Conventional noncoherent integration followed by CFAR can be greatly desensitized when the noise energy varies from dwell to dwell. The new rules are robust to dwell to dwell variations in noise energy, providing CFAR and minimizing detection loss. For slow fluctuation target models the locally most powerful decision rule outperforms conventional NCI even in stationary noise conditions. In addition, a composite test is provided that outperforms all individual binary integration (BI) M out of N tests independent of target fluctuation model and is suitable for distributed detection.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"66 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":"125512682","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}

Individual tasks compete for constrained resources and thus need resource mediation algorithms at two levels. First, different sensors must be allocated to different tasks based on the combination of sensor attributes and task requirements. Subsequently, sensor data rates on various data routes must be dynamically adapted to share the available wireless bandwidth, especially when links experience traffic congestion. In this paper we investigate heuristics for incrementally modifying the sensor-task matching process to incorporate changes in the transport capacity constraints or feasible task utility values.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"12 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":"126819117","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}

As a result, many researchers have fallen back on suboptimal heuristic algorithms. In a recent paper, we demonstrate that ergodic rate maximization is possible using a dual optimization framework that results in a practically optimal solution with complexity that is on the order of the number of subcarriers times the number of users. One of the primary disadvantages of considering ergodic rates is the assumption that the channel distribution information (CDI) is perfectly known at the transmitter. Therefore, this paper proposes an adaptive algorithm based on stochastic approximation methods that do not require knowledge of the CDI. This algorithm converges to the optimal solution with probability one, while for each OFDMA symbol, the complexity is on the order of the number of subcarriers times the number of users. There are no iterations in a given OFDMA symbol time; instead, the ldquoiterationsrdquo are actually performed across time (symbols). Simulation results based roughly on a third-generation partnership project, long-term evolution (3GPP-LTE) OFDMA system corroborate our claims.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"10 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":"114933510","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}

For a multi-antenna receiver, this paper proposes such an approach which relies on optimum combining of the signals from the different receive antennas. The ICI is characterized in terms of a frequency-selective interference function, which can be estimated by simple means using common pilot signals.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"23 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":"115180471","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 proposed method assumes a parameterized probabilistic model for coded data and utilizes a maximum likelihood parameter estimation technique to estimate the model's parameters. The proposed method achieves a robust estimation of the rate based on the estimated probability of each coefficient based on zero order entropy. The rate estimation via maximum likelihood parameter estimation enjoys lower computational complexity, compared to the actual entropy coding of the data. For the purpose of rate estimation we consider a number of options to estimate the parameters of the probabilistic model of coded data. In the context optimal mode selection within the H.264/AVC video codec, the rate estimation method is used to estimate a Lagrangian rate-distortion cost which would be minimized for the optimal mode. The experimental results show that the proposed method considerably reduces the computational complexity while maintaining almost the same rate-distortion coding efficiency compared to mode selection using the actual rate.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"52 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":"116041740","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 paper presents the solutions adopted for the signal acquisition and tracking for the N-Gene fully software receiver. The acquisition algorithm is a variant of the classical \"fast acquisition algorithm\" where the signal correlation is obtained in time domain by means of two Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) and a single inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). A solution for improving the tracking performance in case of low C/N0, is also proposed. The work on the signal tracking focuses on a robust normalization of the discrimination functions within the tracking loops. The algorithms are presented highlighting case by case the advantages both in terms of computational complexity, robustness and performance.","PeriodicalId":416114,"journal":{"name":"2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers","volume":"158 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":"116110072","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}

To solve this optimization problem, first we find the optimal power allocation for a given subchannel allocation. Then we focus on a greedy algorithm that jointly allocates subchannels and power.

For this purpose, we use the ergodic capacity as a criterion for information-theoretic analysis. In the first case, the transmit power is the same for all pairs. In a more opportunistic case, different transmit pairs use different transmit powers according to their channel realizations. Then, for a given rate requirement C, we derive the optimal close-talker distance that meets the requirement for a given power P.
