Among wavelength assignment methods, circle construction for all-to-all uniform traffic is of great importance because these circles can be used for wavelength assignment under non-uniform traffic conditions. In this paper, we propose a matrix based circle construction algorithm for all-to-all uniform traffic in a bidirectional SONET/WDM ring. This algorithm divides all-to-all uniform traffic into a group of full circles and so results in an efficient wavelength assignment.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115449370","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}

Unlike most previous estimators which use samples from a noiseless channel, new estimators which use samples from a noisy Ricean or Nakagami-m fading channel, respectively, are proposed. In contrast to the previous work, the noise power in the channel is assumed unknown. Both maximum likelihood designs and moment-based designs are considered. The performances of the new estimators are examined and compared with those of previous estimators derived in the literature. Numerical results show that the new estimators outperform corresponding estimators in the literature when both are operating in noisy environments.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127383033","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 develop a shape-directed fundus image scaling method for the ophthalmology CAD system in which a blood vessels extraction tool is also provided. The method first applies two kinds of functions to record the extracted blood vessels in order to maintain the shape of blood vessels including curvature and relative width at any resolution. The scaling procedure is then directed by these functions and the scaled image with this method has good shape maintenance of blood vessels without jag or blur border usually brought by other methods. The experiment results verify the effectiveness of our method and the measurement of the cross-correlation coefficient between the original image and the scaled image shows the correction of the interpolation kernel selection according to the Fluency information theory.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125288357","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 high-level and low-level optimization techniques have been concurrently employed in this work to improve the run-time performance of the codec. Improvement in performance has been evaluated through the reduction in MIPS count for each optimization step.

For coded modulation, the error free feedback bound (EF bound) of the bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) for both perfect and imperfect CSI is developed. We show that asymptotically, the error floor generated due to imperfect CSI depends on the fading parameter and the power correlation coefficient between the fading coefficient and its estimate.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124947757","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}
