The information that is generated at the sensors depends on the sensing capabilities of the sensors as well as on the frequency at which events occur in their vicinity, captured by appropriate probability density functions. This information is then routed to a fixed set of access points via a multi-hop network whose links model the probability that information packets are correctly decoded at their intended destinations. The proposed distributed control scheme simultaneously optimizes coverage and routing of information by decoupling coverage and routing control. Specifically, optimization of the communication variables is performed periodically in the dual domain. Then, between communication rounds, the robots move according to the solution of a distributed sequential concave program that handles efficiently the introduced nonlinearities in the mobility space. Our method is illustrated in computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"76 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":"127459701","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 our model, both the macro-base station and femtocell access point operate in full-duplex where users attempt to connect either to the base station or the femtocell access point. A resource allocation problem is formulated to adjust the base station and the femtocell access point transmitting powers to maximize the downlink channel capacity while guaranteeing the uplink channel QoS by maintaining a certain channel capacity. In addition, a solution algorithm using the interior point method is proposed. Our results show that depending on the interference conditions, it can be decided when it is preferable to employ full-duplex and when it is more advantageous to use half-duplex.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"1 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":"129060117","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 propose a transmission power policy based on only 1-bit feedback of the CSI sent from the receiver (RX), for an EH communication system over Rayleigh fading channels. The RX periodically sends 1-bit feedback by comparing the channel power gain with a predetermined threshold. The TX adjusts transmission power based on the 1-bit feedback and its currently available energy. To obtain the optimal channel threshold and transmission power, we formulate a constrained optimization problem to maximize the throughput under an arbitrarily deterministic EH process. Constrained by the battery energy update process and channel state transition process, this problem follows a Markov decision process and can be solved via backward induction method. Simulation results show that our proposed policy has higher throughput performance than other policies.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"1 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":"129138830","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}

High precision ADCs are expensive in terms of power. The FFE block performs multiplication and addition operations at high speed and further increases the power consumption. This paper proposes a simple forward error correction method by which the ADC resolution and the equalizer complexity can be reduced. A single parity check code implemented together with a threshold detector can provide single error correction capability. With this error correction capability, the number of taps required in the FFE block is shown to be reduced to 3 taps from 6 taps for a channel with 15dB insertion loss at 5GHz frequency with the data rate being 20Gb/s. The effective number of bits (ENOB) required from the ADC is also shown to reduce to about 3.5 bits from 6 bits. The high rate of the code and the very simple decoder architecture make this error correction mechanism well suited for the wireline application.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"312 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":"124439686","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}

Moreover, the perceived world is not composed of pixels and through vision humans perceive structures. However, the acquisition and display systems discretize the world. Therefore, we need to consider pixels, structures and colors to model the quality of experience. Quality assessment methods use the pixel-wise and structural metrics whereas color science approaches use the patch-based color differences. In this work, we combine these approaches by extending CIEDE2000 formula with perceptual color difference to assess image quality. We examine how perceptual color difference-based metric (PCDM) performs compared to PSNR, CIEDE2000, SSIM, MS-SSIM and CW-SSIM on the LIVE database. In terms of linear correlation, PCDM obtains compatible results under white noise (97.9%), Jpeg (95.9%) and Jp2k (95.6%) with an overall correlation of 92.7%. We also show that PCDM captures color-based artifacts that can not be captured by structure-based metrics.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"17 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":"127224706","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}

A new structured deterministic sampling method known as the \"Generalized Nested Sampling\" is introduced which enables compressive quadratic sampling of symmetric Toeplitz matrices., by fully exploiting the inherent redundancy in the Toeplitz matrix. For a Toeplitz matrix of size N ×N, this sampling scheme can attain a compression factor of O(√N) even without assuming sparsity and/or low rank, and allows exact recovery of the original Toeplitz matrix. When the matrix is sparse, a new hybrid sampling approach is proposed which efficiently combines Generalized Nested Sampling and Random Sampling to attain even greater compression rates, which, under suitable conditions can be as large as O(√N), using a novel observation formulated in this paper.","PeriodicalId":362306,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"5 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":"130714168","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 the proposed active sparse sensing scheme, a central controller dynamically selects a small number of sensing locations according to the information revealed from past measurements, with the objective to minimize the expected level set estimation errors. The expected estimation error is explicitly expressed as a function of the sensing locations, and the results are used to formulate optimal and sub-optimal selection of sensing locations.

The work focuses on developing features and classification systems that can be used to classify content based on the impact on the cognitive, social and academic development of children according to an expertly assigned predefined positive or negative cognitive impact category. We solve the problem by developing novel features that gauge the amount of social interaction, attention disrupting fast-paced content, incorporate music information retrieval features and combine these features with other video content analysis features. This information is then used to determine what content has a positive impact on a child's development. It was found that the low-level features can be used for classification and do have correlation with expertly assigned predefined impact categories. To ensure the validation results are not based on similarities between content, a new model validation technique is developed to ensure that the videos are classified with respect to their impact on development. In addition, we developed a data set of videos that has been classified as having a positive or negative impact on children, based on expert experimental results in the psychological literature. This data set can be used as a benchmark for future research.
