversity. All the theoretical results have so far focused on the diversity order but this is not the only relevant parameter to achieve good performance and the coding gain also needs to be considered. In addition, up to now there has not been any numerical analysis of the actual performance of these techniques for the coded systems for moderate SNR. In this paper, we consider MIMO systems using high-dimensional perfect space-time codes. We show that by adding MMSE-GDFE preprocessing, the NLD has a loss of only 1.5 dB with respect to optimal decoding in the case of the Perfect Code 4×4. However, even with MMSE-GDFE preprocessing, the performance of lattice-reduction aided linear receivers is still very poor for high-dimensional lattices.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129896354","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 such long reverberant channels that demand high computational complexity, turbo detectors based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion are an attractive solution to achieve a good balance between performance and complexity. Two different synchronous IDMA structures are studied and applied to signals acquired during sea trials in the North Sea; firstly, a channel estimation (CE) based IDMA with Rake reception, and secondly, an adaptive interference canceller (IC-IDMA). Both schemes include phase tracking, channel coding and are based on a chip-rate equalization and detection, which are fed in by a composite multiuser signal of the users' feedback soft information. Experimental results of three different channel ranges demonstrate that the direct adaptive receiver has better performance and additionally mitigates the errors associated with the CE based IDMA receiver while maintaining lower complexity.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132356913","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 the problem of texture classification is considered based on testing the covariance matrices and mean vectors. This allows us to determine the class of different images without the necessity of the training data. The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test is derived in order to classify several images. To make the classification robust to illuminance changes, we assume that the means of different images in one group, could differ by a constant value. Consequently the proposed test is invariant to the constant difference in the means of observations in each group. Computer simulations also confirm the efficiency of the classifier in dealing with the images with different illumination conditions.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125466448","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}

By representing the non-homogeneous clutter in a low-rank subspace with different subspace coefficients for different transmit-receive pairs, a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), which is referred to as the MIMO-GLRT, was introduced. The MIMO-GLRT, however, is a centralized detector requiring the distributed receivers to send their local observations to a fusion center, which performs parameter estimation and computes a global test variable. In this paper, we consider distributed detection for the moving target problem. The goal is to reduce the communication overhead as well as power/bandwidth consumptions from the receivers to the fusion center. We consider two distributed implementations of the MIMO-GLRT, with or without local data aggregation. Specifically, the one that performs local aggregation computes a single local test statistic at each receive antenna, by using the outputs of all matched filters (each matched to a waveform unique to one transmit antenna); meanwhile, the one that does not perform local aggregation computes multiple local test statistics, one for each matched filter output. In both cases, the local unquantized test statistics from all receive antennas are forwarded to the fusion center and non-coherently combined to form a final test variable. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the performance loss with respect to the centralized MIMO-GLRT and compare with another distributed MIMO moving target detector based on a homogeneous assumption.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133107708","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}
