Such an equalizer is useful for extending the dynamic range of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Our proposed architecture is a polyphase extension to other architectures that partition the Volterra kernel into small nonlinear filters with relatively low computational complexity. Our semi-blind identification technique addresses important practical concerns in the equalizer identification process. We describe our architecture and demonstrate its performance with measured results when applied to a National Semiconductor ADC081000.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121419775","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}

This sets up the possibility of cooperation among the nodes. To study the role of cooperation in interference management, we consider a two-user linear deterministic interference channel where the source/destination nodes can both talk and listen. We focus on the symmetric channel with nodes operating in full-duplex. We characterize the sum capacity exactly. This reveals a reciprocity between the cases where the sources cooperate and the destinations cooperate.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126757974","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}

An algorithm for robust power allocation is designed to minimize the total transmit power while simultaneously satisfying predefined users' quality-of-service targets with certain probabilities. The solution is found to be significantly less conservative comparing to the strategies based on worst-case optimization.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121046344","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 objective is to develop robust quantizers in the events of link outages and/or sensor failures for a K-sensor fusion model (K > 2). To this end, we propose two different design procedures. The first is formulated as a constrained optimization problem and achieves guaranteed performance given any subset of local decisions available at a fusion center. The second approach is a channel-aware design using an explicit erasure channel model, which provides a balanced detection performance under transmission loss. We show that for both designs the optimal quantizers are in the forms of likelihood ratio tests. The corresponding thresholds can be determined through iterative algorithms. We further demonstrate that the channel-aware approach is more practical and suitable for large-scale WSN applications in terms of low implementation complexity.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121134933","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}

Scenarios in which the relay decodes both messages are considered. An achievable rate region is derived and evaluated for Gaussian channels. A simple encoding scheme is employed that does not include rate-splitting at the encoders and/or the relay. The obtained results demonstrate the gains from interference forwarding in certain scenarios: the relay optimally splits its power between sending the desired message and the interference. Thus, instead of only message forwarding, the relay uses some of its power to facilitate interference cancelation at the destination node.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121215185","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}
