Due to its small size and parallel arithmetic operations, Residue Number System (RNS) based data is well suitable for implementing various digital signalprocessing functions that are commonly used in many consumer electronic devices nowadays. This paper presents the design of the RNS to Binary reverse converter which is typically the bottleneck in an RNS based signalprocessing system. Specifically, it describes a pipelined parallel prefix based modular adders which is used to implement the reverse converter for the {2 k -1, 2 k , 2 k +1} moduli set based RNS system.

small cell is a flexible solution to satisfy the continuously increasing wireless traffic demand. In this paper, we focus on on-off switch operation on small cell base stations (SBS) in heterogeneous networks. In our scenario, the users can either choose SBS when it is active or macro cell base station (MBS) to transmit data. Start-up energy cost is considered when SBS switches on. The whole network acts as a queueing system, and network latency is also under consideration. The network traffic is modeled by a Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) whose parameters are unknown to the network control center. To maximize the system reward, we introduce a reinforcement learning approach to obtain the optimal on-off switch policy. The learning procedure is defined as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). An estimation method is proposed to measure the load of the network. A single-agent Q-learning algorithm is proposed afterwards. The convergence of this algorithm is proved. Simulation results are given to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we present a voice conversion (VC) method that utilizes conditional restricted Boltzmann machines (CRBMs) for each speaker to obtain time-invariant speaker-independent spaces where voice features are converted more easily than those in an original acoustic feature space. First, we train two CRBMs for a source and target speaker independently using speaker-dependent training data (without the need to parallelize the training data). Then, a small number of parallel data are fed into each CRBM and the high-order features produced by the CRBMs are used to train a concatenating neural network (NN) between the two CRBMs. Finally, the entire network (the two CRBMs and the NN) is fine-tuned using the acoustic parallel data. Through voice-conversion experiments, we confirmed the high performance of our method in terms of objective and subjective evaluations, comparing it with conventional GMM, NN, and speaker-dependent DBN approaches.

This paper investigates techniques to compensate for the effects of regional accents of British English on automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance. Given a small amount of speech from a new speaker, is it better to apply speaker adaptation, or to use accent identification (AID) to identify the speaker's accent followed by accent-dependent ASR? Three approaches to accent-dependent modelling are investigated: using the 'correct' accent model, choosing a model using supervised (ACCDIST-based) accent identification (AID), and building a model using data from neighbouring speakers in 'AID space'. All of the methods outperform the accent-independent model, with relative reductions in ASR error rate of up to 44%. Using on average 43s of speech to identify an appropriate accent-dependent model outperforms using it for supervised speaker-adaptation, by 7%.

This paper examines target detection using a Linear Support Vector Machine (L-SVM). Traditional radars typically use a Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) processor to adaptively adjust the detection threshold based on the fast-time return signal. The SVM formulation uses the same block-diagram structure as the CFAR approach; however, data from the leading and lagging windows is directly used to classify each cell under test. The L-SVM method is compared to a Cell-Averaging CFAR (CA-CFAR) on simulated radar return signals with and without Swerling I targets. The results show that the L-SVM is able to detect very small SNR signals, while the CA-CFAR is unable to detect these signals below -10 dB SNR. In addition, the probability of detection and probability of false alarm for the L-SVM degrade much more gracefully than for the CA-CFAR detector for low-SNR targets.

Feature points, such as SIFT, BRISK, ORB, and FREAK, are effective for template matching, pattern recognition, and object alignment. However, since an image usually has 200-4000 feature points and the size of each descriptor is 512 or 256, an efficient way for encoding the descriptors and locations of feature points is required. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to encode the descriptors, locations, and angles of BRISK, ORB, and FREAK points efficiently. We apply both the global and local statistical characteristics and apply different reference points for the cases where the previous bit is 1 or 0. Moreover, the facts that feature points do not uniformly distribute and that two feature points with a short distance always have a small angle difference are also applied for compression. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm can much reduce the data sizes required for encoding feature points.

This paper investigates speaker direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using a single acoustic vector sensor (AVS). With the definition of the inter-sensor data ratio (ISDR) in the time-frequency (TF) domain and the use of the high local signal-to-noise ratio (HLSNR) TF points, an effective ISDR data model is derived, which determines the relationship between the ISDR and the AVS manifold vector. With the spatial sparse representation of the ISDR data, the DOA estimation is formulated by recovering the sparse matrix and locating the peak of the power spectrum of the reconstructed sparse matrix. Preliminary experimental results using simulations and real AVS recordings show that the proposed DOA estimation method is able to achieve high elevation and azimuth estimation accuracy for all angles when the SNR is above 10dB, avoiding the spatial aliasing problem and suppressing the adverse impact of the room reverberation. It is expected that the proposed DOA estimation method may find wide applications in portable devices due to its small compact physical size and superior performance.

The popularity of smartphones and mobile applications has boosted over the top (OTT) services during the recent years, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. However, frequent connection reestablishments caused by OTT services which send or receive small amounts of data often lead to a heavy signalling load within the mobile networks. That has brought about signalling storm, which is a specific problem of mobile networks. It is mainly limited by the scarcity of wireless spectrum resources. Heartbeat mechanism is one of OTT services. Smartphones communicate with the mobile networks by the heartbeat mechanism to report whether they are online. Although heartbeat message belongs to smalldata services, it lead that users update their status frequently. The payload of update message can not be ignored. Thus, for OTT services such as Wechat, mobile QQ, the optimization of heartbeat mechanism has become one of the best methods to reduce the network payload. In this paper, we proposed a new concept visual user equipment (VUE) which can imitate some periodic information of user equipment (UE) and replace the UE to communicate with applications in the cable end. We also proposed a scheme to reduce the transmission of heartbeat signallings according to the state of OTT services. Under the same end-to-end payload condition our scheme has greater network capacity and higher throughput at the expense of a little rise in packet loss rate only when the arrival rate of service packets is high. On the other hand, our scheme can relieve the signalling storm of OTT services to a great extent.

With the popularization of computer and network in recent years, the information degree of daily life is increasing, the demand for information transmission and processing is increasing too. data flow in the network transmission is very large, it is necessary to propose effective data stream processing method. Compressed sensing can reconstruct the entire signal with cost a small amount of observed data, this significant savings hardware resources and the cost of processingdata. Compressed sensing ideas brought great improvements in data stream processing problems. In this paper, we use the latest ideas of compressed sensing to solve the optimization problem of the reconstruction of data streams, and provide adaptive weighted regularization method. The simulation examples show that the proposed method can reconstruct data stream well, and have some superiority on the reconstruction compare with other reconstruction algorithms.
