In order to merge multi positioning techniques on smart phone, a five-layer software architecture is developed on Symbian S60 platform. Moreover, the implementations of the solutions are described in the paper. Finally, we evaluate the performances of time consumption and positioning accuracy of the solutions according to the experiments on Nokia N95.","PeriodicalId":408299,"journal":{"name":"2009 First International Conference on Advances in Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122064412","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 multiresolution support provides a suitable framework for noise filtering and image restoration by noise suppression. The procedure used is to determine statistically significant wavelet coefficients and from this to specify the multiresolution support. In the third section, we introduce the algorithms Generalized Multiresolution Noise Removal, and Noise Feature Principal Component Analysis. The algorithm Generalized Multiresolution Noise Removal extends the Multiresolution Noise Removal algorithm to the case of general uncorrelated Gaussian noise, and Noise Feature Principal Component Analysis algorithm allows the restoration of an image using a noise decorrelation process. A comparative analysis of the performance of the algorithms Generalized Multiresolution Noise Removal and Noise Feature Principal Component Analysis is experimentally performed against the standard Adaptive Mean Variance Restoration and Minimum Mean Squared Error algorithms. In the fourth section, we propose the Compression Shrinkage Principal Component Analysis algorithm and its model-free version as Shrinkage-Principal Component Analysis based methods for noise removal and image restoration. A series of conclusive remarks are supplied in the final section of the paper.","PeriodicalId":408299,"journal":{"name":"2009 First International Conference on Advances in Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126667284","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}

Three models including Product Quality Information Tree (PQIT), Product Quality Information Model of Lifecycle (PQIML) and Feature Model of Quality Problem (FMQP) are proposed to describe the all-sided quality information of the product in each period of the developing process. On the basis of these models, the systematic quality control method including the method of product quality prediction, process quality management, quality problem tracing and quality analysis and decision-making is presented to manage and control the aerospace product. At last, the application of this method is discussed in real quality management of rate gyroscope to demonstrate the efficiency of this method.

The proposed solution relies on the underlay transmission of low-power emergency signals in the frequency band of a primary transparent satellite telecommunication system. Wideband spreading is used so as to guarantee that the primary system performance is not affected by the inter-system interference. The emergency system capacity is evaluated under realistic assumptions regarding the primary satellite mission. It is shown that depending on the emergency terminal characteristics, various emergency communication services can be envisaged, from simple alert missions to voice communications. As it does not require any specific space segment development nor the full-time reservation of expensive radio resources, the described solution is attractive in terms of deployment cost. Provided an extension of the regulatory framework for exceptional security-oriented missions, it might satisfactorily match a governmental need for reliable, easy-to-deploy emergency communication means.","PeriodicalId":408299,"journal":{"name":"2009 First International Conference on Advances in Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128687626","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}

Broadband satellite systems, for their characteristics in terms of coverage and flexibility, can be the best solution for this type of scenarios. Nevertheless, although satellite systems allow a global coverage over the railways, the channel related to a high-speed train is characterized by frequent signal outages due to tunnels, steel covered bridges and powerline trellises. In particular, trellises, always and periodically present along the railroad, cause frequent obstructions of the line of sight, which implies packet loss that significantly affects TCP performance. In fact, standard TCP based on classical congestion control mechanisms is required to perform continuous restart of the algorithm. In this paper, the use of a new TCP protocol called TCP Noordwijk is proposed. It is based on burst transmission concept, which matches optimally with channel characteristics. The advantages with respect to the standard TCP will be shown.","PeriodicalId":408299,"journal":{"name":"2009 First International Conference on Advances in Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127318183","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 hardware selection is fundamental to the successful implantation of the systems, which has to guarantee the quality of satellite services. Satellite channels can affect TCP/IP protocols, but these difficulties were overcome with correct system configuration. Despite the service being operated correctly, several tests had to be done periodically to improve it and check the satellite service conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel system for point to point bulk data delivery (e.g. video on demand) using IP over DVB-S and rateless coding of the source data to achieve better performance in terms of data transfer time and especially bit-efficiency. This mechanism will be compared to standard reliable TCP data transfer, and advantages and trade-offs will be illustrated.
