State of art speech separation algorithms based on statistical, auditory, and signal processing approaches are evaluated and results are discussed. Algorithms are evaluated for synthetic and real speech mixtures. Experimental results shows that multichannel speech separation algorithms perform better than single channel for artificial speech mixtures and for real speech mixtures the efficacy of signal processing approach compared with other two in terms of subjective evaluation.","PeriodicalId":6858,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET)","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89816240","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}

However, these deployments have constrained by the resources such as power, memory, processing power etc. In order to enhance the reliability and life-time of these networks, it is necessary to develop algorithms that minimize the resource usage. In sensor networks, the topology places a key role in optimizing the resources. If we design a proper topology, a large area can be covered with relatively less number of nodes compared to the normal flat/clustering techniques. This research work deals with creating optimum network topologies that minimizes delay and makes efficient use of available buffer size, lesser intermediate nodes and so on. This paper discusses a set of schemes that design suitable networks under the constraints such as varying data rate, varying packet size and so on. This work discusses schemes that find the optimal number of intermediate nodes for a given set of lower level nodes with varying data rates. This work also discusses a set of algorithms that chooses maximum number of lower level nodes for a given set of intermediate nodes with limited buffer.","PeriodicalId":6858,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET)","volume":"71 4","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91514620","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}

Thus, electroencephalographic (EEG) activity was measured during mental rotation of objects by various angles with respect to its present orientation. Source localization using eLORETA inferred an enhanced activation of pre-frontal and frontal lobe regions during mental rotation activity. Experimental analysis also confirmed maximal activation of lower alpha frequency band while performing this cognitive task. Differential Evolutionary (DE) algorithm has been implemented to select the optimal features which are represented using the Feature Descriptor diagrams. These diagrams infer that the feature patterns are distinct and vary from object to object. Moreover, these patterns orient by $45^{mathrm {o}}$ for $90^{mathrm {o}}$ mental rotation and by $75^{mathrm {o}}$ for $180^{mathrm {o}}$ mental rotation of the presented objects. However, there exists an inconsistency in the Feature descriptor diagrams for patients suffering from pre-frontal lobe amnesia and Alzheimer's disease. It is also found that these diagrams remain unaffected during mental rotation which infers their incapability to perform such a cognitive task. Hence, this work can be effectively utilized to detect people suffering from memory related disorder.","PeriodicalId":6858,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET)","volume":"2000 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86232210","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}

A mobile sink is typically a mobile robot or a small vehicle, consisting of a powerful transceiver, high powered battery and a large memory. Typically the sensor nodes are deployed randomly resulting in multiple WSN partitions. Clusters are formed based on these partitions and relay nodes (RNs) are deployed as cluster heads (CHs) using meta heuristic algorithms. The deployed RNs perform the role of single hop data acquisition from the sensor nodes and relaying it to the sink thereby maintaining the data delivery latency. In this paper, three mobile sink traversal techniques are simulated for data collection purpose. The results obtained through extensive simulations demonstrate the superiority of Bat algorithm for relay node placement.","PeriodicalId":6858,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET)","volume":"38 3 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89148172","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}

Different schemes have been proposed over these years for the generation, encoding and decoding of polar codes. Any N bits of data can be polar coded and can be transmitted through any channel. An important area of research is the decoder part and one of the widely used methods of decoding is successive cancellation. The reduced complexity is an attractive feature of this trending coding scheme with an overall encoding and decoding complexity of O (NlogN) for a block length of N.

In this process, Privacy of users is at severe risk because recommender servers may share user’s private data with third parties to make personalized advertisements and in some cases user privacy may be exposed to the public or attacked by malicious users. The existing works are based on encryption-based and randomization-based techniques, but they compromise accuracy for privacy and privacy for accuracy. In this project, Privacy Preserving Collaborative Filtering approach has been proposed which solves the limitations in the existing works. This work adopts fuzzy logic to deal with uncertainty among user’s interest ratings. The fuzzified data is then perturbated by applying random rotation perturbation technique, thus the user’s interest is not directly available for the recommendation server or the third-party. Using the perturbated data, item clusters are formed by utilizing ant-based clustering algorithm. These clusters help the recommendation server to apply item-collaborative filtering for the recommendation process. In order to refine the cluster center provided by ant-based clustering process K-Means clustering algorithm is applied. The pheromone values obtained during the ant-based clustering is further utilized by the recommender server in order to provide accurate recommendation to the active user.","PeriodicalId":6858,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET)","volume":"215 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74838665","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 procedure demands dedicated space, thus limiting its usage to indoor environments. In this paper, we present a novel wearable wireless inertial sensor (i-Sens)-based design for estimation of joint angle in the sagittal plane. The i-Sens hardware comprises of triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope sensors, microcontroller and Bluetooth module. It is portable and can be readily used in indoor and outdoor settings. A novel simplified complementary filter algorithm was incorporated in the design for sensor data fusion. Four normal volunteers were chosen to test the sensor; they wore the sensor at knee level on one side, and assessed its performance while walking in both outdoor and indoor environments. The data was transmitted wirelessly through Bluetooth to the data acquisition system. The gait parameters of the subjects were compared with normative reference data. At the initial contact phase of the gait cycle, mean and standard deviation of knee angle was 3.6° ± 3.5°, while the maximum swing phase knee flexion angle was 67.8° ± 4.5°, which is within the normative data range, suggesting accuracy of the joint angle estimation. Hence, i-Sens can be useful for movement analysis of the lower limb. Further clinical trials are required to validate the sensor at different joints (ankle, knee and hip) under various pathological and environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":6858,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET)","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75641686","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 promised benefits of 3DModBH in such interference scenario disappear for the system configuration with four receive antennas, showing poorer performance than SoAT. The analytical and numerical results show that 3DModBH is capable to outperform the SoAT in high UE density interference scenario by increasing the number of receive antennas.
