We also show that coherence can still be detected in noisy bivariate time series data even if the individual power spectra fail to show any peaks.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

This method is very useful in analyzing waves as it enables us to track the variation of frequency and amplitude of a wave with time and space. The method has an added advantage that we can obtain the predominant spatial scales over a particular region, the temporal scales associated with them and their time of occurrence.

The speaker recognition studies infer that the residual phase contains significant speaker-specific information and it is indeed captured by the AANN models.

Computational simplicity and scope for efficient and compact hardware realization makes the scheme suitable for mobile applications. By manipulating different sets of coefficients in the Hadamard transform-domain it is possible to practice steganography satisfying different criteria like transparency, capacity and survivability. It is also shown that this transform has an edge over many other popular transforms for data embedding in real-time over resource constrained wireless networks.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

It is well known that for codes based on orthogonal designs, maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding reduces to symbol-by-symbol decoding. However, this simplicity of decoding is achieved at the expense of symbol rate. It is natural to ask if the symbol rate can be increased if the code construction allows ML decoding to reduce to pairwise decoding of symbols. Our work attempts to answer this question by describing a method of designing pairwise decodable codes for any number of transmit antennas based on the linear dispersion (LD) code framework. We then show that for codes designed using this method, ML decoding can be reduced to pairwise decoding of symbols. For the case of M=3 and M=4 transmit antennas, we provide error-performance simulation results for these codes.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

Starting from propagation studies available in the literature, we obtain an analytical framework for information-theoretic design prescriptions that, compared to conventional space-time communication strategies, improve performance while reducing transceiver complexity. We introduce the notion of implicit feedback, applicable to both TDD and FDD systems, in which the base station learns the spatial covariance of the downlink spatial channel by averaging uplink measurements across frequency. We develop rules of thumb for optimizing antenna spacing for systems with such \"free\" feedback and show that the number of antennas at the base station can be scaled up, thus increasing the beamforming gain, without any increase in complexity at the mobile. Spatial covariance estimation also simplifies receiver processing on the uplink, enabling a novel method of noncoherent eigenbeamforming, which yields beamforming gains without explicit channel estimation. Key to these results is the observation that, for appropriately spaced antenna elements, a typical outdoor cellular channel has a small number of dominant spatial eigenmodes, even as the number of antenna elements at the base station is scaled up.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

Power control can enhance the available bandwidth by allowing non-interfering nodes to communicate simultaneously. A number of power aware topology control algorithms have been proposed, where low power transmissions are used to forward data. However evaluating the power level for the data packets is not sufficient. Reliable transmission of the data packets in a shared channel network requires a number of signalling messages at the medium access channel (MAC) layer. The transmission power of the signalling messages is crucial for both reliable access and channel reuse. We propose a distributed range assignment algorithm (DRA). That can be applied to a power aware topology control algorithm, to evaluate an appropriate power for the signalling messages. A worked example and a simulation based analysis of DRA applied to a Distributed Relative Neighbourhood Graph is provided. Furthermore, a study on the impact of the transmission range, on the power usage and channel reuse is conducted.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

The coupled mode theory (CMT) is used for the analysis of symmetric, antisymmetric, reflection and transmission modes. Here we propose a novel approach for analyzing a fiber-grating filter in transmission mode.
