The objective is to minimize the competitive rate gap that is defined as the maximum gap between the optimal rates that can be achieved by the offline and online policies over all possible energy arrival profiles. A lower-bound on the competitive rate gap is derived and a new online policy is presented. The new online policy is shown to perform very close to the competitive rate gap lower-bound for any number of slots and to outperform previously proposed online policies, such us the myopic policy.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114473190","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 provide the first real evidence that the features they offer will provide beneficial modeling capabilities in wireless channel models, which are not just theoretically justified but practically observed. We demonstrate how to utilize the concept of copula modeling in wireless communications. In particular we show for the first time the existence of non-standard dependence features between multiple frequency bands in wireless fading channels using real observations. Classical approaches based on second order statistics are not able to detect such tail dependence features. To model this important feature we fit a mixture copula model based on members of the Archimedean family of copulas to real channel measurements. The channel measurements used in this work have been performed at the Barajas airport in Spain, in conjunction with the development of the AeroMACS system for airport surface communications. We give a physical interpretation on this phenomenon and discuss its impact on the design of wireless communication systems with regard to resource allocations.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123174415","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}

Galois field used for network coding should be a function of the total number of nodes in the networks. Thus, the larger the number of sources and relays the larger the Galois field, while keeping the same diversity order in relay-aided transmission. Furthermore, the modulation order and the Galois field are the same and this solution introduces a constraint on achievable rate and decoding complexity as network code and modulation cannot be chosen independently. In order to overcome this important limitation, in this paper we propose a splitting based approach where network coding and modulation are not necessarily the same. Our results show that if the modulation order is smaller than the Galois field; we are still able to achieve the same diversity order with lower decoding complexity.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123291225","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, the interference can potentially be used to boost the secrecy rate in wireless interference channels. This work studies the secrecy rate in a two-user interference network where unintended user may overhear one of the users, namely user 1. User 1 tunes its transmission power in order to maximize its secrecy rate as well as to maintain the quality of service at the other user's destination, user 2, while both user's power limits are considered. It is demonstrated that achieving a positive secrecy rate for user 1 only depends on the channel conditions and user 2's transmission power. Consequently, depending on the channel conditions, the exact threshold for user 2's transmission power which leads to a positive secrecy rate for user 1 is derived.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124426688","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}

The method takes advantage of the strong correlation between the RGB color channels and relies on the observation that in images the RGB components are often not over-exposed at the same position. Our solution operates on line profiles, making it ideally suited for hardware implementations. In addition to its low computational complexity, our method can accurately recover information in areas where one or two channels are over-exposed, while it reconstructs information in areas that are fully clipped. We show that our method outperforms previous algorithms through quantitative analysis and we demonstrate an important application of this type of solution in the context of high dynamic range image reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122614062","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 practice, the signature is of limited precision instead of being infinite due to the finite resolution in hardware. Such limited signature precision will degrade the TR focusing effect and thus the system performance. Although several works have been proposed to study the performance of TR system with one-bit signature, a general relation between the resolution of signature and the system performance has not been established to answer the question: how many bits are needed for TR systems to achieve desirable system performance? In the paper, we address the question by studying the TR system with limited signature precision. We derive theoretically the relationship between the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the quantization step. Through simulations, we find that for a typical TR system, 4-bit resolution for the signature is good enough to achieve good system performance.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127285488","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}
