The increase in performance pushed their wide adoption, including for bio-signal. Multiple researchers explored their use of electroencephalography in many scenarios, including motor imagery. Despite the myriad of implementations, their achievement varies from one subject to another since the signals are delicate. In this paper, we extend our previous research (Riyad and Adib 2024) by suggesting a new implementation. The proposal employs the Convolutional Block Attention Module as a backbone with a few modifications adjusted for the nature of the electroencephalography. It uses three levels of attention that are performed on the channel, time, and electrode individually known as Channel Attention Module (CAM), Time Attention Module (TAM), and Electrode Attention Module (EAM). The compartmentalization authorizes the placing of the attention sub-block in diverse configurations, each with a specific order that impacts the extraction of the feature. Also, we suggest studying them with two structures, one with an early spatial filtering that uses the new block once and a late spatial filtering that uses the attention twice. For the experiments, we test on the dataset 2b of the BCI competition IV. The results show that placing the CAM first and feeding its output to the TAM and EAM boost the performance drastically. For optimal results, it is necessary to use the new attention once at the beginning of the network. Also, it permits an even classification of the classes compared with the others.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50761,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Telecommunications","volume":"80 and networking","pages":"547 - 555"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145166579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this method, the message signal is modulated by an array of antennas and transmitted in a specific direction toward the legitimate receiver, in such a way that the signal is degraded and not receivable correctly by eavesdroppers in other directions. By employing directional modulation based on a random frequency diverse array, secure communication can be achieved in two-dimensional space, including angle and distance, for the legitimate receiver. The secrecy performance of directional modulation based on a random frequency diverse array is considerably dependent on the information available to the transmitter side about the receiver’s location. In wireless cellular networks where the receiver’s location may change at any moment, there will be inherent errors in estimating the receiver’s location. The occurrence of errors in estimating the angle and distance between the legitimate receiver and the transmitter leads to a significant reduction in the system’s secrecy rate. In this article, a new solution is proposed to increase the robustness against errors in estimating the legitimate receiver’s location by an optimization process based on the minimum mean square error criterion. This solution leads to the improvement of the physical layer security by employing random frequency diverse array directional modulation in the presence of estimation errors. Simulation results indicate an enhancement in the secrecy rate performance of the physical layer in wireless networks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50761,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Telecommunications","volume":"80 7-8","pages":"699 - 710"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145165495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve performance, we propose a system that combines acoustic and linguistic information. This work explores a novel multimodal approach for emotion recognition that combines speech and text data. This fusion strategy aims to outperform the traditional single-modality systems. Both early and late fusion techniques are investigated in this paper. Our findings show that combining modalities in a late fusion approach enhances system performance. In this late fusion architecture, the outputs from the acoustic deep learning network and the linguistic network are fed into two stacked dense neural network (NN) layers to predict valence, arousal, and dominance as continuous values.

Nevertheless, digital identities have not come without their own set of new challenges.

In this letter, a novel SM architecture embedding linear frequency modulation (LFM) principle is proposed. In the resulting SM-LFM scheme, the data block is split into the signal and the antenna index parts, and prior to its transmission, distinctly assigns a different LFM chirp (up or down) to be mixed up with the SM block, depending on the index of the antenna to be activated. When the antenna index is even, the associated chirp is up, while the down chirp is retained otherwise. Similarly, the proposed SM-LFM receiver part consists of two main parts: the LFM chirp recognizer and the tuned SM detector. In the former, the received signal is fed to the two up and down LFM chirp-correlators, and the chirp selected at the transmitter is retrieved by an energy comparator. The target behind the incorporation of the LFM chirps, between each adjacent antennas-pair, is to mitigate the miss-estimation of the antenna indices at the receiver side. Depending upon the detected chirp, in the tuned SM detector, only the signals (indices and symbols) emanating from even- or odd-indexed antennas are processed. The performance of the resulting scheme is investigated by adopting a channel model, which considers the effects of estimation errors and antenna correlation. Two modified detectors which adapt to the LFM signaling are investigated, namely the iterative maximum ratio combining (i-MRC) and the maximum likelihood (ML) detectors. The improvement provided, by adopting LFM concept in SM, is shown in terms of data reliability and complexity reduction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50761,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Telecommunications","volume":"80 7-8","pages":"591 - 597"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145161838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
